The first year of college is referred to as大一 (It is “大學一年級” in short.), the second year is大二, the 3rd year is大三, and the 4th year is大四. In the three years high school, 高一refers to the first year of high school, which is short for “高中一年級” (10th grade). 高二 refers to the 2nd year(11th grade), and 高三refers to the 3rd year(12th grade). 了：When it appears after a verb, it usually indicates a completion of an action; ex. 說了，看了，寫了，學了…
