In my spoken English class, I asked the students about their university life. To my surprise, 1.. After their highly controlled(控制) high school lives, they were having difficulty getting used to (习惯) the free time in the university. When I asked them to describe their high school lives, 2. they got up at six in the morning and studied until ten or even later at night. Most of this time was spent doing lots of homework.
When they entered the university, in my opinion, 3. to spend all their waking hours studying. They should also take an active part in social activities. They should learn to divide their time outside of class between sport sand clubs. What’s more, 4. watching TV and chatting with their roommates. But what surprised me most was that many of them did not seem happy because5.. They felt that they should be doing something else what ever they were doing. That’s why they were not happy.
To those students, my advice is: Get used to it and learn to make decisions for yourselves.
