Original – Part 3

I think everyone has some good habits or bad habits but for example – take an example – take my experience for example I have some good habits and some bad habits such as I always get up early for studying I think this is a good habit for me. I think it is very important that parents should cultivate good habits in their children such as to eat meals on time, and fall asleep on time. Maybe the one reason is that their parents made a bad example for them and the other reason I think the children are very young they will learn lots of things from people around them. So if someone have bad habits they don’t know it’s wrong so they will follow the adults.
