Listening to the world6 Discuss the questions.ListeningAfter you listen2 How do you comment on the saying “Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise ? Though it may be true that “early to bed, and early to rise helps you to stay physically healthy and mentally active, its really hard to say that it can also make you wealthy. Actually, many people who are able to make big money often have to work till late at night. Besides, its almost impossible for us young people to follow an “early to bed, and early to rise schedule since we have lots of schoolwork to do every day. Even if we are free sometimes, we will not go to bed early but try to have some kind of entertainment together with friends or classmates.

Keep noise down, keep the room cool, and make sure the bed is comfortable. Third, try relaxing bedtime rituals. Fourth, eat and drink properly. Stay away from big meals at night.

It is important for people from other cultures to know this, so that they wont have the wrong feeling that we arent hospitable enough to them.
