Li Ming starts his new semester at university, faces challenges in his major, and learns the importance of hard work and active learning.
新学期
新学期的第一天,李明背着书包走进大学校门。他对这所大学充满期待,因为这是他梦寐以求的地方。他学的专业是计算机科学,这个专业在学院里很热门。
第一周,李明发现课程安排非常紧凑。每天都有必修课,比如高等数学和编程基础。这些必修课很难,但他知道必须认真学。除了必修课,他还选了选修课,比如人工智能入门。学院的老师很严格,但讲课很有趣。
一个月后,李明在专业课上遇到困难。他去找教授,教授说:“大学的学习需要主动。你要多花时间在必修课上,也要探索其他课程。”李明听了,开始调整学习方法。他每天复习必修课,还去图书馆看专业书。他的学院里有个学习小组,大家互相帮助,讨论课程内容。
学期末,李明的成绩提高了。他明白大学不仅是学专业,更是成长。他感谢学院的老师,也感谢自己选的课程。最后,他决定下学期多选几门必修课,让自己更扎实。这所大学教会了他:努力永远不会白费。

New semester
On the first day of the new semester, Li Ming walked into the university gate with his backpack. He was full of expectations for this university because it was his dream school. His major was computer science, which was very popular in the college.
In the first week, Li Ming found the course schedule very tight. Every day there were required courses, such as advanced mathematics and programming basics. These required courses were difficult, but he knew he had to study hard. Besides required courses, he also chose elective courses, such as introduction to artificial intelligence. The college teachers were strict, but their lectures were interesting.
One month later, Li Ming encountered difficulties in his major courses. He went to see the professor, who said: ‘University learning requires initiative. You need to spend more time on required courses and also explore other courses. ‘ Li Ming listened and began to adjust his study methods. He reviewed required courses every day and also went to the library to read professional books. There was a study group in his college where everyone helped each other and discussed course content.
At the end of the semester, Li Ming’s grades improved. He understood that university is not only about studying a major, but also about growing up. He thanked the college teachers and also thanked himself for choosing the courses. Finally, he decided to take more required courses next semester to make himself more solid. This university taught him: hard work never goes to waste.
