【正确答案】 The Main Difference Between My College Life and My Middle School Life As every college student would agree, life in college is not the same as it was in the middle school. In my eyes, the main difference lies in the degree of independence. In college, I enjoy a great degree of independence. I live on my own: wash my own clothes, buy my own food, look after myself. I make my daily decisions of my own will. What is more, I depend heavily on myself in my study. I have plenty of free time outside the class. In order to succeed, I need to gain as much from the teachers'' lectures as from my self-study. In the absence of pressure form both the college and the family, I must have a workable plan of my own. In contrast, I lived a dependent life in the middle school. My parents were responsible for my daily life so that I did not have to worry about food, clothing and the like. Nor did I have to plan much for my study. My teachers had almost everything in store for me. What I needed to do was to swallow it in and digest it. The harder I worked under the teachers'' instruction, the greater my progress. By comparison, I would say I love the independent life now. After all, I am already an adult. To sum up, I live a quite different life in college from that in my middle school in that I am much more responsible for my own life and study. To those newcomers, I would suggest they break away from their parents'' tender care and stand on their own feet.
