编者前言：Vivian同学是一位中考考了593.5分，英语单科达146.5分的同学，她也是协和教科BC课程纳入21校后，首位获得双学籍的学生，作为第一个“吃螃蟹”的同学，我们进行了跟踪访谈，想看看她到底适应的如何了。家长最终选择了协和教科就读BC课程，我曾问其父母，您为什么做这样的选择呢？妈妈答：我的孩子是一个非常有自我目标的孩子，她自己说，我想去读国际课程，但是我并不是不能学好才去选择，我想用自己的努力，告诉原来的老师选择就读国际课程的孩子依然也是优秀的。事实证明，Vivian同学在协和教科BC课程中适应地很好，正在向自己的梦想逐步靠近。
Editor's foreword: Vivian is a student who has scored 593.5 points in the high school entrance examination and 146.5 points in English single subject. She is also the first student to obtain dual student status after the BC course of Xiehe Education is included in 21 schools. As the first student to "eat crabs", we conducted follow-up interviews to see how she has adapted. Her parents finally chose Xiehe Education to study the BC course. I once asked their parents, why did you make such a choice? Her mother replied: My child is a very self-aspiring child. She herself said that I want to choose international courses. I want to use my own efforts to tell the previous teacher that the children in the international course are also excellent. Facts have proved that Vivian has adapted well in the BC course of Xiehe Education and is gradually approaching her dream.
对于大部分中国学生而言，按部就班的学习，通过考试进入国内的大学深造是一条极好的道路，而对另一部分同学来说，选择了另外一条路，即带着中国学籍来到国际高中学习，并准备申请国外的大学。
For Chinese students, studying in local schools and taking high school and college entrance exams is the best way for most of them to get into university. However, some students chose another route, they come to the international school with Chinese student status and prepared to apply for universities abroad.
我校BC国际课程部的徐玮联Vivian同学就是这样一位学生，她小学和初中读的均是上海市名校，小学时基本是班级第一，初中一直保持在全班前十的状态。选择高中的时候，她毅然选择了协和双语的BC国际课程部。她说，初中的时候，本来学校有挺多活动的，但到了初三，只剩下日复一日的刷题，生活非常紧张而枯燥，没有时间和空间做自己喜欢的事情，从小喜欢的舞蹈也没有时间继续。想到高三还要再经历一遍，就决定在高中换一个新的学习环境。
Xu Weilian from 11C originally studied in well-known primary and junior high school in Shanghai. When she was in her middle school, her grades have always been in the top ten of the class, and she has always been in the top one of the class in primary school. When this’s time to chose for school, she chose Jiaoke immediately. The reason why she chose the International school in the grade 10 is that in the third year of junior high school, what she did was to study day by day which made her life became very boring. She didn't have time and space to do what she liked. She didn't even have time to continue the dance she learned from primary school. Thinking of going through this kind of again in senior three, I decided to change my learning environment at that time.
她说到：我的家长很支持，本来只准备出国读研究生，现在只不过是把计划提前了。
She said: my parents are very supportive. Originally, she decided to go to study abroad for postgraduate, but now she just advance the plan.
刚从原来熟悉的学校进入一个新的不同课程的学校，相信每个人都会有些不适应。对此问题，她说到：“进入BC国际课程部后，刚开始确实有些不适应。之前，知识基本是老师灌输给你的，作业都是一个人完成的。但是BC课程追求自主学习，还有很多小组的项目，更强调合作。当然，最不习惯的还是交流方式从中文变成了全英文。”她说自己适应新环境的能力不强，但是也仅用了一个月的时间就完全适应了。究其原因，“是九年的义务教育阶段的学习为我打下良好的基础”。她这样说。
I believe that everyone will not adapt to the situation when he/she has just entered an international school from a familiar local school. In this regard, she said: "after entering the BC department, it was really not suitable, because most of the time in the school within the system, the students listen to the teacher's lectures, and the knowledge is basically instilled into you by the teacher, but BC pursues more autonomous learning, there are many group projects, and the way of communication has changed from Chinese to English." Although she mentioned that her ability to adapt to the new environment is not so fast, she took about one month to fully adapt. “It is nine years of compulsory education that has laid a good foundation for me.” She said.
作为曾经在国内课程学习成绩优异的学生，徐玮联同学谈到了原来所接受的教育模式和BC国际课程教学模式的区别。“相对于原来的课程而言的话，在BC课程里我有了更多的时间和选择。”她说，“应试教育的模式，对所有人的标准都一样；而十几门课，哪一门都不可以忽视。BC课程，倾向于发掘每一个同学的特长。供我们选择的课程非常多，文、理、工、商、艺术、医学等，大学里的每一个专业在BC国际课程部都有对应的课程，这样更加有助于突出学习重点，也更有利于让同学们发现和培养自己的爱好和专长。简而言之，BC课程会更加科学化和人性化。”
As a former student in local middle school, Xu Wei Lian (Vivian Xu) spoke about the differences she felt between local school and the international high school."I have more time to try what I like and there are more choices in the BC curriculum." She said, "Under Chinese exam-oriented education, the standard for all students are the same. There are more than a dozen courses, none of which can be abandoned The BC program tends to develop each student's strengths. Our students can choose from a wide range of subjects, including arts, science, engineering, commerce, art and medicine. Each major has its own curriculum, which is more conducive to highlighting the key points and saving time to cultivate our own interests. Also, the BC curriculum is a little more practical than the exam-based education. BC courses will be more scientific and humanized."
她说：“但是在国内课程的学习和参加中考的经历也让我受益匪浅。”“国内课程的学习让我养成了良好的学习习惯，”她说，“比如笔记，在BC，很多情况下，都是要自己整理知识点。而在国内课程，每一科老师都会强调哪些是重点，并告诉我们怎样记好笔记。再比如作业方面，BC课程作业基本上都有一段较长的准备期，短的两三天，长的一两周。我基本上没有在期限之前赶作业的情况。因为原来的作业基本上都是第二天交的，我已经习惯了每个作业布置下来就安排好进度，这样就不会忙乱了。”
"The experience of the Zhong Kao has benefited me a lot." she says." I think that studying in the local school would really help a lot in terms of study habits.” she said, “Just like taking notes. In fact, teachers at international schools don't deliberately write boards or ask us to always take notes. In many cases, it is up to you to organise and summarise your knowledge. However, in junior high school, the teacher of each subject will emphasize the important points and tell us what needed to be taken in the notes. Another thing is the management of time. Basically, assignments were due the next day. But at BC International, there is a longer time between assignment and submission, from a week to two weeks, to two or three days. Basically I haven't had any late assignments, and that's because I'm able to organise how much I should finish each day, so I don't say I'm in a rush to get the assignment in before the submission deadline.
在谈到有转学到国际学校想法的同学时，她表示支持，并给出了宝贵的建议。
When asked about those students who had the idea of moving from the local Chinese institutional teaching system to an international education system, she expressed her support and gave valuable advice.
“对于那些有打算从国内课程转到国际课程的同学，我当然是很支持的。”她点点头，“我给他们的建议是要量力而行和要自律。既然想要通过中考来进入这个学校，首先中考成绩是要达到分数线的。因为这样至少能体现出你有能力在BC国际课程部学习。在BC课程当中，同学们可能会发现，自己的成绩好像可以申请到国外一些比较好的大学，比如多伦多大学或者UBC。但是如果想申请G5的大学可能会要求你在BC课程的基础上增加AP课程。AP课程不管是对于申请大学还是未来在大学里的学习都有很大帮助。还有一点就是，保留中国学籍的同学是要参加高中会考的。这样的话，就是在完成6门BC学术课程的同时，要参加国内高中的会考，要学习AP课程，实际上不像是双轨而更像是三轨了，所以一定要有很好地自觉性和自律才能游刃有余，否则就可能会觉得时间不够用，最终什么都学不好。”
"Well," she nodded, "I am certainly very supportive of those students who have the intention of moving from local schools to international high schools. My advice to them is to live within their means and to be self-disciplined, I guess. In fact, I think that if you want to enter the school through the secondary school examinations, you should first of all get a score above the district key mark. This will at least show that your grades are not particularly bad and that you are capable of studying at BC. In the BC programme, students may find that they can apply to some of the better universities abroad, such as the University of Toronto or UBC, which may require you to add AP courses to the BC programme, which might be benefit both for university applications and for future study in university. Another thing is that students who still have Chinese schooling are required to take the HKCEE, which means that you will have to take the HKCEE as well as the AP courses while completing the 6 BC academic courses. You may not find yourself with that much time, so you must be very self-motivated and self-disciplined to be able to navigate the three tracks of study."
