A

The U has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities

and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, sometimes it can be

confusing.

October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities have

something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new

friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life.

However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospect

of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking (令人头痛的). Where do you

start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?

Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about

starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don’t rush

into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years.

Here is some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week

●Learn rules. Make sure you know British social etiquette (礼节). Have a few wine

glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.

●Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in

making friends.

●Be sociable. The more active you are, the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than

those who never leave their room. ●Bring a doorstop. eep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages

to your neighbors that you’re friendly.

So with a bit of clever planning and effort, Freshers’ Week can give you a great start to

your university life and soon you’ll be passing on your experience to next year’s new

recruits．

ieron Williamson The Art World’s Youngest Star

Many parents display their children’s artwork on the refrigerator, but ieron

Williamson’s paintings have been on display in professional galleries since he was 6 years

old.

ieron’s artwork, though, extends far beyond child-like stick figures or finger painting.

In fact, the child from Norfolk, England, has been called “the boy who paints like an old

master.”

According to his parents, ieron was a typical toddler who like finding bugs and playing

in the mud. But on a 2008 family vacation to the beach, the 5-year-old was inspired by the

boats and scenery and asked his parents for a sketch pad. His initial drawings could have

been done by any young child, but after the family returned home, ieron continued drawing and began to display a gift for art.

When he started asking about the process of putting a painting together, his parents

realized he needed professional instruction. Soon after, he began taking lessons, and his

progress amazed everyone as the young boy produced impressive landscapes and

watercolors.

In 2009, when the 6-year-old had a chance to exhibit his work in a gallery, he sold 19

paintings for 14,000 pounds, becoming famous overnight. From then on, he was surrounded

by buyers from France, Japan, Greece and other countries. The young artist held another

exhibit three months after the first one and sold 16 paintings for over 17,000 pounds,

followed by a third sale, earning 150,000 pounds. For the fourth exhibit, ieron took the day

off from school but ended up returning to school early. His entire collection had sold out in

10 minutes to collectors from around the world. Now he has a waiting list of more than 5,000
