成长与蜕变

转到国际学校，要克服哪些困难？最难忘的经历是什么呢？

What are the difficulties to be overcome in transferring to an international school? What was the most memorable experience?

Elizabeth：刚开始接触国际体系的课程可能会因为语言和内容侧重点和国内课程不一样感到不太适应。转到国际学校以后在安排自己的课外活动和空闲时间上的自由度会高很多，所以同时需要培养时间管理能力和自律性，有效率地支配自由时间。最难忘的经历应该是进入美达菲以后自己开创社团，得到了老师和学校方面很多的支持，可见国际学校的重心除了学习也包括课外生活。

At the beginning, I may feel uncomfortable with the courses of international system because the language and content focus are different from those of domestic courses. After I transfer to an international school, I will have much more freedom in arranging extracurricular activities and free time. Therefore, I need to cultivate my time-management ability and self-discipline to effectively manage my free time.

The most memorable experience is that I started my own club after I entered MacDuffie. I received a lot of support from teachers and the school. It can be seen that the focus of international school includes extracurricular life as well as study.

兰顿学子：我在诺思兰顿最大的感受是，我的学习和生活都得到了很好的安排，在学习上能得到老师很大的帮助，自己也可以有很合理、高效的学习安排；在生活上，ECA拓展课程、社团活动丰富了我们的业余生活，每天都过得很充实、有意义。MACDUFFIE

Andy：我认为国际学校与体制内学校学习最大的困难就是对自主学习的要求变高了许多，特别是对于我们美高课程的学生来说。除了学校学习的课程以外，为了更好的申请条件，我还自己学习了好几门AP课程。

在这些课程的学习过程中，我需要自行规划课程的进度，寻找配套的资源，并在课余时间抽空上课。因为没有老师像正常课程一样教导和监督，我必须保证自己在规定的考试时间之前高效地完成学习和备考。我最难忘的经历应该是上学期迎接新生的欢迎典礼了，我还从没有在晚上与全校老师和同学们一起点着蜡烛观看表演，而这次的经历也给我留下了很深刻的印象。

In my opinion, the biggest difficulty for international schools and public schools is that the requirements for independent learning have become much higher, especially for students who attend American high school courses. In addition to the courses learned in school, I also learned several AP courses by myself to better qualify for application.

In the learning process of these courses, I need to plan the course progress by myself, look for supporting resources, and take classes in spare time. Since there was no teacher to teach and supervise like a normal course, I had to make sure that I studied and prepared efficiently before the scheduled test time. The most unforgettable experience for me was the welcoming ceremony for freshmen last semester.

I had never watched the performance with all the teachers and students in the evening by candlelight, and this experience left a deep impression on me.

为什么你会选择入读MACDUFFIE美高班？

Why did you choose to enroll in MACDUFFIE AP Class?

Elizabeth：我有美国护照，所以以后打算在美国读大学并在美国定居。美达菲美高班提供很多ap课程我都很感兴趣学习，也打算将来参加校外考试（微积分，美国历史，化学，经济），小班制教学课堂，可以确保对知识的掌握程度，带给学生个性化的教学。

I have an American passport, so I plan to go to college in the United States and settle down there in the future. There are many Ap courses that I am interested in and plan to take outside exams in the future (calculus, American history, chemistry, economics). Most of them are in small class sizes, which can ensure the mastery of knowledge and give students personalized instruction.

Andy：因为我以前在美国上过一段时间的学，我对美国的教育方式和课程产生了较大的兴趣。在体制内的学习中，繁重的学习压力让我并不能很好地学习多余的AP课程，因此我想寻找一个适合我的国际学校。

美达菲优美的环境和认真负责的校长、老师，让我觉得我可以在这里得到对我最大的帮助和成长，因此选择了Macduffie的美高课程。

Because I have studied in the United States for a while, I have developed a great interest in American education methods and courses. In the study within the system, the heavy learning pressure makes me unable to learn the extra AP courses well, so I want to find an international school suitable for me. The beautiful environment and responsible principal teachers of MacDuffie made me feel that I could get the most help here, so I chose MacDuffie's AP course.

与众不同

在美达菲读书，你觉得这所学校有哪些地方与众不同？

What do you think is different about the school when you are a student at MacDuffie?

Elizabeth：首先校园环境非常漂亮，绿化面积大，不会让人觉得压抑。我也很喜欢美达菲的学校氛围，学习压力不会特别大，可以感受到人文关怀。老师都非常平易近人，给每个学生足够的关注，有不会的东西可以直接问他们，不需要额外补课。

First of all, the campus environment is very beautiful, the green area is large, which will not make people feel depressed. I also like the school atmosphere of MacDuffie very much. The study pressure is not too great, and I can feel the humanistic care. The teachers are very approachable and give enough attention to each student. You can ask them directly if you don't know something. There is no need to make up extra lessons.

Andy：我认为在美达菲学习最大的不同是学习内容和学习方式。就像我上面所说，美高课程对自主学习的要求很高，对绩点也就是GPA的要求也很高。我必须积极地参加所有的活动，认真完成所有，包括口头上的作业，并在每一门课上保持足够的发言和互动。

这与我以前只是完成作业和考试的学习有很大的不同。我在这里提高了与人交流和沟通的能力，通过合作共同完成小组项目，甚至如何与老师和同学们准确表达自己的想法。

I think the biggest difference in learning in MacDuffie is what you learn and how you learn. As I mentioned above, the American High School curriculum have high requirements for independent study, and also a high requirement for grade points, that is, GPA. I have to actively participate in all activities, conscientiously complete all assignments, including oral assignments, and maintain sufficient speaking and interaction in each class.

This is quite different from my previous study where I just finished my homework and exams. Here I learned how to communicate with others, work together on group projects, and even how to express my ideas accurately with teachers and classmates.

课余生活你有哪些个人兴趣爱好吗？

Do you have any personal interests after school?

Elizabeth：我喜欢读书，看电影纪录片，有时候会动手自己做一些吃的和饮料，也参加过很多演讲辩论相关的活动和比赛。

I like reading books, watching movies and documentaries, and sometimes I make some food and drinks by myself. I have also participated in many activities and competitions related to speeches and debates.

Andy：我在课余的爱好有篮球，羽毛球与小提琴。篮球与小提琴都是我坚持多年的爱好，并为此付出了不少努力和汗水。羽毛球则是我受美达菲同班同学的影响后发展出来的，毕竟我们学校的羽毛球设施相当不错，愿意参加的人数也不少。可能是因为不想在运动后一身汗影响后续的课程吧，我对羽毛球这种既能锻炼体能，也能锻炼反应速度的体育项目有了深厚的兴趣。

My hobbies in my spare time are basketball, badminton and violin. Basketball and violin are my hobbies for many years, and I have paid a lot of efforts and sweat. I developed badminton under the influence of my classmates.

After all, the badminton facilities in our school are quite good and many people are willing to participate. Maybe because I don't want to sweat after exercise to affect the subsequent classes, I have developed a deep interest in badminton, a sport that can not only exercise physical strength, but also exercise reaction speed.

感谢与祝福

最想对班主任和同学说的话？

What do I want to say to my class teacher and classmates?

Elizabeth：我11年级转进美高班，但是适应新环境算是很快，所以我特别想感谢班主任和同学们对待我的热情和友善，让我顺利地融入到集体里，并且有很多和他们共享的美好经历。希望你们在以后的生活，学习和事业上都能获得如愿的发展！

I was transferred to American High School in grade 11, but it took me a long time to adapt to the new environment, so I would like to thank my head teacher and classmates for their warm and friendly treatment of me, so that I can integrate into the group smoothly, and have a lot of wonderful experiences shared with them. I hope you can achieve the desired development in your future life, study and career!

Andy：我最想对班主任说的话是：“杜老师加油！感谢您一直以来对我的关照和帮助，祝福您在未来的工作生活中一切顺利。”

What I want to say most to the class teacher is: "Teacher Du, come on! Thank you for your care and help all the time. I wish you all the best in your future work and life."

我想对同学说的话是：“高中的学习是我们人生中最为重要的阶段之一，努力学习，但同时享受生活，才不算是辜负了自己。”

What I want to say to my classmates is: "High school study is one of the most important stages in our life, study hard, but at the same time enjoy life, it is not to let down yourself."

未来的目标

个人目标和未来规划是什么？在实现梦想的道路上做了哪些努力？

What are your personal goals and future plans? What efforts have you made to achieve your dream?

Elizabeth：在美本申请上我想尽量冲刺一下综排Top20-30的Reach school，或者顶尖一些的文理学院，学习政经或者商科相关的专业。我已经考完了sat和托福两个很重要的标化，现在到申请季打断做人文方向的科研，并在暑假的时候开始规划文书。

In the application of the universities in America, I want to try my best to go to the top20-30 reach school, or some top liberal arts colleges, to study political economics or business related majors. I have finished the SAT and TOEFL, two very important standardized exams. Now I will stop doing scientific research in humanities during the application season and start to plan the documents during the summer vacation.

Andy：我对我未来大学的目标是QS排名前30的大学，想学习的专业是应用数学。为了达到这个目标，我尽我所能地在每一门课程上都努力学习，不放过任何提升自己的机会；我严格要求我在每一次作业和上课的质量，时刻关注我的GPA和任何需要我改正的问题。同时，我还在我有限的一年时间里尽可能地学习更多的AP课程，以增加我申请的竞争力。实现梦想的道路永远不是一帆风顺的，在这最美好和富有激情的青春年华里，我想所有的努力都是值得的。

My goal for my future university is to be admitted to one of the top 30 universities ranked by QS, and I want to study applied mathematics as my major. In order to achieve this goal, I try my best to study hard in every subject and do not miss any chance to improve myself.

I am strict with the quality of every homework and class, and always pay attention to my GPA and any problems that need me to correct. At the same time, I also try to take as many AP courses as possible in my limited one year to increase the competitiveness of my application. The road to realize the dream is never smooth sailing. In this most beautiful and passionate youth, I think all the efforts are worth it.

班主任寄语 “金颖同学刚刚进入美高班的时候，是一个比较内向的小姑娘，慢慢的和同学们熟悉了之后，她逐渐变得活泼开朗了起来，也比较适应学校的生活。目前金颖同学的标化考试托福语言成绩达到了114分，SAT达到了1550分。目前在班级里的成绩也是十分稳定的，GPA在3.8左右。由于金颖同学具有很强的组织能力和文案编辑能力，本学期她创建了校园公众号社团和饮品文化社，社团活动丰富多彩，赢得了广大同学们的喜爱。我相信金颖同学在接下来的学习生活中会更加的出彩，能够在即将来临的申请季拿到心仪的offer。”

Elizabeth was an introverted girl when she just entered the American High School class. After getting familiar with her classmates, she has gradually become lively and cheerful and has adapted to the school life.

At present, she got 114 points in TOEFL and 1550 points in SAT. And her academic performance in the class is also very stable, with a GPA of 3.8. Due to her strong organizational ability and copy editing ability, Jin Ying set up a campus public account club and a beverage culture club this semester. The club activities are colorful, and she has won the favor of the students.

I believe that Jin Ying will be more outstanding in her future study and life, and she will get the offer she is interested in in the coming application season.

“伍愿臻同学一直是一个十分自律，目标清晰的同学，踏实勤奋的学习精神可以成为任何人的榜样，一丝不苟的学习态度更是伍愿臻同学成绩稳步上升的重要保障，目前伍愿臻同学的托福成绩已经达到了108分，打算暑期再考一次托福，争取拿到110分以上的成绩。同时伍愿臻同学目前一直在准备ACT的考试，期待他取得优异的成绩。除了学习成绩比较优秀之外，伍愿臻同学积极参加了校内外的各种活动。人生最重要的是拼搏，最难得的是坚持。期待伍愿臻同学拿到心仪的offer。”

Andy has always been a self-disciplined student with clear goals. His down-to-earth and diligent learning spirit can serve as a model for anyone, and his meticulous learning attitude is an important guarantee for his steady improvement in academic performance.

Currently, Wu's TOEFL score has reached 108 points, and he plans to take the TOEFL test again in the summer vacation to get a score above 110 points. At the same time, Wu has been preparing for the ACT exam, expecting him to get excellent results. In addition to his excellent academic performance, Wu has actively participated in various activities inside and outside the school.

The most important thing in life is to struggle, the most rare is to insist. I hope Wu will get the offer that he is interested in.

潜心向学，沉稳以待

携梦上路，追光而行

希望两位同学能始终保持

自信高效的学习状态

在未来展翅高飞，实现自己的理想
