        My life in the first semester was as busy as I had expected. I had a class that started at 8:00am Monday through Thursday and it was so difficult for me to get to class on time. I had lots of assignments that had to be done every week. They weren't worth many marks but they were very helpful for my own understanding of the content.
        第一学期的学习生活正和预期的一样忙碌。周一到周四早上8点我有一堂课，准时到教室对我来说很困难。每周都有很多必须要做的作业。这些作业并不占多少分数，但在建立我对课堂内容的理解上很有帮助。
        At first it was hard for me to manage my time well. When I recall what I was doing last semester in Grade 12 every day I realize that I wasted most of my time in the afternoon and thus I had to stay up till midnight or even later in order to have my work done. I decided not to repeat this mistake this semester.
        最初时间管理对我来说有困难。当回想起在12年级最后一个学期的日常学习生活，我意识到我浪费了大量下午时光，导致要熬夜到半夜甚至更晚才能完成作业。现在我决定不再重复那个学期的错误做法。
        As for my spare time I'm usually with my friends. I'm usually on my computer when I am alone and I go shopping or workout with my friends. I visit my professors during their office hours for extra help and three of my professors can even call my name when they see me!
        至于我的空闲时间，通常我和朋友在一起。一个人的时候通常是在电脑前，有时候和朋友一起逛街或健身。在老师的工作时间内我会去找我的教授寻求额外帮助。现在有三个教授见到我时甚至能叫出我的名字。
        I've heard many of my peers saying that their university life is too busy and too difficult. I have the same feeling to some extent but not so extreme. The reason for it is that I did 8 courses in Grade 12 including English Pre-Calculus IT PE Calculus Physics Chemistry and Geography. These courses helped me with many of my first year courses and the tight schedule got me familiar with busy life.
        我已经听过很多同学说他们的大学学习生活太忙碌太艰难了，某种程度上我有同感，但不完全认同。原因是在12年级时我选修了8门课程，包括英语，微积分预科，IT，体育，微积分，物理，化学和地理。这些课程对我大学一年级的许多课程都有帮助，并且紧张的课程安排也让我熟悉了忙碌的学习生活。
        Many of the Grade 12 courses will help students a lot in first-year university courses even if the content is very different. For example I did IT 12 with Mr. Lindholm in Grade 12 and we learned Python programming in that course. That actually helped me a lot in my first year computer programming course.
        许多12年级课程虽然内容不同。但对许多大学一年级课程学习都有帮助。例如， Lindholm老师的IT12课程讲到的Python编程实际上有助于我的大学一年级计算机编程课。在枫华中学学习的关键意义是为了大学课程学习做好准备，意识到这一点对枫华学生来说会很重要。
        In addition as most of the students have to do four or five courses every semester in university in order to get a degree on time it is a good idea for them to get familiar with busy life prior to getting into university. As a result to better survive in university I do recommend Sino kids to take a lot of courses in Grade 12 not just the one required for graduation. It is important for Sino students to realize that the point of coming to Sino is to get prepared for university.
        另外，为了按时获得大学学位，许多学生每个学期都需选修四到五门课程。能够在进入大学前先了解适应忙碌的学习生活是个不错的建议，这样可以更好的适应大学生活。我建议枫华学生在12年级时多选修几门课程，不只是毕业要求课程。枫华学生选择在枫华学习的关键意义是为了大学学习做好准备，意识到这一点至关重要。
