Advice to Freshman

    

High school is a wonderful place for you to broaden your horizon of knowledge and gain various experience of activities. If you can make good use of the study time during high school, you may gain lots of valuable things during the three years. If you don’t, you might just get the diploma and learn nothing. If you want to learn well in your high school life, here are some advice for you. They are joining a student club, reading books widely and taking part in  the activities you are interested in.
      Joining a club can help you develop social skills  and how to get along with others. You not only learn what you want to learn, but also develop a great friendship in clubs. That may help you learn how  to teamwork with others in the future. 
      The second one is reading more books, like novels, science fictions, poetry and so on, not textbooks. Because textbooks give you limited knowledge, you have to read more for further aspects. By doing so, you will not only know the background knowledge of the contents talked about in the textbooks, but also have a broad view of things. Reading also improves your attitude toward viewinng things.  By knowing many things from books, you may develop the value you believe in and critical thinking
skills. Consequentl, you will have a capability of independent thinking and become a person who never blindly  follows others’ opinions to make a decision. 
     The last advice is joining activities you are interested in. Whether the activities are held in school or not, it is a good way of learning and adding experience to attend to activities. For example, I had joined a contest of English speech when I was in tenth grade. Although I didn’t get any prize from it, I learned how to prepare a speech and try to give a speech before lots of people. The contest experience made me more interested  in English, too.
     Doing your best to try everything in your high school life is the best way to know what you really want in your future, but I have some advice for you to help you learn more in your high school life. Joining the clubs, reading more books except for the textbooks and attending many activities you’re interested in are ways to make your high school life colorful.
