寒假即將結(jié)束，學生們都對如何充分利用即將到來的學期感到不可避免的焦慮。對于想正確開啟新學期的你來說，這里有幾點建議。

1. Get back into the routine回到常規(guī)

There are many positive things about winter vacation， like more time to spend with your family and friends. But winter vacation is also a disrupting time for you， who can easily forget that you were ever in school at all. So we strongly suggest that you start making the necessary 3）readjustment to school life before the first day. There is no use 4）denying that school is coming， and getting prepared earlier can get you off to abetter start.

3） readjustment 【，ri：edzastment】n.再調(diào)整

4） deny 【dr'nal】 v.否認

First， we want you to start having more school- like hours. Even just a few days before school begins， bedtime should go back from 11：00p.m.to 10：00p.m.， for example， or whatever is 5lappropriate. 6Additionally， you should be waking up around the time you'd have to wake up for school and performing the normal routine： getting dressed， having breakfast， and so forth.

We also suggest that you limit“screen time"-whether it's a computer， the TV， or a phone--and make sure you are off at least an hour before bed. You can also shop for school supplies earlier rather than later. When you're trying to make the 7transition as easy as possible， and the activity 8primes you for eventual return to the classroom.

6） additionally 【a'dJenali】 adv.另外

7） transition 【traen'zlJn】 n.過渡

8） prime 【praim】 v.事先準備

9） tricky 【'trki】 adj.棘手的

寒假有很多積極意義上的事情，例如你會有更多的時間與親友相處。但是寒假也是一個混亂的時刻，你很容易忘記曾經(jīng)在學校上過課。因此，我們強烈建議你在開學前開始對學校生活進行必要的調(diào)整。否認即將開學是沒有用的，而早點做好準備可以讓你有一個更好的起點。

首先，我們希望你開始按上學時間調(diào)整作息。例如，在開學前幾天，就寢時間就應從晚上11：00恢復到10：00，或其他適當?shù)臅r間。此外，你應該按照上學的時間醒來并進行正常的流程：穿衣服、吃早餐等。

我們還建議你限制“屏幕時間”（無論是電腦、電視還是手機），并確保它們至少在睡覺前一個小時關閉。你也可以提早購買學習用品。當你試著把從假期生活到上學生活的過渡變得盡可能輕松時，這也會激起你回到教室的興趣。

2. Manage your time 管理好時間

The 9tricky part of coming back to school is that the first week or two are usually pretty exciting but slow weeks in terms of study， so it's easy to get caught up in a false sense of， “Oh， this is easy， and I can take on this， this， and that extracurricular." Then April comes along and you can think， "I have a lot of work in front of me and where amI going to find the time？" You may get overwhelmed and then they get further and further behind in your work， which makes you depressed and prone to lolprocrastinate. So it might be a good idea to wait on new activities for one or two weeks and leave enough time for adjustment.

9） tricky 【triki】 adj.棘手的

10） procrastinate 【preu'kraestnet】v.拖延

回到學校的棘手部分是，前一兩周通常很令人興奮，但學習進度卻比較緩慢，因此很容易陷入錯誤的感覺：“哦，這很容易，我可以參加這個、那個和那個課外活動?！比缓?，四月到了，你可能會想：“我面前有很多要做的事，我該從哪兒擠時間？”這些讓你不知所措，然后越來越落后，這使你感到沮喪并容易拖延。因此，最好開學后過一兩周再進行新的活動，并留出足夠的時間進行調(diào)整。

3. Dontignore problems 不要忽略問題

To flog this point one more time： Many schools are fantastic， with talented and caring teachers and administrators. But you can't expect school to have insight into your problems. That's why we'd like you to be more proactive. If you are struggling with problems， it's better to say something sooner rather than later.

重申一次，很多學校都很棒，有很多有才華和愛心的老師及行政人員。但是，你不能指望學校洞悉你的全部問題。這就是為什么我們希望你能更加主動。如果你有問題，最好早點說，不要積壓在心里。
