    1     I can’t wait to describe to you what senior high school life is like. The path before you leads to a world full of challenges. However, for those of you with a positive mind, opportunity lies in each challenge. When you rise to the challenges,     2     你们将有机会获取大量的知识, and enjoy personal growth.     3     Most importantly, your time and effort at senior high school will open the door to your potential.

To fully realize your potential,     4     充分利用学校资源很重要。 Take advantage of your classes, learn from your teachers and classmates, and make use of our school facilities.Of equal importance are good study habits, useful skills and a positive attitude. Last but not least, always look on the bright side and never lose hope, even in difficult situation.     5     In time you will find yourself growing into a well-rounded individual.

I enjoyed most of the classes,     1     but some of them were quite challenging. Technology classes were fun. I made a clock to take home.     2     The teacher helped me put the parts together. I like it so much that I still use it as my alarm! I found Maths quite easy and enjoyable because the material was less advanced in the UK than in China.     3    然而, 用英语学习对我来说是一个巨大的挑战。There were a lot of difficult English words, especially in Geography and Biology.     4    课堂讨论在英国很重要，but I could not make a great contribution because sometimes     5     I wasn’t able to express myself clearly in English. Although there was not as much homework as I was used to, it was still challenging. Fortunately, my teachers and classmates were always helpful and gave me lots of encouragement. My language skills improved over time.
