Halfway Through
November came, and the first half of senior one was over. Sitting on the playground after school, Li Lei looked up at the sky and sighed. 'Half a term has passed, and I have changed a lot,' he said. 'Actually, I used to be nervous about everything, but now I feel much calmer.' Jack laughed. 'Absolutely! Remember our first English speech? My legs were shaking so hard that I could hardly stand.'
十一月到了，高一上学期已经过半。放学后坐在操场上，李雷抬头望着天空叹了口气。“半个学期过去了，我变了很多，”他说，“其实，我以前什么事都紧张，现在平静多了。”杰克笑了。“绝对是啊！还记得我们的第一次英语演讲吗？我的腿抖得几乎站不住。”
The first months had been a real challenge for all of them. There was so much homework that they often stayed up late, and the pressure of exams made them anxious. Li Lei admitted that he had almost given up twice. Then he learned to manage his time: he made a schedule, set small goals and built regular study habits. 'The secret is not to work harder, but to work smarter,' he said, which made everyone nod.
最初的几个月对所有人来说都是真正的挑战。作业多得常常熬夜，考试的压力让他们焦虑。李雷承认自己几乎放弃过两次。后来他学会了管理时间：制定时间表，设定小目标，养成规律的学习习惯。“秘诀不是更努力地学习，而是更聪明地学习，”他说，大家都点头赞同。
Cozy, their teacher, also helped them look after their mental health. 'Your mind is like a garden,' he told the class. 'If you do not relax, it cannot grow. Take time for leisure, go for a walk, listen to music, and do not forget to breathe.' Following his advice, the four friends started running together every Tuesday evening. Sweating on the track, they forgot their worries and found a strange kind of freedom.
老师 Cozy 也帮助他们关注心理健康。“你的头脑就像一座花园，”他对全班说，“如果你不放松，它就无法生长。留出休闲的时间，去散散步，听听音乐，别忘了深呼吸。”遵循他的建议，四个朋友每周二晚上一起跑步。在跑道上挥汗如雨时，他们忘掉了烦恼，找到了一种奇妙的自由感。
When the mid-term results came out, the four friends were all surprised and grateful. Their scores had improved greatly, especially in English and maths. 'I want to thank everyone who supported me,' Han Mei said quietly. 'And I want to thank myself, too, for not giving up.' Li Lei smiled and added, 'Growing up means learning to take responsibility for your own life. That is what this half term has taught me.'
期中成绩公布时，四个朋友都又惊又喜。他们的成绩大幅提高，尤其是英语和数学。“我要感谢每一个支持过我的人，”韩梅轻声说，“我也要感谢自己，没有放弃。”李雷笑着说：“长大，意味着学会为自己的人生承担责任。这就是这半个学期教会我的。
As the sun went down, the four friends stood up and stretched. 'We still have a long way to go,' Jack said, 'but I am not afraid anymore.' Lily nodded. 'The second half is a new opportunity. Let us keep a steady pace and enjoy every day.' They walked towards the bright classroom building together, their shadows long on the playground, their steps light and full of hope for the days ahead.
太阳落山时，四个朋友站起来伸了个懒腰。“我们还有很长的路要走，”杰克说，“但我不再害怕了。”莉莉点点头。“下学期是新的机会。让我们保持平稳的步伐，享受每一天。”他们一起走向灯火通明的教学楼，影子在操场上拉得很长，脚步轻快，满怀着对未来的希望。
