蔡同学，就读于美国美达菲学校12年级。由于受到疫情的影响，于今年三月回国。为了提高学习效率，以最饱满的姿态迎接申请季，他回国后主动联系了上海美达菲，于九月加入了美国过渡班，参加美国美达菲的线上课程。从这时起，他开启了一段新的旅程。

Caicai is a current Grade 12 student study in MacDuffie, Granby, MA. Because of the influence of this global pandemic, he chose to fly back to China in March. In order to improve his study efficiency and better prepare for the coming application season, he contacted Shanghai MacDuffie School spontaneously and became a member of the temporary class. Since then, he started his journey of taking online courses in our school.

作为一名高度自律的学生，蔡同学是一位优秀的语言学习者，同时也具有超强的领导能力。通过老师的教学和自主学习，他在托福考试中取得了115的好成绩，同时于SAT考试中取得了1500。因此，他在学习英语的同时还能够有效地利用英语，进行日常交际和学术研究。目前，他还将学习法语作为自己的一个小目标。在学校，蔡同学的GPA一直保持在4.18/4.33。

As a highly self-disciplined student, Caicai is both a great language learner and an excellent leader. Through teachers’ guidance and independent learning, he got 115 in TOEFL, 1500 in SAT. He is completely fluent in Mandarin Chinese and English, as well as a passionate learner of French. Now, he keeps maintaining GPA at 4.18/4.33.

02 Daily Routine

接下来，就让我们跟着蔡同学的脚步，一起走进美国过渡班同学的一天吧！

Next, let's follow Caicai's step and start to explore students' daily routine in the temporary class of Shanghai MacDuffie!

8:00 a.m. - 11：30 a.m.

迎着朝阳，吃完早餐，蔡同学会在校园里漫步两圈，呼吸新鲜的空气。

Facing the morning sun, after eating breakfast, Caicai always chooses to walk around the campus and breathes fresh air.

之后，为了加强记忆，温故知新，他会利用早上的时间回看前一天的网课，以及和美国的老师进行邮件联系。

Later, in order to strengthen the previous knowledge, he will use several hours to review yesterday's online class and communicate with teachers in the U.S. via email.

蔡同学正在回看前一天的网课

12:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.

午饭后的两小时是过渡班同学们集中自习的时间段。虽然大家的课程有所不同，但为了保证大家拥有固定的集体生活，增进班级的凝聚力，班主任老师会根据每位同学的课表，安排大家自习的时间段，以便进行统一答疑。

The two hours after lunch is the time for students to concentrate on self-study. Although everyone's courses are different, in order to ensure that everyone has a fixed collective life and enhance the cohesion of the class, the homeroom teacher has arranged a specific time period for everyone to do self-study according to each student's schedule. Meanwhile, teachers will give extra support to help students solve difficulties.

作为12年级的学长，蔡同学主动担任起了帮助学弟学妹的工作。在完成自己课业之余，也带动了班级中互帮互助的氛围。

As a senior in 12th grade, Cai takes the responsibility of helping younger students. In addition to completing his own tasks, he also facilitates peer support in class.

过渡班的同学们正在班级里进行学习和peer support 

3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

临近傍晚，完成课堂作业后，同学们漫步校园，嗅着空气中氤氲着的桂花香，沐浴在金色的阳光里，不由得举起了手中的相机，开始探索秋天的美景。

Approaching the evening, after finishing classwork, students start to walk around the campus. Smelling the scent of osmanthus in the air, bathed in the golden sunlight, all of them cannot help to raise the camera in their hands and began to explore the beauty of autumn.

晚饭后稍作小憩，蔡同学会来到学校的活动室和老师们进行乒乓球活动。

After a dinner break, Cai will come to the school's activity room to play table tennis with teachers.

由于过渡班的同学们需要在晚上上网课，班主任老师根据每个同学的不同情况安排了晚上的晚自习。蔡同学每天会参加第一节晚自习。晚自习过后，正式开始美国的网课学习。他特意向美国申请了录播课，这样就能保证每天较为规律的作息。

Since students in the temporary class take online lessons in the evening, the homeroom teacher has arranged evening self-study according to each student's situation. Caicai participates in the evening self-study every day during the first period. After the evening self-study, he will start his online class. To maintain a regular daily schedule, he applied for a combination of live and broadcasting classes.

03 Caicai's Tips

最后，蔡同学有什么想要和大家分享的小想法呢？让我们一起来看一看吧！

In the last part, let's see what Caicai wants to share with us.

Tips

我认为不管是学习和生活，最重要的就是养成良好的习惯，尤其是时间管理方面。虽然现在不能直接参与到美国的环境中，但在这里，我依旧能在学习的同时合理安排课外活动，在得到放松的同时，也提高了自己的学习效率。

I think the most important thing is to develop good habits, especially time management. Although now I can't study in the US, I still try to combine study with extra-curricular activities here in Shanghai MacDuffie. In this way, I can get relaxed and improve my learning efficiency simultaneously.
