最近陆陆续续在后台收到了很多留言,发现不少学生及家长对国际学校充满好奇,很多人想了解什么是国际教育及国际生,也好奇在天行一中学习是怎样的感受。其中有个读者留言道:“国际学校的课程和普高完全不一样,不知道难易程度如何,孩子好接受不?”今天这篇“天行学子系列之六”的作者将通过分享自身的经历,为我们解答这些问题。
各位老师、同学们:
Dear teachers and friends
大家早上好!我是来自高二一班的付艺菲。很高兴能作为老生代表和大家交流,共勉。首先我代表全体高二高三的学长学姐们欢迎新生的到来。人初到一个陌生的环境,千愁万绪总有一缕会分给好奇心。想必在座的学弟学妹们也对天行充满好奇。所以我这次演讲的目的,一是为了纠正外行对国际教育与国际生的“传统定义”,二是谈谈自己在天行学习了一年多的感受。
Good morning , I am YiFei Fu from class 1 senior 2. It is my greatpressure to stand here to communicate with you as a senior. Firstly, on behalfof all the students, I will come the arrival of new students, there is no doubtthat people are always curious about strange surroundings, I guess that most ofyou are curious about Teesen International School, so today I'm going to talkabout 2 main purposes. first one is to correct the traditional definition ofinternational education and international students by layman. Second one isshare the experience and the feeling I got from Teesen for one year.

时光荏苒,白驹过隙。一年时光飞逝,快而充实。回忆起来,就仿佛在欣赏一部情节跌宕的电影,真实而戏剧。
One year is so short. In retrospect, it'slike enjoy a movie with wonderful storyline real but dramatic.
故事的开头,也是我高中生活的开始。2018年6月的中考风波平息后,我放弃了月底的那次毕业旅行,拖着行李箱转而投入了龙虎山的怀抱,开始了四天三夜的天行一中成长体验营。那是我在天行参加的第一个活动,令我印象很深。极限挑战和团队合作的完美结合使我在个体与集体的责任中不断切换,那是我人生第一次从一个在集体中只甘于平凡的女孩变成了一个团队的leader,我第一次战胜了内心那个只会满足于默默无闻的狂魔。
At the beginning of the story, it is also thebeginning of my high school life. After I finished the important examination inJuly. I gave up the Graduation trip. Then I chose go to longhu mountain,in order to join theTeesen activity for four days. since itis the first activities I joined inTeesen, it is impressive for me.Especially for the perfect combination ofextremely challenge and the teamwork , that is the first time I became aleader, not a normal girl,I conquered my inner demon, who would only be contentwith obscurity.

紧接着,高一生活便在八月拉开了序幕。在得知整个学期的学习计划安排后,不知道你们的第一感觉是不是和我一样——我觉得国际班并不比普高生活轻松。职业规划是高一的首要任务,其次是确定A-level的选科与两次CIE大考的时间,同时雅思或托福作为大学申请唯一的语言成绩也不容小觑。除此之外,学校里五花八门的活动也不可胜数:职规课程、职业小组、见习任务、社团活动、名师讲座、招生官见面会、学术竞赛、交换生项目、研学之旅……但正是这些看似无意但实际上却在为大学文书背景提升积累着素材的活动,使我们从繁重的学业中脱身,得到放松,养精蓄锐,再投入下一阶段紧锣密鼓的学业中去。
Then, high school life began in August. After I knew the wholesemester's study plan, I am not sure whether your first feeling is same asmine. I disagree the internationaleducation is easier than traditional education. Career planning is the firstmain task of senior high school, followed by choice about a level's subjectsand two CIE examinations. At the same time, IELTS or TOEFL, as the onlylanguage achievement for University applications, should not be underestimated.In addition, there are numerous activities in the school: vocational rulescourses, vocational groups, probation tasks, community activities, lectures byfamous teachers, meeting of admissions officers, academic competitions, exchangeprograms, study tours... Although it is these seemingly unintentionalactivities , actually it accumulate materialfor applying the university, so that we can get rid of the heavy study, releasepressure and then invest in the next stage of intensive learning more energetic.

天行有句名言,叫做“有时候,选择大于努力。”当选择了一门适合自己的科目,一个适合自己的专业,一个适合自己的目标大学,在付出相同努力之后,在很大概率上,收获是更多的。就像选择国际班,这无疑与传统是背道而驰的。但在这里,我们的选择比普高的学生要多。我们可以在众多的专业中提前选择最适合自己的,只有这样,在接下来努力的过程中,我们才不会迷茫。因为每一天的努力,从来都不只是为了在下一次的测试中取得好成绩,而是为了最终的那个梦想。
Teesen has a famous saying, "Sometimes, choices outweighefforts." After choosing suitable subjects, a suitable specialty and asuitable target university, after the same efforts, we can get more rewards.It's like choosing an international education , which is definitely contrary to tradition. But here, we havemore choices than traditional students. We can choose the most suitable one inadvance among many majors, only in this way, we will not be confused in theprocess of next efforts. Because every day's efforts, never just to achievegood results in the next test, but for the ultimate dream.

国际教育并不总是被逼迫感所充斥,换句话说,这就意味着对“自律”二字更加强烈的需求。你可以选择安于现状,轻松地完成老师布置的基础任务便随遇而安,也可以选择用这宝贵的三年逼自己一把,把自己狠狠地推出舒适圈,去迎接更大的挑战。我相信每一个优秀的人,都是渴望并且抓住机会锻炼自己、渴望在蜕变的痛苦之后破茧成蝶的。换言之,他们喜欢“找虐”,并享受其过程。因为他们明白,只有不断去做自己不想做的事情,生活才会向前,才会离梦想更近一步。就如路遥所说,“生活是靠自己奋斗出来的,不需要别人来安排。”作为年轻的一代,我们需要不断地向上攀爬,这是青春赋予我们的使命。青春是一种稀有资本,我们的任务则是高攀着它阔首昂扬地去赢取资格。希望在座的学弟学妹们在此种下心愿,为此拼搏,不负韶华;希望高二高三的同学们不忘初心,方得始终。
International education is not alwaysfilled with a sense of coercion. In other words, it means a stronger need forthe word "self-discipline". You can choose to be content with station,easily complete the basic tasks assigned by the teacher and be at ease. You canalso choose to use those precious three years to force yourself to pushyourself out of the comfort zone to meet greater challenges. I believe thatevery excellent person is eager and seizes the opportunity to exercise themselves,eager to break cocoons into butterflies after the pain of metamorphosis. Inother words, they like to "find abuse" and enjoy the process. Becausethey understand that only by constantly doing what they don't want to do, lifewill move forward and be closer to their dreams. As Lu Yao said, "Life isa struggle of its own, and no one else is required to arrange it." As ayoung generation, we need to climb up constantly, which is the missionentrusted to us by youth. Youth is a kind of scarce capital, and our task is toclimb it to win qualification. I hope that all students can find your dreamsand try to achieve .I hope that the students of Senior Two and Senior Threewill never forget their first intention until they achieve.

To end up,all i would like to say is internationaleducation is an investment instead of a consumption.Follow your heart andredefine image of international student who are used to be the person who no one imagine anything of,because that sometimes it’s the people who no one imagine anything of ,who do thethings that no one can imagine.
