01 G12 Photography Exhibition
12年级学生摄影展
Mr. Phil Dust
Translated by Mr. Ming Liu
Seniors Andy Jeon and Owen Chen are some of our most talented artists. They currently have an exhibition on display, entitled ‘On The Road; Street Photography.’ The display remained up in our exhibition corridor, through the middle of October, for all to appreciate.
广贝向来重视培养学生的艺术素养。日前，两位才华横溢的12年级学生Andy Jeon和Owen Chen在我校举办了摄影展——“在路上：街头摄影”。很多老师与同学来到了多功能课室外的走廊欣赏他们的作品。
Andy’s side of the exhibition is subtitled ‘Crumbling’ and was shot over a period of two years following Andy’s creative emotions, partnered with the dynamics of his shots, on the themes of instability, incompleteness and decay.
Andy Jeon的摄影展以“破败”为主题，展示了其耗时两年精心拍摄的作品。通过独具匠心的运镜及情感捕捉，他向观众揭示了生活中的变化无常和残缺破败。
Owen, conversely, followed his instincts to capture scenes around Guangzhou subtitled ‘Enclosure’, where he captures monochromatic images of people and the tension between them and their enclosed spaces, always highlighting new and undiscovered areas of our fabulous city.
Owen Chen的摄影展主题则是“封闭”。Owen在广州市内随心抓拍，通过自己的黑白摄影作品来展现人与封闭空间的对立与联系。大家也可以通过他的作品更好地了解广州这座美丽而独特的城市，发掘新奇的去处。
Both these grade 12 students have presented their ideas and artistic interpretation to their peers and staff.
两位了不起的“艺术家”都通过自己精彩的作品向大家展示了他们对艺术的独特见解。
02 HOSA Field Trip
精彩纷呈的探索之旅：走进南方医科大学人体科学馆
G10 Helen Jin
On October 9, 2022, the HOSA Club visited the Human Body Science Museum of the Southern Medical University to celebrate the fourth World Anatomy Day. Over twenty students and their parents participated in the event, ready to explore the mysteries of the human body.
2022年10月9日，广贝HOSA社团参观了南方医科大学人体科学馆，一起庆祝了第四个世界解剖学日。超过二十名学生与家长参与了本次活动，一起探索人体的奥秘。
The Human Body Science Museum of the Southern Medical University is one of the largest life science museums in China. During the visit, we had an opportunity to see the human vessel models displayed via the digital anatomy technology and chat with the "digital human" to find out more about the human body structure.
南方医科大学人体科学馆目前是我国最大的生命科学馆之一。在参观的过程中，我们看到了通过虚拟数字解剖技术展示的人体管道铸型标本，同时也与“数字人”对话，了解了更多人体知识。
Dr. Bi Zhenyu from the Human Anatomy Department, Dr. Mo Yuanxi from the Popular Science Education Association and seven staff volunteers did an intriguing workshop to help us better understand our body and disease prevention. Their sharing inspired us to look further into medical development and think about the meaning of life.
人体解剖学教研室的毕振宇博士、科普教育协会的莫元曦博士与七位志愿者通过一个个典型的案例向我们介绍了人体结构以及疾病预防。我们也借此机会更深入地了解现代医学研究和技术，对生命的意义有了新的感悟。
I knew many people—through the specimens and stories—during the tour. From diseased organs to dead fetuses, death and tragedy are happening every day. The specimens and stories made us realize how important health is: good health is invaluable, and unhealthy lifestyles should be overcome.
在这次的参观中，我“认识”了很多人——通过科学馆中的标本及背后的故事。病变的器官、死去的胎儿……死亡和悲剧似乎离我们非常遥远，但是当我们看到这些标本时，我们深受触动。我们不禁自问：我们是否还能继续放纵自己不好的生活习惯？我们是否应该意识到生命的可贵？
The field trip to the Human Body Science Museum of the Southern Medical University was very meaningful. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the staff members who put together the well-arranged tour and workshop for us. We look forward to our next field trip!
南方医科大学人体科学馆的参观使我们获益良多，非常感谢工作人员的精心安排。让我们共同期待下一次的探索之旅！
03 Prek 2's Visit to HOS Office
可爱的办公室“访客”
Ms. Courtney Watson
Translated by Ms. Cora Lin
Our lovely Pre-K2 students have been inquiring about the topic of community. They have learned about their direct community at home, their family. Now they are learning about their school community at BASIS. They learned by taking different tours to different parts of our campus. Of course, we had to start our school tour from the top, and visit our Head of School, Dr. Smeltzer in her office.
活泼可爱的幼儿部中班学生正在学习“社群”的概念。在了解了自己的亲人后，孩子们把目光锁定在第二个“家”——温暖的广贝。老师们与孩子们制定了详细的校园参观计划，第一站便是校长Dr. Smeltzer的办公室。
The students first talked about who Dr. Smeltzer was before visiting, the Head of School. When they were talking about her, they thought of a few questions to ask her:
在正式参观校长办公室之前，孩子们“采访”了Dr. Smeltzer：
Question 1: Why are you so tall? Dr. Smeltzer’s Answer: Because I am old and I eat my vegetables.
问题1：Dr. Smeltzer，为什么您长得这么高呢？
Dr. Smeltzer：因为我的年纪比你们大，而且很爱吃蔬菜。
Question 2: What do you do all day? (Many of the students thought she played)
Dr. Smeltzer’s Answer: I have 3 important jobs. The first is to make sure you are all safe. The second is to make sure you are learning. The third is to make sure you are happy.问题2：Dr. Smeltzer，您每天都在做什么事情呢？是不是每天都在玩耍？
Dr. Smeltzer：我每天都在保护你们的安全、督促你们的学习、守护你们的快乐。
They were surprised by her responses, and really enjoyed visiting her.
Dr. Smeltzer的回答给了孩子们很多的惊喜，孩子们非常喜欢她。
Dr. Smeltzer did ask them for one favor before the students left: if they ever see her walking around our campus, wave to her and say “Hello, Dr. Smeltzer.”
孩子们离开校长办公室之前，Dr. Smeltzer给他们布置了一个小小“任务”——以后孩子们在校园见到她时，可以朝她挥挥手，并大声说一句：“你好，Dr. Smeltzer！”

05 Grade 9 Literature and Composition Honors English
九年级荣誉文学课：“苏格拉底研讨会”
Mr. Simon Ainsley
Translated by Ms. Bonnie Sun and Ms. Vanessa Huang
On Thursday 13th October, my Grade 9 classes began the first in a series of ‘Socratic Discussions’ where the students debate key themes and plot structures from the texts they are studying. At present, we are reading and analyzing ‘The Joy Luck Club’ – a multi-layered novel and a great example of modern ‘embedded literature’ about the relationships between Chinese-American daughters and their Chinese mothers.
九年级的学生在荣誉文学课堂上开展了一系列精彩的“苏格拉底研讨会”。他们正在研读经典小说《喜福会》，并就其中的主题及情节展开探讨与辩论。《喜福会》是典型的“多故事线”小说，讲述了移民美国的四位中国母亲与其华裔女儿的故事。
The plot dips back and forward in time from 1919 in China up to 1989 in San Francisco and features seven different narrators.
《喜福会》包含了七个人物的视角。从1919年的中国到1989的美国旧金山，从母亲到女儿，小说里穿插着不同年代和不同人物的故事。
The idea of a Socratic discussion is for the students to gain confidence in speaking freely and openly about the text and discussing it with each other whilst the teacher acts as a facilitator for the debate.
我设计“苏格拉底研讨会”的初衷是希望给予孩子们更多畅所欲言的机会，让他们可以自由表达观点，并与其他同学进行思想碰撞。在讨论的过程中，我也会给予他们引导。孩子们可以通过这个活动培养自己的自信心。
By preparing for the discussion through research and having notes and quotes ready from the text and wider sources, the students gain a greater understanding of the novel and literature at large.
学生们在参加“研讨会”前做了大量的准备工作。他们查阅了很多资料，认真阅读了文段，也仔细做好笔记与摘抄。在准备讨论会的过程中，他们对于小说的主题与内容有了更加深入的理解。
Even though this was the students’ first Socratic discussion with me, they impressed me with their preparatory research and the way they were able to build it into the discussion to justify their points (a key skill in G9 Hons Lit and essential for AP Lit). They were also very mannerly and gracious to their fellow debaters and the dialogue flowed in a pleasing manner.
尽管这是孩子们第一次参加“苏格拉底研讨会”，但他们的准备工作以及观点论证给我留下了深刻的印象。观点论证是九年级荣誉文学课学生需要习得的关键技能，对于日后AP文学课的学习非常重要。课上，孩子们在轻松愉悦的氛围中探讨观点，在辩论时也是相互尊重。
There are too many names to mention but of special note was Turbo, who showed all the makings of a top-notch lawyer! Miranda and Constance reflected valuable discussion skills and came well prepared; Momo presented well and had many important points to make; Leo Jin and Ethan Ding displayed innovative thinking; Jorja Miller spoke with confidence and was fully engaged with the topic materials. These are just a few of the many outstanding contributors in Grade 9. BASIS Guangzhou is lucky to have such an excellent cadre of students!
在“苏格拉底研讨会上”，每一位学生的表现都非常出色：Turbo就像是一名顶级律师，意气风发；Miranda和Constance运用了关键的辩论技巧，可以看出他们做了充分的准备；Momo的表现也很亮眼，提出了许多重要的观点；Leo Jin和Ethan Ding展现了他们的创新思维；Jorja Miller的发言充满自信，充分利用了自己所收集的资料。这只是其中的一些例子，我们非常幸运可以遇到如此多才思敏捷的学生。
The discussions were a great success and I look forward to more in the future.
此次的“苏格拉底研讨会”非常成功。期待以后有更多类似的活动！
