很多人對國際學校春季班存在誤解，有些人認為選擇國際學校的春季班是為了逃避即將到來的中考，也有人認為是因為難以完成傳統教育。但事實是怎樣的呢？今天這篇“天行學子系列之十六的作者是來自高一五班（春季班）的王勁舟Stephen，他用自己的親身經歷告訴大家為何選擇春季班，在他看來入讀天行春季班是他學習生涯中非常正確的選擇。
大家好，我是來自高一五班的王勁舟，今天我要分享的是我入讀春季班的收獲。半年前，我與各位同學一樣，馬上步入初三下學期，在此之前，我已經萌生了出國留學的想法。
Hello, everyone. I'm Wang Jinzhou from class 15 of senior high school. Today I want to share the harvest of my spring class. Half a year ago, like all my classmates, I immediately entered the second semester of junior three. Before that, I had the idea of studying abroad.
春季班的學生都會提前學習IGCSE的課程，為接下來的AS階段的課程夯實良好的基礎，春季班的學習也不會與即將到來的中考產生沖突和影響，可以說是一個完美的過渡期。
Students in spring class will learn IGCSE courses in advance, which will lay a solid foundation for the courses in the next as stage, and will not conflict and influence with the upcoming mid-term examination in spring class. It can be said to be a perfect transition period.
去國外留學最重要的一點便是語言。對于語言方面，中國人屬于傳統教育，也就是我們口中所說的應試教育，很多同學對英語只有最基礎的語法概念，并沒有實際交流的經驗，而且周圍的學習環境都是用母語交流，所以很多家長選擇國際學校都會有所顧慮，認為自己的孩子在國外學習與生活中不能準確表達自己的意思和所謂的專業詞匯。但是在天行一中這所國際學校中，學生和老師攜手共創了一個良好的英語交流環境。
The most important thing to study abroad is language. In terms of language, Chinese belong to the traditional education, which is the exam oriented education as we say. So for many students, there is only the most basic grammar concept for English, and there is no practical exchange experience, and the surrounding learning environment is the mother tongue exchange, so many parents choose international schools I think my children can't express their own meaning and so-called professional vocabulary accurately in their study and life abroad. But in the International School of Teensen, students and teachers have created a good English communication environment together.
以我為例，去年的這個時候，我偶然聽說了天行一中有著大多數國際學校沒有的春季班。于是，我和我父母商量了下，決定來到這里學習?；貙W校之后，我們班的同學問我，你是不是因為不想中考才去那里的，是不是覺得自己學不下去了才去那里的。我總是會回答他們其實不是，是因為我想出國，想去讀世界前100的名校才選擇了天行一中的春季班。
Take me for example. At this time last year, I overheard that there are spring classes in Teensen that most international schools don't have. So I discussed with my parents and decided to come here to study. When I got back to school, my classmates asked me if you went there because you didn't want to take the middle school entrance examination, or if you thought you couldn't go there. I always answer that they are not. It's because I want to go abroad and study in the top 100 schools in the world that I choose the spring class of Teensen.
放寒假的時候，我收到了春季班的錄取通知書，我與春季班的緣分就此開始了。在開學前一天的晚上，我還有點擔心，擔心我做的這個決定是否正確。我還在問我媽，我的英文又不是特別的好，會不會很難學懂？我媽就對我說：“只要你認真學就不會難到哪里?！痹疚疫€很擔心未知的學業，但聽完這句話之后，我也給自己鉚足了勁去迎接新的挑戰。
During the winter vacation, I received the admission notice of spring class, and my fate with spring class began. On the night before the start of school, I was a little worried about whether I had made the right decision. I still ask my mother, my English is not very good, will it be difficult to understand? My mother said to me, "as long as you study hard, it won't be difficult." Originally, I was worried about the unknown academic, but after listening to this sentence, I also riveted myself to meet new challenges.
經過一個星期的學習之后，我發現，其實也沒有我想象的那么難。上課沒學懂的地方下了課也可以去找老師做免費的一對一office time。我們上課也會分成小組一起討論自己不懂的問題，一些同學非常樂意幫助那些基礎比較薄弱的同學。
After a week of study, I found that it was not as difficult as I thought. After class, you can go to the teacher to do free one-on-one office time. We will also be divided into groups to discuss problems we don't understand in class. Some students can also help those students with weak foundation.
我在天行學習的這段時間以來，我能夠深切地感受到自身英語水平的顯著提高，尤為體現在我的閱讀方面，因為選擇國際學校所面臨的就是全英文的教材及課后所要完成的作業。在口語方面，眾所周知，中國式英語已經成為了許多海外留學生的一大詬病，chinglish的表達會極大影響學生在國外的日常學習與生活。在我看來對于學生來講想要取得自己心目中最理想的成績，需要付出比以往更多的時間與努力。
Since my time in Teensen study, I have been able to feel the significant improvement of my English level, especially in my reading, because the choice of international schools is faced with all English textbooks and assignments to be completed after class. As we all know, Chinglish has become a major criticism of many overseas students. The expression of Chinglish will greatly affect students' daily study and life abroad. In my opinion, students need to pay more time and effort to achieve the most ideal results than before.
總的來說，經過在春季班這半年的磨合中我已經完全適應了國際教育的節奏，同理，我也相信經過天行未來三年對我的歷練之后，我能更好的適應國外全英文的學習與生活環境。在這里的學習可以讓我有更多的時間去選擇自己喜歡的課程還有社團活動，這樣也可以豐富我們的課余生活，提高我們的生活修養，以及培養更加自律的學習習慣。我覺得選擇天行一中的春季班使我收獲頗豐，而且我認為這是我學習生涯中非常正確的一次選擇。
In general, I have fully adapted to the international education in Teensen after half a year's running in of spring class. Similarly, I also believe that I can better adapt to the learning and living environment of English in foreign countries after three years of experience of Teensen. The study here can give me more time to choose my favorite courses and community activities, which can also enrich our after-school life, improve our life accomplishment, and cultivate more self-discipline learning habits. I think choosing the spring class of Teensen makes me gain a lot, and I think it is a very correct choice in my study career.
我的分享到此結束，謝謝大家！
