Dear Parents and Students,

Life is given by God and is an extremely precious gift, so we should live it abundantly with reverence and gratitude. The Bible says: "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). This verse tells us that God's love and grace are unconditional. Yes, he was willing to sacrifice His Son in order to save our lives, which means he values each of us very highly. If God is willing to give everything for us, then think about how precious we are to him?

The meaning of life lies not only in survival, but also in how to live out the purpose. In the Bible, Jesus Christ told us: "I have come that they may have life, and to have it abundantly" (John 10:10). This tells us that God not only wants us to have life, but also wants us to be able to live more abundantly and meaningfully. We should use our lives to do something beneficial for others, to help those in need, to love and care for others, to contribute to society, and to make this world a better place.

Life is a very precious gift, but there will always be many challenges and difficulties. We must face these challenges head-on, because they can help us grow and develop. Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, said: "Your time is limited, don't waste it, live your life." This quote is more convincing to Jobs, who was seriously ill, than anyone else, because he knew that one's life could be short. He hoped to use his own experience to encourage us not to waste time, but to make full use of the time we have to pursue our own dreams and goals. It was this passion for innovation and the enthusiasm for technology that made Apple such an internationally renowned technology company.

We must be brave enough to face the challenges of life, to be steadfast, to keep trying, to seek help until we succeed. At the same time, we must also make full use of the time we have, pursue our dreams and goals, live a meaningful and rich life, live up to the most precious gift God has given, treat it with awe and gratitude, and use our lives to light up the lives of others and make the world a better place.

The end of the school term is approaching, and students have to prepare well for the Final Examination. Its purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness of student's learning, determine whether students are more suitable for promotion or for retention, carefully select students for EMI and CMI, and decide suitability for particular elective subjects. Students should prepare for the examination seriously, and start planning their revision timetable to complete the review of the whole syllabus. They should do more practice exercises, strive for the best possible results in the exams, and not disappoint the expectations of their families and teachers.
