同学们，今天是值得庆祝和感谢的一天，很快，你们就要启去海外留学，除了祝福，我还想问一句，为了你的梦想，你准备好了吗？

young men and young ladies, today is a day of celebration and a day of thanks. it marks the beginning of a new chapter in your life. soon, you will start your journey of studying abroad. apart from giving you my congratulations and best wishes, i’d like to ask you one question: are you ready for your dream?

接下来我想分享自己在英国留学的一段经历。wWW.YBaSK.Com当初因雅思只考了5分，我无法申请到研究生，只得被迫延长一年的语言学习，由此引发的是生活上的窘迫和无休止的打工。白天，餐厅服务员、清洁工、保姆等多个工作角色令我筋疲力尽，夜晚还要背单词。有段时间，我感到非常孤独和艰难。

to better adapt myself to the new conditions, every day i got up at five o’clock for a morning jog to keep fit and closed my last part-time job around 11 o’clock at night. i became highly self-disciplined and rescheduled my work and study. gradually, i regained my positive attitude and became healthier.

后来，回顾留学生涯，我懂得了生活的意义就是，积极行动，从当下开始。也正是这段艰难的岁月，让回国后已是34岁的我，在上海面临失业、生活拮据等种种挑战，都能积极应对、从容不迫。

looking back on that period of time, i’ve learned that whatever life puts you through, you can always choose joy and meaning by taking positive actions and starting from t
