Ready for final year

Even though they’re anxiously awaiting their gaokao, Senior 3 students feel relieved after having survived their busiest year of high school.

Your milestone year begins in just two months, so how can you make the most of it? Here, three graduates offer some practical advice to help you navigate(航行) your final year in the right way.

Sun Hairuo, High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, Beijing:

Think ahead about your major. Even though some universities allow students to switch to a new major after enrollment, it still involves a lot of effort to do. So while you’re preparing for the gaokao, start to consider what field you want to major in at the same time.

When I was aware of my interest in social science, I began to collect information on the internet about what courses I’d like to take in university and what life would be like on campus if I chose this direction. Don’t judge a major before you know everything about it, since your entire future depends on it.

Qian Wenjing, Hangzhou Foreign Language School, Zhejiang:

Enjoy a hobby alongside your studies. It’s important to get high marks in all subjects, but if you have nothing that can distract you from the piles of homework, you’ll have no motivation.

For example, I run a WeChat public account, which you can find by searching for “大嘴小个儿” on WeChat. On it, I share my reflections on life, recommend good books and introduce learning methods to others. I also make videos on how to write an interesting daily journal for the video platform bilibili.com.

So, keep on top of your schoolwork, but make sure you find time to let your hair down sometimes too.

Wang Zixin, Beijing No 4 High School, Beijing:

Create your own system of knowledge using a notebook. In the review stage, find your weak points on every science subject after each exam. Summarize the knowledge behind the errors in your notebook — this will not only identify the problem, but will also save you time when you don’t have to spend so long figuring out the answer.

As for liberal arts subjects such as Chinese and English, write down any memorable sentences you come across in your notebook.

And keep it in mind that improvements don’t happen right away — it takes time to get better.
