Your first term is sure to be manic (躁狂的)，but there’s no need to panic. Read the following suggestions on how to make your first months unforgetable.
Wake up
You’ve just finished spending the long summer holiday and now is the time to wake up and ready to work hard.
Eat properly
Eat fruit and vegetables every day, eat breakfast and avoid (避免) fatty, salty food; they all lead to a happier and healthier you.
Check stock
Make sure you’ve got everything you need, such as textbooks, pens, pencils, paper and anything else that’s specific to your lessons.
Question everything
Don’t be in a “Why am I here?” way, but try to get your head around anything you’ve not sure of. For example, if you don’t understand something that has come up in a textbook, ask your teachers.
Write stuff
Early on it’s worth making even more notes than you might usually, just to make sure you don’t miss anything that you will need later. As you progress you’ll get a better idea of how many notes you need to make.
Compare notes
Once you have made those notes, why not discuss them with your classmates? It’s a good way to get to know them better and make sure you haven’t missed anything in the process.
Get involved (参与)
When you sign up for all those clubs, don’t forget to go along to them! This is a chance to meet new people and learn new things.
_________
Let friends and relatives know how you’re getting on, while it’s also good to hear from the people you love. However, don’t go home on your first weekend if you live at the school; settle in your new surroundings first.

Q:
I’d like to know about fluency. What can I do to feel better when I’m talking to other people? Do you have some ways to learn it faster? Please help me!
---Roberto in Brazil
A:
Roberto wants to know how to become more fluent in English, and this is something you want to be able to do “fast”.
First, if you get to meet English speakers much, the important rule is to listen not just to native speakers of English, but aslo to very good users of English. If you don’t, then listen to the radio, TV or films in English.
The next step is to notice what it is that speakers of English do, which makes them sound fluent. The first trick (诀窍) is to probobly have confidence. Some people think they might make mistakes. Don’t worry about that. Your listeners will usually try hard to understand you---a few grammar mistakes aren’t going to worry them.
What you do need to worry about is pronunciation, especially stress (重音). When you learn a new word or expression, learn it with its stress. Notice how a native speaker says it or look it up in a dictionary.
Another good thing that speakers of English do is to have a few tricks up their sleeves (袖子) for when they need to give themselves thinking time. Sometimes they use “filler sounds” like er, um, and so on.
It is also useful to know how to bring other speakers into your conversation so that you keep them interested---and this is often done by asking questions like “What do you think?” “How do you feel about this?” and so on.
So, to become a fluent speaker, you’ll need to put into practice all these kinds of things. And there’s the key: practisce, practise, practise.

A. One can only learn stress from dictionaries.
B. Grammar mistakes worry one’s listeners a lot.

C
Friendship is something that everyone needs. Success is nothing without friends. You share life, happiness and sadness. A friend is someone you can depend on in a time of need and that can trust you with every secret he or she has.
So what happens when a friendship of eight years is broken over something out of their control? Does that mean it was never a true friendship to begin with?
My friend and I met in high school and have known each other for nearly eight years. What happened recently broke our lifelong friendship.
This makes me think about friendship really means. I always thought my friend and I could get through any argument, fight, or the sadness of life. We promised each other we’d always be friends, through thick and thin. We even joked about how we would sit in a circle and laugh at some jokes when we had grandchilren. We always laughed at every little thing.
But then her grandfather passed away (去世) and suddenly our friendship was nothing. It happened so suddenly that I never found out about it until I discovered a note she had written on the Internet. I was sad and hurt that she would post (发帖子) what I told her for other people to see. I understand that she was sad and wanted to vent (发泄) her sadness, but I wish she’d kept everything between us.
I don’t understand why she broke our friendship, and I don’t think I ever will. I think friendship means we’ll always forgive each other for our mistakes. I hope that finally I’ll find that true friend who will always be there for me, and I there for her.
