在過去的10年中，大學錄取在美國、英國、加拿大等這些熱門留學國家的競爭越來越激烈。每一年，學生和他們的家庭都在爭奪能勝過他人的競爭優(yōu)勢，從而導致在整個過程中出現(xiàn)了高度的焦慮和情緒的波動。

In the past ten years, college admission has become increasingly competitive in popular destinations such as the US, UK, Canada etc. Each year, students and their families scramble to get a competitive edge over other applicants, resulting in high anxiety and emotional turmoil during the entire process. In today’s workshop, Mingrong Weng discussed the college application process with parents as a journey of self discovery, an approach that will allow each student to find their best fit. We discussed how to best support our students during this process and learn about the different tools we could use as support.

在今天的家長學堂中，清瀾山學校升學指導主任翁明容老師帶領高年級的家長們進行了一場關于大學申請的自我發(fā)現(xiàn)之旅，共同探討一種使每個學生都能找到最適合自己的方法。

In the face of parents' concerns about school selection，Ms. Mingrong Weng gave parents a strong confidence at the beginning. Because at Tsinglan, college counselor guides students and families through the entirety of the college application process. Also at Tsinglan, college counseling begins in Grade 9. At every first Tuesday of every month from 8:30 – 10:00, our upper school parents have chance to meet Ms. Mingrong Weng face to face, for consulting any questions about college selection.

面對家長對于擇校等問題的顧慮，翁明容老師一開場即給家長打了一支強心針。因為在清瀾山，升學指導老師會就申請大學前后的事項進行全程持續(xù)指導和輔助。而且，在清瀾山，升學指導在9年級就開始了。在每個月初的第一個星期二，高年級家長們將可與翁明容老師面對面交流，咨詢和分享關于擇校的想法。

Ms. Mingrong Weng pointed out that school selection must not be “one size fits all”. Every child is different. From the first year of grade 9 on, it is a good time for children to find their own advantages, think about their hobbies and specialties, and an important period for parents to observe and guide their children to understand themselves correctly. For this reason, Ms. Weng proposed the following suggestions to the students of each grade:

翁明容老師指出，擇校萬萬不可一刀切。每個孩子，都是不一樣的，在9年級開始的數(shù)年時間里，是孩子發(fā)現(xiàn)自身優(yōu)點、思考自身愛好、特長的好時機，也是家長觀察、引導孩子正確認識自己的重要階段。為此，翁老師分別對各個年級的學生提出了如下建議：

Entering the ideal university successfully is just the beginning. Facing a new learning environment in a strange country, as a parent, please help your child with love, support, patience, effective communication and positive guidance as always.

是不是成功進入了理想的大學，就高枕無憂了呢。不，一切才才剛剛開始。面對著陌生的國度，全新的學習環(huán)境，作為父母，請一如既往地用愛、支持、耐心、有效溝通和正面的引導去幫助孩子。

As a student, please make good use of your precious 4 years to explore your own advantages, build skills, reflect on yourself, dare to try, and keep continuous feedback with your parents and teachers.

作為學生，請好好利用寶貴的4年，去探索自身優(yōu)勢、建立技能、自我反思、勇于嘗試，并和父母、老師保持持續(xù)的反饋。
