In high school, we need to work harder. 【小题1】 Teachers and parents expect a lot more from you than before. Things get pretty busy. Here are some tips for you to fit in your high school life better.

Using a Planner

A good planner gives you an easy way to see your schedule for the day, week and month. Go buy one of your own. 【小题2】 Check your planner every night to see what homework you've got to do. As you get used to using your planner, you'll see how necessary it is.

Organizing Your Things

【小题3】 It seems like a good idea to have one huge notebook for all your classes because there's less to forget. But honestly, do you really want to bring all the notes and homework if you only need one of them?

【小题4】

Find a place in your home where you're comfortable and no family can disturb you. 【小题5】 You could also get a lap desk and do your work on your bed-just make sure you don't fall asleep! Make sure there are shelves and drawers for all necessary materials. Finally, keep it clean s0 that it's an inviting place to work in.

Moving to a foreign country is an amazing, life-changing experience. It’s a chance to meet new people, put yourself in a different culture and possibly learn another language. However, before such an adventure, there are some practical decisions that need to be made. One such decision is choosing where to live.

Will you stay in your own apartment where you can have your own space and privacy? Will you share a flat with other young foreigners who are in a similar position to you? Or will you choose to live with a host family? For me, choosing to live with a French family was the best choice I made, and here is why.

Firstly, a family can show you around the city or town and help you settle in, stopping you from feeling lonely. When you’re in a new environment with people that you don’t know and who are speaking a language you’re still not fluent in, you might feel lost, tired and homesick—I know I did. However, my host family were wonderful and welcoming; they showed me which buses to take to get to work, cooked dinner for me, and took me with them on trips to the beach, the theatre and even a bullfight（斗牛表演）. These were great chances to experience French culture and build relationships.

Above all, living with French people has helped me improve my language skills. Being constantly exposed to French conversations has allowed me to learn new phrases, widen my vocabulary and even improve my accent. My host family are happy to answer my questions and correct me when I say things wrong.

Finally, the experience of living abroad is one that you will remember forever, and perhaps the friendships—like the memories—will also last. I hope to remain in contact with my host family long after I leave France because when I was away from my friends and loved ones, they welcomed me and made me part of their family.
