"Before we all eat, I want to remind you a few things about our archaeology excavations tomorrow. First, make sure to have enough sleep tonight as we will work until evening. Second, wear more sunscreen as the weather is hot recently. Make sure tomorrow, you done your best without playing and enjoy yourself with this excavation. OK?"
