Here comes Junior 3 year! This means that the high school entrance exam will arrive in less
than a year. How will you get through the final year of middle school and get ready for the big
exam? We invited two students to share their thoughts.
Zeng Qingmian,15，Jiangxi
I got a score of 730 out of 750 on the big exam. Junior 3 was quite stressful and it was even
harder for a boarding school（寄宿学校）student like me.I needed to make detailed plans-not only
for studying,but also daily chores like washing my clothes.
I was highly focused during class and tried to remember everything my teachers said. To
me,this is far more effective than spending time doing exercises after class.During self-study time
at night,I took every chance to ask teachers questions.I also counted time while doing quizzes.This
helped improve my learning efficiency.
I didn't have many review materials.My method was to make up my own questions.After
solving a math problem,for example,I would design my own problems that used the same concepts

Huang Ziyi,15，Beijing
I got a score of 560 out of 580 on the high school entrance exam. For me,knowing my
strengths and keeping a stable mind are necessary to make progress.The competition in Beijing is
fierce.Many students have tutors.I once took a coding class,but found that I wasn't good at it.So I
gave up and focused more on what I'm good at.
I have applied this principle（原则）to my studies.I go over the key points of each unit to
strengthen my skills in subjects like physics and math.When taking a test,I usually don't pay
attention to the questions I don't know and try to solve them at the end if there is still some
time left.One should learn to stay calm in situations like these.Don't worry too much about the
result of one test as long as you are learning and improving.

Dear everyone,
I appreciated a lot that all you have given me during the past year.
I have been here for a year, as you know that I am an exchange student. Everything is strange in the
beginning. Thanks to my teachers and friends' help, I have learnt much. In the past year, I have been in the
school club. I have learnt a lot from others. When I had problems, you always came to help me. And I have
been to many places of interest such as the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, Tian’anmen Square and so on.
Also I have tasted the delicious food. China is a country with a long history, so I haven't missed learning
about Chinese history and culture.
My experiences in China are few. But I will never forget them, and I will always remember every one
of you.
Thank you so much again.
Yours sincerely,
Mike
