学部动态

11月25日早7:00国际部美高8年级的孩子们便整装以待，他们伴着清晨最柔和的阳光主持第13周的升旗仪式。8年级是一个由18名同学组成的大家庭，是一个凝聚了青春与梦想的班级，一个汇集了朝气与拼搏的班级，他们团结奋进，自信阳光，每一天都充满意义！尽管早上的气温低至零摄氏度，但这丝毫没有影响孩子们的热情，整个升旗仪式的每一处细节都因庄重而格外耀眼！

下面就让我们一起来感受一下孩子们的国旗下双语演讲：

11月28日是感恩节。感恩是一种歌唱方式，更是一种生活的大智慧。懂得了感恩，学会了感恩，我们才能拥有快乐和幸福。所以再这样一个节日里，我们感恩父母，因为他们给予我们无私的爱；感恩老师，因为他们用尽心血，引领我们成长。但感恩绝不是嘴上说说而已，我们将拿出行动，树立梦想，立志成为一名合格的家国之栋梁。

November 28th is the Thanksgiving Day. Gratefulness is not only a way of singing, but also a great wisdom of life. Knowing how to be grateful, learning to be grateful, these are the ways we get happiness. So during such a wonderful festival, we show greatness to our parents for their selfless love. We show thanks to teachers for their efforts. But gratefulness is not expressed only by words but actions. We must take actions and dream big.

虽然，我们现在还是8年级的学生，但这一直都是我们所不断追求的，我们梦想着能够进入理想的象牙塔，成长为一名有中国灵魂世界眼光的合格的青年!

Although we are still 8th grade students, this is what we are constantly pursuing. We dream of being able to enter the ideal university and grow into a useful youth with Chinese soul and world vision in the world!

我们会在认真思索，全面了解后选择自己想去的异国他乡，去努力学习那吸引着我们的文化与学术；我们也会追随榜样的足迹，去往那充满挑战的校园。

We will carefully think about it and choose a foreign country that we want to go to learn the culture and academics that attract us. We will follow the footprints of models, going to the challenging campus.

下面就让我们跟随8年级优秀学生代表曲若涵Regina、李雨菱Linda一起来听一下他们的演讲《我的留学梦》。

Now let’s enjoy the speeches from Regina, Linda, who are outstanding representatives of Grade 8.

首先有请曲若涵同学，她希望不久之后自己能够通过努力申请到澳大利亚的学校，因为相比美国等国家，她更喜欢澳大利亚的风土民情，喜欢那里的严谨的学术氛围，喜欢那种偏理科的思维模式。

Regina：I have clear goals of future, hoping I can successfully finish the application for universities in Australia. Compared with the United States, I prefer the local traditions and customs in Australia. I like the strong academic atmosphere and science-tilting thinking mode. That’s why I fell in love with mathematics after I came to Weiming ISD. I dream that one day I can be a representative of Chinese students and show our young people’s ability to foreigners. Therefore I will start from very beginning and try my best to strive for a bright future!

接下来，再让我们来听一下李雨菱同学的演讲，感受一下奥克兰大学的魅力，作为新西兰最重要的高等学府之一，那里必将助力李雨菱同学的摄影工作室之梦想！

鲁迅先生也说：“我们从古以来，就有埋头苦干的人，有拼命硬干的人，有为民请命的人，有舍身求法的人……这就是中国的脊梁”。“只要脊梁不弯，没有扛不起的山”。而我们正是“铁肩担道义”的“铁肩”和“脊梁”。

Just as Mr. Luxun said, “Since ancient times, we have people among us who have toiled hard at work; some have ram through obstacles to get things done; some others have pleaded to authority on the needs of ordinary people; many others have pursued truths at all costs.” “As long as the backbone is not bent, there will be no mountains that cannot be shouldered.” It’s we that are the “shoulders” and “backbones” for taking up the responsibility.

所以从明天起，打造你的梦想吧！只有不停地尝试、不停地努力，你才能在最美的时代遇见最好的自己！

So build your dreams from tomorrow! Only by constantly trying and working hard, can you meet the best of yourself in the most beautiful times!
