2021年秋季学期，我们迎来了G1与G2年级的新生。为了让同学们尽快适应SDA的学习与生活，学校为同学们安排了多元的新生集训活动。

In the fall semester of 2021, we welcomed the new students of G1 and G2. We have arranged diverse orientation activities so that students can adapt to their studies and life at SDA as soon as possible.

迎新生，送礼包

同时为了防疫安全，部分全体性活动在线上开展，同学们在各自的教室内认真观看学习。

At the same time, in order to ensure safety against epidemic, some of the plenary activities will be conducted online and students can watch and learn carefully in their classrooms.

程校长对新同学们寄予深切厚望，在新生入学典礼中，她说：

Principal Ms. Agnes Cheng had deep expectations for the new students. She said at the orientation ceremony that:

欢迎所有新生加入SDA大家庭，当同学们踏入校园的这一刻之前，我们在做什么？今天我们进入校园，来到德英乐，我们又在想什么？今天的你和昨天的你是不一样的。我希望所有的同学能够有与众不同的一面，和你们的昨天不一样。同学们，我希望大家来到德英乐做的第一件事情，就是每一天、每一刻、每一秒都要看自己。

真正的看自己，不是照着镜子，而是有更大的担当，大家即将进入到新的学业阶段—高中学习。初中阶段很多同学觉得是家长要我学习，老师要我学习，但现在大家要知道，学习是每位同学自己的责任，你需要承担自己的责任，希望大家看到的是把学习当成自己责任的自己。

看见自己是树立自己的目标，有的同学想学音乐，有的同学想成为设计师，有的同学想成为教师，这些都是你们自己真正的目标。

看见自己—每个人都有无限可能，培育自己的特长和兴趣，你将拥有广阔的天地，你能看见每天不一样的自己，这样的自己是更完整的自己。

当我们处在一个社群中，我们不仅要看见自己，也要看见世界。

看见世界是尊重差异，我们身边的每个人都有自己的特点，我们要尊重每种特点，尊重文化差异，让我们的视角更加开阔。

希望同学们“胸怀远大，志存高远”，有眼望星空的勇气和志向，每个人都有梦想，让我们脚踏实地，一起实现梦想。

看见自己是坚持长期主义的原则，就像坚持十年如一日认真地学习，在未来定能收获惊喜。

学习奥运团队，用素养和修养征服世界，靠对极致的追求，赢得荣誉！

如何才能真正的看自己，看世界？

--成为积极的参与者，积极参与学校的活动中，全身心的投入；

--成为坚定的行动者，脚踏实地，担当自己的责任，才能实现自己的目标；

--成为动态的思考者，每天不断思考、反思，每天都在进步；

--成为主动的承担者，主动地担当比被动地接受，更加能让你看到自己的不同

每一天我们看自己，看世界，不断进步，不断追求，才能赢得自己，赢得世界！

希望同学们享受在SDA的每一天！

Welcome all new students to the SDA family. What were we doing when we stepped onto campus? What were we thinking when we entered the campus of SDA? You are different today compared with yesterday. I want all students to be unique and be different from what you were yesterday. The first thing I want you to do at SDA is to observe yourself every day, every moment, every second.

Observing yourself does not mean looking in the mirror, but having a greater commitment to the new academic stage you are about to enter - high school studies. In junior high school, many of you felt that your parents and teachers wanted you to study, but now you need to know that studying is your own responsibility. I hope that you can become the person who take study as one’s own responsibility.

Observing yourself requires us to set our own goals. Some students want to learn music, some want to become designers, and some want to become teachers. These are your own real goals.

Observing yourself - everyone has infinite possibilities. Cultivate your own strengths and interests, you will embrace a broad world, and you can find a different yourself every day, which is a more complete version of yourself.

When we are in a community, we need to observe not only ourselves but also the world.

Observing the world is about respecting differences. Everyone around us has their own characteristics and we need to respect each of them, respect cultural differences and open up our perspectives.

We hope that our students will have broad horizons and lofty ideals, have the courage and ambition to look at the stars. Everyone has dreams, let us work hard and realize our dreams together.

Observing yourself is the principle of adhering to long-termism. Studying perseveringly will surely bring you surprises in the future.

We should learn from the Olympic team, conquering the world with literacy and cultivation, winning glory by the pursuit of the ultimate!

How can you truly observe yourself and the world?

--By becoming an active participant, taking an active part in the school's activities and immersing yourselves in them.

--By becoming a determined and down-to-earth doer and assuming your responsibilities in order to achieve your goals.

--By becoming dynamic thinkers, constantly thinking and reflecting every day, thus making progress every day.

--By becoming a proactive undertaker, you can see your differences by taking responsibility actively rather than accepting passively.

Every day we observe ourselves and the world, keep improving and pursuing in order to make a difference to ourselves and to the world!

We hope you enjoy every day at SDA!

同学们认识了自己的任课老师，知道每个老师办公室在哪里？遇到学术问题应该如何正确快速的解决；同学们知道学校有哪些社团、活动，期待早日加入组织；同学们知道自己从低年级开始就踏上了升学之路，学校也将为同学们提供各种各样的探索机会，为升学做好规划；同学们了解了学校的各类规章制度，例如如何请假？电子产品如何规范使用？；同学们认识了心理老师，遇到情绪问题如何及时排解；同学们拥有了在SDA的专属邮箱，了解在ManageBac上如何查询自己的专属课表，如何查看老师布置的任务；同学们听了Jerry Fang同学的剑桥申请历程，了解学长学姐是如何在SDA成为更好的自己，隔着屏幕也要鼓掌，我们也看到了同学们对高中学业生涯的期待与憧憬……

The students have got to know their teachers and to know where each teacher's office is. They knew what clubs and activities are available in the school and look forward to joining them soon; they knew that they are on the path to further education from the lower grades and that the school will provide them with various opportunities to explore and plan for further education; they learned about the various rules and regulations of the school, such as how to take leave? How to use electronic devices according to the rules? They have got to know the psychology teacher and to learn to deal with emotional problems in time. They also learned how to check their own class schedules on ManageBac and how to check their teachers' assignments; they listened to Jerry Fang's Cambridge application process and applauded from across the screen as they learned how their seniors became better versions of themselves at SDA. We also saw the students' expectations and aspirations for their high school academic career ......

Cambridge seniors shared study tips and advice:

很多同学以为A-Level是可以刷题的，也确实有很多同学通过刷题把分数拉得很高，但我不建议大家这么做，否则你将会丢失学科学习的乐趣，效率也会很低。建议大家在课堂上课堂外尽力去理解，例如数学、经济，通过对因果关系的理解来学习，而不是为了考试而学习。

我总结的学习技巧是多看书，不懂的问题多问老师，SDA的老师很乐意帮助每位同学。害羞的新生同学们也不要害怕问问题，可以问朋友，问老师，大胆的走出这一步。

多读书很重要，无论是功利性还是非功利性。功利性来说，例如：英国申请文书需要专业阅读，侧重学科方面的知识，如果没有知识的积累，是很难写出好的文书。非功利性来说，可以根据自己的兴趣进行阅读，尝试感受书中情节的魅力，这是一件很有意义很有趣的事情。

这个建议和我的原则也高度一致：在高中生涯中不要过于结果导向，不要带有太多的功利性。举个我自己的例子，在剑桥大学科学面试准备时，我一直在想如何通过面试，这反而会让我更加紧张，让我的关注点都在面试这件事情上，而忽略了学科面试最初始的目的；后来老师提醒我，把它当成一次和学科领域优秀的人交流和学习的机会，我开始调整自己的心态，用谦逊和好学的态度打动了教授们。

Many students think that they can immerse themselves in exercises on A-Levels, and it is true that many students enhanced their marks by doing so. But I would not advise you to do so, otherwise you will lose the joy of learning the subject and be inefficient. I recommend that you do your best to understand both in and beyond the classes, for example, learning maths and economics require your understanding of causal relationship, rather than your ability to take exams.

My top tips for studying are to read a lot and ask your teachers questions if you don't understand. The SDA teachers are happy to help every student. Don't be shy, try to reach out to your friends and your teachers and take the plunge.

It is important to read more, both for utilitarian and non-utilitarian purposes. For utilitarian purposes, UK application documents require specialist reading, focusing on the subject matter, and it is difficult to write good documents without the accumulation of knowledge. For non-utilitarian purposes, you can read according to your own interests and try to feel the charm of the plot of the book, which is a very meaningful and interesting thing to do.

This advice is also highly consistent with my principle: don't be too result-oriented or utilitarian in your high school career. As an example, when I was preparing for my science interview at Cambridge, I kept thinking about how I was going to pass the interview, which in turn made me more nervous and made me focus on the interview and lose sight of the initial purpose of the subject interview. Then my teacher reminded me to think of it as an opportunity to interact and learn from people who are excellent in their subject area, and I started to adjust my mindset and impress the professors with my humility and hard working.

领取教材，确认课表，做好准备，明天正式上课啦！
