沃得前言
Shawn 对于关注沃得天下的朋友来说,已经是个比较熟悉了的名字了。Shawn 经常给我们写一些文章,谈谈他的想法和学习情况,和国内的“小朋友”们分享在北美的生活和学习心得等,是个很棒的童鞋!其实,Shawn还有一个小秘密:他是韩静老师的儿子!
今天他和韩老师一起和我们谈谈北美孩子的“学与玩”,我们一起来看看吧!

问问在北美的家长,有多少人是常年做专属司机的?就拿我家的来举列子吧。哥哥12岁,周一和周三要去学习中心学习一个小时的英语阅读(因为在法语联盟学校,使用法语,所以我给他报了英语写作班,他自己很喜欢,就一直坚持着。),夏季的时候,每周三晚上7:00-9:00是篮球队训练时间,爸爸负责接送。周二的晚上6:00-8:30,是教会的小朋友俱乐部,哥哥从小在教会长大,这样的活动坚持了五六年了,也是雷打不动地要参加。以前的周四晚上6:00-7:30是国际象棋班的时间,后来和某一门课冲突了,才放弃了这个时间的象棋训练,哥哥现在还是很遗憾。
夏季的周五晚上是固定的游泳课时间,从一级到现在的十级,也是一年又一年的坚持。周六是Shawn可以自由支配的的一天,所以他的主要娱乐活动是打游戏,只是下午要抽出一个半小时出去打比赛。我们家倒是有这样的规矩,周末绝对不会要求读书写作业,因为就是休息的时间,所以......休息就好!
半个月前,shawn获得了2016年度尼亚加拉地区国际象棋比赛总冠军,同时获得参加2016年加拿大国际象棋比赛安大略省挑战赛资格,接下来听听他自己怎么说。
Shawn,和我们谈谈他的课外学习还有第一块金牌
My new highlight of the month is chess. I went to three different chess tournaments. In the first one, I was competing in one of the four districts. I got first while my friend got second because I was beat him. Then, I competed in the same location for the Niagara region. I got first again because I never lost. However, in Mississauga I was not as fortunate. I lost three games and won The last two I played. When I got there I was a little nervous because I was going to play a lot of really good people that were better than me. In the first game, I played the person that got first place last year. The second and third times I was a little impatient and lost. The last two times I won because I was playing people that weren’t the best. Over all, I think that I need to practice more so next year, I won’t lose three times and win only twice.
