在5周的网课后，同学们的在线学习可能会进入一个疲惫期。学习一刻不能停，而且马上高中部的同学们又将迎来期中考试，该如何让同学们保持激情和高效学习呢？学校在课堂调查中发现了不少同学使用了很多激励学习的方法。G9姜同学、G10陈同学分享了如何管理时间，提高学习效率：待办事项表；邮件等等。同时，时间管理也要学会自律，蔡同学就提到要将找到目标当成目标。

After five weeks of online class, the students might be gradually entering a period of exhaustion. Learning won’t pause for a day, also the high school students will soon have the mid-term exams.

G9 Ethan and G10 Angel shared how to manage time and improve learning efficiency: use “to do list”; use email, etc. Also, self-regulation is a key part of time management.

2、 学生分享 —— 如何保重身心双重健康 Students’ Sharing - Mental & Physical Health

3、 宅家 —— 厨艺初体验 First Experience of Cooking

疫情封控一方面阻隔了大家的相遇，但另一方面，它增加了家庭时间，给了同学们更多和家人沟通的机会，让他们了解家人、参与家庭的建设。G10C的同学们在老师的组织下，进行了厨艺的初体验，可以看到不少同学是初次尝试，准备了简单的沙拉；也有不少同学颇具天分，制作了满满一桌的菜。生活还在继续，不要被疫情打倒，我们不妨借此机会，增进与家人们的沟通。

On the one hand, the COVID lockdown isolates us at home; on the other hand, it can improve relationships between family members and give students more opportunities to communicate with their parents so that they can understand their families and participate in household duties. During this period, G10C students had their first experiences of cooking under the organization of the teacher. It can be seen that many students tried for the first time, like preparing a simple salad; also, quite a few talented students even. made a full table of delicious dishes. Life continues, we won't be beaten by the pandemic. We might by the way take this opportunity to improve communication and relationships with our family members.
