记2022-2023学年上海青浦区协和双语学校初中部第一学期结业式，律回春晖渐，万象始更新。我们经历了秋的凉爽和冬的严寒，转眼间，这个充满挑战而又极不寻常的一个学期，即将画上句号。2023年1月13日，青浦协和双语学校初中部全体师生齐集线上，召开“协同赋能·和乐成长”2022-2023学年第一学期结业式。
When spring returns, everything will restart fresh. We have experienced the coolness of autumn and the severe cold of winter. In a blink of an eye, this challenging and unusual semester came to a successful end. On January 13th, 2023, all SUIS Qingpu Middle School teachers and students gathered online to hold a Closing Ceremony with the theme of "Collaboration, Empowerment and Harmonious Growth".
回首过去一个学期，57位老师，140多个日夜，我们在校园里写春秋，于方寸中汇风云，虔诚地做好432名学生的文化摆渡人。无论是在校园还是在线上，都留下了我们为梦想而奋斗的身影，每一天都有我们的努力，每一天都有我们的思索，每一天都有我们的成长。
Looking back on the past semester, 57 teachers, over more than 140 days and evenings, have spent great time and devoted much commitment and dedication to our 432 middle school students. Whether our students engaged in offline or online learning, they put their struggles behind them in order to pursue their dreams. We have all gained through our individual and collective efforts, thoughts, and growth.
团队即资源，教师即课程，学习即生活，教育的姿态，就是对生命内涵的追寻。追寻的过程，呈现的就是我们的幸福和美好。因此，它值得我们倾心投入。在过去的一个学期，初中部的同学们在学习之余，积极参与学校各种社团活动，这些活动放松了大家的心情，增进了同学之间的相互了解，丰富了同学们的课余生活，给同学们打开一扇扇心灵之窗，开启一道道知识之门，引领我们走进一个魅力无穷的大千世界。初中部四个年级的学生代表分别和大家分享了学习、生活中幸福和快乐的瞬间，也分享了他们过去一学期的感想与收获。
Teams are resources, teachers are courses, learning is life, and our attitude towards education is shaped from our pursuit of the meaning of life. As the process of that pursuit can improve our happiness and beauty, it deserves our dedication. In the past semester, our middle school students actively participated in various club activities, which opened the doors of knowledge and led them into a world of infinite charm. The student representatives from the four grades shared moments of happiness in their school lives as well as their thoughts about and gains from the past semester.

《这个比赛真好玩》
A Fun Competition
来自六年级的冯逸容、王语瞳、陶韵如同学分享了她们参加世界学者杯的的比赛收获。来自6A班的陶韵如同学说，最初参加这个比赛，她并不是非常自信，因为她不是一个口才非常好或者平时喜欢辩论的选手。但是随着课程的慢慢深入，老师们给予了大量的指导和模拟训练之后，开始渐渐喜欢辩论了。因为你需要快速的思考、流畅的表达、以及找出对方辩手的薄弱环节，同时和你的队友非常默契地配合，这个过程非常令人兴奋也很有趣。她希望同学们以后有机会也可以参加WSC的辩论赛，挑战自己，获得锻炼。
Isabella Feng, Hitomi Wang, and Sophie Tao from G6A shared their achievements in the World Scholars Cup (WSC). Sophie Tao said that she was not confident when she first participated in this competition, because she was not very confident in speaking or fond of debating. As the course gradually deepened, and after the teachers provided a lot of guidance and simulation training, she began to enjoy debating. She said that participants need to think quickly, express themselves fluently, and determine the weak points of the opposing debater, and at the same time cooperate with their teammates. This process was overly exciting and interesting. She hopes that students will have the opportunity to participate in WSC debate competitions in the future and that they would challenge themselves more.

《丰富的体验很幸福》
Enriched Experience
来自七年级的王众迎同学和大家分享了本学期开展的一系列丰富多彩的课程活动，有袋鼠竞赛获得全球金奖的兴奋，还有初中部同学们获得Spelling Bee第七季全国总亚军的激动时刻。她说，与优秀的同学并肩学习不仅充满斗志、勇气，更能感受到成功的喜悦和幸福。中秋节穿汉服，做月饼，午间音乐会为校园传递了“声声不息”的快乐魔法。学习不应该局限于书本，行走课程让大家明白，包容与尊重，也是人生的必修课。篮球赛让大家明白了团队合作的重要性，而通过各种艺术作品得到情绪的抒发与宣泄，让大家更懂得了“艺术是生活的人文表达”这句话。“锲而舍之,朽木不折,锲而不舍,金石可镂”希望大家面对挫折不要气馁，面对困难时有直面他们的勇气。
最后，各班的班主任老师组织学生召开线上班会。语文、数学等学科教师就寒假作业及综合实践活动进行了说明。班主任老师温馨提示同学们在寒假中要做好健康防疫、安全自护、心理调适，遵守相关的法律法规，度过一个安全、健康、收获满满的假期。
Finally, the Tutor teachers for each class helped to organize the students for purposes of holding online homeroom meetings. Core subject teachers explained the winter vacation homework and comprehensive practical activities. The Tutors warmly reminded the students to be pay attention to their health and pandemic prevention, to their safety self-protection, to their psychological well-being, to abide by relevant laws and regulations during the winter vacation, and to spend a safe, healthy and rewarding vacation.
