很多人都會經歷從小學到高中，甚至到大學的學習歷程。尤其是由中學生到大學生的角色轉變是人生中所面臨的重要挑戰。在大學里除了要努力完成學業之外，還要學會很多事情，以便適應未來的生存需要。本文作者是一名大學生，她在上大學時有什么變化呢？

I am a college student now.Sometimes,I try to recall(回想起)my high school life.I have changed a lot since I graduated.

In high school I was always busy studying hard.I had to try my best to get into a prestigious college—a college that many people know.I didn't have much time to do other things.

Since I went to college,I have become much more outgoing.I get a lot of chances to join clubs and activities.And I have made a lot of friends.There are lots of things I can do.And I feel very excited to go to college.Of course,I still work hard.I will keep working hard on my study until I graduate from college.

I feel like I've grown up.I know how to deal with people in a better way.I can get on well with my classmates and don't make them feel bad about me.I learn to take responsibilities(責任)for my behaviors.In this way,I make fewer mistakes.I get to know much more about myself.I know the things I want to know and try my best to be happy.The chances are great and I feel satisfied with them.

In college,I have met more people.They have helped me a lot.I also learn to deal with different situations.I think these will help a lot with my life in the future.

◆語塊收藏

1.recall one's high school life回想起某人的高中生活

2.be always busy doing sth.總是忙于做某事

3.get into a prestigious college進入一所有名望的大學

4.become much more outgoing變得更加外向

5.help a lot with one's life in the future對某人將來的生活有很大的幫助

◆典句賞析

1.There are lots of things I can do.有很多事情我可以做。

這是一個主從復合句，其中的句子I can do是省略了關系代詞that的定語從句，修飾先行詞things；lots of意思是“許多的”，相當于a lot of。

2.I will keep working hard on my study until I graduate from college.我將繼續努力學習直到大學畢業。

(1)until作為連詞，引導時間狀語從句，可譯為“到……為止”。用于肯定句中，表示主句的動作一直持續到從句動作發生或狀態出現時為止。在這種用法中，主句的謂語動詞必須是持續性動詞（非瞬間性動詞），如live,wait,last,love,like,stay,work,continue等。until用于否定句中，表示主句的動作在從句的動作發生之前尚未發生，或者說主句的動作在從句的動作發生之后才開始。一般可譯為“直到……才”。在這種用法中，主句謂語動詞必須是短暫性動詞（瞬間性動詞）。

(2)keep doing...on...結構，意思是“在……方面繼續做”。

3.I know how to deal with people in a better way.我知道如何更好地與人打交道。

這是一個簡單句。how to deal with people in a better way是“疑問詞+動詞不定式短語”結構，在句中作動詞know的賓語；deal with是固定詞組搭配，意思是“對付；處理”，后面接名詞、代詞或者動名詞等。
