On June 14, the Dragon Boat Festival, the students of the 4th class of chongqing Bashu Middle School received a special gift: Zhang Ruiyuan, who had been their class teacher for two years, wrote a letter to the class as a "comer" to help them plan a vacation of nearly three months.
Teacher Zhang used to teach the Chinese teacher of the class and served as the class teacher in the first and second years of high school, and entered the third year of high school, because of maternity leave, Teacher Zhang was separated from her classmates, but she still worried about the children in the class.
"After the end of the college entrance examination, after a few days of rest, some children stay at home all day and are a little confused, and some people talk to me about their summer vacation life", June 14, is the last day of Teacher Zhang's duty this semester, sitting in the office looking at the silent teaching building, she thought of the high school children who just graduated, there are many words to tell them, so she wrote a parting message, suggesting that they make good use of the rare "golden promotion period" of summer vacation.
Dear Parents and Children, Senior 4,
The college entrance examination is over, and after a few days of rest, children may gradually find that they have left the familiar classrooms and classrooms, and there is a lot of time every day, and it is a little confusing to stay at home all day. In fact, the long summer vacation of the third year of high school is a rare "golden promotion period", and children can make a difference. Here Teacher Zhang has some small suggestions for "people who come over", hoping that parents can accompany and supervise their children to do:
First, be sure to study English well during the holidays. English is the only subject that can be determined at present, no matter which major is chosen in the future, the university needs to take the fourth and sixth levels, and the entrance examination also needs to take the English test. The long vacation of nearly three months can be used efficiently, and improving english ability to a higher level and going to college can save a lot of time and energy. Not to mention that many universities (such as Tsinghua) will teach in layers based on English scores.
Second, children can seize the holiday time to exercise, the cultivation of talents with comprehensive strength in the new era needs to "enrich their spirit and savage their physique", and many universities have high requirements for sports. Students who are good at sports can fight for more opportunities for themselves. For example, my alma mater, Southwest University, will select nearly 40 science students to form the "Yuan Longping Class" and nearly 30 liberal arts students to form the "Wu Mi Class" among the freshmen, and these two classes initially took the results of English, physical education and other subjects as the assessment standard. In addition, children who can't swim must put learning to swim on the agenda, which is an important essential survival skill!
Third, if the child who has reached the age of 18 can start the driver's license study test, which is a must in modern society, there may be no way to take such a whole time to do it in the future, and the summer vacation is the best time.
Fourth, children can use the summer vacation to read a lot (read more classics and books they like and are interested in in the summer vacation); watch more meaningful movies (such as "Paradise Cinema", "Decisive Battle glacier", etc.); Watch more valuable classic documentaries (such as "General History of China" 100 episodes, "Looking for Craftsmanship", "Bird's Eye View of China", etc.). There are many good books, good movies, good documentaries, interested students can find me, I come to recommend to the children.
Fifth, all kinds of talents, it's time to pick them up! Such as piano, calligraphy, fine art, recitation, dancing, singing... Those hobbies that have been cultivated since childhood, those who have been delayed by the heavy academic work of junior high and high school, can all start to challenge this summer vacation! In this way, when you go to college, you will no longer be a student who will only study. The university has a variety of colorful activities that will provide you with a great stage, and these talents will also help you successfully run for the student union, join various clubs, various art troupes...
Sixth, "read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles", the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland and even the world, the birds and flowers of nature, the vicissitudes of mottled monuments... All waiting for the children to approach them. Years ago, I saw a passage: "When you are flipping through the book, alaskan cod is jumping out of the water; As you chant, the seagulls of the Pacific are skimming over the city; When you are thinking, the Aurora Borealis of Northern Europe is shining brightly; when you are working hard, you think that things you will never see in this life, people you can't meet, are coming to you..." So now, you have enough time to go out of your familiar hometown, to appreciate the beauty of nature, to appreciate the thickness of history, to understand the differences in regional styles, children, come to a trip that can be said and left!"
Finally, use the holidays to spend more time with your parents, visit relatives and friends you haven't seen for many years, and after college until work, you will have less and less time to go home. In addition, the cultivation of self-care ability is also very important, children can use the summer vacation, their own laundry, cleaning, dishwashing, cooking and other necessary life skills exercises, so that after college to start living, can be well adapted.
Dear children, the journey ahead is the sea of stars, before setting off, we must be fully prepared physically and mentally. Accompany a journey, read a lifetime, before leaving, Teacher Zhang has many words that he wants to tell everyone...
Thousands of days together, one day apart, look forward to the children flying higher and farther into the sky! Before that, as long as you can carefully plan and make reasonable use of time, you will definitely spend this summer vacation richly, fully and meaningfully!
Finally, I wish parents and children a safe and healthy Dragon Boat Festival!
