Today's lecture not only introduces the basic situation, advantages and highlights of each university in detail, but also provides a good opportunity for students to popularize knowledge. Our school has always paid attention to the planning and guidance of students' overseas study. In the first year of senior high school, we set up the guidance course of studying abroad. The annual university visits and online lectures are important opportunities for students to communicate face-to-face with the university admission officers.
I believe that through today's lecture, Grade 10 and 11 students have a clearer direction for their future study. Grade 12 students will also have more specific goals to work towards in the university application process.
