重慶 敖瑞容

核心素養的重要目標就是培養學生在未來的復雜情境下解決實際問題的能力。培養高中生必備的生活技能是培養核心素養的重要途徑之一。

1Many of us and our parents are unaware of the importance of the new course life skills for us.As we will become adults in the near future,we need to prepare ourselves for the responsibilities of adulthood.Without the proper lessons,a student will struggle to survive in an adult world.

2Many students have shown a great deal of interest in life skills for us,but we lack guidance from our teachers on how to apply what we have learned.By providing teachers with both materials and classroom opportunities,there is no limit to the impact that can be achieved.

3Life skills for high school students require not only the generation of a successful character,but also the maintenance of that character in the face of significant changes.The topics on the life skills for high school students worksheets include self-esteem,financial planning,time management,communication,leadership,conflict resolution and integrity（誠實正直）.

4Due to the specific nature of the subject matter,the life skills for high school students will satisfy the needs of today's students.Today's teens are less focused on physical activities and more concerned with learning how to balance work and school.They are not necessarily pressured to go to college,but instead,they use the time spent in high school to help prepare for a college degree.

5One of the most interesting things about life skills for us is that it doesn't focus on how much we learn,but rather on how well we can take advantage of the material.It is possible to learn many new things,but without the means to apply them in a practical manner,the most basic skills will be useless.

6Although the process of applying life skills for high school students might seem overwhelming（無法抗拒的）,the whole process is easy and fun.Students just need to choose the life skills worksheet that best suits their needs.When we have a chance to apply our new skills,it will not only help us reach our goals in life,but it will give us a sense of accomplishment.
