It is no exaggeration to describe Brother Xiaofeng's life in the New Oriental Art Examination with this song "I Believe". Even in such a tense moment before the college entrance examination, there is always a bright smile on his face, surrounded by a symbol of happiness. With this hard work and self-confidence, his grades have soared, with a basic score of only over 200 points. He scored 365,438+08 in the first model test, 366 in the second model test, and finally got a good score of 399 in the college entrance examination (unfortunately, it was still one point short of the goal we set at that time). It has increased by nearly 200 points, but the fact is that he only needs about 260 points to enter Shanghai Theatre Academy.
It is often said that if a person is excellent, he will perform well in many aspects, because Excellence is a quality. Brother Xiaofeng is such a student, and he believes that he can do his best in both professional courses and cultural courses.
On the way to a professional class
Xiao Fengge graduated from the Middle School Attached to the Central Conservatory of Music, majoring in ballroom dancing. During his three years in the middle school attached to the Central Conservatory of Music, he made rapid progress in his major and achieved excellent results in various competitions. For example, the sixth place in the World International Open, the national integral tournament 18-year-old champion.
Like other art test candidates, in February of 20 10, he finally embarked on a journey and embarked on the road of art test. The first level is specialized courses. Because of his outstanding achievements in professional courses, he was admitted to the performance (ballroom dancing) major of Shanghai Theatre Academy with the fourth place in the country. However, the successful passage of specialized courses does not mean success, and then there is a greater challenge-the study of cultural courses!
On the way to culture class
Before the examination of specialized courses began, Brother Xiaofeng made preparations for the follow-up cultural courses. He chose "New Oriental Youneng Middle School Spring Art Candidates' Culture Class Training Course'" as a fast track to score points in the culture class for the remaining three months before the college entrance examination. Talking about how he became attached to the New Oriental Art Examination makes people smile.
As a teaching assistant in Nevenko 1009 class, I once jokingly asked him, "Brother Xiaofeng, with so many training institutions, how did you decide to identify New Oriental? Not just because the sign rang. " Brother Xiaofeng answered very seriously: "Brand is part of the reason. Most importantly, I entered the home page of the New Oriental Art Examination from Baidu. The page is so beautiful that people feel very formal, so I signed up without hesitation. " After listening to this explanation, I struggled for a long time. It turns out that the children in the art test are really more emotional creatures than rational creatures.
I stayed with these children in the accommodation department for more than two months, saying that it was not long. But even now, those fragments of memory are still so unscrupulous in front of us. Changed time and space, strung them together, let me explain.
Xiao Feng, an industrious and efficient elder brother.
Who says children in art tests can't bear hardships? In fact, they work harder than ordinary high school students. They often have to practice for more than ten hours a day before they can be admitted to the major, and at the same time they have to take into account cultural classes. Finally, the professional courses passed, and as a result, the cultural courses were only a few minutes away from going to college, and students who repeated their studies were everywhere. Therefore, most art candidates have an indomitable spirit in their bones.
Brother Xiaofeng is like this. At that time, he was one of the few people in his class who insisted on attending morning classes every day and never sleepwalked in class. Because the knowledge points taught by teachers are the essence of textbooks and the main points of exams, they are also taught to everyone through a variety of easy-to-understand, efficient and practical methods such as drawing, classifying and giving examples. So as long as you listen carefully in class, the knowledge of the day is digested on the same day, and the exercises and homework left by the teacher are completed on time, there is no need to order too much at night.
Brother Xiaofeng can be said to be a model in the class at this point. A pair of eyes that are not very big are always staring at every knowledge point that the teacher said before the podium. Although he studied hard during self-study, he still had time to watch Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man 3 when he returned to the dormitory. When others were burning the midnight oil, he went to the Duke of Zhou's dream meeting early.
Warm and cheerful brother Xiaofeng.
In fact, when it comes to enthusiasm, it is my favorite thing about art candidates. However, not all art candidates are enthusiastic. Most children who study fine arts and calligraphy are calm and quiet, while those who study musical instruments are always alive and kicking. But all roads lead to the same goal. They are such a group of people with blood in their bones. They are never stingy to help others.
Brother Xiaofeng quickly became the core figure in his class with his enthusiasm, and his classmates followed their learning methods and gradually formed a "sweet dumpling". Always speak at the first time in class, and occasionally play a little trick to enliven the atmosphere. In the self-study class, we recite pictures together, do problems together, time together and correct mistakes together. If someone falls behind, we can help him in time, which is a rare scene in ordinary high schools. Therefore, some children are suitable for collective study, and some children are suitable for parents to watch one-on-one. What is the best way for children? Parents should choose education methods according to their own characteristics.
At that time, there was a girl in the class who was not very good at math. I asked Brother Xiaofeng and his companions to take her to study. I didn't expect him to be embarrassed at all and promised to give her lectures from time to time. Although sometimes he doesn't understand, he pushes it to me, but while helping others, everyone makes rapid progress. Maybe they didn't find it at the time, but they can understand it by looking at the results. Those who should go to the theater should go to the theater, those who should go to Xiamen University should go to Xiamen University, and those who should go to Beijing University of Physical Education should go to Beijing University of Physical Education. Why not?
I remember when I called my parents on the weekend of the first week of summer camp to report on the students' recent situation. Brother Xiaofeng's grandmother said a word that impressed me deeply: "Achievement is secondary, but being a talent is the main thing. We must pay more attention to his growth and not grow long. " It can also be seen from here that a child's personality is inextricably linked with family education.
Brother Xiaofeng, who is in high spirits.
Writing here, I can't help but think of Grandpa Mao's poem "Just classmates and teenagers, in their prime; The scholar was so angry that he scolded Fang Qiu, pointing out mountains and rivers and encouraging writing. In those days, the dirt was Wan Huhou. These 18-year-old children are experiencing the most beautiful flower season and rainy season in their lives. Since it is the rainy season, how can we be young and ignorant and have no taste?
It's really an eye-opener for me to say that art test children relieve stress, although it's not dangerous and scary enough. After a self-study class, some people began to sing, some people began to shout loudly: "Geography, I love you", what's more, our brother Xiaofeng and his classmates danced the national standard dance, and finally the classroom became a dance forest conference.
Singing, dancing and drawing are all the best ways they can find to vent. So we organized a talent show contest in Art Candidates, singing, dancing, drawing, writing and creating ... Brother Xiaofeng lived up to his mission, not only danced well, but also acted as the host of becoming a monk halfway. If I were someone else, I would have run away on the pretext that I didn't have time for the exam and put oil on my feet. Brother Xiaofeng used his spare time to do all this in order. It is because of this that I gave him the responsibility of the host. Later, Tencent's "One Day Map" program, I also recommended him to participate. So that's how stars are made.
Looking back on those months, although everyone in the class had to take care of 35 children, they didn't have the time and energy to cover everything. There are many students like Brother Xiaofeng in my class, which really lightens my workload and gives me energy to take care of those students who are more demanding. Here, I also want to say thank you.
"I believe that I am who I am. I believe that tomorrow, I believe that youth has no horizon ... I believe in freedom, I believe in hope, and I believe that reaching out can touch the sky." Indeed, now you, now you, because you believe in yourself, have reached the other side of the ideal. When the results of the college entrance examination came out, Brother Xiaofeng called me excitedly: "Thank you, thank the teachers in New Oriental …" Remember what I told you at that time? "You're welcome. If you want to thank yourself, thank yourself."
