学生获奖感言
11A Chen Zuyi
Studying AS English Language challenged my stereotype of language learning. Before, I reduced language to its utilitarian function: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. It surprised me when I found myself learning power and relationship, child language acquisition, and gender disparities in AS English Language.
If I were to distill all my insights into a single realization, it is this: language is not merely a system of symbols but a living reflection of humanity itself. It embodies our collective history, aspirations, and cognition, shaping not just how we describe the world but how we experience it. To study language is to study the essence of being—how we connect, assert, and understand our place in the intricate tapestry of existence. As Ludwig Wittgenstein said: “The limits of my language mean the limits of my world,” language is constantly shaping cognition, which in turn shapes language.
Finally, I would like to express my deep gratitude to my English teacher, Mr. William, whose unwavering support has been instrumental in my exploration of language. His guidance and encouragement have inspired me to delve deeper into the study of English Language, an area that I am passionate about and will continue to cultivate in the future.

I am truly delighted to have achieved top global and regional results in the AQA IG Maths exam. During my studies of IGCSE, I gradually developed a strong interest and passion for math, enjoying exploring the principles and essence behind the problems. When faced with difficult problems, I value the process of analyzing and solving them more than just the final answer. For me, math is not just an ordinary course, but also a good teacher that helps me train my thinking. As the saying goes, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Achieving good results in IG Math is just the starting point of my journey in math. In the A-level stage, I will continue to maintain this enthusiasm and work harder to make continuous progress in the world of math.
此次参会为学校教师提供了宝贵的学习机会,也展示了我校在国际教育领域的实力与成就。未来,我们将继续努力,为学生创造更多迈向国际舞台的可能性。
This conference provided a valuable learning opportunity for SESID educators while showcasing the school’s strength and accomplishments in the field of international education. Moving forward, we remain committed to creating more pathways for students to step onto the global stage.
