School Days
School Days
School days are the best days of your life--or are they If they are, why do so many people have problems during those years
Exam stress, pressure from parents and friends can be a bit of a shock(震惊) after the happy days of primary school. Yes, you will get through, but will you come out on the other side with good experiences,good grades and good friends Or will you overwork, but not do as well as you should or find yourself left out by your friends There's no doubt about it. School is the ideal place for at least one or two hard lessons in life.
School is also a place full of opportunities and new experiences. You are independent of your family there, and you begin to make your own way and make lifelong friends.You learn lessons at school-not only about the world, but also about yourself, about otherpeople and how to make friends with them. You go on having ideas of your own, learning how to take responsibility and how to stand on your own feet.
A great thing about school is-it doesn't last for ever! Whatever challenges(挑战) you are facing at school, there is an end to them. Like everything in life, you will get through them and they will soon become a memory.
