春回大地，万物复苏，我们送走了牛年而迎来了虎年的降临，也迎来了新的学期。开学第一天，星校师生在大礼堂里进行了激动人心的开学典礼暨表彰大会。

在新的学期里，同学们一定期待着自己能有更大的进步，突破自我。六年级的严艺匀同学，向台下的每一个人分享了她过去的收获和进步的喜悦。她说，刚来星校时的她苦于语言上的障碍，变得羞涩不爱说话，但慢慢地通过大量阅读，认真听讲，最终厚积薄发，在这里的每一天，她都努力尝试超越昨天的自己，是星校见证了她的蜕变。进步是同学们新学期的目标，正如严艺匀同学的经历一样，不要因为起点而失落，只要在新的学期，每天都能进步，就一定能够会当凌绝顶。

接下来，八年级的朱沐滢同学通过她辩论的经历，激励我们勇于尝试。她回忆自己过去挑战辩论的经历，从一开始她尚未接触时的畏惧到后来逐渐精通，并乐在其中，她体会到了勇于尝试的重要性，并鼓励同学们也能够在学习和爱好的路上大胆地迈步向前。

而九年级的陈诺同学，分享了自己的阅读经验与技巧，她强调，多用泛读的方式，可以快速提升自己的词汇量以及专业能力。而当阅读量达到一定程度后，你会发现自己已经爱上了阅读，这也会成为自己纾解压力的一种方式，良性循环下，进步就是水到渠成的事了。

随后，陆雅茹老师激励同学们在新的一年中超越自我，养成阅读的习惯，日有所思，夜有所诵。没有一个人是完美的，每个人都应当在新的学期中有所进步。

听完四位师生振奋人心的发言，相信同学们也能在全新的学期里乐观地迎接挑战，扶摇直上。

如果说师生们的分享和寄语是对新的一年的展望期待，那么令同学们望眼欲穿的学期表彰是对同学们过去硕果累累的赞美。每个年级优秀的同学都排成一队，欢欣鼓舞的从马校长手里接过镌刻着自己荣誉的奖状。学习优秀奖，学习进步奖，礼仪之星，体育之星，凝聚着同学们各方面付出的汗水，一张张璀璨的笑脸洋溢着的都是自豪和欢悦。班级的奖项也同样是让人期待已久的，每个班级的集体荣誉都时刻记录着一个集体的进步和团结，每个用心去参与班级事务的人都是这个奖项当之无愧的获得者。

开学典礼在同学们的鼓掌声和领奖的兴奋中落下了帷幕，新的学期将在希望中缓缓展开，祝福所有的师生们都能在新的学期里虎虎生威，势不可挡。

The first day of the school semester started with excitement and joy. On February 16th, the opening ceremony of the spring semester was excitedly held at the school auditorium.

Several of our school mates shared their experience and thoughts as they grow more mature and step into a new semester. Anna from 6-5 shared her fruitful learning experience and concluded that we should not give up ourselves in front of challenges and difficulties at the start.

Kathy from 8-4 shared her experience of debating. From being craven to later becoming bold and audacious, she tasted the treasure of being courageous when facing unfamiliar and challenging things.

Iris from 9-5 talked about the benefits and ways of reading. She emphasized that reading frequently and widely can not only help us improve academic scores, but also help us discover our interests.

The speeches ended with Ms. Lu Yaru’s speech. She encouraged us to have more confidence in ourselves. No one is perfect, and everyone can become a better version of himself / herself as long as we keep working hard every day.

Finally came the awards ceremony! Outstanding students in different areas were invited onto the stage and awarded. Congratulations to all of them!
