Jerry是我的同学，他是一个有着很多天赋并善于学习的男生。作为一个台湾人，他选择我们学校是因为他认为去加拿大进修将会让他更有竞争力。他也很擅长于学习英语并想要跟外国人交流。当他谈及他的未来计划，他很有野心。他想要获得高分并去到一所好的大学。他说，“卢湾高级中学的BC课程很有经验，它是一个很好的桥梁，为我进入大学做好准备。在这三年里，BC课程会提高我的英语能力跟自信，我真的会受益很多。”
他已经为他未来的学习设定了目标，那就是成绩达到85% 并且在11年级通过雅思考试 。现在，他在周末还参加很多额外的课程，虽然这么多的课程让他感觉有些累。在学校，他总是带一本英语小说来阅读。正如某句名言，熟能成巧。他认为，英语能力是通过持续的积累来提高的。如果你做更多的训练，你就能得到更高的分数。所以，这对他来说是个很大的挑战。他还告诉我，平衡他学习BC课程跟学习雅思的时间也很重要，他将继续努力并在各方各面做好。
当我问到他的爱好，他毫不犹豫的回答，“我喜欢打篮球，我经常在空闲时间观看NBA里我最喜欢的球队的比赛。我觉得篮球总是很令人兴奋的。”他认为打篮球不仅可以让他强身健体，还让他感觉很酷。现在，他在学校每个星期打三次篮球。
他还对音乐很感兴趣，他喜欢听流行音乐，但他也喜欢听经典音乐因为他很会弹钢琴。他经常在学校的一楼弹奏钢琴并练习一些新曲子。他认为音乐能帮助他放松，虽然在将来的几年他会有很多工作要做，但他一定不会放弃弹钢琴。无论他是开心还是沮丧，钢琴都是他的好朋友。他说，“我总是很享受音乐，这是一种释放压力的好方式”。他还跟我他的理想工作是成为一个DJ，可以跟音乐打交道。
你可以看到他超多才多艺！他不仅仅在一个方面做得很好，他还能成功地全面发展。我觉得他作为一个明星学生，实至名归！[:]

Jerry is my classmate. He is a boy of many gifts and good at studying anything. As a Taiwanese person, he chose our school because he thought going to Canada to further his studies could make him more competitive. He is also good at learning English and wants to talk with foreign people. He is very ambitious when he talks about his future plan. He wants to get high marks and go to a good university. “The BC program in Luwan Senior High School is very experienced. I think it’s a good bridge to prepare me to enter university. In these three years the program can develop my language skills and build my confidence. It can really benefit me a lot,” he said.
He has already set a goal for his future studies. His goal is to earn an 85% and pass the IELTS exam in grade 11. Now, he also attends extra classes on weekends, although he feels tired taking so many classes. During the week, he brings an English novel to read. As the saying goes “practise makes perfect”. He thinks English ability is developed through steady accumulation. If you do more exercises, you will get higher marks. So, it is a big challenge for him now. He also tells me that balancing his time between the BC program and studying for IELTS is important. He will keep working hard and doing well in everything.
When I ask him about his hobbies, he answers the questions without hesitation: “I like playing basketball. I often watch my favourite basketball team in the NBA in my spare time. I think basketball is always exciting.” He thinks playing basketball can not only make his body strong, but also make him feel cool. Now he plays basketball three times a week in our school.
He is also interested in music. He likes listening to pop music, but he also loves classical music because he plays the piano well. He often plays the piano on the first floor and practices some new music. He thinks music can help him relax. Although he will have more work to do in the future years, he will never give up playing the piano. The piano is his good friend whenever he is happy or upset. “I always enjoy music. It’s a good way to reduce stress.” He also told me about his dream job. He wants to be a DJ and work with music.
You can see how versatile he is! He is not doing well in only one area. He can successfully develop in an all-round way.
I think he really deserves to be the star student.
