U1How to Adapt to College Life Quickly When you first enter your college, you will find that differences between high school life and college life are great. In high school, we always depended on our parents and teachers to solve all kinds of difficult problems. At college, however, we have to rely exclusively on ourselves. What's more, we have to learn how to get along with our classmates and roommates. Almost every college freshman experiences some level of nervousness and anxiety. But don’t worry, here are some tips to help you adapt to college life as quickly as possible.  1. Remember you are not alone. Everyone in your dorm is in the same situation as you. Talk to them about your own fears and anxieties.  Chances are, they are feeling the same way and will be glad to have someone to talk to about it. 2. Step outside of your dorm. The beauty of college is that you can start over with new people.  They don't know your past; they will only know what you want them to know about you.  For this reason, try new things and don't be afraid to try on new personalities. This is a great time to figure out not only who you are, but also who you want to be. 3. Make detailed study plans. They should include your short-term goals, what books to read at a certain stage, what extra curriculum activities to participate in and your daily activities. This will help you make full use of your spare time. 4. Don't forget to enjoy it! College is about having fun and making new friends as well as learning new things.  Living in a dorm is a great way to do so. You will have friends to hang out with and study partners for finals. Do crazy things, take pictures, share funny stories---enjoy yourself.  You are only young onceRemember that your friends and parents are just a phone call away and that every person's adjustment period is different.  Take your time and above all, learn things.  (345 words)U2About Myself Hi, everyone! Welcome to my blog. Let me make a short introduction to myself. I’m a boy aged 18. I come from a small village in South China. Though it is small, it is very beautiful. It lies by a small river. The air is fresh and the water is so clear that you can see lots of fish swimming in the river. There’re many rice fields around. So it is known as the “land of rice and fish”. Now, I’m studying computer science at South China Vocational College. I wish to become a computer engineer after graduation. I like my college life. It’s so different from life in the high school. After class you are all on your own. There’s nobody to tell you what to do. So you need to plan your time well so that you don’t waste it. All my classmates study hard, for we know that “Time and tide wait for no man”. We must make good use of the time to learn more. I have an active attitude towards life. There are many things I’d like to do, to see, and to experience. I like to read; I like to write. I like to think; I like to dream. I like flowers in spring, rain in summer, leaves in autumn, and snow in winter. I like the skyscrapers in big cities; I like the green fields in the country. I like good books and romantic movies. I like delicious food and comfortable shoes…But I spend most of my spare time surfing the Internet to search for useful information. I also spend time writing and updating my blog. It’s like my second home, my dreamland. This is me, Liu Ming. Thanks very much for visiting my blog! Your remarks will be most welcome!

This process is usually comprised of four steps: analysis, exploration, selection, and actionThe first step is to conduct a detailed self analysis. Not only will you have to consider your interests and skills, you'll also have to think about your personality and values. Besides, find out what you’re really good at by asking family and friends, and remember to take your preferred work environments and development needs into consideration. Once self analysis is complete, it's time to start exploring the career options that interest you the most. Would you rather be an engineer or a businessman? Are middle school teachers paid more than salesmen? What’s the difference between a software engineer and a software developer? Research the occupations and industries you’d like to work in and try to speak to people with professional experience in those fields.The career action plan lists all the steps you will need to take to reach them, for example, investigating sources of required training and education; writing your resume; gathering company information; preparing for job interviews, etc. (316 words)U4How to Answer Questions in an Interview An interview is a question-and-answer process.
