During the eight-day teaching life, she learned to do farm work in the fields in the morning and pick up garbage in nearby tourist attractions; Take children to do extracurricular activities at noon; In the afternoon, the children learn English, sing and perform. Recalling the scene of doing farm work at that time, Huang Yutong felt that he had learned a lot.

Huang Yutong said that she has no special secret, and independent study is very important. Huang Yutong's parents are very busy at work, so they don't have much time to take care of her. Since primary school, Huang Yutong has been in charge of himself and has never attended an off-campus training class.
English has always been Huang Yutong's favorite subject. Huang Yutong said that she likes watching English cartoons and American TV shows, and she often chats with foreigners online and watches open classes at Yale University. Over time, English has become a part of life in Huang Yutong. Mathematics is also Huang Yutong's strong point. Many girls don't like math, but she learns it easily. "If I encounter valuable questions or wrong questions, I will write them down in my notebook." Huang Yutong said that she didn't attend the off-campus Olympic Mathematics training class, but only attended the Olympic Mathematics training in the second and third grades of the school.

Huang Yutong's steady personality, fluent oral English and clear logic make her stand out among many applicants.
Her trick
Let English permeate every corner of life.
Such a good knowledge of English is not only influenced by her father who is a doctor, but also related to her reading various English books since childhood. Celebrity autobiographies, memoirs, classic works, critical articles ... she covers a wide range. In the spring of 20 13, Huang Yutong was both the host and the "simultaneous interpreter" at the welcoming ceremony of Yale's sister school, Ford Middle School in the United States.
However, the American oral English of the "bright and blind" interviewer was not Huang Yutong's strong point from the beginning. "In order to make up for my spoken English, I go to the English corner every noon to chat with foreign teachers-music, poetry, movies, novels, musicals ... everything. At the Sino-American Student Leaders Summit in Harvard, I tried to write more than 10 pages of English academic articles, and discussed some topics in English that I never touched in Chinese: service-oriented leaders, sex and gender, Ulysses, race ... "
There are more than 30 original English books on the bookshelf, all English pages in the web browsing records, and a mountain of English textbooks for math and science students on the desk ... Huang Yutong said that for her, English is not just a class, but has penetrated into every corner of her life.
Her hobby
Musicals, Performances and Singing Huang Yutong began to play the piano at the age of 4, but never took the exam. "I don't think the grading test means much to me." Huang Yutong speaks softly, always smiling on her delicate face. She likes musicals, performances and singing, and also participates in the school drama club. In her freshman year, she played the mother of three children in the musical Beauty and the Beast. "Probably the foreign teacher thinks that I have a maternal temperament and will take better care of people." 18 year old girl teased.
Huang Yutong is very popular. Her classmates told reporters that Huang Yutong would hardly refuse others, and she would try her best to fulfill her promise to her friends. This is also one of her skills to become a new goddess in the hearts of her classmates.
Her faith
Insisting on pursuing one's dreams, behind a long list of "perfect scores" are Huang Yutong's strict requirements and orderly planning. "I will make a plan the day before, tell myself what to do tomorrow and urge myself to finish it." Her parents' policy of "non-interference in learning" also cultivated her ability of autonomous learning. Gao Jun, the head teacher, commented on Huang Yutong: "She is a confident girl who dares to pursue her dreams. When encountering difficulties, she will tell herself to stick to it and not give up. " Huang Yutong always remembers Jun Gao's words "study, you should be able to bear loneliness". "I hear from time to time how many points someone scored in the SAT and who participated in any international activities. I remind myself: don't dwell on temporary gains and losses, let alone get lost in myths created by others. " Huang Yutong said.
