There are a few other things, however, that most surfers find important: a rope to attach one of their ankles to the board and th
6、erefore stop the board going a long way when they fall off; wax, which they put on the surface of the board to help their feet stick to it; and a wetsuit to help them keep warm in cold water. The southwest of England is an example of a place where surfers usually need wetsuits, even in the summer, b
7、ecause the water is so cold. Surfing has been a professional sport for many years, and the very best surfers are able to make a living from it.

11、y laptop computer as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My g
12、oals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule no laptops, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some
13、 of them were not happy.Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. Theres a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. Theres no truth to that at all. I love technology and try to keep up
14、 with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas.

But how can we become good students? In my opinion, those who are strict

Being good students, we should show respect to our teachers and the elderly and be always ready to

In a word, good students are always trying their best to make constant progress so that they can achieve their goals.
