Constantly search for inspiration.【5】This could mean something as simple as looking for blogs that showcase work that you admire or going to a museum in your college town and wandering around for a bit.

Even if you don't feel that you have enough talent to make your art a part of your professional career,it never hurts to try.The skills that you learn while working at your art might even possibly help you in the workplace down the road.

According to a study by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD),Spanish 15-year-olds have 6.5 hours of homework a Week compared with an average of 4.9 across the 38 OECD countries. The Spanish Confederation of Associations of Mothers and Fathers of Students (Ceapa) is calling on parents whose children attend Spanish state schools to boycott weekend homework in November.

"We've lost a bit of common sense in this country when it comes to talking about education and we've got a system in which boys' and girls' free time has disappeared",said Jos Luis Pazos,president of Ceapa."Schools are passing on tasks to families that they shouldn't be.It starts with children from the ages of three to six doing half an hour's homework every day.For us,that's an unacceptable situation".

Pazos said Ceapa disagreed with the belief that children should endure huge amounts of homework in the hope that it would ensure them a better future.They should be.happy when they're little and that life isn't just about someone telling you that you have to suffer inexplicably（難以理解地）.The model needs to change because society has changed.

Schoolchildren have to fit their homework around the school day,which varies from region to region and school to school,but starts early from around 8 am or 9 am and finishes anywhere between 2 pm and 5 pm.However,schools are increasingly using an 8 am-2 pm timetable to save money and in the face of evidence that suggests the longer hours do not yield better results.

A spokesman for the education department of Madrid said homework was a matter for individual schools rather than regional governments.They're the ones who know best what the need is in each case.

B. Happiness is the most important thing for a child.

I grew up in my grandparents’ home. My grandfather would take all his grandkid for walks. Usually we would go to his garden, which he would pick apples that had tasted by the bird and carve off the opposite side to give to us. I once asked, “Why do you not to offer the ripe-looking apples untouched by the bird?” Feel unhappy, I thought he was such mean. Maybe he wanted to sell the “good” apples instead of feed them to his grandkids. He rolled his hand over my head gentle. “Birds only eat the sweetest apples, but I pick the best for you,” he said. “Never assume; always ask.” My grandfather teaches me a good lesson.
