Dear students,
亲爱的同学们：
The winter vacation is coming. Here, I’d like to give you some reminders, hoping that you can have a fulfilling and safe holiday.
寒假将至，在此我想跟大家叮嘱一下，希望大家度过一个充实又安全的假期。
一、Balance between Life and Study
一、生活与学习的平衡
During the winter vacation, it’s an excellent time for rest and relaxation. However, you shouldn’t abandon study completely. You should plan your time reasonably, make sure to combine work and rest, engage in activities you like moderately to relax yourselves, and work out a simple and clear study plan for reviewing old knowledge and previewing new content.
寒假期间，是进行休息与放松的绝佳时刻，然而，亦不应完全放弃学习。各位应当合理规划时间，确保工作与休息相结合，适度从事个人喜好的活动以达到放松身心的目的，并制定出简洁明了的学习计划，以便复习旧知识和预习新内容。
