reading habits. So read plenty of books and newspaper on
regular basis. Work on vocabulary enhancement. Pick up new
hobbies. Watch informative programs on National Geographic
and Animal Planet. Work on building up your strengths. Don’t
forget to lend your hand to your elders at home.
Have a fun filled vacation!!
