Frm an early age, we were taught that if we wanted t be successful, we had t study hard and get gd results at schl. In fact, gd students may just end up ding jbs they dn’t like, and sme even lead an unhappy life. Why is it like that?
In sme parents’ eyes, schl grades matter mst fr their kids. In reality, there are many things t cnsider besides the schl subjects, fr example, hw t be a happy persn, what t d t keep healthy, and hw t get alng well with thers. That is t say, schl is nt just enugh if yu want t have a great life.
Ding well in schl is different frm ding well in life. Studies shw that peple wh failed at schl may nt end up failing in life. Yu may have already knwn that sme famus peple, like Thmas Edisn and Steve Jbs, didn’t d very well at schl r even failed t finish schl. In fact, there are a lt mre than just the big shts wh are successful in life withut finishing schl. They seize (抓住) every chance t learn and finally make it t the tp.
Life is really a lng lessn, s lng that yu can’t define (界定) a persn’s success by just ne sectin (部分) f it.

If yu are still studying, whether yu are gd r bad at schl, dn’t take yur schl results t seriusly as lng as yu have put yur heart int it. Keep learning t make the mst f yur talents (天赋). That’s hw yu can live a happy and successful life.

Befre arriving in China, I had read lts f bks abut China. S when I arrived, I was excited t be living in this huge histrically and culturally rich cuntry. It was s greatly different frm the UK. The fd, the landmarks，the big cities and everyday life----I culdn't wait t find mre.

But there is still a lng way t g befre I reach my gal f fluency(流利).Learning Chinese nt nly helps me in day-t-day life, but deepens my cultural understanding f such a great cuntry.
