IT’S over – millions of Senior 3 students across the country have finished their last exams. But in two years, it’ll be your turn in the examination room. How can you spend the time you have left to best effect? Read these thoughts from new graduates to get some pointers.
Cao A’min, 18
Xuanhua No 1 High School, Hebei
Study: Keeping pace (步伐) with teachers is a good way to study. Teachers are experienced and their plans are systematic (系统的). But remember to work in a way that suits you. It’s also important to learn from past mistakes. Keep a notebook to make a record of the mistakes you make – it’ll help you avoid making the same ones later.
Zhang Zilu, 17
Xinyu No 1 High School, Jiangxi
Friendship: This time of life may be hard, but you’re not alone. You may be busy studying, but you can show you care by calling your friends or sending a short message. Don’t let your friendships die. Some boys and girls in my class were in love, but I’d advise against a relationship at this stage.
Zhan Yu, 17
Huanggang High School, Hubei
Health: It’s as important to live well as it is to study well, I think. I went to bed no later than 11:30 pm. It put me in the right mood for the next day. I didn’t follow a special diet (饮食), but I did make sure I ate a nutritious (有营养的) breakfast each day.
Ju Shuntian, 18
Yantai Economic and Technological Development Zone Senior High School, Shandong
Relaxation: The person who plays well, studies well. Having a lot of schoolwork doesn’t mean having to give up on every other activity. I played basketball or took a walk to relax when I felt tired. Time out is not a waste of time but helps you study more efficiently (高效地).
Zhang Qingzhou, 17
Dongtai High School, Jiangsu
