Hi, everyone! I'm Dylan. Welcome to my channel. My younger brother is just starting high school, and he is super nervous about it. Maybe you are a freshman too, and feel the same way. So, I'm going to give you guys five tips to help you survive high school.
嗨，大家好!我是 Dylan。歡迎收看我的頻道。我弟剛剛上高中，對此他感到非常緊張。也許你也是新鮮人而有同感。因此，我要提供大家五個小祕訣，幫助你們安心度過高中生涯。
1. Be willing to LEARN.
1. 樂意學習。
Let's face it. High school means a lot of assignments. You'd better take your studies seriously. But grades are not everything. There are other "lessons" to learn, such as time management, creative thinking, and the ability to solve problems. These skills will help you get through school and the real world in the future.
我們面對現實吧。高中意味著很多作業。你最好認真看待課業。但是成績不是一切。還有其他要學習的「課程」，例如時間管理、創造性思維和解決問題的能力。這些技能將幫助你順利度過求學階段以及未來的真實世界。
2. Stay healthy and happy.
2. 保持快樂和健康。
Try to exercise for 30 minutes a day and get 8 hours of sleep every night. These good habits will give you a clearer mind. Also, keep a little time for your hobbies, like movies or online games, though you will be busy. Don't let homework, tests and all your school activities burn you out.
盡可能每天運動 30 分鐘，每晚睡足 8 個小時。這些良好的習慣會讓你頭腦更加清晰。還有，儘管你會很忙，但保留一點時間來做你最喜歡的事情，例如電影或線上遊戲。不要讓功課、考試和所有學校活動把你累垮。
3. Meet more people by joining a school club.
3. 加入學校社團，結識更多人。
A school club is a good place to meet new people. You may even become lifelong friends—I met my best friends in the basketball club. If you are shy, try your best to start conversations with people. You might feel uncomfortable, but it's worth the effort.
學校社團是認識新朋友的好地方。你們甚至可能會成為一輩子的朋友－－我就是在籃球社認識了我最好的朋友。如果你很害羞，請盡力與他人開啟對話。你可能會感到不自在，但值得努力。
4. Ask for help.
4. 請求協助。
This is really important. If someone bullies you, talk to your parents and teachers about it right away. We all have the right to feel safe. Adults can help you if you have a bullying problem.
這真的很重要。如果有人霸凌你，請立即與你的父母和老師談談。我們所有人都有感到安心的權利。如果你有霸凌問題，大人可以幫助你。
5. NEVER Give Up.
5. 永不放棄。
High school life can be hard. Losing a big game, failing an important test, having a fight with friends or parents—everyone makes mistakes, but we can always learn something from them. When you feel sad and alone, try to give yourself more time and space. And don't give up. Just rest for a while and try again.
高中生活可能很艱難。輸掉關鍵比賽、搞砸重要的考試，和朋友或父母吵架等等－－每個人都會犯錯，但我們總是能從中學習到東西。當你感到悲傷孤獨，試著多給自己一點時間和空間。別放棄。休息一會兒然後再接再厲。
Nobody can see the future, but everyone has the chance to have a good one. Just start believing in yourself, and you'll be fine. Thank you for visiting my channel and see you again soon.
