有著獨特的想法與清晰的定位
不了解Alice的人總會覺得她是一個比較內向的孩子，有著自己的內心小世界。但在負責中美班的語文教學之時，我早就發現她是一個心思細膩，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定和認真，對自身有著清晰的認識和明確的目標?！拔蚁肴ッ绹陌⒛固貙W院，這是我在進入天行之前就定下來的目標。這所學校是全美排名第二的文理學院，知道它的人很少，算是一所比較低調的學校，但是我很喜歡它的學術氛圍與學習環境?！甭牭竭@句話我很驚訝，因為從初中就開始對自己的未來有著思考和規劃的孩子并不多，她算得上是一個非常特別的人?！拔液芟矚g文理學院的上課模式，小班授課。規模小而精，它注重全面素質教育，適合專心學習?！?/p>
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把學習當作一件快樂的事情，她并沒有感到任何壓力，面對繁重的學業反而樂在其中。正如負責中美班托福教學的Michael所說：“Alice獲得托福高分是意料之中的事，她一直是一個雷厲風行的人，做事非常有效率，在學習上有規劃，并且有很清晰的定位和目標，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."
聽說讀寫一項也不能落
找到正確的學習方法很重要
談起這次的托福成績，Alice表示還是挺開心的，“雖然分數過了100，但是還不算特別高，我下次還會繼續努力的，爭取能達到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."
美國阿默斯特學院的托福要求是100分，目前她已經達到了。
The TOEFL requirement of Amherst College in the United States is 100 points. Now she has reached it.
說到平常學習英語的秘訣，她告訴我們：“英語不能單純背單詞，一定要聽說讀結合，就像大家從小開始學習語文的過程一樣。相比其他同學，我更注重口語和聽力的培養，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習方法?！?/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習外國人的全英文演講，在活動結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?！?/span>
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歷
自學能力極強
“在我小升初的時候，發現傳統教育的學習方式并不適合自己，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的環境下學習，Alice的語言表達能力并未因此變差，反而使得她的個性十分突出，她真正的做到了勞逸結合，看書的時候就認真看書，玩的時候就開開心心地玩?！霸诩抑凶詫W，我學習的時間不僅比在學校多，效率還非常高，我會比其他的同學更懂得如何收集有效信息?！?/p>
"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."
她并沒有因為學習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持的教育理念，致力于讓每個學生找到自己喜歡并且適合的方向，尊重每位學生的個性發展。
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
進入天行學習之后，Alice在集體生活感覺到更快樂，“比一個人呆著好很多了，和同學們都處得非常愉快。'隨遇而安'是我很喜歡的四個字，同時也對我的影響很大，我希望不管到哪里我都可以堅持做自己的事情，不能丟了初心，更不能因為環境改變了就無法去做自己想做的事情?！痹谔煨械膬蓚€月的學習生活中，Alice已經很好地適應了新環境，“我喜歡這里的每一位老師，他們都非常負責，與學生亦師亦友，關系非常融洽?！?/span>
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：認為選擇國際學校是為了逃避應試教育，但是Alice笑著說：“其實在國際學校讀書也并沒有想象中那么輕松。我們要學會給自己壓力，有了壓力才能轉換成動力不是嗎？”
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101分的女孩子，她的成功并不是偶然，而是一直以來的堅定和努力造就的。在天行一中，還有很多很多優秀的孩子，他們在這里發光發熱，朝著他們夢想中的世界名校努力拼搏。同時天行也始終為學生提供更優質的教育教學環境，培養學生的全面發展。希望每位學生在天行，都能成為最優秀的自己。
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 ‘all-round development. Hoping that evert student can be the brightest star.
