经常
My parents are worried that I may become an “Internet addict” . They think I’m playing computer games all the time and I chat too much with online friends. According to them, there is a danger that I may not be able to tell whether these friends are real friends. My mum keeps telling me to go out with my school friends instead. Maybe she’s right. It's important to meet friends in person from time to time, not just on social media.

I’m a ... go- getter!
I’m Li Ying. I like to set goals for myself. I’m a “go- getter”—when I set out to do something, I do my best to achieve it.Senior secondary school is a new start. Studying is definitely a big part of my life. I tend to set a goal for every subject at the beginning of each term. My aim is to do well in every subject this term. Biology is my favourite subject, and my target is to prepare myself for my degree in biology at university. I am always attentive in all classes and think actively, so that I can have more free time to do other things that I’m interested in after school.

To achieve all I want, I must use my time well. At school, I do my homework when I have spare time. After school, I try to use any possible time to revise the things I have learnt during the day.
