转眼四年的初中时光过去了,回望在协和的学习经历,可谓是收获颇丰。在这里,不仅有有趣的学习内容,更有丰富多彩的课外活动。
In retrospect of the past four years of studying in SUIS Wanyuan, I realized that I had gained so much through the intriguing classes and the wonderful extracurricular activities provided by our school.
由于协和使用双语教学模式,六年级刚进协和时,我没有良好的英语基础,很难适应。外教说的长句,我很难理解,有时整节课只能听懂几个单词;一遇见稍微复杂的句式就无法阅读,更不用说英文写作了;说起来英文,也是磕磕巴巴,无法将单词拼凑成完整的句子。后来,在老师的指导与同学的帮助下,我发现学习英文不能只是背单词、做题目,要在生活中使用这门语言。渐渐地,沉浸式的英语学习环境,与外教的口语对话联系,轻松有趣的学习方法,就这样潜移默化地提高了我的英语口语和写作水平,最终使我能够自信地运用英语沟通交流。
However, there were also some difficulties that I had to overcome during my study here. For instance, when I first came, my English foundation was at a sub-par level – my grammar, vocabulary, writing and spoken English were quite weak compared to other students. Fortunately, the immersive language learning environment and being able to casually chat with my western teachers made my learning experience really enjoyable and fun! Gradually, I was able to improve both my spoken English and writing skills.
协和的一大特色就是每月一次的博物馆学习实践活动。真正的学习不只是学习书本上的知识,还要有质疑、探索和钻研能力。纺织博物馆、地铁博物馆、佘山天文台……这一次次经历使我高效地完成了各项科目的学习,并激发了我探索与实践的兴趣,引导我在课内基础内容之上进行来不少自主拓展学习。其中令我影响最深的是华东师大物理实验室的体验活动,在那之前,很多物理理论都只是书本和题目里的知识点。原来简简单单的几条物理定律,经过一系列的推导和结合,可以设计出便利的应用。
In addition, one of SUIS’s outstanding teaching practices is the museum study. Genuine and comprehensive learning shouldn’t be confined to mere knowledge from textbooks. Effective learning involves the elements of curiosity, inquiry and discovery. Museum study experiences, such as visits to the Textile Museum, Metro Museum, and Sheshan Observatory, not only aroused my interest in delving into STEM-related knowledge but also helped us to put the theories we learned in class into practice.
我在协和还担任了学生自主管理学院的宣传部编辑工作,参加过美术社团、运动会、山东游学、古诗词大会等课外活动。其中印象最深的是山东游学活动。八年级下学期的时候,我们去山东曲阜探访了孔子的桑梓之地,参观了“三孔”、岱庙等。在老师的引领下,更深层次地理解了儒家思想的精髓,同时亲身体验中国传统民间艺术,帮助我更深刻地感受到中国传统文化的魅力,使我对中国人文历史产生了浓厚的兴趣。
Besides curricular studies, I also worked as an editor in our student union and joined many extracurricular activities. One of the most memorable experiences was the G8 excursion in Shandong. We visited some historical sites of Confucius, which profoundly deepened our appreciation for the marvels of our nation’s own history, tradition and culture. Afterwards, I became much keener on learning about the subject of humanistic culture and history.
课外活动与课内学习的结合,不仅提高了我的综合素养,更使我学会了合理调配课内外时间,劳逸结合。在协和我每学期均获得学习之星及奖学金,还获得了学生自主管理学院优秀志愿者、协和杯道德风尚十佳少年等称号,囊括校英语辩论赛冠军、闵行区古诗词大赛二等奖、北外田园杯作文大赛三等奖、校内外各项美术及书法比赛优秀作品等各种奖项。
The combination of curricular study and extracurricular activities has not only enriched me in a comprehensive way, but also enhanced my ability of time management. It has been a great honour that I was able to receive scholarship every semester, and the honours of Student of Excellence as well as Brilliant Volunteer of the Student Union. Some of the other awards I received are from English Debate Contest, Poem Competition, Essay Competition, Calligraphy and Art Competitions.
在协和的学习历程是一段难忘的经历,在协和获得的学习精神与能力也将伴随我走过往后的学习时光。
All in all, I believe that the invaluable experience of learning at SUIS Wanyuan is something that will inspire me for the rest of my life.
