话题三 学校生活(A)
A
[2019·成都毕业班摸底测试]
Beginning life at college naturally develops both excitement and anxiety for many reasons. For some students, this feeling is quickly overcome as they adapt to a new environment; for others the change takes longer and sometimes appears as homesickness.
If you are homesick, you might notice changes in the following:
●Low energy or motivation.
●Trouble sleeping.
●Increases/decreases in appetite.
●Having difficulty with school.
●Increased use of drugs or alcohol.
●Lack of interest or involvement in new surroundings.[来源:Z+xx+k.Com]
Causes
●The distance from home — the farther you go, the worse it may be.
●Unhappiness when things are different from your expectations of college life.
●You have finally arrived at college after working toward it for so long.
●A heavy workload.
●Students who are homesick often feel they have no control over their environment.
What might help?[来源:学科网]
●Keep in good contact with the people you have left behind, but also give yourself time within the college to begin to get involved there.
●Be realistic about what to expect from college life and from yourself. Set up a balance between work and leisure.
●If work is proving too difficult, you may need to improve your study skills or your organization of time.
●Remember to get enough food and sleep! These affect you emotionally as well as physically.
●Make contacts and friends through shared activities such as sports or other interests.[来源:学科网]
●If you stop being able to do normal social and academic things, seek professional help either from your adviser or dean or the counseling service.
