Interviewer: Hello and welcome to School Talk! Today I’m joined by a former student of our school, Lisa Osborne. Lisa graduated from our school last June and is about to go to college in New York. Lisa, thank you for coming to share your suggestions for high school with us.
采访人:大家好,欢迎收看《校园访谈》!本期嘉宾是我校校友莉萨•奥斯本。莉萨今年六月从我校毕业,即将在纽约上大学。莉萨,谢谢你来和我们分享你对高中的建议。
Lisa: Hi, everybody. I’m very glad to be back. I feel as if high school was only yesterday!
莉萨:嗨,大家好。我很高兴回到母校。我觉得高中生活就像是昨天发生的事一样历历在目!
Interviewer: So what helped when you first started high school?
采访人:那么,刚上高中时,有哪些事情对你有所帮助?
Lisa: Orientation Day was really helpful. It’s a fantastic opportunity for new students to get to know the school and the other students. I even made some new friends! Just keep an open mind and take part in as much as possible.
莉萨:迎新日真的很有帮助。这是新生了解学校和认识学生的绝佳机会。我那天结交了一些新朋友!只管敞开心扉,尽可能地参与其中。
2. How did she deal with new challenges?
She figured she’d better go all out and see what happens.
try one’s best
If you fail, no problem — next time you can fail better!
It is acceptable to fail, as long as you learn something from it to
help you succeed next time.
Lisa’s
suggestion
Lisa’s
attitude
Try your best and don’t be afraid of failure because it helps you learn and succeed.
frightened confident to face the challenges
Positive/ Optimistic.
Interviewer:That’s sound advice for sure. But how did you deal with new challenges, like starting a new course?
采访人:这的确是个不错的建议。但是,你是如何应对新挑战的呢,比如学习一门新课程?
Lisa:I had a chemistry test right at the end of the first week. I was frightened at the sight of the test paper. But then I figured I’d better just go all out and see what happens. If you fail, no problem—next time you can fail better!
莉萨:开学第一周才结束时,我就有一场化学考试。我看到试卷就害怕了。不过后来我就觉得,最好还是全力以赴考考看。如果这次考不好,没关系——下次你可以做得更好!
3. How did she handle disappointments?
She kept working hard to support her teammates and be part of something she loved.
Lisa’s
suggestion
Lisa’s
attitude
Keep working hard to be part of something you love.
disappointed relieved/ a big-picture thinker
Positive/ Optimistic.
Interviewer: So, hold your head up, then. But life is not always easy. You must have had some moments when you were disappointed. If so, how did you deal with them?
采访人:也就是说,诀窍就是永不放弃。但生活并非总是一帆风顺。你肯定有过灰心丧气的时候。这种情况下,你是如何应对的呢?
Lisa: As a member of the school volleyball team, I wasn’t selected for the end-of-year competition. At first I was really sad, but later I realized that I joined the team for the love of the sport. It wasn’t just about winning. So I kept working hard to support my teammates during our training. There’s always a way to be part of something you love, isn’t there?
莉萨:作为学校排球队的一员,我没有入选年终赛。一开始我非常难过,但后来我意识到,我是因为热爱这项运动才加入球队的,与我赢球(是不是能上场)无关。所以,我在培训期间一直努力支持我的队友。对于自己热爱的事情,总有办法参与其中,不是吗?

莉萨:回顾高中生活,我能给大家的最重要的建议就是作家玛雅•安吉洛的一句精彩名言。她说:“要成为别人云中的一道彩虹。”所以,当朋友需要帮助时要施以援手,这也会让你感觉很开心。
Interviewer: Neat! Well, thanks again for coming to speak to us, Lisa. And good luck with college!
采访人:太棒了!好的,再次感谢你今天来和我们分享,莉萨。祝你在大学一切顺利!

How to enrich our Life in the Senior School
As freshmen in senior high, some students can't adapt to the new school life. Here are some good tips on enriching our life.
Firstly, a life without a friend is a life without sunshine, so why not make a lot of good friends and enjoy helping each other? Secondly, in our spare time, we can take an active part in sports so that we can build up our bodies, which will surely be beneficial to our further studies. Besides, it's our duty to study hard to make sure that one day our dream of entering a key university will come true. Lastly, it's important for us to read books to enrich our minds.
In a word, life in the senior school is colorful and challenging.We should make good use of time to enrich our life.
