The first thing you should do after picking the country you want to study in is to make a list of universities, including a dream school (a school you may not get into, but is at the top of your list), a safety school (a school you can definitely get into), and several schools in between. Look at the websites of those universities and you will get a complete list of everything you need for your applications.

The most important in any application will be your test scores, so pick a time as early as possible to take an exam preparation course.

If you are in a lecture hall with a teacher telling jokes, you are probably just wasting your time. As a reference point(参照标准), US students who attend top universities spend between 500 to 1,000 hours studying for the SAT, so probably you should do more.

You are also going to need to think about how to tell a story about yourself. Chinese students are well-known for being very hardworking, but also for sometimes short of creativity(创造力).

You need to show the university that you are excellent because of your own personality, not because your parents have forced you to be excellent.

Are you interested in sports? Make sure to play on your school’s team. Universities want to see that you have interests of your own and can show initiative(主动性).

Finally, find an agent(代理人) to help you finish the application. You will need this help, but be as cautious as you can. Some agents will try their best to help students achieve their dreams but there are also ones who care more about the fees paid by students.

In the UK, friends have sleepovers very often. Some have them once every weekend or just once every month. When you want to have a sleepover with your friends, your parents can call or text your friends’ parents to ask about a suitable date. Then, you have to arrange(安排) whose house you'll stay at — your own or your friends’ house. The last step is to finish your homework before you get together with your friends so you can enjoy your time together.

But there is one problem: What if the parents don't want so many children to be in the house all day? Well, parents can find somewhere to take the children. It could be a park, a swimming pool, a theater or just somewhere down the road.

There are many fun games you can play with your friends at a sleepover. You can have a water fight in the garden. You can play hide-and-seek in the house.

Make better plans

If you start to do something, you need to make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last. You’ll also know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. If changes happen, you can have more time to deal with them.

Live a more active life

You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed and active. You also need to be kind. “Thank you”can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say“sorry”and don’t be angry with others.

Find the right friend

A friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well. So you have to think twice when you choose a friend. Good friends will always better your ideas.

When you get into trouble, ask friends for help. That little help may get you good results.

Never fear failure

Everybody fails. Even the greatest person failed. We should not fear failure, because failure is not the end of the road. We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves.

Life is good. We don’t have to live in our past, but we do hope that we can plan better, live better, and work better when we have the chance to do so.
