Making the leap from school to university
Getting into university is an important event for young people. While most students are
excited about it, they should also be aware of the difference between university and school.
At school, most of your learning is done in the classroom. Teachers give you regular
assignments and provide support and resources to help you complete them. Meanwhile, most of
your learning at university involves self-studying and project work that you need to plan and
complete by a certain date. It is your responsibility to review lecture notes, read textbooks, and do
research to find information in the library or online.
Your relationships at school are often limited to schoolmates or classmates. You interact
with them mostly in a school environment; therefore, your group of friends is small and very
familiar. By contrast, at university, you not only have more contacts, but you also meet people
from different backgrounds. Therefore, you need better social skills to deal with any conflict you
may come into when interacting with other people.
As a secondary school student, you also live with your parents who provide you with the
daily care and support you need. You don’t have to worry about things such as shopping or cooking
for yourself. You have your parents take care of your physical and mental well-being. Once you go
to university, you will probably move away from home and start to live independently. You need
to improve your life skills so that you can manage your own life.
Question 26: What is the text mainly about?
