Realizing your potential①
Hello, everyone! Welcome to senior high school! Today is the start of a new term, the start of a three-year journey and the start of a promising future②.
[1]I can't wait to③ describe to you what senior high school life is like. The path④ before you leads to⑤ a world full of challenges⑥:a new environment, new knowledge and new ways of thinking⑦. However, for those of you with a positive⑧ mind, opportunity⑨ lies in⑩ each challenge. [2]When you rise to⑪ the challenges, you will have the opportunity to acquire⑫ great knowledge and enjoy personal growth. Most importantly⑬, your time and effort⑭ at senior high school will open the door to your potential.
[1]本句是复合句。句中what引导宾语从句,what在从句中作介词like的宾语。
[2]本句是复合句。句中When引导时间状语从句,动词不定式短语“to acquire...personal growth”作opportunity的后置定语。
“What is potential?” you may ask. Put simply⑮, potential is your natural ability that can be developed when you try hard enough. Who knows what beautiful works of art you will create, what medical advances⑯ you will make or what amazing⑰ technologies you will develop! The possibilities are endless, and I have confidence⑱ in your ability to make a difference to⑲ your family, to your community and to our country. Over the next three years, you will discover your potential [3]while you develop as a student and as a person.
[3]此处为while引导的时间状语从句;句中的as是介词,意为“作为”。
[4]To fully realize your potential, it is important for you to make the most of⑳ our school resources㉑. Take advantage of㉒ your classes, learn from your teachers and classmates, and make use of㉓ our school facilities㉔. There are also a lot of school activities for you. Join a club or two, and take an active part in㉕ different sports.
[4]本句中动词不定式短语“To fully realize your potential”作目的状语;句中还包含“it is/was+adj.(+for sb.)+to do sth.”句型, it是形式主语,真正的主语是“to make the most of our school resources”, for引出动词不定式短语的逻辑主语you。
[5]Of equal㉖ importance are good study habits, useful skills and a positive attitude㉗. Carefully plan your study, set clear goals㉘ and balance㉙ your schoolwork with other activities. As a senior high school student, you must make efforts to improve㉚ your communication and problem-solving skills㉛. Last but not least㉜, always look on the bright side㉝ and never lose hope, even in difficult situations. In time㉞ you will [6]find yourself growing into a well-rounded individual㉟.
[5]本句为倒装语序,表语提前,正常语序为“Good study habits,useful skills and a positive attitude are of equal importance.”,其中are of equal importance是“be+of+n.”结构。
[6]此处为“find+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,现在分词短语“growing into...”作宾语补足语。
[7]As Lao-Tzu wisely said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” You need to make a continuous effort to train your mind and develop your character㊱. Senior high school will help you learn and grow, yet you alone㊲ are responsible㊳ for realizing your great potential. Be confident, do your best and make us proud!
[7]此处为as引导的非限制性定语从句,意为“正如”。

发挥你们的潜力
大家好!欢迎来到高中!今天是新学期的开始,也是三年的旅程及充满希望的未来的开始。
我迫不及待地想向你们描述高中生活是什么样子的。你们面前的道路通往一个充满挑战的世界:新环境、新知识还有新的思维方式。但是,对于你们中那些有着积极思维的人来说,机会存在于每一个挑战中。当你们迎接挑战时,你们将有机会获得丰富的知识并且享受个人的成长。最重要的是,你们在高中付出的时间和努力都将为你们打开潜力的大门。
你们可能会问,“什么是潜力呢?”简而言之,潜力是你们与生俱来的能力,当你们足够努力时,潜力就能得到开发。谁知道你们将创作出怎样美丽的艺术作品,取得怎样的医学进步或者研发出多么惊人的技术!可能性是无限的,我相信你们有能力影响你们的家庭、你们的社区和我们的国家。在今后的三年里,你们作为学生和个体成长的同时,将会发现自己的潜力。
为了充分发挥你们的潜力,对你们来说充分利用我们学校的资源是重要的。要利用你们的课堂,向你们的老师和同学学习,还要利用我们的学校设施。还有很多学校活动供你们参加。加入一个或两个俱乐部,积极参加不同的体育活动。
同样重要的还有良好的学习习惯、实用的技能和积极的态度。认真制定你们的学习计划,设定明确的目标,兼顾你们的功课和其他活动。作为一名高中生,你们必须努力提高沟通技巧和解决问题的能力。最后但同样重要的是,即使处境困难,也要始终乐观,永远不失去希望。最后,你们会发现自己成长为一个全面发展的人。
正如老子曾明智地说:“千里之行,始于足下。”你们需要不断地努力去训练你们的心智,发展你们的品格。高中会帮助你们学习和成长,但为发挥你们巨大的潜力而负责的只有你们自己。要自信,尽你们最大努力,让我们骄傲!

School life in the UK
Last year, I had the chance to study at a British secondary① school as an exchange② student. I stayed with a lovely host③ family and went to school with their son, Daniel. We were both in year ten and we got on well④.He is learning Chinese and will come to stay with me this year in China!
The British school day commonly begins around 9 a.m.and ends around 4 p.m. Every secondary school student in the UK must study English, Maths and the Science subjects:Biology, Chemistry and Physics. In year ten, students usually have to learn nine subjects and they can also choose to study other subjects, such as History, Art and Business.
[1]The classes are different from those in China. Each teacher has their own classroom and the students move around⑤ for every lesson. In most of my classes, there were only about 20 students. In the beginning, however, it was still tough⑥ for me to remember everyone's name!
[1]本句为简单句。句中的those指代的是前面的可数名词复数classes。
I enjoyed most of the classes, but some of them were quite challenging. Technology classes were fun⑦.I made a clock to take home. The teacher helped me put the parts together⑧.[2]I like it so much that I still use it as my alarm⑨! I found Maths quite easy and enjoyable because the material was less advanced in the UK than in China. However, learning in English was a great challenge for me. There were a lot of difficult English words, especially in Geography and Biology. Class discussion is very important in the UK, but I could not make a great contribution⑩ because sometimes I wasn't able to express myself clearly in English.[3]Although there was not as much homework as I was used to, it was still challenging. Fortunately⑪, my teachers and classmates were always helpful and gave me lots of encouragement. My language skills improved over time⑫.
[2]本句中“so...that...”引导结果状语从句。
[3]此处为although引导的让步状语从句;其中“as...as...”引导比较状语从句。
During the hour-long lunchtime, I ate in the school dining hall. There were lots of options⑬ including bread and butter⑭, chicken pie and puddings⑮, but I still missed my mum's cooking! After lunch, I often played on the school's huge sports field with Daniel and his friends. Sometimes we just relaxed under a tree or sat on the grass.
After school, there were many clubs to join. The one[4]that attracted⑯ me most was the Rugby⑰ Club. We played once a week⑱, and it was great fun. Also, I enjoyed acting in the Theatre Club. I still have photos of myself [5]acting in William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.Joining clubs was a great way to meet⑲ British students and make friends with them.
[4]此处为that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词The one,one指代的是club。
[5]此处为现在分词短语作后置定语。
I am glad to have the opportunity to experience this different way of life⑳.I met some great people and learnt a lot about school life in the UK.Daniel and his family were fantastic㉑ hosts, and his friends were very nice as well. I can't wait for Daniel to visit China!

英国的学校生活
去年,我有机会作为交换生在英国的一所中学学习。我住在一个亲切友好的寄宿家庭里,和他们的儿子丹尼尔一起上学。我们都上十年级,并且我们相处得很好。他正在学中文,今年会来中国和我一起住!
英国的上学日通常上午大约9点开始(上课),下午大约4点结束。英国的每个中学生都必须学习英语、数学和科学科目:生物、化学和物理。在十年级,学生通常要学习九门科目,也可以选择学习其他学科,如历史、美术和商业。
(英国中学的)班级与中国的班级不同。每个老师都有自己的教室,学生们每节课都(在不同的教室之间)走来走去。在我的大多数班级里,只有大约20名学生。不过刚开始,我还是很难记住每个人的名字!
大部分课程我都很喜欢,但有些课程很有挑战性。技术课很有趣。我做了一个钟表带回家。老师帮助我把零件拼装在一起。我如此喜欢它,以至于我还用它作为我的闹钟!我觉得数学很简单,也很有趣,因为英国的教材难度没有中国的大。然而,用英语学习对我来说是一个巨大的挑战。有很多难懂的英语单词,尤其是在地理和生物(学科)中。在英国,课堂讨论很重要,但是我能做的贡献不多,因为有时我无法清晰地用英语表达自己的想法。虽然家庭作业没有我过去的那么多,但仍然很有挑战性。幸运的是,我的老师和同学总是乐于帮助我,给予了我很多鼓励。我的语言能力随着时间的推移进步了。
在长达一个小时的午餐时间里,我在学校食堂吃饭。那里有很多选择,包括黄油面包片、鸡肉馅饼和布丁,但我还是想念妈妈做的饭菜!午饭后,我经常和丹尼尔还有他的朋友们在学校的大运动场上玩耍。有时我们只是在树下休息或在草地上坐坐。
放学后,有许多俱乐部可以参加。最吸引我的是橄榄球俱乐部。我们一周玩一次,真的很有趣。我也喜欢在戏剧俱乐部表演。我至今还留着自己表演莎士比亚的《仲夏夜之梦》时的剧照。加入俱乐部是认识英国学生并与他们交朋友的好方法。
我很幸运有机会体验这种不同的生活方式。我遇到了一些很棒的人,了解了很多英国的学校生活。丹尼尔和他的家人是极好的房东,他的朋友们也都很友好。我等不及丹尼尔来中国了!
