He participated in the 70th anniversary celebrations of the National Day and was rated as "Team Model" and "Excellent Individual".

He was selected as a member of the 22nd graduate student teaching team and will go to Guizhou to support teaching after graduation.
We should take one step further
“Choosing this major can be said to be a mistake, but different paths lead to the same goal. "Zhang Zhanlin recalled when he entered the University of International w88 four years ago and said, "I am very lucky to be able to study the subject I like. "At that time, he hoped to study literature, but due to his parents' advice, he applied to an economics college, but in the end he was admitted to the Chinese w88 casino of the University of International w88 and Economics.
Zhang Zhanlin, who loves language and literature, has been working diligently and constantly improving his professional studies, and has now successfully secured a postgraduate degree in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics at the University of International w88 and Economics. Talking about learning methods and experiences, he said that he should not only pay attention to the teacher's teaching in class and review the content after class, but also gradually form his own professional qualities through accumulated reading during the learning process. “Only in this way can we clearly understand the innovation and significance of those studies.” Zhang Zhanlin believes that the most important thing in learning is to draw your own opinions through thinking, find your own learning method, and ensure efficient learning.
When it comes to high efficiency, this good habit is inseparable from the training Zhang Zhanlin received from participating in student work. As Secretary General of the Undergraduate Art Center and Director of the Sports Department of the Chinese College Student Union, the biggest challenge he faces is how to allocate time between study and work. Zhang Zhanlin said frankly that the work he is responsible for often takes up a lot of time, and he needs to use fragmented time to study. He also felt a lot of pressure at the beginning, but as he gradually got used to this rhythm, it was precisely this kind of busyness that improved his abilities. "Holding an event requires taking into account many aspects. From planning to on-site implementation, it basically requires several months of preparation and hard work," Zhang Zhanlin said. "I learned a lot of ways to improve efficiency and arrange time, and it allowed me to be highly concentrated when studying." In addition to the improvement of learning ability, student work also brought him more gains. "Through doing student work, I have become more confident and dare to express my ideas." In the past, he was not a person who would put forward his own opinions in group discussions. He always felt that he would say something wrong and be laughed at by others. But now he will challenge the role of team leader or "leader" and boldly put forward his own opinions.
Approach learning with a rigorous and modest attitude, face work with seriousness and dedication, and constantly learn from past experiences. Zhang Zhanlin never stops moving forward.
Practice your responsibilities and achieve your goals
Talking about the most impressive thing during his college years, Zhang Zhanlin mentioned the experience of participating in the 70th Anniversary National Day Choral Team. From the beginning of the selection in June, to the formal rehearsal in July, to standing in the square on October 1st, those more than 100 days were hard and fulfilling."When I sang the last song of the day, "Singing the Motherland," I felt a sense of pride in my heart." Zhang Zhanlin recalled, "What impressed me most was when I met a father and son riding bicycles on the way back to w88 casino, holding a sign with the words 'Thank you for your hard work.' I was particularly moved at that moment." This memory is etched in his heart, and the pride, emotion, and respect at that time have become an unforgettable and precious emotion. "No words are needed when you are there, you will naturally feel proud and proud of your country."
During the interview, Zhang Zhanlin mentioned it several times“I hope I can contribute a little bit to the country and society.” In his life, he has put this idea into practice. During this epidemic, he went into the community to promote epidemic prevention knowledge, helped community workers check and register, and assisted grade counselors in epidemic prevention work. He used online meetings to conduct lectures on career and study planning for junior students. When talking about this, he said, "In the past six months, I have truly felt the cohesion of people. With everyone's joint efforts, we can overcome any difficulties."
Youth should take responsibility, not only forResponsible for the future of the "small self" is also responsible for the "big self" and social responsibility. For Zhang Zhanlin, "contributing one's own strength" is no longer a goal or a proposition, but practice and action again and again.
Keep loving and keep moving forward
Looking back on the past four years, Zhang Zhanlin mentionedThe word "love". "Whether it's majors, activities or student work, the most important thing is to do what you like." When asked about his advice to his fellow students, he also said: "You can try to get in touch with various new things. Only after experiencing them can you find the direction. Once you find the direction, move forward with a heart of learning and love, and the road ahead will become wider."
Focusing on the upcoming year, Zhang Zhanlin expressed his expectation to do his best to satisfy the students' desire for exploration and knowledge, broaden their horizons, and bring some changes to local education through volunteer teaching.“Teaching has always been something I like and am happy to do. Our volunteer teaching group has a slogan: ‘Do something unforgettable in a year.’” For the further future, Zhang Zhanlin also hopes to engage in a professional-related career and be accompanied by language.
The road ahead may be long and difficult, but with responsibility you can have faith, and persistence in love can turn it into motivation. Fulfilling responsibilities is the responsibility of young people, and pursuing love comes from the persistence in the heart. In the past few days, Zhang Zhanlin has taken every step steadily. Looking forward, he will continue to love what he loves and move towards his next destination.
"In fact, firm love is also firm in the original intention. On this road, we can sing and walk."
