专家对高考考生暑假安排提建议

After the intensive national college entrance examination (NCEE) between June 7 and 8, senior high graduates can finally relax and think about where and how to spend their summer vacation before starting college.

Huang Zishan, a student from the Binghai campus of Nanshan Foreign Language School, said she would first fill out the application form for her ideal universities, and then she is going to lose some weight and travel with her friends and family.

Guo Danyu, who sat the exam at Bao’an Middle School, said that she would learn Japanese, guitar and other skills that she didn’t have time for while in senior high school.

Wang Jingying, an approved career development instructor at the National Career Development Association (NCDA) and a director of Shenzhen Career Planning and Development Association, applauds the students for their thoughtful planning, saying, “Their thoughts are great. They should try more and make plans deliberately so that they can reach goals.”

Wang suggests that students should prepare for four aspects: living independently, studying independently, managing one’s own wealth and career planning.

Specifically, she suggests students start doing housework, learn how to deal with different people, and learn to dress properly. In addition to this, they could also get in touch with senior schoolmates who have already started universities and inquire about things related to choosing courses, switching majors, double majoring and getting scholarships grants.

Additionally, students need to know how to manage their wealth. For example, they could invest 10 percent of their living expenses into an automatic investment plan and save some money for their English and driving training classes.

At the same time, Wang warns students against campus network lending and suggests that they learn how to identify frauds like pyramid schemes.

Wang also advises students to pick up hobbies during their vacation, set goals, and take part in career prep opportunities such as internships and foreign exchange programs.
