High School Hints
Interviewer: Hello and welcome to School Talk! Today I’m joined by a former student of our school, Lisa Osborne. Lisa graduated from our school last June and is about to go to college in New York. Lisa, thank you for coming to share your suggestions for high school with us.
Lisa: Hi, everybody. I’m very glad to be back. I feel as if high school was only yesterday!
Interviewer: So what helped when you first started high school
Lisa: Orientation Day was really helpful. It’s a fantastic opportunity for new students to get to know the school and the other students. I even made some new friends! Just keep an open mind and take part in as much as possible.
Interviewer: That’s sound advice for sure. But how did you deal with new challenges, like starting a new course
Lisa: I had a chemistry test right at the end of the first week. I was frightened at the sight of the test paper. But then I figured I’d better just go all out and see what happens. If you fail, no problem—next time you can fail better!
Interviewer: So, hold your head up, then. But life is not always easy. You must have had some moments when you were disappointed. If so, how did you deal with them
Lisa: As a member of the school volleyball team, I wasn’t selected for the end-of-year competition. At first I was really sad, but later I realized that I joined the team for the love of the sport. It wasn’t just about winning. So I kept working hard to support my teammates during our training. There’s always a way to be part of something you love, isn’t there
Interviewer: Yes, I totally agree. Is there anything else in particular that you’d like to share with us
Lisa: Looking back on my high school life, the most important advice I’d give is these wonderful words from the writer Maya Angelou. She said, “Be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud.” So, give your friends a hand when they need it. And this will make you feel good, too.
Interviewer: Neat! Well, thanks again for coming to speak to us, Lisa. And good luck with college!
Lisa: Thank you.

Dear fellow students,
Welcome to our new school. It’s my great honor to give a speech here on behalf of my group about the challenges we may face in senior high and how to deal with them effectively.
Actually, each of us will meet with a variety of difficulties in our lives and study, such as classmate relationships and study methods. When facing these challenges, we shouldn’t show any fear of them. Instead, it’s better for us to be calm, have confidence and analyze the problems to find out solutions.
Besides, we can always turn to our teachers for municating with them will enable us to have a better understanding of various aspects of life in high school and some effective learning methods. Regarding learning methods, I also have some good ideas to share with you, such as previewing lessons, getting actively involved in class, and reviewing what has been taught after class, which benefited me a lot during middle school.
A sample speech
As for interpersonal relationships, which really have a great influence on our moods and school life, my group suggests that we not only have an open mind, be helpful and show gratitude but also stick to some important principles when facing some peer pressure.
Additionally, it is a good idea for us to register for a school club, where we will meet some true friends with whom we have a lot in common. What’s more, after-school activities can enrich our life.
These are our group’s ideas and suggestions, and I hope they will be beneficial and help us adapt to high school life soon. Thanks for your attention. Good luck to all of us!

Friday 8 September
Finally, it's Friday! I can't believe the first week is coming to an end. Things are going well, but there is always something new just around the corner.
At junior high, I took lots of notes during class. So in physics class on Monday, I did the same, but the teacher spoke so fast that I couldn't take everything down. The teacher found I was struggling with note-taking and told me to stop and just listen. "Thinking is a more important ability than note-taking and memorising," he said.
After class on Wednesday, I hurried to the school skateboarding club. I was running out of the classroom when I bumped into a girl literally. I said sorry to her and she smiled at me. At the club, I had my first try at skateboarding and fell off the board a lot. Suddenly, a girl bumped into me - the same girl from the corridor! This time, both of us laughed. Her name is Sarah. We started to practise together and soon became friends.
I'm going to watch a film with Sarah tomorrow evening. I'm looking forward to it!
9月8日星期五
終于到周五了！我不敢相信第一周就要結束了。事情進展順利，但總有一些新的東西即將到來。
在初中時，我在課堂上記了很多筆記。所以在周一的物理課上，我也做了同樣的事情，但老師講得太快了，我沒能記下所有東西。老師發現我在記筆記方面有些吃力，就讓我停下來，只聽講。“比起記筆記和背誦，思考是一種更重要的能力，”他說。
周三放學后，我匆匆趕往學校滑板俱樂部。我剛出教室就撞到了一個女孩。我向她道了歉，她微笑地看著我。在俱樂部，我第一次嘗試滑板，從滑板上摔了下來。突然，一個女孩撞了我一下——就是走廊里碰到的那個女孩！這次，我們倆都笑了。她叫薩拉。我們開始一起練習，很快就成了朋友。
我明天晚上要和薩拉一起看電影，我非常期待！

Friday 8 September
How time flies! I can't believe the first week is coming to an end. Things are going quite well and there are one or two things in particular that have left a deep impression on me.
The English class on Thursday was unforgettable. During the class, we were asked to give a short speech about the first day at senior high. All my classmates were excited but l buried my head in my book. l had never delivered a speech in English before, and worse still, didn't feel quite at ease speaking in public.l was secretly hoping that nobody would notice me, when suddenly I heard my name called. I stood up, blushing, with nothing coming out of my mouth. "Don't be shy! Just think of your first day at senior high and say whatever comes to mind. lmagine we are all pumpkins if it helps." The teacher's words made me relax a bit, and l finally began to say something. Despite my trembling voice, l gave my first ever public speech in English. lt was hard, but it didn't feel bad.
Sample
WRITING
After school that day, l decided to go to the English Club to further practise my English. I believe that by practising more l can improve a lot. As the saying goes, "Practice makes perfect." While l was trying to pick up the courage to talk to someone, l heard a kind voice behind me. "Hello, i'm Tom. Nice to meet you." Sitting side-by-side, he shared with me some tips on how to improve my English. We had a lovely chat and soon became friends.
The first week of senior high has been quite exciting, and l am looking forward to making the most of senior high!

9月8日星期五
時間過得真快!我真不敢相信第一周就要結束了。一切都很順利，有一兩件事給我留下了深刻的印象。
星期四的英語課令人難忘。在課堂上，我們被要求做一個關于高中第一天的簡短演講。我所有的同學都很興奮，但我卻埋頭讀書。我以前從未用英語發表過演講，更糟糕的是，在公共場合演講感到很不自在。我暗自希望沒有人會注意到我，這時我突然聽到有人叫我的名字。我站了起來，滿臉通紅，一句話也說不出來。“別害羞!”想想你上高中的第一天，想到什么就說什么。如果有幫助的話，想象我們都是南瓜。”老師的話讓我放松了一點，我終于開始說話了。盡管我的聲音有些顫抖，我還是第一次用英語發表了公開演講。這很艱難，但感覺并不糟糕。
那天放學后，我決定去英語俱樂部進一步練習我的英語。我相信通過更多的練習我可以提高很多。俗話說:“熟能生巧。”正當我試圖鼓起勇氣和別人說話時，我聽到身后有一個和善的聲音。“你好，我是湯姆。很高興見到你。”他肩并肩地坐著，和我分享了一些提高英語水平的建議。我們聊得很愉快，很快就成了朋友。
高中的第一周是相當令人興奮的，我期待著充分利用高中!

Suggestions to the Head Teacher
Dear head teacher,
I am Lee, a freshman at senior high. It is a great honor to have this opportunity to give my suggestions in order to improve our school.
The first thing I would suggest is lunch break, which should be extended. The reason is that students almost have no enough time to take a rest and we possibly feel dizzy in the afternoon, which does harm to learning efficiency and effectiveness. Also, I think it would be a good idea to strengthen our bodies by promoting sports activities since physical and mental health is the precondition of study.
Another thing I would suggest is the school uniform. There is no doubt that school uniform is necessary for equality. Yet it would be great for us to show our personalities just every Friday.
Thanks for your patience and attention. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Lee
