Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
This is an old English saying. It means that we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.
Is this true Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten hours' sleep every night. If you do not go to bed early, you can't have enough sleep. Then you can't think properly（正确地） and you can't do your work properly. You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy!

When the daylight comes, we should get up. This is the time for exercise. If the body is not used, it will become weak. Exercise keeps it strong.
Exercise helps the blood to move around inside the body. This is very important. Blood takes nutrition to all parts of our bodies. The brains（大脑） in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy, and take exercise, we can think better!
Our bodies also need air to breathe（呼吸）. Without air we will die. Get up early in the morning and we can have plenty of clean fresh air. That will keep us healthy and happy.

You can also learn more about your own language and culture. Learning about each other's language and culture helps us have a better understanding of each other. If you are interested in English, you should continue to learn about it. Your sense（感觉） of language and specific knowledge（专业知识） can be your strong point s in the future. Using AI in a right way can help you a lot, but it can't do everything. People and AI need to work together, which can be a bridge between people through languages. Dr. Know
