18、e challenge of a new term The new term is finally here, which means, of course, its time to return to school. For many students across China, that also means having to leave home for the next several months and move into a school dormitory. Being away from our family for a long time, however, often
19、leads to homesickness, a feeling that most students have experienced at some point.
