A. they should spend sometime

    C. they had so many choices

    D. many of them told me

E. many of them expressed disappointment

    In my spoken English class, I asked the students about their university life. To my surprise, 1.. After their highly controlled(控制) high school lives, they were having difficulty getting used to (习惯) the free time in the university. When I asked them to describe their high school lives, 2. they got up at six in the morning and studied until ten or even later at night. Most of this time was spent doing lots of homework.

    When they entered the university, in my opinion, 3. to spend all their waking hours studying. They should also take an active part in social activities. They should learn to divide their time outside of class between sport sand clubs. What’s more, 4. watching TV and chatting with their roommates. But what surprised me most was that many of them did not seem happy because5.. They felt that they should be doing something else what ever they were doing. That’s why they were not happy.

    To those students, my advice is: Get used to it and learn to make decisions for yourselves.

 

As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.

Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real? Follow Your Heart by Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream, the books says.

In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.

You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.
