What is the most convenient (方便的) way to travel around China? By train, of course. There are some ways to buy train tickets. You can buy tickets at a train station or a train office, and you can also book online with a travel app, or at China Railway’s official website. You can even book by your telephone.

Though most ticket windows at the train station serve 24 hours every day, the trouble is that you may stand in long lines. So make sure you arrive at the station at least one hour before the train leaves. And what is the easiest way to buy a ticket? Using your phone! It’s simple to add the common user information in 12306 and fill in the full name following your passport. After finishing this step, 12306 will show that you have successfully registered (注册) and then you can book your tickets.

For most people, life is never easy. That’s especially true for high school students.

Not only do you have the stress and worry of schoolwork to deal with, you also have the many problems of daily life to face. Take the relationship you have with your parents for example.

When you were at primary school, your parents were probably your heroes. Whatever they did and whatever they said were always so interesting and funny. But as you grew older, it’s likely that you and your parents began to grow apart from each other.

Their jokes began to sound embarrassing (尴尬的), and the last thing you’d want to do is to walk in the park holding hands with them. This is just one of the natural parts of growing older.

Life has many difficult stages, but the teenage years are probably the ones that are filled with the most problems. As this is the time of life, when we begin to turn into adults, lots of new problems appear.

Now you can’t just rely on your parents to do everything for you—you must take responsibility for yourself and your own actions. At the same time, as your body begins to develop, problems appear that you never knew existed (存在). Things like being worried about how you look in front of others—from your height to the size of your ears—soon become daily concerns. (影响)

And while all this is happening, you have to plan for your future. As you come to the end of your school years, you have to make some really big decisions.

So, yes—being a teenager is really hard, and you probably have many questions that you need to answers. How do you decide whether you should follow the wishes of your parents, or your own? Which career (职业) is the most suited to you and your background?
