Are you worried about moving up to Senior High school? It can be a new experience, but you shouldn’t worry. We’ve put together a guide on how to survive the first week.

You’re not alone!

Remember everybody else in your year is on the same boat. They may not realize it, but they’re just as nervous as you are. Moving to Senior High school is an opportunity, not a problem. Things are different and all you need to do is be polite and learn the new rules.

Teachers are ready to help!

If you’re unsure what to do or are worried about anything, then you had better ask for help. Teachers are probably the best people to turn to as they’ re experienced in helping new students. Some Senior High schools also have a “friends system”. If your school has this, then you will be paired with an older student. They will look out for you and help you if you have any problems or questions.

There are lots of differences between Junior High school and Senior High school. One of them lies in learning methods. In Junior High School, the learning process can be completed without much difficulty if you have a good memory. While study in Senior High requires both deep comprehension (理解) and memorizing, but the former (前者) is much more important. So that explains why many students can deal with the study in Junior High but can’t adapt to the learning process in Senior High. Besides you will need a homework diary or a student planner to help yourself get organized, or you will not be able to finish different tasks.

Other points

If you’ve got an elder brother or sister at the school then ask them for advice. Be yourself! It sounds simple, but people will know you much better if you just act naturally.

Having early nights makes a difference and you’ll find it easier to get up in the morning!

Many of us live with a roommate at times. Sometimes, there can be problems.Such as whose turn it is to take out the trash, or who should be the one to clear up after dinner?【小题1】

【小题2】There' s always someone to talk to, so you need never be lonely.

Besides these obvious benefits, there are some   you may not notice.【小题3】when living       with others.To examine the effect of living alone,Australian university researchers did much research and found that people living alone tended to eat less fresh food including fruits and vegetables,which can have side effects on long-term health. However, those living with others generally got benefits from a more varied diet compared to those living alone.

【小题4】 The researchers believe the social and cultural roles played by cooking, food preparation and eating may be important considerations. For example,those living with friends have someone else to go shopping with, and thus, they are more likely to buy higher-quality   fresh food regularly.

In addition, a person living alone can eat whatever they want at any time of the day. However, it' s helpful to have someone around who questions your decision to eat frozen pizza at 3:O0 am.【小题5】

So, if you now live alone, fighting a losing battle against poor eating habits, why not   consider sharing a home with someone else ?
