通過之前12期的“天行學(xué)子系列”文章，我們很容易發(fā)現(xiàn)，天行一中是一個(gè)人才濟(jì)濟(jì)的地方，這里不但有雅思首考7分的學(xué)生，還有托福首戰(zhàn)101分的孩子。
今天這篇“天行學(xué)子系列之十三”的主人公Alice，來自高一三班（中美班），有著非同一般的成長經(jīng)歷，以及非常清晰的目標(biāo)和自我認(rèn)識?？赐赀@篇文章，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)Alice首考托福101分，并不是托誰的福。
在天行一中2019級新生中，無論是我們的牛劍班、中美班、亦或是精英班，都有非常多優(yōu)秀的孩子。在今年首開的中美班中，有這么一個(gè)孩子，托福首戰(zhàn)101分，她就是Alice。今天就跟著小編，一起走進(jìn)她的世界吧。
In Teensen international School, there are many excellent children in our class. In this year's first Chinese and American class, there is such a child who got 101 scores in the first battle of TOEFL examination, her name is Alice. Today, let’s go into her world together.

有著獨(dú)特的想法與清晰的定位
不了解Alice的人總會覺得她是一個(gè)比較內(nèi)向的孩子，有著自己的內(nèi)心小世界。但在負(fù)責(zé)中美班的語文教學(xué)之時(shí)，我早就發(fā)現(xiàn)她是一個(gè)心思細(xì)膩，且很有想法的女孩子，從這次深入的交談中，我更加肯定了自己的想法。她有著不同于他人的堅(jiān)定和認(rèn)真，對自身有著清晰的認(rèn)識和明確的目標(biāo)?！拔蚁肴ッ绹陌⒛固貙W(xué)院，這是我在進(jìn)入天行之前就定下來的目標(biāo)。這所學(xué)校是全美排名第二的文理學(xué)院，知道它的人很少，算是一所比較低調(diào)的學(xué)校，但是我很喜歡它的學(xué)術(shù)氛圍與學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境?！甭牭竭@句話我很驚訝，因?yàn)閺某踔芯烷_始對自己的未來有著思考和規(guī)劃的孩子并不多，她算得上是一個(gè)非常特別的人?！拔液芟矚g文理學(xué)院的上課模式，小班授課。規(guī)模小而精，它注重全面素質(zhì)教育，適合專心學(xué)習(xí)。”
People who don't know Alice always feel that she is an introverted child with her own inner world. But when I was teaching Chinese, I found that she was a delicate and thoughtful girl. From this deep conversation, I affirmed my idea more. She has a clear schedule and goal for her own future, "I want to go to Amherst College in the United States, which is the goal I set before I entered Teensen. This school is the second-highest liberal arts college in the United States, although few people know it. It is a relatively low-key school, but I like its academic atmosphere and learning environment very much.” I'm surprised to hear that, because there are not many children who have thought and planned about their future since junior high school. She is a very special person. "I like the teaching mode of liberal arts and Sciences College very much, especially small class teaching. It pays attention to all-round quality education and is suitable for concentrating on learning.
Alice把學(xué)習(xí)當(dāng)作一件快樂的事情，她并沒有感到任何壓力，面對繁重的學(xué)業(yè)反而樂在其中。正如負(fù)責(zé)中美班托福教學(xué)的Michael所說：“Alice獲得托福高分是意料之中的事，她一直是一個(gè)雷厲風(fēng)行的人，做事非常有效率，在學(xué)習(xí)上有規(guī)劃，并且有很清晰的定位和目標(biāo)，我很欣賞她?！?/p>
Alice regards learning as a happy thing. She doesn't feel any pressure, but enjoys it in the face of heavy study. As Michael, who teaches TOEFL in Chinese and American classes, said, "It's unexpected for Alice to get such a high score.She has always been a very popular person.She works very efficiently, has a clear plan for her study, as well as a clear orientation and goal.I appreciate her very much."
聽說讀寫一項(xiàng)也不能落
找到正確的學(xué)習(xí)方法很重要
談起這次的托福成績，Alice表示還是挺開心的，“雖然分?jǐn)?shù)過了100，但是還不算特別高，我下次還會繼續(xù)努力的，爭取能達(dá)到110分?！?/span>
It's said that reading and writing can't fail at all. It's important to find the right learning method. Alice said that she was very happy about her TOEFL score this time. "Although the score is over 100, it's not very high. I'll continue to work hard next time and try to reach 110 points."
美國阿默斯特學(xué)院的托福要求是100分，目前她已經(jīng)達(dá)到了。
The TOEFL requirement of Amherst College in the United States is 100 points. Now she has reached it.
說到平常學(xué)習(xí)英語的秘訣，她告訴我們：“英語不能單純背單詞，一定要聽說讀結(jié)合，就像大家從小開始學(xué)習(xí)語文的過程一樣。相比其他同學(xué)，我更注重口語和聽力的培養(yǎng)，聽多了就自然能讀懂，讀懂了也自然記住了。我看著有些同學(xué)拿著單詞書死背很痛苦，忘記的也很快，這樣效率便不高。越難的單詞越要去頻繁地使用它，無論在寫作中或者是口語中，最重要的是找到適合自己的學(xué)習(xí)方法?！?/span>
Speaking of the secret of learning English in general, she told us: "English cannot be regarded as simply memorize vocabularies, we must combine listening, speaking and reading, just like the process of learning Chinese from an early age. Compared with other students, I pay more attention to the cultivation of spoken language and listening. If I listen more, I will be able to read and remember naturally. I saw some of my classmates memorized the words painfully and forgot them very quickly, so that the efficiency is low. No matter whatever we study, the most important thing is to find a suitable learning method.
Alice平時(shí)喜歡參加很多有趣的活動，例如上海的各種展覽、書展、樂器展等等?！拔視W(xué)習(xí)外國人的全英文演講，在活動結(jié)束后主動去找他們交談，通過這種方式中便能潛移默化鍛煉我的口語。”
Alice enjoys participating in many interesting activities, like book exhibitions, musical instrument exhibitions and so on. "I will learn all the different ways of speeches of foreigners and take the initiative to talk with them after the event. In this way, I can subtly improve my spoken English."
有非同一般的成長經(jīng)歷
自學(xué)能力極強(qiáng)
“在我小升初的時(shí)候，發(fā)現(xiàn)傳統(tǒng)教育的學(xué)習(xí)方式并不適合自己，過于死板，在與父母商量之后，決定以homeschool的方式接受教育?！痹趆omeschool的環(huán)境下學(xué)習(xí)，Alice的語言表達(dá)能力并未因此變差，反而使得她的個(gè)性十分突出，她真正的做到了勞逸結(jié)合，看書的時(shí)候就認(rèn)真看書，玩的時(shí)候就開開心心地玩?！霸诩抑凶詫W(xué)，我學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)間不僅比在學(xué)校多，效率還非常高，我會比其他的同學(xué)更懂得如何收集有效信息。”
"When I was in my elementary school, I found that the traditional way of learning is not suitable for me, too rigid. After discussing with my parents, I decided to accept education in the way of home school." Learning in the home school environment, Alice's language expression ability did not deteriorate, but made her personality very prominent. She really achieved the combination of work and leisure. She read books carefully while reading, and had fun when playing. "Self study at home, I study more time than at school, and I am also very efficient. I will know how to collect effective information better than other students."
她并沒有因?yàn)閷W(xué)習(xí)而磨滅了其他的天性，和其他女生一樣，她也喜歡音樂、攝影，喜歡一切安靜的事物，鋼琴獲得八級，書法獲得九級。
She did not wear out other natures because of her study. Like other girls, she also likedmusic、photography and all quiet things. She got Grade 8 for Piano and Grade 9 for calligraphy.

更值得一提的是，Alice如此特別的成長經(jīng)歷，也充分論證了因材施教的成功之處。而這正也是天行一中所堅(jiān)持的教育理念，致力于讓每個(gè)學(xué)生找到自己喜歡并且適合的方向，尊重每位學(xué)生的個(gè)性發(fā)展。
What's more, Alice's special growth experience fully demonstrates the success of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. And this is also the educational idea that Teensen adheres to, devotes itself to let each student find the direction that they like and suit, and respects each student's personality development.
喜歡天行的集體生活
喜歡天行的每一位老師
進(jìn)入天行學(xué)習(xí)之后，Alice在集體生活感覺到更快樂，“比一個(gè)人呆著好很多了，和同學(xué)們都處得非常愉快。'隨遇而安'是我很喜歡的四個(gè)字，同時(shí)也對我的影響很大，我希望不管到哪里我都可以堅(jiān)持做自己的事情，不能丟了初心，更不能因?yàn)榄h(huán)境改變了就無法去做自己想做的事情?！痹谔煨械膬蓚€(gè)月的學(xué)習(xí)生活中，Alice已經(jīng)很好地適應(yīng)了新環(huán)境，“我喜歡這里的每一位老師，他們都非常負(fù)責(zé)，與學(xué)生亦師亦友，關(guān)系非常融洽。”
Alice felt happier in the collective life, "better than a person to stay, and students are very happy. "Be at ease with circumstances" is my favorite four words, but also has a great impact on me. I hope that wherever I go, I can persist in doing my own things, not to lose my original intention, not to mention that I can not do what I want to do because the environment has changed. In Teensen's two months of study and life, Alice has adapted very well to the new environment. "I like every teacher here. They are very responsible and have a very harmonious relationship with students, teachers and friends."

很多人對于國際教育存在這樣的誤解：認(rèn)為選擇國際學(xué)校是為了逃避應(yīng)試教育，但是Alice笑著說：“其實(shí)在國際學(xué)校讀書也并沒有想象中那么輕松。我們要學(xué)會給自己壓力，有了壓力才能轉(zhuǎn)換成動力不是嗎？”
Many people have a misunderstanding about international education: they think that international schools are chosen to avoid exam-oriented education, but Alice laughs and says, "In fact, studying in international schools is not as easy as I imagined. We have to learn to put pressure on ourselves, and when we have pressure, we can turn it into power, right?
是的，這位托福首戰(zhàn)101分的女孩子，她的成功并不是偶然，而是一直以來的堅(jiān)定和努力造就的。在天行一中，還有很多很多優(yōu)秀的孩子，他們在這里發(fā)光發(fā)熱，朝著他們夢想中的世界名校努力拼搏。同時(shí)天行也始終為學(xué)生提供更優(yōu)質(zhì)的教育教學(xué)環(huán)境，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的全面發(fā)展。希望每位學(xué)生在天行，都能成為最優(yōu)秀的自己。
Yes, this girl who got 101 scores in the first battle of TOEFL exam, her success was not an accident, but a result of persistence and hard work all the time. In Teensen international School, there are many excellent children who shine here and work hard for their dream of entering the world-famous universities. At the same time, Teensen has always provided students with a better education and teaching environment, and trained students ‘a(chǎn)ll-round development. Hoping that evert student can be the brightest star.
