GPA成绩-话题-教育

Applying for college can be a source of pressure for high school seniors who want to go on with their education.

对于那些纠结升学(受教育)的高中三年组学生来说，申请大学是个(造成)压力的根源。

Before the end of the first semester,seniors have to decide which colleges they want to apply to,and fill out their applications.Then they will request official copies of their own transcripts and ask some teachers for recommendation letters.

在(高中最后一年的)第一学期结束之前，学生们必须决定他们要申请哪些大学，并且要填好他们的申请表。然后他们需请学校提供他们本人成绩单证明书的正式复印本，并请某些老师为他们写推荐信函。

On top of that,colleges look at a student's GPA.It is the average score of al the classes.Since teachers only give letter grades,GPA is calculated by changing the letters to numbers and taking the mean.To convert a letter grade,an A is 4;B,C,D,and F are 3,2,1 and 0,respectively.

除此之外，大学要看学生的GPA。这是所有课程的平均分数。因为老师们给的(成绩)公是以字母来分等级，GPA的计算是把字母转换为数字，再取其平均值。转换时，是把字母A改为4分;B,C,D，和F分别改为3，2，1，和0分。

In order to have a high GPA,students must get good grades during all eight semesters.A single semester's low GPA will bring down the average,and this will be very hard to make up for.

为了得到高分的GPA，学生们必须在所有的8个学期(中学的最后那四年)都要有好的成绩。任何一个学期不好的(低的)GPA成绩将会拉下最后的总平均分数，而且这将很难(用其它学期的成绩来)补回。
