My university life
I had been waiting with my fellow graduating students for the moment when I would walk out onto the stage to receive my degree certificate①[1].I was happy and relieved②,yet worried and anxious about the future.What was my first job going to be like? This short walk was going to launch me into③ a whole new world.How would I manage? Would I be able to carve out④ a career for myself? My name was called and I moved into the lights.I heard the applause.I knew my parents would be watching and smiling at each other and I tried to relax.I held my certificate against my breast⑤ and smiled at the camera.Before I knew it[2],the ceremony was over and the curtain⑥ had come down on my university life.Where had the time gone? Four years had disappeared in a flash⑦.I stood with my certificate in hand and reflected on⑧ those four years.

I remembered arriving at university on my very first day,pausing at the gate to look down the long drive⑨[3].I could feel my hands sweating slightly and I had to hold on tight⑩ to my suitcase.Would I be able to fit in⑪? Did this new phase of my life mean that I was now mature⑫ enough to be entirely responsible for⑬my own successes and failures? I took a few seconds to compose myself⑭and to take in⑮ the scene that was laid out⑯ before me[4].The campus was alive with people.Anxious parents and excited students were talking in small groups,carrying suitcases or walking in and out of dormitory⑰ buildings.I wondered if the first day of school was always such a circus⑱[5].I took a deep breath⑲ and carried on into the heart of the campus.Little did I know that I was about to experience the best four years of my life.[6]

I remembered working on my first assignment.It was a 3,000word essay⑳ on geometry and I wasn’t even sure how to begin the first paragraph.Instead ofseeking good advice,I kept putting it off.Rather unwisely,I left it to the last minute.As the deadline approached,I had to stay up all night working on my laptopto complete it.The next day I felt dizzy and started coughing and sneezing.Unsurprisingly,it wasn’t a very good essay.However,this taught me a valuable lesson.As soon as I received the next assignment,I headed straight for the library to find the reference booksI needed for my research[7],and then created an outline followed by a draft[8].After careful editingand polishing,the result was a much better essay than the last,and it was ready in my desk drawer days before the deadline.I would stick to this approach for the duration of my studies.

I remembered cooperating with my classmates on group projects.Everyone would be assigned a specific task,and my role was usually to produce the presentation.We would meet in the school cafeteria to bounce ideas offeach other,and would laugh and argue and laugh some more as we learnt to work together as a team.I realized that learning didn’t have to be a solo effort and that working with other people could be much more stimulating and productivethan working alone[9].
I remembered visiting my favourite professor,a tall gentleman with his beard and hair going grey,during his office hours for the first time.Initially,I found his strictness intimidating,but quickly came to admire him for his vast knowledge and deep understanding of his subject.It soon dawned on me that many university professors are quite willing to share what they know[10],and they do take a genuine interest in their students’ intellectual development.

I heard my parents’ voices calling me and I returned to the moment.After the graduation ceremony we headed home by train.I looked out of the carriage window at the world speeding by[11].The journey home gave me time to think about what the future might hold for me[12].University has changed me.Not only am I now more intellectually prepared for the world of work,but I am also more confident about my own abilities.I have grown as an adult and I have also discovered more about myself.Yes,I am ready for a new phase in my life.

我的大学生活
我和我的同学们一直在等待着我走上台领取学位证书的那一刻。我既感到高兴又感到宽慰,但又为未来担心和焦虑。我的第一份工作会是什么样子的?这短短的一段路让我进入了一个全新的世界。我该怎么做呢?我能开创自己的事业吗?点到我的名字了,然后我走到灯光下。我听到了掌声。我知道父母一定正在观看并相视一笑,我尽量放松。我把证书贴在胸前,对着镜头微笑。不知不觉,毕业典礼已经结束,我的大学生活也落下了帷幕。时间都到哪里去了?四年转瞬间就过去了。我拿着证书站在那里,回想着这四年来的经历。
我记得来上大学的第一天,我在校门口停下,望着长长的车道,我可以感觉到我的手在微微出汗,我不得不紧紧抓住我的手提箱。我能适应吗?我生活的这个新阶段是否意味着我已经足够成熟,可以为自己的成败负责?我花了几秒钟时间让自己镇定下来,并观察了一番眼前的情形。校园里人来人往。焦虑的父母和兴奋的学生们三五成群聚在一起聊天,提着手提箱,在宿舍楼里进进出出。我想知道开学的第一天是否是一种热闹的场面。我深吸了一口气,继续向校园中心走去,我几乎没想到我就要经历我一生中最美好的四年时光。

我记得我做第一个作业的时候,是一篇关于几何的3 000字的文章,我甚至不知道第一段怎么开头;我没有寻求好的建议,而是一直推迟,我把它留到最后一分钟,这是很不明智的。随着最后期限的临近,我不得不整夜在笔记本电脑上工作来完成它。第二天,我感到头晕目眩,开始咳嗽和打喷嚏,不出所料,它不是一篇很好的文章。然而,这给我上了宝贵的一课。一接到下一个作业,我就直奔图书馆去找我研究所需的参考书,然后写了一个提纲和一个草稿。经过仔细校订和润色之后,结果是比上一稿好很多的文章,并且在截止日期前几天它就在书桌抽屉里,随时可交。在研究期间,我会坚持这种方法。
我记得和同学们合作做小组项目。每个人都会被分配一个特定的任务,我的职责通常是演示幻灯片。我们会在学校的自助餐厅见面,互相交流意见,当我们学会如何作为一个团队一起工作时,我们会笑,会争论,但笑得更多。我意识到学习不必独自努力,和其他人一起工作可能比独自工作更振奋人心和有效率。
我记得第一次在我最喜欢的教授的办公时间去拜访他的情形,他是一个高个儿绅士,须发灰白。起初,我觉得他的严格令人生畏,但很快就开始钦佩他渊博的知识以及他对学科知识的深刻理解。很快我就开始明白,许多大学教授非常愿意分享他们所知道的,并且他们的确真心实意地关心学生的智力发展。
我听见父母在叫我,便回过神来。毕业典礼后,我们坐火车回家,我从车窗望出去,看着世界飞驰而过。回家的旅程给了我时间去思考我的未来。大学改变了我。现在,我不仅在智力上为工作做好了准备,而且对自己的能力也更有信心了。我已经长大成人,也对自己有了更多的了解。是的,我已经准备好连接人生的新阶段了。
