这个夏天，让爱莎定格你最美的样子。
图片来源ISA Education 爱莎国际教育集团公众号 How time flies! Now we have come to the end of the Transition Camp. Though two weeks is a relatively short time, we still gained a lot from the Camp. The spirit of cooperation and team work, close relationships formed with teachers and peers and the excitements of outdoor adventures, all of these are the footprints we left, and will never fade in our memories. It is never easy for us to say goodbye to lovely friends and teachers, but we sure will meet again since we are the members of the ISA education ecosystem. We hope this transition camp will leave you not only memories, but also the spirit of ISA people. Now, let's leave the sorrow aside and jointly participate in the Closing Ceremony of 2022 ISA Summer Transition Camp. Leaving a frozen moment at ISA this summer.

托福词汇
Earlier this week, we did a pop quiz with 12 TOEFL vocabulary questions, and the result was quite satisfying. Most of them did a good job and could find the right evidence at both textual and contextual levels based on what they had learnt in the first week. It is gratifying to see that these smart kids applying what they learnt to a real TOEFL test. Then in the following classes, we discussed how to enlarge vocabulary bank in a fun way. Everyone in class were willing to share their experiences and valuable tips . I am sure that these quick learners will find a scientific way to academic success.
本周早些时候，我们做了一个12个托福词汇的突击测验，结果很令人满意。他们中的大多数人都做得很好，能够根据第一周所学的知识在文本和上下文两个层面找到正确的证据。很高兴看到这些聪明的孩子将他们所学到的知识应用到真正的托福考试中。然后在接下来的课程中，我们讨论了如何用有趣的方式来扩大词汇库。每个人都愿意分享他们的经验和宝贵的建议。我相信，这些快速学习者将找到一种科学的方法来取得学术上的成功。

转轨语法
For the second week, we looked at how different types of modifiers were employed in sentences to provide additional information and make ourselves more expressive. After illustrations and instructions, our students were able to produce vivid sentences describing their newly made friends, a class activity not only enhancing their understanding but also bringing great fun to class. Then we furthered our learning to the connections between sentences. The students were able to identify and correctly use coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions, and adverb conjunctions. This part of learning, I believe, will benefit their future writing by improving the coherence and cohesion in their works.
第二周，我们研究了不同类型的修饰语是如何在句子中使用的，以提供额外的信息，使我们更有表现力。通过插画和讲解，我们的学生能够用生动的句子描述他们新认识的朋友，这不仅增进了他们的理解，也给课堂带来了极大的乐趣。然后我们进一步学习句子之间的联系。学生能够识别并正确使用并列连词、从属连词和副词连词。我相信通过这一部分的学习，可以提高他们作品的连贯性和衔接性，对他们未来的写作有很大的帮助。

学术写作
What is the difference between informal and academic writing? Mr. Allen analyzes the differences between types of writing on a spectrum. From the earliest forms of writing (hieroglyphics and etching on the wall) to policies and speeches that bring war and peace, Mr. Allen reviews the key components of good academic writing. Students are reminded to always have a dictionary and thesaurus with them in all classes. They are reminded that reading a wide selection of genres will boost their writing abilities. Daily readings of the news will increase their reading and writing skills while familiarizing with academic style writing.
非正式写作和学术写作有什么区别? Allen老师在一个光谱上分析了不同类型的写作的差异。从最早的文字形式(象形文字和蚀刻在墙上)到带来战争与和平的政策和演讲，Allen回顾了优秀学术写作的关键组成部分。提醒学生在所有课堂上都要带一本字典和同义词词典。他们被提醒，阅读广泛的体裁将提高他们的写作能力。每天阅读新闻将提高他们的阅读和写作技能，同时熟悉学术风格的写作。

科学
In science lesson, we introduced a new ingredient in scientific report writing, identifying variables. We talked about the importance of three different variables: independent variable, dependent variable, and control variables in all scientific investigations. We then focused on science inquiry demonstrated with a fun and simple science experiment, students were given time working on their individual scientific report in preparation for their presentations next time.
在科学课上，我们在科学报告写作中引入了一个新元素，识别变量。我们讨论了三种不同变量的重要性:自变量、因变量和控制变量在所有科学调查中的重要性。随后，我们以简单有趣的科学实验为重点进行科学探究，让学生有时间完成自己的科学报告，为演讲做准备。

视觉艺术
This week in visual arts, students are looking at a work of art or listening to a music piece and saying “I like it” or “I don’t like it!”, does not display much intelligence or critical thinking. As adults or young adults, we need to be able to use our critical thinking in order to justify our tastes and life choices not just to others, but mainly to ourselves. In our case and lesson, four distinct music pieces were played to the class and the students were required to express in writing, a logical or sensible reason why they enjoyed each piece, or not.
这周在视觉艺术课上，学生们看着一件艺术作品或听一段音乐，说“我喜欢它”或“我不喜欢它!”，并没有显示出多少智慧或批判性思维。作为成年人或年轻人，我们需要能够运用批判性思维来证明我们的品味和生活选择。不仅是对别人，而且主要是对我们自己。在我们的案例和课程中，学生们在课堂上演奏了四首不同的曲子，并被要求用书面形式表达他们喜欢或不喜欢每首曲子的逻辑或合理的理由。

数学拓展课程
This week in math CCA, we started with getting to know the careers in applied mathematics. They were inspired by the concept of math modeling and came up with a related project independently. Students found that many students were exhausted during the ISA Transition camp by the time they got to their CCA classes in the afternoon. Therefore, they decided to come up with a formula that calculates how tired will students get by the time of their CCA classes based on their conditions. To do that, they collected data from the students, analyzed the data, made reasonable and logical assumptions, created formulae, and tested their reasoning with the data. With the help of the instructor, we made a program that calculates the tiredness of a student based on their conditions. At the end of the project, students were asked to reflect on the research. As critical mathematicians, they must know to provide logical reasoning, recognize assumptions, and learn how to improve their accuracy in the study. In this week’s math CCA, they were all trained to be a critical mathematician.
这周的数学CCA，我们从了解应用数学的职业生涯开始。同学们受到了数学建模概念的启发，自主构思出了一个相关的项目。学生们发现，在ISA衔接营中，许多学生在上下午的CCA课程前已经筋疲力尽。因此，他们决定设计一个公式，根据学生的具体情况来计算他们在CCA课上的疲劳程度。为了做到这一点，他们从衔接营学生那里收集数据，分析数据，做出合理且有逻辑的假设，创建公式，并用数据检验他们的推理。在导师的帮助下，我们设计了一个程序。此程序可以根据每一位学生的实际情况计算出他们的疲劳程度。在项目结束时，学生们被要求对此次项目研究进行反思。作为一名数学家，他们必须提供逻辑的推理，识别假设，并知道如何提高研究内容的准确性。在本周的数学CCA中，他们都得到了数学家能力的训练。

美术拓展课程
In Arts, after the first week of practice on lines, we entered to create a watercolor painting this week. We use light brush strokes to write manuscript ideas, master the characteristics of watercolor pigments, and use different techniques such as dry, wet, thick and fine strokes. The watercolor color paving adopts the local painting method to control the moisture to make the color connect naturally. Students can take the initiative to consider the primary and secondary relationship of the picture, sketching the black, white and gray layout, the cold and warm relationship in the color, and the pure gray relationship and other issues. It just takes time to master and use tools. As teachers, I am very happy to see them focus on painting their own works, and the idea direction of the works is very in line with their own personality.
在美术课上，经过了第一周对线条的练习后，我们这周进入创作构思一幅水彩画作品，使用轻的笔触去打稿构思，掌握水彩颜料的特性，使用干、湿、粗笔、细笔等不同技法。其中水彩铺色采用局部画法，控制水分使色彩衔接自然，学生都能做到考虑画面主次关系，素描黑白灰布局，色彩中的冷暖关系，纯灰关系等问题。只是需要时间去熟练工具的掌握与运用，作为老师，我很高兴见到他们专注地去画自己的作品，而且作品构思方向都非常的符合他们自己的个性。

In music thsi week, we experienced a variety of musical forms, including, but not limited to, choral singing, niche instruments, percussion, alternative interpretations of music, and an introduction to music making. During the song sessions, we were exposed to songs in European languages other than English. Music production not only covers the essential elements of how it works, synthesizers, mixing, etc., but its knowledge can also be transferred to audio and video editing. Students are also guided to build team spirit and greater concentration through in-class performances and a small number of music-based leisure games.
在这周的音乐课上，我们体验了多种音乐形式，包括不限于合唱、小众乐器、打击乐、另类的音乐演绎、音乐制作入门。在歌曲环节中，我们接触了英语以外的欧洲语言的歌曲。音乐制作不仅涉及了运作原理、合成器、混音等必有的元素，它的知识点还可以举一反三到音频视频剪辑等。此外还通过课堂上的演奏和少量音乐类休闲游戏引导学生们建立团体精神和更多的注意力。
