想回校了？再坚持一下，才有隔离的意义！

Why begin my tips by saying all of this? Well, you’ll be totally useless in class if you get sick, so first things first: stay healthy!

勤洗手、戴口罩，可有效防止病毒传播。新冠肺炎属于呼吸性病毒，已被证实会通过咳嗽、打喷嚏的飞沫及手接触进行人对人传播。所以请记得戴口罩，咳嗽、打喷嚏如果没有口罩，请用衣袖或手帕进行遮挡。这些也不算是特别的要求，请大家要养成良好的日常卫生习惯。

为什么开始就提卫生习惯呢？如果在课堂上，没有好身体，全都白搭。所以，请一定保持身体健康！

Daily exercise is one of the keys to staying healthy both mentally and physically, so it should definitely be incorporated into your routine. Mentally speaking, exercise is proven to help fight the effects of stress and depression, both of which may be elevated under current quarantine conditions. It can also help release some of your pent-up or restless energy after having been trapped in your apartment for such a long time. Physically, exercise keeps all the parts of your body strong and working properly, especially your immune system. If you want to go outside for run that should still be ok even under current conditions, so long as you wear a mask. But if your situation prohibits all forms of outdoor activities there’s still much you can do indoors such as Taiichi, yoga, calisthenics, or even following along to an aerobics video.

无论是心理健康还是生理健康，每日的锻炼都不能少，要列入每日作息。从精神层面，尤其在居家隔离期间会增加心理压力，适当锻炼可以减缓压力；长期困在家中，锻炼也可以释放积攒的焦躁不安的情绪。对于身体而言，运动可以强身健体，保证身体器官运转良好，比如可以增强免疫系统。如果条件允许，可以在屋外小跑或其他平常进行的户外运动。如果在室内的推荐几项运动，比如太极、瑜伽、健美操或者跟着视频做有氧运动。

• Keep your camera switched on so your face is visible throughout the whole class. If you feel you’re being watched, you’ll be less likely to get distracted by things unrelated to class.

• When you have a question or don’t understand something, speak up and let your teacher know. It’ll be hard for your teacher to notice you like they can in the classroom when all they see are tiny boxes on their computer screens with your faces in them. Raising your hand won’t have quite the same effect as it would in person, so instead use your microphones and speak up to get your teacher’s attention. Many online platforms also have chat features, so consider using those as well. Chats allow you to avoid interrupting the teacher at a bad time while letting you bring your questions to their attention before you forget.

  
  

• 打开摄像头，保证视频中全班能看到自己的脸。如果感觉被注视，就不容易分神而被其他不相关的东西所吸引。
• 如果有问题、不懂时，可以讲话告知老师。相比在教室上课，线上课堂上老师不太容易看到你，因为老师的屏幕上显示的是一个个小框里大家的脸，你也没法举手示意。所以可在平台的聊天功能区发送信息告知老师，这样不至于打断老师，也可以提出自己的问题防止忘记。

• Tutoring. If you didn’t get good marks on your report card last semester, now might be a great time to hire a tutor. With travel heavily restricted and training centers closed these days, there are likely to be many tutors out there who are bored and looking for work. Take advantage of the situation and try scheduling several online tutoring sessions to review the material you struggled with last semester or to get a little ahead of the material you’ll be dealing with this semester.
• Exam Prep. Spend a little more time preparing for big upcoming exams like TOEFL, SAT, or AP. Now’s a great time to work through several full-length mock exams.
• Hobbies. There’s no shame in spending your extra time on something non-academic. If there’s a hobby you’ve been meaning to do but just have never had enough time to do, well now’s the time! It’s best if the time were used constructively though since those activities will yield results that could potentially be useful later for college. Some fun and constructive ideas: creative writing, working on an art portfolio, cooking, computer programming, or pleasure reading.  
  
  

即使按常规的学校作息，你们也比平常有很多的自由时间，因为比如ECA等一些学校活动没法开展。可将此看作是一个机会，以下是几点建议：

• 课外辅导。如果上学期的成绩不理想，现在是绝好的机会可以找个老师进行辅导。因为旅游受限、很多培训机构也未开业，所以这时应该很好找辅导老师。安排一些在线辅导复习下上学期学起来比较费劲的内容，或者可以提早学习这学期的内容。
  
  
• 备考。再花多点时间来准备即将到来的一些大考：TOEFL、SAT或AP。 现在就有整块的时间来做全套模拟试卷。
  
  
• 爱好。利用空余时间进行与学习无关的个人爱好是好事。如果你有些喜好一直没时间，现在就可以做了。如果是与升学相关的最好了。还有些好玩又有建设性的爱好建议：写作、绘画、做美食、计算机编程或趣味阅读。

总而言之，尽管我们的生活因新冠肺炎疫情受到影响，会有些压力，但是没有理由因其影响你们的学习。希望以上的5点建议可以帮助大家专注、高效的进行学习，直到重返正常生活。最后请大家保证安全、身体健康、加油学习。
