首先请阅读以下大学新生入校后可能面临的一些实际困难:
A | | Not enough partying: When asking some students what they thought about their first college experience…many stated that their worst fears have come true. Their social life has been totally reduced. Their school work has taken over their life 24/7. |
B | | Money: Many students fear that the costs are too high. Education so far has been provided to students for free. When entering college/university, many face loans and high costs. They thus fear that they will not be able to pay off their debts. |
C | | Failing to Meet the Standards: Many students who received A’s in high school faced difficulties in their first year. Their marks at times drop to 60%. With most masters and specialized programs only considering B+ to A students, many panic. |
D | | Being Homesick: Some students are close to family. When starting your college/university life, they become independent. Many students no longer rely on family to help them make decisions. Many fear that they will become homesick and will not be able to handle the independence. |
E | | Being Safe: Many question whether universities and colleges are safe? Increasing incidents have given fear to those who enter university for the first time. Drug issues and violence are some main worries students have. |
F | | Not Fitting In: Many students fear that they would not fit in. Their personalities may be against the programs, the directors and professors. Many are not used to being in a lecture of 200+ students. And all kinds of clubs may make them puzzled. |
下面是大学生辅导员对这些困难给出的相关建议。请帮他们找出所匹配的“症结”。
1. _____ I was quite worried about being safe when students think they are old enough to face the complex society. After all they are still too young to realize the dangers of taking drugs. Luckily there are more organizations checking student’s safety in universities.
2. _____ All university students are eager to have more colorful life in the campus. But surely you will have to face a crueler situation after your graduation. You can make a reasonable timetable to make your life full. Make more friends and find more party chances but make sure of your time.
3. _____ I know a number of people who gave up in their first year because they did not suit themselves with the new environment. They are thus discouraged and feel that university life is just not for them. Just change your mind! After all the new environment is equipping yourself with a more bright future.
4. _____ I share the worries with many students. Universities are competitive and the grades are also harder to earn. To earn an A in a course, the student must work harder in the new environment to meet the expectations. Relieve yourself and keep a peaceful mind.
5. _____ There are some students who are worried that they will be kicked out if their bills are not paid on time. I know several students who work full time and study full time to pay off their expenses. You will value the working experience before you come into the society.
