For many young people, going to university is one of the most important stages of their lives. It is the time when    1     年轻人搬出家to live with other people, often strangers. Especially in the US, people often travel far from their home to study.     2     It is time to be independent.

At university, you will be taught by lecturers and professors who are leading figures in their study. The opportunity to learn from and to discuss with them is what drives some people to apply to university.     3     Students are required to choose a major that they wish to study. Apart from the academic benefit,     4     life at university also can allow students to develop their interests in many fields.

Therefore,    5     大学是一个你获取知识的地方，to develop your values and to accept those who may be different.

I’ve just finished my first day of senior high school and     1     我真的喜欢. I’ve been told that schoolwork will present more of a challenge in the years ahead, and that     2     the teachers will hold us to higher standards. This means I’ll have to put a lot of efforts into my studies. I’ll also need to be very careful about balancing my schoolwork and hobbies. This is all quite new and different from my life at junior high school, but I’m sure     3     我会应对这些挑战. In fact, I’m looking forward to being more independent and responsible for my own learning.     4     There is so much knowledge I need to acquire, so I will work harder than ever. I also plan to take advantage of every opportunity to improve my communication skills. I’ll make more friends by joining some clubs.     5     I have confidence in my ability to do well at senior high school!

I want to speak to you about the state of the playground.     1     People are throwing their garbage everywhere. They leave garbage on the ground instead of using the garbage cans.     2     这对孩子们来说是一件危险的事情。Yesterday, a six-year-old kid fell and cut his hand on a broken bottle.     3     The boy was taken to hospital. Also, the garbage makes the playground look dirty, and no one wants to go there.

    4     I would like you to handle this problem right away. For example, you should buy more garbage cans and stop people from littering.

Please think about my suggestions.     5     我等待着你的答复。

Best regards!
