1. The school independently recommended outstanding students to participate in written tests and interviews organized by famous foreign schools, and then they were admitted, and some even won many scholarships. For example, Waseda University in Japan and Singapore High School.
2. Students independently take the American College Entrance Examination (SAT), TOEFL, IELTS and other exams, obtain relevant certificates, and then apply for admission to famous foreign universities. Some students can get scholarships of different amounts. Such as the University of California, Washington and Lee School.
3. Participate in the cooperation between the school and famous foreign schools, study abroad as an "exchange student" in Grade One and Grade Two, and participate in relevant written tests and interviews in Grade Three. Those who pass can get admission notices from famous foreign schools, and those who have excellent grades can get certain scholarships. For example, the Paris School of Politics in France and the University of Insa in Britain.
International exchange office, head of Wuhan Education Bureau, said that these "top students" admitted by foreign universities have excellent academic performance and ability. Among them, excellent foreign language performance, especially fluent spoken foreign language, is the first stepping stone for famous foreign universities.
Secondly, rich social activity ability and excellent comprehensive quality. Many of these students, who are favored by famous foreign universities, have demonstrated their organizational skills in various activities.

Third, he has a wide range of knowledge and has his own ideas and opinions.

"These students who were selected by famous foreign schools are very calm and confident, which is the result of solid daily accumulation."

This year, Jia Zhu, a student studying French at Wuhan Foreign Languages School, was admitted to the Paris School of Political Science, a famous French university, and is expected to win a scholarship of more than 654.38 million yuan (equivalent to RMB).
Why are "top students" favored?
In an interview yesterday, Jia Zhu said that if high school students plan to study abroad, they should first lay a good language foundation. In fact, most countries do not look at the domestic college entrance examination results, but pay more attention to the language level and high school learning. Among them, the level of oral dialogue and listening comprehension is the key to determine whether you can study abroad successfully.
Chang Guangli, a French teacher at Wuhan Foreign Languages School, said that these students have a "trick" to learn spoken English, that is, they can combine life and study at ordinary times, which is not only full of interest, but also fruitful. It is understood that in the foreign affairs activities held in Wuhan, they conducted simultaneous translation on the spot without a written speech, which was praised by the French.
It is reported that in French universities, it is always the students who play the leading role, and the teacher is only the starting point. This freedom and independence in learning gives students great room for development potential. At the same time, students are also required to pay attention to reality and refine their own opinions. The key is to make personal views "stand firm" through their own reasoning and mastery of materials. Even if your personal opinion is different from the teacher's, you can still get high marks.
Jia Zhu thinks that it is very useful to spend 20-30 minutes watching news every day and often talking about hot topics with classmates, which will improve their ability to analyze problems. They walked into a famous foreign school, a famous Singapore school-
Talking about current affairs in written IQ interview
Last year, a group of Wuhan junior high school graduates passed the written test and interview and were admitted to Raffles College and Raffles Girls' Middle School in Singapore. According to the agreement, the admitted students will go to Singapore to attend senior high schools. The school not only provides full scholarships and living expenses, but also "pays" round-trip air tickets and monthly pocket money.
In recent years, various selection examinations organized by the Singapore Ministry of Education have attracted a large number of "top students" from China. It is understood that there are three main types of "draft" conducted by Singapore in Hubei: SM \ (senior middle school \- 1) selects junior high school graduates, and the selected students go to Singapore to continue their secondary education. After graduating from high school, they can apply to universities all over the world; SM-2 selects senior two students, and the selected students first receive preparatory study for a period of time, and then study at the University of Singapore; SM-3 selects senior three graduates and goes directly to universities in Singapore. Under normal circumstances, those who pass these three types of selection examinations can get full scholarships. Among them, students who enjoy free university education need to stay in Singapore for a certain number of years after completing their studies.
The SM examination procedure organized by Singapore Ministry of Education is complicated: firstly, the school recommends students and provides sufficient reasons; In addition to written tests in mathematics, physics and English, candidates have to complete 60 IQ tests; In the interview stage, we mainly examine oral English ability, improvisation ability, personality and cultivation.
Only those who are recommended by the school are eligible to participate in the selection. So, who was the first student to pass?
"Studying abroad for middle school students is not suitable for everyone. Only by having a good personality and mentality can we adapt to the changes in the learning and living environment, otherwise it is easy to go to extremes when encountering setbacks. " A teacher of Wuhan Experimental Foreign Language School said that when recommending candidates, the school not only looks at academic performance, but also pays more attention to students' social activities and communication with classmates and teachers. Among them, students with good comprehensive quality are more likely to be recommended by the school.
In 2006, Fourier, a senior 3 graduate of Fruit Lake No.2 Middle School (1), got a perfect score of 7.5 in the senior high school entrance examination, passed two rounds of selection and was admitted to Raffles Girls' Middle School in Singapore.
Speaking of this written test, Fourier and several students agree that English is the most difficult of the three subjects, and the vocabulary is close to band 6; Mathematics is similar to a competition problem, which is a bit tricky; Only physics is relatively easy.
The teacher in charge of enrollment at Raffles College in Singapore said that besides academic performance and competition results, good communication and social skills are also important in selecting talents. All kinds of questions in the interview are to examine students' communicative competence and adaptability, as well as their personal qualities in speech and behavior.
Famous American schools-
Hardware values English scores.
Excellent English performance must be the first stepping stone for famous foreign schools. These students who have won scholarships from top foreign universities have outstanding TOEFL and SAT scores without exception.
This year, Liu Yuan, a senior three student from Wuchang Experimental Middle School (1), was admitted to Washington University. This liberal arts college ranked 12 in the United States gave Liu Yuan a full scholarship of150,000 US dollars, equivalent to about120,000 yuan.
It is understood that Liu Yuan was rejected by Yale University when he took the American college entrance examination. At that time, Liu Yuan scored 633 points in TOEFL, and the American college entrance examination SAT 1 (mainly language and logic) 2 150 points, and SAT2 (optional auxiliary subject) 2,360 points (out of 2,400 points). But later, because of his poor comprehensive practical ability, Liu Yuan was successfully admitted to a famous American school with excellent English scores and good comprehensive quality.
Behind the glamorous achievements, the efforts of the outstanding people can be described as arduous: Liu Yuan's English scores even ranked first in the bottom of the class in his freshman year. He said that once, while listening to an English tape, he overheard Martin Luther King's original words "I have a dream". The impassioned tone of the speaker made him passionate, and it was from that moment that Liu Yuan felt the beauty of English.
After that, Liu Yuan became interested in English, began to listen to movie soundtracks and pop music, and immersed himself in English learning in various ways every day. A year later, when he was in Grade Three, he passed Grade Four.
Famous Japanese schools-
Write an English "essay" in the written test.
This year, three high school students from Wuhan Foreign Languages School, Yuan Zhe, Chen Qian and Pan Yifei, passed the exam and got the admission notice from Waseda University. Among them, Yuan Zhe won a scholarship of 654.38 million yuan.
Waseda University, with its idyllic name, is one of the most prestigious universities in Japan. This year, due to excellent grades and outstanding comprehensive quality, Yuan Zhe and other three students took the examination of Waseda University as recommended students of Wuhan Foreign Languages School.
Yuan Zhe introduced that the exam is divided into English written test and interview. Among them, the written test requires writing a short article about "drunk driving", and the interview is to talk to the examiner about "how to treat the Japanese economy". It is understood that Yuan Zhe usually loves to read newspapers such as China Daily and Reference News, and is particularly interested in economic news. These questions were combined with current politics, and Yuan Zhema immediately expressed his views in fluent English.
According to the teacher of Wuhan Foreign Language School, Yuan Zhe not only has excellent grades, but also has a wide range of hobbies. Participated in class textbook plays and school animation club performances for many times. In addition, Yuan Zhe's English ability is excellent, and she passed CET-4 in her freshman year. At present, he is taking advantage of his precious time in summer vacation to attend English and Japanese training.
