河北经贸大学继续教育学院适应大学生活 英语情景对话

L:Later,Why are you so down?What’s wrong with you?

X:Nothing,

I

just

feel

a

little

stressful

about

the

coming

exams

and

competitions. My time was occupied by unfinishing missions all the

time. Since I came to the university,I cannot get used to the kind of

freedom

here.

L:You mean nobody is going to wake us

up in the morning or force

us to attend lectures any more like senior school. Right?

X:Part of it, It’s so different from my former sense of inferiorit

comes to me many times since I could make good performances as

you

and

the

others

always

do.

I

mean

you

are

so

energetic

and

handle

everything

so

well.

It

seems

that

I

am

a

little

stupid

and

clumsy.

L:Oh that’s actually not true,you are too negative. Look, you are good

with logic and like to find the answers to problems using reasons.

Obviously, you are really number smart and nature smart. Y

ou have

your own special merit. The problem is not about your intelligence

but your thinking styles. You must change your attutide towards life

right now.

X:Really? Could you tell me

what kind of thinking styles do you use

most?Or could you share some of your learning skills with me?

L:Sure,

the

moment

when

you

came

to

the

university,you

should

realize

that you learning is your own responsibility and you

have

to

organize

your

time

well.

And

never

forget

to

think

for

yourself.

X:Think for yourself? What does it mean?

L:It means thinking of something on your own without being affected

by other people. That is, thinking independently. The most difficult

thing is to avoid others’ influence because we live in many circles

and many people will inculcate their ideas to us.

X:Yep, for example, we are asked to work out a difficult question by

math teacher and we work hard but it doesn’t work. At this moment,

many people will turn to their classmates or parents. Few students

will

insist

on

thinking

for

themselves

although

they

know

that

thinking for themselves can help them make progress and develop

the habit of thinking independently.

L:Good example.

We always lack of strong mind so we tend to turn to

others when we face r more, do you know what

kind of learning style you are?

X:Not exactly. But as you mentioned, I think I can learn best

from

new experiences,genertating ideas and trying things I think

group work and discussions suit me better than passive activities.

L:So your are actually an activist. Don’t waste your talent. Try to be

more inpendent and confident.

X:Yes, so in conclusion, studying independently is so important that
