关于Elly | About Elly

Elly

　　亚加达国际预科2021年准毕业生

　　Elly来自柬埔寨，16岁时来到中国。她性格活泼、志向远大、富有同情心且勤奋，是正在AIC完成IBDP文凭课程的一位优秀的国际学生。

　　Elly came to China from Cambodia when she was 16 years old. She is bubbly, ambitious, compassionate and hardworking. As one of our overseas students with excellent academic performance, Elly is currently completing the IBDP program at AIC.

　　回顾起在AIC的生活，Elly表示:“我喜欢这里的校园生活，很感恩有机会和一群很棒的人相处，因为他们，我感到我属于这里。”

　　Reflecting on her life at AIC, Elly said “I love the campus life at AIC. I am so grateful for the opportunities and beyond blessed to meet all of these amazing people because they made me feel like I belong here.”

　　“学校老师们非常支持和理解我们，他们让我们的课堂时光过得很愉快，而且每周都会在学校组织有趣的活动。”

　　“My teachers have been super supportive and understanding. They made class enjoyable and would organize fun events and activities around school almost every week.”

　　“我们的住宿顾问让我感觉这里就是家。他们心思周到、善良还很有趣。”

　　“Our residential advisors made me feel at home. They were thoughtful, kind-hearted, and fun to be around.”

　　“讨论问题时，国际学生们总能抛出新的观点，我喜欢学习他们的文化。我的室友和同学们都很真诚，友善和乐于助人。我在学校遇到任何困难，他们都愿意帮助我。”

　　“The international students always bring new perspectives into each discussion, and I love learning about their cultures. My roommates and classmates are genuine, friendly, and helpful. They are always willing to help if I faced any difficulties at school.”

　　在AIC学习这段时间，Elly展现出了全面提升个人综合素质的能力。她除了努力完成自己选修的英语、中文、环境科学、数学、戏剧及视觉艺术这六门DP课程，还踊跃地参加CAS实践及学校组织的各项活动。

　　Elly has demonstrated her ability to be a well-rounded student during her time at AIC. She has not only worked hard to complete the 6 DP courses she selected, including English Language and Literature, Chinese Ab Initio, Environmental Systems and Sciences, Mathematics, Theatre, and Visual Arts, but has also actively participated in CAS activities and engaged in various extracurricular activities.

　　她参加了全球青少年演讲挑战赛和ASDAN模拟商赛，将课堂所学付诸实践。

　　She has taken part in The Global Youth Challenge and the ASDAN Business Simulation, putting what she has learned in class into practice.

　　她还与同学们一起到校外偏远地区进行支教。

　　She has also travelled to remote areas outside school to support learning in local communities with her classmates.

　　此外，爱好广泛的她，还积极地参加学校组织的排球运动和音乐活动。

　　In addition, she has a wide range of hobbies and actively participates in volleyball and music activities organized by AIC.

　　Elly表示，参加这一系列丰富的课外活动不仅让她收获了实实在在的成长，也让她的简历更丰富。

　　According to Elly, having such a wide variety of extracurricular experiences has not only helped her grow as an individual but also boosted her CV.

　　此外，Elly还利用居住在广州的这段时间，四处游览探访，能深入学习和了解中国文化，也是她爱上在AIC学习的重要原因。

　　Elly has also taken advantage of the time she lived in Guangzhou to travel around to learn and understand the Chinese culture in depth, which is also an important reason why she fell in love with studying at AIC.

　　疫情期间，作为一名IB学生，Elly面临繁重课业，想要保持优异的在校成绩，压力巨大。她无法入境，不能回校上课。但她努力地克服困难，调整自己以适应环境，并坚持和老师保持密切沟通，进行线上学习。是这种困难面前不退缩的态度，让她最终如愿获得心仪大学的录取。

　　During the pandemic, as an IB student, Elly faced significant amount of schoolwork and pressure to continue excelling at school. She was unable to return to campus for study due to border closures. However, she adapted and persevered through these challenges, kept contact with her teachers and participated in online learning. Owing to her never-back-down attitude, Elly has received this offer from her dream school.

　　在此之前，Elly还已经收到多伦多大学提供的2.5万加币/年的奖学金录取，特伦特大学1万加币/年的奖学金录取，阿尔伯塔大学9千加币的奖学金录取，以及她所申请的5家英国知名院校全都向她发出了录取函。

　　Elly has also received offers from the University of Toronto with a scholarship of 25,000 CAD/year, Trent University with a scholarship of 10,000 CAD/year, 9,000 CAD from University of Alberta, and a 100% acceptance rate from her UK applications (5/5 universities).

Elly的经验分享 | Sharing from Elly

　　申请大学时，Elly在选择专业和学校方面有自己独立的想法。

　　When it comes to university application, Elly was quite an independent individual regarding choosing majors and schools.

　　“要尽早开始，且对过程充满信心”，是她的建议。“我们许多人可能觉得读12年级是最令人沮丧的经历之一。但如果你下定决心、保持专注和积极的态度，就能在意识到压力前先克服它。”

　　“Start early and trust the process”, she says. “Year 12 can be one of the most frustrating periods for a lot of us. However, if you can set your mind to it, stay focused, and stay positive, it will be over before you know it.”

　　“如说我没纠结过那是骗人的。实际上，在柬埔寨疫情蔓延的时候，我很难适应线上学习。幸运的是，我的老师、朋友和家人都给了我帮助，我发现它能弱化这件事对我的影响。”

　　“I would be lying if I say I didn’t struggle. In fact, I had a really difficult time adjusting to online learning while the pandemic is still ongoing in Cambodia. Fortunately, with the help of my teachers, friends, and family, I found it a lot less intimidating.”

　　此外，Elly还想要对AIC的师弟师妹们说，“祝你们申请顺利！我对你们充满信心”。

　　Finally, she also wishes her AIC juniors, “Best of luck with your applications! I believe in you guys.”
