Features: A new semester has begun. For convenience, Dingding didn’t bring his tuition fee to school but sent it through the post office. On this day, he withdrew the money and deposited it into the bank. Unfortunately, soon after the semester started, Dingding fell ill and was taken to the hospital by his classmates. After recovering, he began to think about how to stay healthy. When discussing this with his classmates, he found it was a common concern for everyone. Dingding had already gained some understanding of university life and was no longer satisfied staying on campus. At this point, he thought of one of his uncles who lived in Beijing, so he called him and planned to visit him over the weekend. He checked the weather and learned it would rain, so he decided to take the subway. However, he couldn’t find the subway station and had to ask for directions. After some trouble, he finally found his uncle’s house. As a guest at his uncle’s, Dingding felt very happy. The moment he left campus, Dingding noticed that Beijing’s traffic and environment still needed improvement. This spring, first-year students underwent military training, and Dingding and his classmates had a lot to reflect on.
