MEP班学生专访:”为什么选择来上海美达菲学校读书？”

THE MACDUFFIE SCHOOL

EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION SINCE 1890

MEP(MacDuffie Elite Program)项目为上海美达菲团队组建的培英项目，在传承美达菲“怀中国心，做世界人”的办学理念及六大核心价值观的同时，同样以全人教育作为培养理念，以申请欧美名校作为升学目标。MEP项目在上海美达菲原有的课程体系上进一步的资源整合，打造出了一只由校长引领的教学团队，由三位校长亲自授课。

MEP (MacDuffie Elite Program) is an elite program established by Shanghai MacDuffie team. While inheriting MacDuffie 's educational philosophy of " International vision with a Chinese heart " and six core values, MacDuffie also takes holistic education as its training philosophy and aims to apply for admission to prestigious universities in Europe and the United States. The MEP project further integrates resources from the original curriculum system of Shanghai MacDuffie, creating a teaching team led by the principal and taught by three principals.

Interview with Shanghai Macduffie MEP class students

现在你选择了哪些课程?给你带来了哪些挑战和改变?

What courses are you taking now? What challenges and changes did it bring to you?

陈思颜 Mia

我现在学习的是IGCSE课程，到高二之后才会选课，我想在高二的时候选择IB这一课程，因为首先IB是全球认可的，我现在并没有一个明确的申请国家，第二个是IB是有一定的挑战性，我也想挑战一下自己的极限，所以说我想选IB。

I am learning IGCSE courses, because I only need to select my route at Grade 11, and I want to choose IB as it is globally recognized. I don't have a clear goal to apply for a certain country at the moment. Secondly, IB is challenging, and I also want to challenge myself, so I want to choose IB.

有没有什么比较好的学习方法可以推荐给想要提高成绩的同学?

Is there any good study method that can be recommended to students who want to improve their grades?

陈思颜 Mia

如果你遇到一些不会的知识点的话，可以主动去问老师，当然你也可以在学校晚自习有学术知识课的时候，去到老师那边让老师给你讲解一些上课可能没有太听明白的知识点。

If you encounter some knowledge that you don't know, you can take the initiative to ask the teacher. Of course, you can also ask the teacher to explain these that you may not understand in class when you have study hall at night.

有什么建议可以给到正在备考国际学校或者上海美达菲学校的同学呢?

What advice would you give to students who are studying for an international school or Shanghai MacDuffie School?

陈思颜 Mia

我的建议就是要有一个很好的语言基础，因为国际学校上课的时候全部都是全英语环境的，如果有一个很好的语言基础，你就不会听漏一些知识点或者处于听不懂的状态，在做题方面也会更加轻松一点，这样的话可以拿更多的分数提升自己的成绩。

My advice is to have a good language foundation, because when the international school arel full of English environment, and with a good language foundation, you won't lose the focus, or misunderstand in class. It will be easier to solve the problem, and improve the academic performance.

沈俸伊 Cindy

我是因为家庭缘故，原先的学校离家太远，而且我比较恋家，所以就选了一个离家比较近的学校，我是有在其他网站或公众号上看过美达菲的介绍，然后觉得活动很丰富，住宿环境很好，也是小班制教学不会有学生太多老师忽略你的这种情况，所以选择了上海美达菲。

Because my family is too far from my previous school, and I was homesick, so I chose MacDuffie, which is closer to my home, I have seen MacDuffie’s introduction on other websites and the public accounts, and then found the activities are very rich, the accommodation environment is very good, and also the small-sized classes will guarantee my learning expeerience, so I choose Shanghai MacDuffie.

现在你选择了哪些课程?给你带来了哪些挑战和改变?

What courses are you taking now? What challenges and changes did it bring to you?

沈俸伊 Cindy

我们现在还没有选科，因为是11年级开始选课，所以我的目标是IB，因为说句实话，我还没有想好以后会去哪所学校或者哪个国家，所以IB它是两边都能算成绩，不像A-level你基本上就去英国了，然后IB的话难度很大，含金量也很大，所以挑战他很难。

So far we have not chosen the route, because it will be until grade 11, and my goal is IB, because to be honest, I haven't determined which school or country I will apply for, so the IB is more inclusive, unlike A-level focusing on England. Then the IB is difficult, and I would like to face the challenge.

有没有什么比较好的学习方法可以推荐给想要提高成绩的同学?

Is there any good study method that can be recommended to students who want to improve their grades?

沈俸伊 Cindy

我的学习方法就是刷题，刷题刷到手感，刷出手感之后就会感觉这道题好像没有那么难，刷出来之后一般就不要再刷了，因为很浪费时间。

My learning method is to practice more, and to practice until I am familiar with all the questions.

目前的个人目标和未来规划是什么?在实现梦想的道路上做了哪些努力?

What are your current goals and future plans? What efforts have you made to realize your dream?

沈俸伊 Cindy

一定要说有规划的话，那就是考个好学校，考个好大学，努力、上进，成为家里的骄傲。

There must be a plan, that is to be enrolled to a good university, work hard, progress, and to become the pride of the family.

当时我妈妈带我来这边参观，最吸引我和妈妈的一点就是，当时校长在介绍的时候说到我们在晚自习期间会有专门的学术指导，而我之前一直是在国际学校读书没有这方面的训练也没有怎么做过题，所有的基础就比较薄弱，这种学术指导对于我来说就刚刚好可以让我在晚自习期间，把上课没有听懂的知识点还有一些不会的作业向老师请教明白。

At that time, my mother brought me here to visit. At that time, the principal said that we would have academic guidance during the study hall. I had been studying in an international school and did not have much training in this aspect and did not do many exercises, so my foundation was relatively weak. This kind of academic guidance is just right for me, so that I can ask the teacher for some knowledge points that I did not understand in class and some homework that I did not understand during the study hall.

崔瀚文 Amanda

其实我平常没有那种很死记硬背的习惯，我最主要的就是看书吧，因为我差不多从一岁多很小的时候就在看书，那个时候还没有学会走路就趴在床上看看书，这个习惯当然也一直保持到现在，因为我们现在是在国际学校，要多看一些英文书，这样不需要死记硬背也可以掌握很多英文单词，增加自己的词汇量，而且也能帮助你在无意识之间就把语法给学会了。

Actually I usually don't have that rote learning habit, and the most important is reading a book, because I have been reading a book when I was one year old, and of course, the habit is also kept until now. Because we are now in the international school, we should read more English books. This will increase the vocabulary without rote memorization, and will help us pick up grammar without even realizing it.

What advice would you give to students who are studying for an international school or Shanghai Meidafei School?

崔瀚文 Amanda

毕竟是国际学校，所以英语还是很重要的，那么除了阅读之外，我认为口语还是很有必要练习一下的，就像我小时候的幼儿园环境非常好，几乎所有的同学都是英国或者美国来的，就导致我的口语现在也是非常不错，我认为平时多与外国友人对话练习或者看一些英文电影之类的都可以很好帮助我们。

After all, it is an international school, so English is very important. Besides reading, I think it is necessary to practice oral English. For example, the kindergarten environment is very good when I was young, and almost all my classmates are from Britain or America, so my oral English is very good now. I think more conversations with foreign friends or watching some English movies and so on can help us very much.

现在你选择了哪些课程?给你带来了哪些挑战和改变?

What courses are you taking now? What challenges and changes did it bring to you?

王旭岳 Ken

我日后准备选择A-Level课程，因为首先我知道A-Level课程它主要是面向英国的，我将来的目标就是英国G5大学，我听说A-level它的考试主要是偏学术方面的，所以我觉得学好一些具体的知识应该是最大的挑战吧。

I plan to choose A-level courses in the future, because first of all, I know that A-level courses are mainly for the UK, and my future goal is G5 University in the UK. I heard that A-level exams are mainly academic, so I think it will be the biggest challenge to learn some specific knowledge.

分享一些对你影响最深的社团活动。

Share some club activities that have influenced you the most.

王旭岳 Ken

我目前加入了两个社团，其中加入的心理社团，我们心理老师是一个非常优雅并且文质彬彬的人，他最近正在领导我们排练一个心理剧表演，我们社团中的每个人都得到了适合自己的角色，并且这样的心理剧富含一些哲学色彩，让我们受益匪浅。

I currently join two clubs, which are the psychological community. Our psychology teacher is a very elegant and gentle lady, she is leading us to rehearse a psychological drama, and everyone in our club get the suitable role, and the psychodrama contains some philosophy, and let us benefit a lot.

目前的个人目标和未来规划是什么?在实现梦想的道路上做了哪些努力?

What are your current goals and future plans? What efforts have you made to realize your dream?

王旭岳 Ken

我现在有一个梦想就是将来成为为国效力的外交官，我从现在开始就努力学习英语，并且读了很多有关中国历史和党史的书，希望以后在大学毕业后我可以回到祖国，考取外交学院，争取当一个合格的外交官。

Now I have a dream to be a diplomat serving my country in the future. I have been studying English hard since now, and I have read a lot of books about Chinese history and Party history. I hope I can come back to my country after I graduate from university and pass the examination of China Foreign Affairs University to become a qualified diplomat.
