高中提示
采访者:大家好,欢迎来到学校访谈。今天和我一起主持节目的是我们学校之前的一个学生,莉莎·奥斯本。莉莎去年六月从我们学校毕业,即将去纽约上大学。莉莎,谢谢你来和我们分享你的高中建议。
莉莎:嗨,大家好,我很高兴回来。我觉得高中就像昨天一样!
采访者:你刚上高中的时候,什么对你有帮助?
莉莎:迎新日真的很有帮助。对于新生来说,这是一个了解学校和其他学生的绝佳机会。我甚至交了一些新朋友! 只要保持开放的心态,尽可能多地参与。
采访者:这绝对是个好建议。但是你是如何应对新的挑战的,比如开始一门新的课程?
莉莎:我第一个周末就有化学测验。我一看到试卷就害怕了。但后来我想我最好还是全力以赴,看看会发生什么。如果你失败了,没关系——下次你(即使失败也)会有所进步。
采访者:那么,昂起你的头吧。但生活并不总是一帆风顺。你一定有过失望的时候。如果是这样的话,你是怎么对付它们的?
莉莎:作为学校排球队的一员,我没有被选入年终比赛。起初,我真的很伤心,但后来我意识到我加入这个队是因为热爱这项运动。这不仅仅是为了胜利。所以在训练期间我一直努力支持我的队友。总有办法使你参与热爱的事情,不是吗?
采访者:是的,我完全同意。你还有什么特别想和我们分享的吗?
莉莎:回顾我的高中生活,我给你们的最重要的建议是作家玛雅·安杰洛写的这些精彩的话。她说:“试着做别人云里的彩虹。”所以,当你的朋友需要帮助的时候,拉他们一把。这也会让你感觉很好。
采访者:太棒了!莉莎,再次感谢你来和我们分享。祝你大学生活一帆风顺! 莉莎:谢谢你。
