EXPERIENCE

我在万源协和的经历

My experience at SUIS WY

大家好，我叫李文轩，来自万源协和11年级。很荣幸能够在这里和大家分享我的故事。我选择万源协和，因为这里课程设置是美国的高中体系，我们可以灵活的选择自己喜欢的课程。加入AP课程让我能够提前修得大学的学分，这不仅能让我更好的申请自己喜欢的学校，也能帮助我在上大学时更快的适应学校授课内容。协和万源的老师们不仅教会我学科知识，还在生活和学习中不断地指引我，开导我。在我遇到不顺心的事情时，老师们会为我分析问题并提出有效的解决问题的办法。

Hello, my name is Lilly Li, from Grade 11 in SUIS WY. I am glad to share my experience with you here. I chose SUIS WY because the curriculum here is American common core curriculum puls AP courses, which means we can choose the courses we like. AP courses allow me to earn university course credits in advance and I have a better chance applying to my dream schools. It also helps me adapt to the teaching content in the school faster when I leave for college. The teachers here not only teach me subject knowledge but also guide and enlighten me in life and study. When I encounter something unsatisfactory, the teachers will analyze the problem for me and propose effective solutions to the problem.

Small habits, Huge Changes

小习惯，大改变

小时候我有一个习惯，那就是一放学便立刻去图书馆，直到写完作业才回家。正是因为这个习惯，我在学习中能做到自律自主。在后来，即使作业越来越多，我也能根据不同的作业时间节点合理安排我的学习时间和科目，因此我总能取得相对满意的成绩。

我有几个时间管理的小技巧。首先，我会关掉手机不让自己受到外界得打扰，专心做自己的事。此外，我会合理安排学习任务的优先级别，先做最紧急、最重要的事情。合理的计划总能让我在有限的时间内将作业以最高的质量完成。

When I was younger, I made a habit of going to the library as soon as school is over until I finished my homework. By doing so, I achieved self-discipline in my studies. Even when I grew older and got more homework, I still can meet the deadlines of all my subject assignments easily, and always get good grades.

I have several time management tips. Firstly, I would turn off my cellphone so I wouldn’t get disturbed it and could concentrate on my own study.Second, I will prioritize my learning tasks rationally, do the most urgent and important tasks first. Reasonable planning will always allow me to complete the work with the highest quality within the limited time.

Small Change, Big Difference

小改变，大不同

生活中处处有竞争，我们总是奋力争先、不甘落后，但很多时候，我们的对手并不是别人，而在于突破自我。小时候的我性格内向，老师和朋友们对我的评价也一直是一个安静乖巧的女孩。来到协和万源之后，学校的ECA（课外活动）让我在一天忙碌的学习生活之后可以自由地参与兴趣活动，活动包括体育、音乐、艺术和各类学术竞赛等。由于学校的老师几乎都是外教，他们在日常生活中对汉语的交流学习比较有限。因此，我想到我们可以创建教授中文的社团，来帮助老师们解决语言学习的困难。我们把它命名为：为学社CHAT。这个名字来源于一首中国古诗《为学》，文章意思大概是只要肯坚持去做，世界上没有什么困难的事。为学社是由中国学生自己设计中文教案和课堂，为想学习中文的外籍同学和老师提供服务。我们的社团有三十多个学生成员，分别隶属于教案部和教课部。社团举办后有三十多位老师加入了为学社学习中文。在帮助外教学习中文的同时，也拉近了我们和老师之间的距离，参加社团的同学还能获得志愿者工作时间，为学社也逐渐成为万源协和最受欢迎的社团之一。如今，我逐渐变得外向，能够和新朋友们谈天说地，成为了课堂上最活跃的学生之一。

Competition could be everywhere in life. We always strive to be No. 1 and not to be left behind. Sometimes, our opponents are not others, but ourselves. When I was a kid, I was an introvert person, all my teachers and friends comment me as a quiet and well-behaved girl. After coming to Wanyuan, the school's ECAs allow me to participate in different extracurricular activities freely, including sports, music, arts and different academic comptitons. Since almost all the teachers in our school are foreign teachers, I came up with an idea of creating a Chinese-teaching club to help the teachers improve their Chinese speaking abiliy and make their life in China easiler. We called it: Wei Xue CHAT Club. The name came from an ancient Chinese poem "Wei Xue". The poem says as long as you insist on doing it, there will be no more difficult things in the world. Our club members will design Chinese lesson plans to provide teaching materials for foreign students and teachers to learn Chinese. Currently our club has more than 30 members, they are divided into the writing department and the teaching department. Since the club was established, more than 30 teachers joined the club to learn Chinese. It shortens the distance between students and teachers while helping foreign teachers to learn Chinese. Students who participate in the club can also get community service time. CHAT Club has gradually become one of the most popular clubs in SUIS WY. As to me, I become an outgoing person who is able to chat with new friends, and one of the most active students in the class.

做好时间管理，我突破了贪玩的自己；创办为学社，做一个善于沟通交流的社团管理者，我突破了内向、不爱说话的自己。有句台词这样说：“你知道百米赛跑最美妙的是什么吗？是枪响后，这个世界只剩你和终点。”人生最大的障碍是自己，留在舒适圈很容易，而坚持突破自己的人，才会看到更多的风景。我很荣幸能成为突破自己大军中的一员，你也可以加入我们的队伍之中，成为更好的自己。

By doing a good job in time management, I have broken through my playful self; I have broken through my introverted self, who use to be quiet. By starting a learning club and I became a club manager that is good at communication. There is a saying: "Do you know what is the most wonderful thing about the 100-meter race? After the gunshots, there are only you and the finish line in the world." The biggest obstacle in life is yourself, it is easy to stay in the comfort zone, and those who insist on breaking through themselves will see more scenery. I am honored to be a part of the breakthrough team, and you can join our team and become a better version of yourself.

Lilly in Teacher's Eyes

Lilly 给我的第一印象是文静中带着力量。她创办的为学社团，是学校最受欢迎的社团之一；学校的Buddy Program，她积极主动参与，分享各种学习心得。招生官来访她积极互动，一气呵成通讯稿……每一次给她布置任务，都会很放心。她就像个小太阳一样，很温暖，很阳光。希望一次次小小的经历能让她积攒更多的能量，希望万源力量能让她开出更美的花。

The first impression of Lilly to me is quiet with power. The CHAT club she founded is one of the most popular clubs in the school，she actively participated in Buddy Program with various learning experiences sharing，she actively interacted when admission office visited with high quality newsletter after meeting, etc. She can completer every task with the feeling of warm and sunny. I hope she could  accumulate more energy with these tiny experiences  and bloom more beautiful with Wanyuan power.
