楼同学

女士们、先生们：

大家下午好！

我是今年的新生，也是体验营的营长，Jenny楼同学，很荣幸能作为新生代表发言。

在没有进入咱们学校前，我对学校的印象只停留在招生简章和夏令营的介绍中，但经历了七天的体验营，接触了同学们、老师们之后，这个社区打动我的就不仅仅是“不内卷照样上名校”的宣传语，更是这里的爱与希望，还有一种自我探索的精神。

“内卷”是指在一个旧状态内部不停地进行升级深入，但很难定义旧状态和新状态，这种非理论化的解释会因人而异。但一切的一切都取决于你对自己正在完成的项目的感兴趣程度，这也是我在体验营和学校官网上能深刻感觉到的：探索并发现自我。

在历时七天的体验营中，校外的户外拓展项目以及校内的商赛、课程等活动帮助我们快速了解彼此。人与人之间存在着明显的差异，而思想性格更甚。在与不同类型的同学交流以及讨论的过程中，我对于“讨论”的理解更深了。讨论要自举自证，相互进行利害反驳从而得出最佳的结果。在这个过程中，你能清晰地看到自己的不同之处。这也成为发现自己的一种高效方式，从而更好地进行自我探索。我期待跟更多同学进行讨论，对知识和彼此都加深了解。

宏润博源对我而言是一个全新的环境，无论是在体验营、商赛，还是现在，我都能看到我有一群优秀的同学。刚进体验营上课时我甚至突然有了一种步入镀金时代的奇妙体验（既令人沮丧又令人充满希望的时代），简单来说就是因为不确定性产生了动力。我想很多同学都会有和我一样的想法，因为我们面临的都是一个新的环境，但我们需要勇敢地走出“舒适区”。正如8月30日“宏润教育沙龙”学长所讲：要突破“怕与恐惧”。相信老生同学们也会给予我们帮助和支持，因为我们在同一个社区，我们是一家人。

最后的最后，我想借用飞鸟集的一段话来结尾:“水中的鱼无声，大地上的动物喧闹，天空中的鸟儿在歌唱， 而人类内心有着海洋的宁静、大地的喧闹和天空的音乐…”

期待我们都能找到自己的目标并对其有计划，期待我们都能更好地探索并发现自我。

祝福大家，祝贺新学期！

感谢聆听。

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!

I am Jenny Lou Jianing, a freshman and also the captain of the orientation camp. It is my honor to speak as a representative of my cohort.

Before my enrollment, my impression of the school was limited to the enrollment brochure and the introduction of the summer camp. However, after experiencing the seven-day orientation camp and interacting with fellow students and teachers, what has truly impressed me about this community goes beyond the slogan of "Attending prestigious schools without involution, or rat race.” It is the love, hope, and the spirit of self-discovery that resonate here.

"Involution" refers to the continuous development and refinement within an existing state where defining the old and new states becomes challenging. The layman interpretation of this theory varies from person to person; however, everything depends on your level of interest in the project you are working on. This is also what I deeply felt during the orientation camp and resonates with a phrase I saw on the school's official website: “exploring and discovering oneself”.

During the seven days of the orientation camp, whether in the sports activities on the camping site, in the simulated business contest or in the classrooms, group discussions enabled us to quickly understand each other. There are obvious differences between individuals, even more so in terms of thoughts and personalities. Through communication and discussions with classmates of different types, I gained a deeper understanding of the essence of "discussion." Discussions require self-justification and mutual refutation to arrive at the best results. In this process, you can clearly see your differences. It also becomes an efficient way to discover yourself, thus facilitating self-exploration. I look forward to engaging in discussions with more classmates to enhance mutual understanding and knowledge.

For me, Hongrun Boyuan is a completely new environment, and all my experiences here are my firsts, even this right now. I can see that I am surrounded by a group of outstanding classmates. When I first attended classes during the orientation camp, I even had a strange sensation of stepping into a gilded era (an era that is both frustrating and hopeful). To put an explanation to this, it may be because uncertainty generates motivation. I believe many students might share my thoughts as we are all facing a new environment, but we need to bravely step out of our comfort zones, just as the seniors emphasized during the "Hongrun Education Salon" on August 30th encouraging us to “break through fear and apprehension”. I trust that the returning students will also provide us with help and support, as we belong to the same community, and we are one big family.

Lastly, I would like to conclude with a quote from "Stray Birds" by Rabindranath Tagore: " The fish in the water is silent, the animal on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing,
But Man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air..."

Let's look forward to finding our own goals and planning for them, and let's hope that we can all explore and discover ourselves better.

Best wishes to all, and congratulations on the new semester!

Thank you for listening.

亲爱的老师们、家长们、朋友们，以及新加入的伙伴们：

大家好！我是11年级的赵同学。很荣幸能站在这里与各位分享我对过去的反思和对新学期的展望。

我的感悟可以聚焦在两个关键词上：一个是“勇敢”，另一个是“关怀”。

“勇敢”是非常重要的品质。高中时代充满了变化和挑战，我们会有学术压力、社交压力，以及对未来的迷茫等等。勇敢则是我们积极迎接新的挑战的重要心态，它能激励我们迎难而上，也能帮助我们打破舒适圈，寻找新的可能性和机遇。在高中这几年里，学校会为大家提供丰富的资源和广阔的舞台。希望大家能把握住机遇，勇敢地去尝试、去探索，也勇敢地寻求帮助。当我们抓住机会，站到舞台中央面对观众时，那种紧张和退缩的情绪是难免的，内心可能有个声音说 “我还没有准备好”，但是往往是这次机会，可以让我们突破自我，看到更广阔的天地。

上学期，学校举办了第一届中国语言文化节。在活动筹备过程中，我和我的组员们因为兴趣聚在一起，但是对于组织文化类体验活动， 我完全没有经验，因此筹备汉服文化体验板块对我来说是很大的挑战。不过，在老师的指导和我们一次又一次的探讨研究下，顺利完成了研究论文和汉服制作体验项目。虽然它并不完美，但却是我们勇敢探索新领域的成果，也丰富了学校的语言文化节。

我想和大家分享的另一个关键词是“关怀”。在学业之外，能够关心自己，关爱同学，关怀校园，一起建设我们的社区。身体是革命的本钱，大家在忙碌学业的同时，也不要忘记时常锻炼，放松身心。同学是我们非常重要的伙伴，不管是日常的课堂展示还是科学艺术展等大型活动，和同学友好协作都是成功的关键。学校要求每位同学每学期都要完成至少十小时的服务性义工，服务他人，共创社区。在学生会独立组织的学生议校园时政的“北辰论坛”上，我们也可以指出学校需要改善和提升的地方，并提出相应的建设性解决方案，共同完善我们的社区。

毛毛乐园是我们非常重要的关怀项目。在校园里有许多流浪猫，毛毛乐园为它们提供了住所和食物，并通过TNR控制校园猫咪数量，即用食物诱捕流浪猫，带它们体检、绝育。暑假里，我和毛毛乐园的伙伴们也在思考和计划毛毛乐园新学期的发展，包括猫咪图鉴的制作，知识科普，领养宣传，也会在之后的P&B晨会上给大家做详细的介绍，也非常欢迎有意向的同学加入我们的项目。

最后的最后，祝愿大家能够在新学期勇敢探索，找寻自己的热爱，一起建设校园，也成为更好的自己。

谢谢大家！

Dear teachers, parents, friends, and new SHBS schoolmates:

Good afternoon! I am Zhao Chen, from Grade 11. It's my honor to be here and share my reflections on the past and expectations for the upcoming semester with all of you.

My speech today focuses on two key words: "courage" and "caring."

"Courage" is an essential quality in high school life and beyond. High school means lots of changes and challenges for us. We, especially newcomers, will encounter academic and social pressure and the feeling of being uncertain and lost about the future. Courage is the vital mindset that drives us to embrace new challenges. It inspires us to brave difficulties and helps us break out of our comfort zones to seek new possibilities. Over the next few years, our school will provide numerous opportunities for all of us to stand on this stage. I hope that everyone can seize them, bravely try new things, explore boldly, and seek help courageously. I can deeply relate to the nervousness and hesitation that come with facing an audience. The inner voice might tell you, "I'm not ready yet." However, often these opportunities allow us to surpass our self-imposed limits and see a broader world.

Last semester, our school held the first Chinese Language and Culture Festival. During the event preparation process, my teammates and I gathered due to our shared interests. However, I lacked experience in organizing culture-related activities, so organizing, planning, researching, and preparing the traditional Chinese clothing div posed a significant challenge on me. Yet, with the guidance of our teachers and our collaborative research, we successfully completed our research paper and Hanfu production activity. It might not be perfect, but it was the result of our courageous venture into a new field, and the cultural festival proceeded smoothly.

Another key word I'd like to share with all of you is "caring." Beyond academics, it's important to care for ourselves, show our concern for classmates, and help to build our community. Health is the foundation of everything. While busy with academic work, don't forget to exercise and take care of our well-being. Also, classmates are our essential partners. Whether it's daily presentations or collaborating on significant events like the science fair, cooperation with classmates is key to success. In addition, the school requires every student to finish at least 10 hours of volunteer service each semester to help build the campus. During “Beichen Forum”, all of us can get on stage with our proposals on how to better develop our community, so let’s care about, observe, think, and create our community together.

 MeowMeowland is a caring project. It provides the stray cats on campus with shelter and food and regulate their population with TNR, that is, Trap, Neuter, and Release. We have been trapping cats with food and taking them to get physical check, vaccination and sterilization for the past four years. During summer break, my partners and I have planned the development of MeowMeowland for the new semester, including creating a cat catalogue, guidebook for taking care of cats, and posters for adoption. More detailed information will be presented during the upcoming P&B gathering. We also warmly welcome interested students to join our project.

Finally, I wish everyone the courage to explore in the new semester, discover your passions, and join us in building our campus and creating our best selves. That’ all. 

Thank you!

亲爱的老师们，家长们，以及同学们：

大家下午好！

九月，是红枫飘摇之时，是桂花飘香之际，更是大家开学的时候。伴随着开学而来的，不只是面对新课程、新环境、新朋友的好奇与欢欣，也可能会有一份面对未知未来的担忧与焦虑。如何应对焦虑和可能的困惑就成为站在新开端的我们不得不面对的“疑难杂症”，现在我就想通过今天的演讲向全体同学，尤其要跟新生同学分享一下我的心得，也算作新学期老生送给新生的礼物。

有一种心理学理论，将焦虑解释为人们对于现实的自己和理想的自己差距过大而产生的不安感。焦虑产生的过程即是人们对于这份距离感逐渐清晰的认知。第一种应对方法相信大家都很熟悉，也就是我们俗称的摆烂。通过一种将预期降低到极低的极端方式，来让自己产生舒适感，进而顺从自己“无所谓”、“就这样吧”，等一系列对前方的事物随遇而安、漠不关心的想法。学会摆烂是一件好事，因为这意味着你踏入了期望管理的大门，哪怕是采用了一种过激的方式。

在此之上的升级版便是目标管理。最常见的目标管理便是用纸和笔写下自己的目标，同时再细化其中的细节，帮助自己一点一点接近这个目标。即便写下了这些宏大的目标，确定了如何一步步实现它，又有多少人有毅力按部就班地去实现这份计划呢？这种做法固然清晰明了，但在完成度方面着实欠缺，最后也难以有太好的效果。像目标管理这般艰巨的任务，我们当然可以寻求老师的帮助。学校的教师团队都十分愿意与学生促膝长谈，当然也十分希望能够帮助学生提高学习成绩。与老师交流自身的学习情况就是一种目标管理的方式。学生既能从老师的角度得到对当前状况的真实评价，也能知道当前的薄弱点在于何处，又该如何解决。老师给出的建议通常都是较为容易达成而又一针见血的，甚至一些细心的老师会督促检查你的学习进度。同理，在面对不同问题时合理寻求学长或者家长的帮助也是很重要的技能。切身体验了课程学习的学长有些时候更能共情学习中产生的压力与难点，能从更实用贴切的角度提出改进建议。只要学会合理制定自己的目标，找到有效解决问题的方法，清晰认知自己的能力，焦虑就会自然而然地随风飘散。

最后，欢迎所有老生回到温暖的社区，更欢迎新生同学的加入，使我们的社区更有力量、更有活力、更有创造力。

祝愿大家在新学期都能开心顺利，共享社区的温暖与温馨！

Dear teachers, parents, and classm

ates:

Good afternoon, everyone!

September is the time when the red maple is swaying, the flowers are fragrant, and it is also the time for everyone to start the new semester. Curiosity and joy for new courses, new environments, and new friends are accompanied with the arrival of a new semester, and at the same time, accompanied with some anxiety.

How we deal with anxiety has become a "difficult and complex problem" that we must face. In my speech, I want to share my perspectives, especially with our new students, as something of a little gift.

There is a psychological theory that explains anxiety as seeing the gap between reality and uncertain expectations as too large. As people gradually worry about this uncertain gap, anxiety dominates their minds. The first response method, commonly known as ‘goblin mode', is familiar to everyone. By reducing expectations to extremely low levels, one can create a sense of comfort. This ‘goblin mode’ is great, since it means that you have found expectation management, even if by an extreme method.

The better option is goal management. The most common way of goal management is to write down one's goals with paper and pen while refining the details to help yourself, step-by-step, to approach this goal. Even after writing down these bigger goals and determining how to achieve them, few people can actually implement their plans. Although clear and simple, it is still hard. Since goal management is a challenging task, we should seek help from our teachers. The school's teaching team is willing to communicate with students, and of course, they also hope to help them improve their academic performance.

Communicating one's own learning situation with teachers is one of the simplest aspects of goal management. Students can not only receive an evaluation of their current academic performance from the perspective of the teacher, but also learn how to improve. The suggestions given by teachers are usually easy to achieve and straightforward. Some meticulous teachers will even help you with your goals assignment by assignment.

Similarly, seek help from senior students or parents when you face different problems—this is an important skill. Older students who have completed a course can empathize with the pressures and difficulties you face. They may provide suggestions from a more practical perspective. With goals, and with the ability to ask for help, anxiety will drift away with the wind.

Again, I would like to welcome all of our returning students back to this warm community and more so, to offer the kindest of greetings to our new students who make our community more powerful, energetic, and creative.

I wish everyone a happy and smooth new semester, embracing the warmth of our community!
