10. Here we come to the last question. To the students who like to study aboard or who like to start a student career, would you please give them some advices?
最后一個問題,對于想要出國留學(xué)的學(xué)生,您有什么建議?

First of all, be sure what type of curriculum they offer. Be sure that is certified. You are going to get a diploma that worth something. Our diploma is from British Cambridge government. And quite a lot diplomas are issued by a school are not worth the paper that printed on. So ours is from the British government.
第一,要搞清楚學(xué)校會提供什么樣的課程,而且要確保這所學(xué)校是有資質(zhì)的。你獲得的文憑是要有價值的。我們學(xué)校的文憑是來自BC省教育部認(rèn)證的。但是大多數(shù)學(xué)校的文憑并不那么有價值。

Second thing is also to look at the curriculum and what kind of courses they provide and are things could be your needs. Take look at staffing. Many international schools do not have 100% certified teachers. They have 60 to 80 percent. By BEC government law, we have to have 100% certified teachers. So all our teachers are certified, British Cambridge teachers who teach back in British Cambridge, which gives us a really advantage.
第二,看看學(xué)校的課程設(shè)置是否符合你的要求。再看看學(xué)校的師資力量。很多國際學(xué)校的老師都不是100%有資質(zhì)的,大概只有60%到80%是有資質(zhì)的。而根據(jù)BC省認(rèn)證的要求,我們學(xué)校的老師100%都是有資質(zhì)的,這些老師都是可以在BC省教書的,這一點(diǎn)我們有很大的優(yōu)勢。

The other thing is to really get involved in school.? It doesn’t matter what school you get. You will get involved, be part of that school. Do something to contribute to your school as well as to help yourself. Whether it’s Harvard, Yale, Princeton, UBC, they are looking for students now who give something back. They are not looking for students who are just taking from the university, who working to give universities as well.
還有就是要積極融入到學(xué)校中去。不管你進(jìn)的是什么學(xué)校,都要參與進(jìn)去,成為學(xué)校的一部分,為學(xué)校做貢獻(xiàn)對學(xué)生本人也是有益的?,F(xiàn)在的一流大學(xué)都希望自己的學(xué)生不是一味地向?qū)W校索取,而是可以回報學(xué)校。

So part of our program is we have students actually to have portfolio and they actually have to present that portfolio as part of their credit for graduation. So that sort of indicate shows us they are prepared to enter into field of work, field of study.
我們學(xué)校對學(xué)生的要求是全面發(fā)展,這一點(diǎn)也納入到畢業(yè)考核中。我們希望學(xué)生們都為將來的工作學(xué)習(xí)做好了準(zhǔn)備。

The other thing I would say to the students when they are looking at the universities and trying to decide. First of all, decide on what you would like to do; what’s the type of thing you would like to do in the future. Try to imagine yourself 20 years or 30 years from now and then come backwards. And then what’s my first step to get there? So look at your dream, then come back. In order to do that, Chinese students, I will say, you have two choices to make. Do I want to be in a big city where there are a lot of Chinese? Should I go to Vancouver or Richmond?Vancouver, 1/3 Chinese.?Or do I want to go to a smaller city where there are not quite so many. Both have advantages. It depends on the person. Some say I would like to go to a smaller city where are Chinese. I can get Chinese food; I can still be part of that culture. At the same time, I can get other friends and move outside that circle. I can get really a Canadian experience.
另外,我想告訴那些正在選擇學(xué)校的學(xué)生,在做決定前,先要想想你要做什么,在未來你打算做什么。想想二三十年后的自己,再想想現(xiàn)在,要想成為那個樣子,第一步要怎么走?所以,先想想你的夢想,再想現(xiàn)在。對于中國的學(xué)生,我覺得有兩種選擇,去有很多中國人的大城市比如去溫哥華或者里士滿?溫哥華,三分之一都是華人,或者去沒有那么多中國人的小城市?兩者都有好處,這要看每個人的選擇。有的人覺得在有中國人的小城市中,不僅可以吃到中國的食物,感受到中國的文化,還可以交到外國朋友,有其他的交際圈,感受真正的加拿大。

And the other one, I suggest is the weather, some like where do you want to live. Edmontonis very cold, in August, it’s minus 40 degrees at the time. But I’ll tell you, I’ve been warmer in Edmonton, minus 40, than I have been in Shanghai, minus 2 simply because the house is warmer; we built house for that weather.? So you need to take look at where you want to live, the type of lifestyle and the job you want in the future and then plan.
最后,我要建議的是考慮氣候。艾登蒙頓的氣溫在八月份可以達(dá)到零下40度,但我告訴你,我在那里覺得比在上海還暖和,上海的溫度只有零下2度而已。那是因?yàn)槟抢锏姆孔泳褪菫榱四菢拥臉O寒氣候而造的,會更加溫暖一點(diǎn)。所以,你要考慮住在哪里,考慮不同的生活方式,還有你未來想做的工作,再做計劃。

Thank you very much. That’s so much for today.
