Think and share
1. What is the meaning of “Well begun, half done.”
“Well begun, half done.” means that a good beginning plays an important role in the success of doing something. In this passage, “Well begun, half done” refers to Meng Hao's good beginning of his new start at senior high.
2. Do you think Meng Hao’s first day at senior high was a good new start Why or why not
Yes, I think Meng Hao's first day at senior high was a good new start because he was emotionally ready based on his confident attitude and cognitively got some advice from his English teacher to face challenges.
3. What challenges may Meng Hao have to face later Give some examples.
I think Meng Hao may face some challenges in the following aspects:
(1) after-school activities: what school clubs should I choose
(2) time management: how to manage time well
(3) interpersonal relationship: how can I get along well with new classmates
(4) study pressure: how can I improve the learning efficiency
(5) participatory decision-making: suggestions to administrators.
