Starting high school is an exciting event.   71    Try these tips to help make the transition to high school go smoothly for you and your teenager.

     Talk to your teenager. Find out how your teenager feels about high school.   72   Share some of your own experiences with them, and see if you can get an older cousin or family friend to talk to them, as well.

   Orientation (迎新会) is a good thing.   73   The school will also likely have a parents’ night or parents’ orientation before or shortly after the school year begins. Your teenager may discourage you from attending it, but it is important for you to learn what to expect during their high school years. It is also a good opportunity to meet with teachers and other parents.

Discuss any extracurricular (课外的) activities they might like to take part in. It is important for you to know their after-school plans. Then you can set some limits on things including where they are, whom they are with, and how they will be transported.

For example, they may want to decide when to do their homework or when to go to bed, and may start spending more time on the computer or phone. While it is OK for you to loosen up on some things and let them make some of these decisions, make sure our teenager knows the limits.

Finding a suitable place to live is not easy for a student who first arrived in a strange place. I was lucky because I had booked a dormitory with the school before I arrived. It was a flat with seven independent rooms and a shared bathroom and kitchen.

All of my flatmates are all students from Britain. I thought I was lucky to be part of this flat with these energetic young men. However , I found myself unhappy with them only a few days, after I stayed there. These young person seemed never to be quiet. Usually they would not come back until late into the night. They even played football in the room whenever they liked, whether it was early morning or late night. Worse still, they always had parties. Those loud music and laughter made me sleepless the whole night. Finally, I had no choice but to ask the authority to move me to another flat where most of the students were degrees. They were older in age and held heavier study burdens. So they were quieter.

My advice for those who want to study in the UK is to get in touch with the international student accommodation service of your school first and tell them to arrange for you to share a flat with graduates before you come here.
