A: Haven't seen you for a long time, Joanna.

B: Yes, I've just finished senior high school and am taking my vacation here.

A: Really? I'll be in grade 3 after the vacation, the last year in senior high school. Senior year is hard for most students in China. How about it in America?

B: As far as I'm concerned, I greatly enjoyed it. I had a lot of successes during my senior year.

A: Like...?

B: Well, one of the best things was working as an arts editor for our school newspaper. I enjoyed it! I love writing, and working on the paper was my first step towards becoming a journalist, so it was a real success for me

A: Anything else?

B: Something else I greatly enjoyed was working as a peer mediator.

A: Peer mediator?

B: Yeah, a peer mediator is someone who helps students to settle problems that they have with other students.

A: I see. We don't have peer mediators in our school.

B: At the start of the school year, we were given training in how to do this, and it's clear that this kind of work can really help people. I think I'll continue to work as a mediator when I go to college.

A: I hear you American students have great fun outside classroom lessons.

B: You are right. During the Easter vacation, I went on a short school skiing trip to the Rocky Mountain. I'd been skiing quite a few times but never with the school, and since two good friends came on the trip, we had great fun racing each other down the ski slopes. It's well-known that American is competitive, and I did enjoy it whenever I won our races!

A: I would also enjoy it if I won a race!

B: Other things I was pleased about - getting good grades on my final exams, and receiving the senior prize for English Literature. I was given a car by my parents so I was able to drive to school, which was brilliant.

A: Wow, they're so generous. I took the first place in my last exams, and my parents only treated me to dinner!

B: I'll never forget being elected to the students' council. I really enjoyed meeting the teachers and telling them how we, the students, felt about things, and what we thought should happen in the school!

A: It's a good thing that you are relaxed with your teachers.
