Will you have to do a lot of homework every evening? Will your English classes be interesting? Who will teach you? Maybe you have lots of questions before school starts. Well, I want to give you some good advice about these questions.

First, keep calm(平静). Don't worry about all the questions you have. Put your heart into learning, and you will certainly find something you are interested in.

Second, try your best to finish your homework quickly. Don't spend a lot of time on it. Do as much reading and writing in English as possible. Don't stay up(熬夜) late, or you won't be able to study well the next day

Third, invent your own study methods instead of copying or repeating others'. If you can remember new words in your way, tell your teachers you don’t want to study new words by copying them again and again. If you are sure you can pass the tests well, I think your teachers will agree with you. And they can give some interesting work to do.

The school is really a good place for us to learn in. Believe in your teachers and yourself
