今年，成立于2012年的CISK，迎来了她的第十个生日。十年间，有来自20多个国家及地区的近五百名师生在CISK学习与生活。而在这群人中，有一些“特殊”的孩子——创校生们。

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.

对今年才六年级的Annie和Steven 来说，身为创校生，意味着什么呢？CISK几乎见证了他们在学习生涯中每一次胜利，每一次挑战，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见证了他们从天真稚子成长为翩翩少年，他们也见证了CISK这株“育人之树”慢慢枝繁叶茂，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我最喜欢的部分就是全校一起庆祝各种各样的中外节日。因为在过节日的时候，学校会举办很多有趣好玩的活动。比如说万圣节！我们会计划好自己想要装扮的万圣节主题的人物，提前买好万圣节的服装。等到万圣节当天，我们会穿着各式各样恐怖吓人的服装来学校。然后拍班级合照，还会去校长办公室要糖吃，“不给糖就捣蛋”。我们还会去体验高年级的同学为我们准备的恐怖鬼屋。每次都会听到从鬼屋里传来的接连不断的尖叫声。这个节日体验实在是太棒啦！所以我非常喜欢学校举办的各种有趣的节日活动！

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.

我最喜欢CISK的慈善活动，因为我认为它很有趣，我们可以学到更多的东西，也可以锻炼我们的沟通能力。赚到的钱我们用来帮助穷人，让他们用钱买衣服和食物。例如，我们学校每年都有Terry Fox的活动。为爱和希望而跑，全校师生积极响应，帮助 "Terry Fox "基金会，并为癌症研究筹集资金。就我个人而言，我认为这项活动非常有意义。每年，我都会和我的朋友们在操场上跑很多圈，争取献出更多的爱心。

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.

我现在进入MYP了，在一个学年里，我们会有四次总结性评估，可能是演讲、论文、实验和考试。每次总结测试的类型都完全不同，所以我认为这对我来说非常具有挑战性，因为我需要平衡各个学科的的学习才能获得更好的成绩。在IB的学习过程中，我不能有严重的偏科，这对我来说是一个挑战，但我相信只要我们努力学习，课后多和老师沟通，就能得到一个好成绩。

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，我遇到的最大的挑战就是五年级毕业时的毕业展了。PYPX会考验我们很多项技能，我们在一起做小组任务。尽管我们都很努力地在做，但每次都会有些细节做不到位要改进。然而经过不断的修改和努力，我们最后终于完成了这个展。我感觉这就是我面临过的最大的挑战。

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

你们已经踏上了MYP的新征途,对即将加入MYP的学弟学妹们，你们有什么建议呢？

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!

我想对即将加入MYP的学弟学妹说，希望你们可以更加努力，认真地学习。MYP还会由许多有趣的东西等着你们，比如说我最喜欢的英语学科，气氛很活跃，老师也会在课上跟我们开玩笑。我们在MYP等你们！

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.

一定要复习好上课的内容，及时和老师沟通。我的数学以前不是很好，但我的数学老师每次课后都会利用课余时间帮我做数学题，使我在这次考试中取得了好成绩。我认为只要了解自己不懂的地方，上课认真听老师讲课，每个人都可以在MYP有所收获。而且要勇敢地发言。只有当老师在课堂上发现你的错误，你才能更有效地学习。

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!

这只是两位创校生学习生涯中的一些精彩瞬间，而CISK致力于让每一位孩子展现自我。CISK的众多学子还有哪些美好的经历呢？敬请期待！
