Eva：我的游泳启蒙来自我的妈妈，她是国家一级游泳运动员。在我三、四岁的时候，她发现我身上有异于常人的“水感”。于是在妈妈的陪伴下，一边学一边玩，直到9岁那一年，被曾经参加过「奥运」比赛的妈妈队友赵燚发掘，也从此担任我的教练。

Eva：My swimming inspiration comes from my mother, who is a national first-class swimmer. When I was three or four years old, she discovered that I was super talented in the field of swimming. Accompanied by my mom, I learned and played at the same time until I was discovered at aged 9 by my mother's teammate Yi Zhao, who had participated in Olympic Games and has been my coach ever since.

Eva：周二、周四、周六和周日是我最忙的时候。我每天早上五点起床，然后到妈妈的游泳馆里热身，下水，「碟仰蛙自」（碟泳、仰泳、蛙泳、自由泳）四种泳姿各练习一遍，一共5000米，时间控制在一个多小时之内，七点上岸，匆忙洗漱后回到学校开始一天的学业。下午四点放学后，再次回到游泳馆，重复早上的5000米练习。一整天加起来，会训练10000米。

Eva: Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays are my busiest times. I generally get up at 5 o'clock every morning and then warm up in my mother's swimming pool. I go into the water and practice four swimming strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. The total length of swimming I practice is 5000 meters. The time is controlled within around an hour. I finish at seven and hurry up to be at school at 8 am. After school at 4 p.m., I return to the pool again and repeat the 5000-meter practice in the morning. A whole day of swimming training is 10000 meters.

Eva：说实话是辛苦的，有时候游到最后就觉得很累，但我知道我只要坚持不懈，游泳成绩就会越来越好。

Eva: To be honest, it's hard. Sometimes I feel very tired but I know that I need to persevere to become better and better.

Eva：我之前也一直在国际学校读书，因为今年疫情的关系，原来学校的很多美国老师都没办法回来，所以师资质量下降了。中学对于我来说至关重要，因此父母决定换一间好一点的学校，就选择了TWIS。

Eva: I was also in an international school before coming to TWIS but because of the Covid-19, many teachers from America in the school were unable to come back, so the general quality of teachers is affected. Middle school is of great importance to me, so my parents decided to change to a better school and finally chose TWIS.

Eva：我很喜欢设计课、个人与社会课，以及英语文学课。除了游泳之外，我还有很多其他的兴趣爱好，我的珠心算是六级的水平，还会画画、钢琴、架子鼓，以前还学过主持，参加过东莞市的少儿春晚。

Eva: I love Design, Individuals and Societies, and English. In addition to swimming, I have many other hobbies. For example, my Abacus is at level 6. I am also specialized in drawing, play the piano and drums, and being a host at some shows like Spring Festival Gala for Juniors in Dongguan.

Eva：我也想成为一名设计师，这是我为什么这么爱上TWIS设计课的原因。我正在学习如何利用设计周期来策划、研究和创造。

Eva: I dream of being a designer. That's why I love the design course at TWIS. I am learning how to use the design cycle to plan, research and create.

Eva母亲：由于我以前是专业的游泳运动员，通过体育院校毕业后自己也一直从事体育教育工作，在这二十几年教育当中总结了一些经验，孩子从三岁左右开始培养她的艺术兴趣爱好（包括美术、音乐）对她的性格平稳也有一定的帮助。

Eva's Mom: I used to be a professional swimming athlete. I have been engaged in physical science education ever since I graduated from sports college. According to my over 20 years of experience, I have summed up some educational philosophy -- it's helpful for a child of 3 years old to develop a stable personality through creating an environment for him/her in the field of artistic hobbies (including art, music).

Eva母亲：现在谈十分明确的未来职业选择还为时尚早。体育特长作为主打只是希望帮助她学业上可以上更高的一个台阶，而且通过体育锻炼孩子她们有着不怕辛苦、克服困难的精神，心里承受压力大意志坚强，作为父母都希望孩子健康快乐成长。如果家长把结果当导向这样会适得其反，把体育当兴趣特长孩子才能喜欢坚持这么久。

Eva's Mom: It's too early to talk about a very clear future career choice for a 12-year-old girl. Sports working as the main focus for Eva is just to help her go to a higher level in academics, and through physical exercise, she would have a strong mind and spirit of not being afraid of hard work and overcoming unexpected difficulties with her strong mind. All parents hope their children will grow up healthy and happy, and I am no exception. It will be counterproductive if parents take the result as a guide. Only by taking sports as an interest can children enjoy and persist in it for so long.
