今年的时间过得飞快,本学年也即将结束。这一年发生了很多事情,例如英国保守党在最终大选赢得了下议院的多数席位,并通过了脱欧协议;突如其来的 COVID-19 疫情爆发使世界发展和经济增长暂时陷入了停顿;SpaceX终于在美国本土向国际空间站发射了载人火箭,使其成为有史以来第一个成功发射火箭的私营企业,这也是美国近9年来第一次重启载人航天飞行……今年对正读高一的我来说影响很大,今年过得很快,也很慢。
2019年9月,我开始了高一的新学年,同时,这也意味着GCSE的结束开始了倒计时。由于我在之前暑假的年终考试成绩不尽如人意,所以新学年一开始,我有了更多的动力和对自己更高的要求。然而,并不是所有的计划都按照预想进行,尽管我花了很多时间去复习,我的第一次生物测试成绩并不理想。该学科的考核在英国课程提纲中被设置得特别困难,虽然我的成绩比全班平均水平高,但我对这个分数并不满意。我当时并没有放弃,而是继续努力,因此也在之后的所有学科测试中都取得了更好的结果。但不幸的是,在上学期末,我病得很重,高烧不退持续了五天,那煎熬简直难以名状。
病好了后,我神采奕奕地回到学校。我记得当时学校报道了有关武汉爆发新冠病毒的新闻,但起初大家对此并不在意。因为这种新病毒的症状类似于流感,且毒性比SARS弱。但我们不知道的是,这个病毒将会带来全球性的影响。像往常一样,学校的各种活动继续进行,我在BISMUN的一次模拟联合国会议上获得了我的第一个“最佳初级代表”奖,我所在的辩论小组迅速进入了第二轮辩论。冠状病毒也随着我们的赛程进展而蔓延:先是意大利进入紧急状态,紧接着欧洲其他地区也陷入崩溃,最后,我们的学校也宣布闭校。这是自1532年建校以来,第一次由于病毒大爆发而被迫关闭。除了父母在卫生部门、其他公众服务部门工作的学生之外,所有其他学生都在家上课。
在这个学期即将结束时,不得不说,在封锁期间的某些日子里,生活似乎比以往任何时候都枯燥无味,也让人没有了时间的概念,分不清今天明天。唯一能把日子划分开的就是晚上睡觉的时候。就像一开始说的那样,不知不觉,这学年突然间就要结束了。
回顾本学年,我学习到了很多,但与一个人一生中所要经历的事情相比,这只是凤毛麟角。但也正是这些小事情使我们的生活变得如此愉快和有趣,因此我热切期待着十一年级的开始。

It's shocking how time flies so quickly pass us; the summer term is at its end and so is this academic year. We went through a lot this year: Britain had its election with the conservative party finally gaining the majority in the house of commons and sealing the Brexit deal for good; the devastating COVID-19 pandemic put the world to a halt and made us suffer another global recession, and SpaceX had finally launched a manned rocket to the International Space Station on American soil making it the first private enterprise to do so, and also the first crewed flight launched in the USA in 9 years, et cetera, et cetera. But also for me, Year 10 was more intense others and I journeyed a long way, although things are a bit more domestic and personal.
September 2019, a new start into Y10. The GCSE count down is officially beginning, and due to the fact that the End of Year Exam I did the Summer before was disappointing, to say the least, I came back more eager and with higher goals to push myself to the limit. This, however, like many plans didn't exactly go well at the start; although, with much revision and understanding, my first biology test was quite brutal. The topic was an especially hard one in the syllabus and though I achieved higher than the class average, the score on itself wasn't pleasing at all to the eye. But I didn't give up then, I continued to work hard and a much better and more promising result was achieved in later tests in all subjects. But unfortunately, right at the end of the term, I got extremely ill; I can't taste nor smell anything and my high fever lasted for five days straight, it was like living hell.
After the recovery from my illness, I came back to school refreshed and energetic. Although we have heard news and reports of the new coronavirus in Wuhan, we took it very light-heartedly as the symptoms of this new virus were flu-like and weaker than SARS, but little did we know, this virus would affect the entire globe. School went on, as usual, I achieved my first 'best junior delegate" award in a MUN conference at BISMUN and my house debating team had swiftly moved on to the second round of house debating. But as we went on, so did the coronavirus: Italy went into a state of emergency, and the rest of Europe was falling as well. Finally, the school shut its doors for the first time since the funding in 1532 due to a pandemic and all pupils, except the students who's parents works in the health department were dismissed.
Now, at the end of the Summer term, I must say that at some moment during the lockdown life seemed so boring and continuous than ever before; days all merged together into a big block of time with the only division of the days being the sleeping at night. But, time didn't fail to disappoint, and all of a sudden, the term has ended.
Looking back at this academic year, a lot had been achieved, but compare to all of the important things one do in their lifetime, this is just a minute fraction. But it's these little things are the things that make our lives so enjoyable and interesting, and I look forward to Year Eleven with optimism.
