In the summer of college, the excitement is no longer there, and the silence is pervasive. But in the corner of the campus, the college students who stayed on campus did not stop forging ahead. Employment promotion, preparation for competitions, putting into practice, public entrance examinations...... They choose to stay in school and "recharge" themselves in various ways. They regard the summer vacation as a golden opportunity, race against time to enrich themselves, and inadvertently let the flower of growth bloom quietly with the persistence and hard work of others day after day.
The doors of the library are still open, and the seats inside are no longer hard to find, but those who stick to it are focused on the ocean of knowledge. They are either flipping through thick professional books or carefully recording their thoughts in their notebooks. The first rays of sunshine in the morning and the stars at night accompany them through one day after another to fight for their dreams.
In the classroom, there are also many students who are immersed in hard study. They are fully prepared for various exams and continue to accumulate strength for the dreams in their hearts. In the laboratory, the sound of the operation of the instrument and the attentive discussion of the students are intertwined, and they are brave enough to explore on the road of scientific research, not afraid of difficulties......
Seize the time and work hard for your dreams
As they enter their senior year, many students have a clear graduation plan, and they seize the summer vacation to prepare for the graduate school entrance examination, the examination or the public examination according to their own choice.
Li Lewen, a student from the preschool education class 215 of Lanzhou City College, is one of the army that stayed in school, and she chose to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination in the summer. "Since my chosen major is related to dance, I need to take not only theoretical classes, but also dance practice. Every morning, I will do basic skills training, skills and skills learning, and then I will study English, and in the afternoon, I will memorize professional classes and train the corresponding past papers. In the evening, I usually conduct English reading comprehension training, summarize and review the knowledge points and deficiencies of the day, and adjust the study plan for the next day in time. Li Lewen has a full schedule of her daily schedule.
Summer vacation is a great time to relax and unwind, but it's also a crucial time to develop good habits. "During the summer, I learned to manage my time efficiently, and I was able to make sure that every study task was completed by making a detailed study plan, which made my daily study much easier. At the same time, we have obtained richer learning resources and more efficient learning methods through mutual communication with our classmates, and we encourage each other to make progress together. Li Lewen said.
Fan Xing, a prospective senior, aims to take the public examination. During the summer vacation, she chose to stay in school to prepare for the 2025 national civil service exam.
"My quantitative relationship and data analysis foundation are weak, and I will make up for it this holiday to consolidate and improve my problem-solving speed and accuracy." Fan Xing said firmly. She is well aware of her shortcomings and clearly plans the way forward.
Every morning, when the first rays of sunlight shine on campus, she sits in the corner of the library and flips through the heavy examination materials. The Chinese language and literature major has given her profound writing skills, but the knowledge system of the entrance examination is much larger and more complex. She must not only be familiar with various policies and regulations, but also master the skills of logical reasoning, quantitative relations and other types of problem solving. In the face of a large number of knowledge points, Fan Xing did not flinch at all, but methodically formulated a study plan, and "stumbled" with those boring theories and complex topics.
Devote yourself to practice and improve yourself
The summer vacation has just come, and Zhang Huimin, a student majoring in veterinary medicine from Gansu Agricultural University, has made fulfilling arrangements for her vacation. For Zhang Huimin, this summer vacation is not only a time of rest and relaxation, but also a precious opportunity to improve her professional ability.
