①When it comes to Chinese students thinking about studying in foreign countries, many of them usually believe that life will be easy and enjoyable. Unluckily, it seems that students with those beliefs will be disappointed very soon after landing at the airport.

    ②So, what are the problems you may have, and how can you deal with them?

    ③Teaching and learning styles in America are very different from those in China, in need of more critical thinking（批判性思维）and teamwork. In most American classrooms, they do activities in a study group in which every person has their own responsibility(责任).

    ④So don't worry about your language or any grammar mistakes. Just watch what other students do, and don't be afraid to ask any questions. The discussions, or sometimes even arguments, that your group members and you hold, are probably to be the beginning of a friendship.

    ⑤Besides schoolwork, another important thing faced by overseas students is homesickness or loneliness. You may miss your parents cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. Being away from home can create bad feelings, especially when faced with the problems of getting used to a new environment.

    ⑥What I strongly suggest is to try hard to deal with these feelings. Be open to new friend-ships. Be active in school activities, and allow yourself to enjoy life at school, even if you miss home a lot. Keep a diary to check your progress. Write down three new things that you're thankful for every evening, as well as three things you're looking forward to every morning.

    ⑦Studying aboard is never simple. In fact, there will be many difficulties every day. But I'm sure you will overcome your difficulties and make your time overseas a success.

    Disney's princess stories are famous around the world. You must know some of them, such as Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.

    All princesses are very beautiful. Princes fall in love with them at first sight. In the end, the princess and prince have a happy life together.

    However, princesses often cannot protect themselves. They need help from others. This is the old image of Disney's princesses.

    A few weeks ago, Disney made 10 new rules. To be a princess, you must follow these rules. Surprisingly, no rule talks about having a "pretty face". Instead the rules are about good characteristics like honesty, loyalty and never giving up.

    Princesses need to grow up. When they meet problems, they need to protect themselves. They need to find ways to get away from dangerous people.

    For example, Elsa and Anna fight against the bad prince in Frozen. They need to believe in themselves and their friends. Mulan shows her courage to fight in the army. "Beauty" cannot help them. But a strong heart can. In the real world, these are the rules you need to follow.

    In 2014, Buzzfeed, a US news website, did a survey called "which Disney princess do you like most?". As it turned out, the most popular one was Belle ！More than 18 per cent of people chose her. Belie is in the movie Beauty and the Beast. She is very kind and gentle. She takes care of the Beast and uses her clever mind to get out of trouble.

What is the most convenient (方便的) way to travel around China? By train, of course. There are some ways to buy train tickets. You can buy tickets at a train station or a train office, and you can also book online with a travel app, or at China Railway's official website. You can even book by your telephone. 

Though most ticket windows at the train station serve 24 hours every day, the trouble is that you may stand in long lines. So make sure you arrive at the station at least one hour before the train leaves. And what is the easiest way to buy a ticket? Using your phone! It's simple to add the common user information in 12306 and fill in the full name following your passport. After finishing this step, 12306 will show that you have successfully registered (注册) and then you can book your tickets.

We all know June 1st is Children's Day. But it is the World Milk Day, too. People in other(其他的) countries started to drink milk about 8,000 years ago. And in China people started to drink it about 1000 years ago. Why do people drink milk? Let's know more about it. 

Milk is great, because it has a lot of calcium(钙). Calcium can help us grow taller and calcium is good for our teeth and bones. So we should all get into the habit of drinking milk. Then when should we drink milk? Breakfast is very important for a day's study and work. It's good to drink a cup of milk for breakfast in the morning. A cup of warm milk helps us have a good sleep. So drinking some milk in the evening is good, too. Adults(成人) need to drink as much as 300ml of milk, and children need to drink 500ml of milk every day. How much milk do you drink every day? Health always comes first in our life, so, let's drink milk every day!

In ancient (古代的) China, people have three names: their family names. given names, and courtesy names(字).

Take the famous poet Li Bai as an example. His family name is Li, his given name is Bai, and his courtesy name is Taibai.

People use their given names when they are with their family or friends. And your elders like your grandparents and parents call your given name at home. But in the workplace, people use their courtesy names.

Men usually get their courtesy names when they are 20 years old. Women usually get their courtesy names after they get married(结婚) .

People's courtesy names have something to do with their given names. For example, Zhuge Liang's given name is Liang. It means "bright". His courtesy name is Kongming. And the meaning is "very bright".
