With the changing of the seasons, CISK has witnessed the development of its students into upstanding young adults ready to enter the world. And as time has passed, our students have also seen CISK grow as a long-term partner, mentor and guide.

I have been at CISK for nine years now. I have almost forgotten my first impression of CISK since it was so long ago. But my impression of CISK now is that it is very open and the relationship between teachers and students is very harmonious.

For me, the biggest challenge I've encountered so far was the PYP exhibition. I think it was a very difficult time for me and I was busy for a long time with the exhibition on an animal theme.

You must read more and read a lot, because the next course is much, much harder than the previous one.

你们一定要加强阅读，一定要读很多书。因为下一个课程比上一个课程难很多很多。

Nathan  said:

I would advise them that they should work hard and review what they have learned every day. However, at the same time, don't put too much pressure on yourself and give yourself a break, too. In short, put your best foot forward and be the best you can be!

我建议他们应该努力学习，每天复习他们所学的知识。然而，与此同时，不要给自己施加太多压力，也要让自己休息一下，总之，拼尽全力，成为最好的自己！

Whether it was Annie and Steven in the last article or Apple and Nathan in this one, during their years at CISK, they have explored their surroundings and embraced others and themselves as they grew step by step. CISK is not only their educational cradle but also their performance stage.

无论是上期的Annie和Steven，还是本期的Apple和Nathan，在漫长的时间里，他们都在慢慢探索周围，探索他人，探索自己，也在一步一步的成长中拥抱周围，拥抱他人，拥抱自己。CISK不仅是他们的摇篮，也是他们的舞台。
