I am honored to address you today, on behalf of the graduating students of Weihai IVY international school.

First of all, I would like to thank IVY, and all the faculty members who served as our instructors, mentors, and friends. At IVY, I not only learned professional knowledge, but also cultivated myself with good merits. The leaders and teachers of the school provided us with a variety of practical opportunities, widening our views and enhance our abilities. In the club activities, I also made a group of like-minded friends. We learned from each other and supported each other, making my high school life full of joy.

Secondly, I would like to thank all the parents, families, and friends who encouraged and supported us as we worked towards our demanded results. The care of my family and the encouragement of my friends are my driving force. During my high school years, I encountered many challenges, but with your support and encouragement, I was able to overcome all of them.

In the future university life, I will continue to study hard and make progress. I hope to use the knowledge and practical experience I have learned to contribute to society. I believe that in the future, we will encounter more opportunities and challenges. Only by constantly striving for improvement and progress can we become better ourselves.

In conclusion, I wish IVY a brighter future! I wish all the students can be offered a place in their dream university.

亲爱的各位毕业班的同学们，你们的高中生活即将结束，这一路走来，一定有欢笑，有泪水，有努力，更有收获。但是高中的毕业不是终点，而是人生中的又一个新的起点。在未来的日子里，无论遇到什么困难和挫折，希望你们都要保持坚定的信念和积极的心态，勇敢地去追求自己的梦想。不要害怕失败，因为每一次的失败都是成长的机会，你们要知道，你们年轻人拥有无限的潜力和可能，所以不要给自己设限，要相信自己能够做到任何你们想做的事情。无论前方等待你的是什么，都要坚定地走下去。

希望所有即将毕业的孩子们都能记住在常春藤这段美好的高中时光，记住在这里收获的友谊和成长。带着这份友谊和力量，去开启人生的下一段精彩篇章。

常春藤外国语学校依山傍海，拥有独一无二优美的校园环境。在冷老师引导下，思为有机会在威海、在常春藤度过高中时光，将来对他而言，一定是一段美好的回忆。思为从踏进常春藤校园的第一天开始，每天都很开心，和学校的每一位老师同学都相处融洽。在各位老师无微不至地悉心关照下，思为日益成熟和进步。

常春藤有多年成熟的A level课程体系教学备考经验。教学管理团队稳定，老师对学生尽心负责。小班化的教学，使思为和我们家长，能与各位任课老师、班主任经常通过微信线上或当面沟通交流。这是如果在上海就读高中难以实现的。思为大学拟申请工科专业，数学是重要的基础科目。思为很幸运，在高中的关键阶段碰到了数学教学经验极其丰富的吴老师，为入读大学打下较好的数学基础。

2022年9月，思为入读常春藤时，刚经历过上海疫情导致的近一学期的网上授课，当时数、理、化等各门功课的基础不够扎实。进入AS班级时，各门AS课程已经教授过前几章，思为有些跟不上。但各位老师一直持续正面鼓励思为，给他一对一补课，即便是阶段性化学考试分数很不理想，思为回来后，仍很开心地告诉我，说丁老师表扬了他，说他虽然题目做错了，但看得出，每一道题是思为自己动脑认真做的。高中化学课程并不容易，但思为一直对化学学习投入较大热情、花费较多精力，不断改进学习方法，逐步较好地掌握化学基础知识。这一切都离不开丁老师持续投入大量精力，一对一地悉心指导。全国疫情突然彻底放开后，威海上了一段时间网课，思为学习又有很大退步。数学吴老师和班主任安娜老师及时安排思为在学校寄宿，接受学校的封闭式管理，帮他顺利过渡到集体寄宿生活。

在思为备考物理AS科目期间，思为经常不分昼夜，在双休日给物理宋老师发微信问题目。宋老师总是及时地回复解题方法。具有医学背景的生物老师Mike不仅给思为教授生物专业知识，还经常在课堂上传授其他有益的见识。

在高三申请季，升学指导张老师和我们进行了大量频繁沟通，指导思为背景提升，修改文书，确定学校，最终拿到所有申请大学的offer。在备考前最关键的两个月，张老师和任课老师腾出额外精力，督导思为及早启动模拟考试。

经过常春藤的高中阶段学习生活，思为已基本具备独立自主的学习和生活能力，这一切离不开常春藤各位老师和同学的关爱和帮助。再次感谢各位老师！
