High School Hints①
Interviewer：Hello and welcome to School Talk! Today I'm joined by a former student of our school, Lisa Osborne.Lisa graduated② from our school last June and is about to③ go to college in New York.Lisa, thank you for coming to share your suggestions for high school with us.
Lisa：Hi, everybody.I'm very glad to be back.I feel as if high school was only yesterday!
Interviewer：So what helped when you first started high school?
Lisa：Orientation Day④ was really helpful.It's a fantastic⑤ opportunity⑥ for new students to get to know the school and the other students.I even made some new friends! Just keep an open mind⑦ and take part in as much as possible.
Interviewer：That's sound advice for sure.But how did you deal with⑧ new challenges, like starting a new course⑨？
Lisa：I had a chemistry test right at the end of the first week.I was frightened⑩ at the sight? of the test paper.But then I figured? I'd better just go all out? and see what happens.If you fail, no problem — next time you can fail better!
Interviewer：So, hold your head up?， then.But life is not always easy.You must had some moments when you were disappointed.If so, how did you deal with them?
Lisa：As a member of the school volleyball team, I wasn't selected? for the endofyear competition?.At first I was really sad, but later I realized that I joined the team for the love of the sport.It wasn't just about winning.So I kept working hard to support my teammates during our training.There's always a way to be part of something you love, isn't there?
Interviewer：Yes, I totally? agree.Is there anything else in particular? that like to share with us?
Lisa：Looking back on my high school life, the most important advice I'd give is these wonderful words from the writer Maya Angelou.She said, “Be a rainbow? in somebody else's cloud.”So, give your friends a hand? when they need it.And this will make you feel good, too.
Interviewer：Neat！ Well, thanks again for coming to speak to us, Lisa.And good luck with college!
Lisa：Thank you.
