59. ______
As Chinese students are not familiar with the place and people, and have no relatives by their sides, the first feeling they will feel is loneliness, which makes it especially important to learn to develop relationships with people around them. They may meet all kinds of fascinating people abroad. They should go out of their way to be friendly and strike up conversations. The most important thing is to pluck up enough courage to open your mouth and talk with others. Foreigners really like children of this kind and are willing to help them.
60. ______
Foreign children are used to learning by themselves in or after class, but Chinese children are used to teacher-centered education. Guided and supervised by parents and teachers, Chinese students don’t have much learning space. They may score high in exams, but they may lack independent learning skills and tend to be in a state of passive learning. So the most basic thing that children need to know is that studying abroad requires that they should adapt to overseas studies as soon as possible and try their best to learn actively and independently.

During the summer holidays, I thought I should do anything meaningful instead of touring. So I got a job at fast food restaurant and worked there for a cleaner. I worked 7 hours a day for three week. The job was hard and boring and seemed endless, it made me so tired that I nearly left it halfway. Therefore, I stuck to it with determination. Every day I start off for work early in the morning and got to home late in the evening. Finally, I finished the job before the new school term began. Now, I understand that labor means. I consider it a successful experience, which is worth remembered forever.

VI. 【参考范文】
（ 1 ）
I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only．As we all know, a good learning environment is vital if we want to study English well．Classes taught in English provide students with such an environment．When English is the only language used in the classroom, students will have more opportunities to listen and speak．Therefore, they will be able to learn more quickly．
The main reason for my choice is that English learning is not only about doing grammar exercise, but also it involves many aspects like listening and speaking. Once I attended an optional course “Public Speaking” aiming to improve students’ oral English, where both the teacher and the students were requested to speak English. If the course is given partly in Chinese, it might sound a bit ridiculous I think. So I favor the idea of using English only in an English class.

I prefer my English classes to be taught in both Chinese and English．In my opinion, learning English is a step-by-step process．As middle school students, we only have a small vocabulary．If the teacher can use some Chinese in an English class, we will understand the lesson better．
