Interviews with Founding students

This year, CISK, founded in 2012, welcomed her 10th birthday. In the past ten years, nearly 500 teachers and students from more than 20 countries and regions have studied and lived at CISK. Among these people, there are some "special" children – founding students.

今年，成立于2012年的CISK，迎來了她的第十個生日。十年間，有來自20多個國家及地區的近五百名師生在CISK學習與生活。而在這群人中，有一些“特殊”的孩子——創校生們。

What does it mean for Annie and Steven, who are only sixth graders this year, to be founding students? CISK has witnessed almost every victory, challenge, loss, and rise again in their study.

對今年才六年級的Annie和Steven 來說，身為創校生，意味著什么呢？CISK幾乎見證了他們在學習生涯中每一次勝利，每一次挑戰，每一次失落，每一次重新站起。

CISK witnessed that they had grown from naive children to outstanding youths. They also witnessed that CISK, the "tree of cultivating people", was slowly flourishing with the fragrance of talents.

CISK見證了他們從天真稚子成長為翩翩少年，他們也見證了CISK這株“育人之樹”慢慢枝繁葉茂，桃李芬芳。

My favorite part of CISK is that the whole school celebrates various Chinese and foreign festivals together. Because during the festival, the school will hold many interesting activities. Let’s take Halloween for example! We planned the Halloween-themed characters we wanted to dress up and bought Halloween costumes in advance. On Halloween, we wore all kinds of scary costumes to school. After taking a group photo of the class, we went to the principal"s office to ask for candy: "trick or treat". We also experienced the scary haunted house prepared for us by senior students. Every time I heard a succession of screams coming from it. This holiday experience is great! I like all kinds of interesting festival activities held by the school very much!

在CISK我最喜歡的部分就是全校一起慶祝各種各樣的中外節日。因為在過節日的時候，學校會舉辦很多有趣好玩的活動。比如說萬圣節！我們會計劃好自己想要裝扮的萬圣節主題的人物，提前買好萬圣節的服裝。等到萬圣節當天，我們會穿著各式各樣恐怖嚇人的服裝來學校。然后拍班級合照，還會去校長辦公室要糖吃，“不給糖就搗蛋”。我們還會去體驗高年級的同學為我們準備的恐怖鬼屋。每次都會聽到從鬼屋里傳來的接連不斷的尖叫聲。這個節日體驗實在是太棒啦！所以我非常喜歡學校舉辦的各種有趣的節日活動！

Steven said:

I like CISK"s charity activities best because I think they are very interesting. We can learn more and exercise our communication skills. The money we earned is used to help the poor to let them buy clothes and food. For example, every year, our school has an activity called Terry Fox, aimed at running for love and hope. All teachers and students participate actively to help the "Terry Fox" Foundation, and to raise funds for cancer research. Personally speaking, I think this activity is very meaningful. Every year, I run many laps on the playground with my friends, striving to give more love.

我最喜歡CISK的慈善活動，因為我認為它很有趣，我們可以學到更多的東西，也可以鍛煉我們的溝通能力。賺到的錢我們用來幫助窮人，讓他們用錢買衣服和食物。例如，我們學校每年都有Terry Fox的活動。為愛和希望而跑，全校師生積極響應，幫助 "Terry Fox "基金會，并為癌癥研究籌集資金。就我個人而言，我認為這項活動非常有意義。每年，我都會和我的朋友們在操場上跑很多圈，爭取獻出更多的愛心。

Q：Did you meet any challenges in your study?

那你們在學習過程中有沒有遇到哪些挑戰呢？

Steven said:

I have entered MYP. In a school year, we will have four summary assessments, which may be speeches, papers, experiments, and exams. The types of summary tests are completely different each time. I think it is very challenging for me because I need to balance the learning of various subjects to get better results. In the learning process of IB, I can"t have the serious problem of partial subjects, which is a challenge for me. However, I believe that if we work hard and communicate with teachers more after class, we can get good results.

我現在進入MYP了，在一個學年里，我們會有四次總結性評估，可能是演講、論文、實驗和考試。每次總結測試的類型都完全不同，所以我認為這對我來說非常具有挑戰性，因為我需要平衡各個學科的的學習才能獲得更好的成績。在IB的學習過程中，我不能有嚴重的偏科，這對我來說是一個挑戰，但我相信只要我們努力學習，課后多和老師溝通，就能得到一個好成績。

Annie said:

Yes. The biggest challenge I met was the exhibition when I graduated from the fifth grade. PYPX will test many of our skills. We will do group tasks together. Although we were working hard, there were still some details that needed to be improved every time. However, after constant modification and effort, we finally completed the exhibition. I feel that this is the biggest challenge I have ever faced.

有的，我遇到的最大的挑戰就是五年級畢業時的畢業展了。PYPX會考驗我們很多項技能，我們在一起做小組任務。盡管我們都很努力地在做，但每次都會有些細節做不到位要改進。然而經過不斷的修改和努力，我們最后終于完成了這個展。我感覺這就是我面臨過的最大的挑戰。

Q: You have embarked on a new journey of MYP, What suggestions do you have for the students who are going to enter MYP?

你們已經踏上了MYP的新征途,對即將加入MYP的學弟學妹們，你們有什么建議呢？

Annie said:

I want to say that I hope you can work harder and study hard. MYP has many interesting things waiting for you, such as my favorite English subject. The class is very active, and the teacher jokes with us in class. We are waiting for you at MYP!

我想對即將加入MYP的學弟學妹說，希望你們可以更加努力，認真地學習。MYP還會由許多有趣的東西等著你們，比如說我最喜歡的英語學科，氣氛很活躍，老師也會在課上跟我們開玩笑。我們在MYP等你們！

Steven said:

Review the content of each lesson and communicate with the teacher in time. My math was not very good before, but my math teacher helped me with math problems after class, which made me get good grades in the recent exam. I believe that if we understand what we don"t understand and listen to the teacher carefully in class, everyone can have grains from MYP. We should also speak bravely in class. Only when teachers find your mistakes in class can you learn more effectively.

一定要復習好上課的內容，及時和老師溝通。我的數學以前不是很好，但我的數學老師每次課后都會利用課余時間幫我做數學題，使我在這次考試中取得了好成績。我認為只要了解自己不懂的地方，上課認真聽老師講課，每個人都可以在MYP有所收獲。而且要勇敢地發言。只有當老師在課堂上發現你的錯誤，你才能更有效地學習。

These are just some wonderful moments during the learning process of the two founding students. CISK is committed to letting each student show themselves. What other wonderful experiences do CISK students have? Coming soon!

這只是兩位創校生學習生涯中的一些精彩瞬間，而CISK致力于讓每一位孩子展現自我。CISK的眾多學子還有哪些美好的經歷呢？敬請期待！
