to strike a deal = to close a deal = to make a sale

You should celebrate when you strike deal.

You were struggling to reach the target. But now I am relieved and euphoric.

elementary school, middle school, high school, university / college

After high school, I went to college; my major was Business Management.

University is public, it’s a run by the state and is usually free.

College is private, it’s run by a private institution and is usually expensive.

In my field (Business), colleges and business schools usually have a better reputation, but in engineering, universities are better-ranked.

Each university, each school each college, each institution has its own selection process.

You can apply to many schools, it is even recommended.

e = out

im = in

emigrate = go OUT of a country

immigrate = go IN a country

The gaokao is a national test which determines which university you can attend.

When you take a test, you can either pass it or fail it.

You must take the test even if you are sick, because there is no second chance.

prevent sb/sthg from doing

It can prevent people from cheating.

What happens if you get caught cheating?
to facilitate = to make easy, to organize
Some people facilitate cheating.

In Europe, the police caught a network of cheating facilitators who took tests for their customers.

It’s a serious offence.
Even small victories should be celebrated
