Anything you''d like to say to a future IB students?

　　You will learn how to appreciate your breaks. To me, IB isn''t harder than what I was used to before but rather, it is just more intense in terms of workload (which I''ll assume that you''ve already heard from the IB''ers at your school). Your marks may flucuate at the beginning due to the heavier workload and higher expectations but they shouldn''t drastically change in the long run. Also, depending on your work ethic, the hours of sleep you get will be in decline the more you procrastinate.

　　I remember when I was in IB1 ... I could do most of my assignments the day before the deadline and still get an excellent mark but as the year went on, I found myself sleeping at 11:00 ... 11:30 ... 12:00 ... 1:00... 2:30am. Of course, I eventually learned that that was not working for me and I had to manage my time more wisely but even so, I still catch myself staying up pretty late - not only because of homework, but just because of habit.

　　During the summer between IB1 and IB2 (well, I''m not sure how that would work for the Nov. candidates), try to get ahead in your subjects - even if it is just a miniscule amount. If you are not busy during the summer, try to get some reading done for your Group 4 subject (History in your case) and your Extended essay. I only wish I had the time to get a head start on my EE during the summer because it is due in a month and homework has been piling up lately --> More stress, less sleep.

　　I haven''t got anything else to say right now. Use your time wisely and importantly, don''t let IB run most of your life. Of course you''re going to invest more time into schoolwork but remember, these are your last years of high school. If you spend most of your time just studying and doing homework, you''re obviously missing out on something. Yes, there''s university but there may be friends you''re going to miss ... family that you''re going to move away from.

　　So, manage your time wisely and you''ll be fine ... I suppose

　　你要學會休息，對我來講，IB課程并不必我參加的其它課程困難，但是時間卻比其它課程要緊迫，作業量很大。我想你從IB學校也聽說過這個了。開始時，由于學習壓力和期望值的原因，你的成績可能波動較大，并且長期不會發生巨變。當然，成績的改變取決于你的付出，你睡眠的時間可能被一再壓縮。

　　我記得在IB課程的第一學期，我總是能夠提前完成作業，但是隨著時間的流逝，我睡眠的時間一拖再拖，一開始是11點，然后11點半，12點，1點，2點半。當然，我較終能夠控制住了時間，而不是并自己的學習任務左右。至此，我睡眠時間一直很晚，不僅因為作業多的原因，也是因為我已經養成了晚睡的習慣。

　　在IB1升至IB2的那個暑假，嘗試預習你的科目，即使只能少量預習，如果你在這個暑假不是太忙，那么嘗試讀一些歷史，為第四課的學習做準備，盡可能的擴展閱讀，那個夏天你有一個月的時間，所以給自己一些壓力，少睡會，你的成績會提高很多的。

　　控制好你的時間，這是我較想告訴你的。不要讓IB浪費你太多的生命。當然這是你高中的較后一學期，你理應該努力學習的。但是，如果你被IB的課程作業所拖累，你將失去更多，友誼，家庭的美好時光將一去不復返。

　　較后，我認為IB學習的過程中，管理好時間，你將會很快樂。
