The Ferguson Family: The Active Bunch Ferguson家庭：活跃群体
Our community continues to grow and to welcome new families like the Ferguson Family who joined YCIS Beijing last week from the UK. Their children, Rocky and Max, joined Year 6 and Year 4 respectively, while Hannah is an editor and writer of children's books and David works in digital innovation.
我们的社区规模持续扩大，并欢迎上周加入北京耀中的新家庭，来自英国的Ferguson家庭就是其中之一。Hanna是一位经验丰富的儿童书籍编辑和作家，David在一家跨国公司做数据创新，他们的孩子Rocky和Max分别进入学我校的6年级和4年级。
We spoke to them about some of the activities they enjoy doing and what their highlights have been so far, living in Beijing.
我们与他们探讨了他们喜欢的活动以及迄今为止他们在北京生活的亮点。
Please introduce yourselves
Hello! We are the Ferguson family from the UK. Max has just joined year 4 and Rocky, year 6. I'm Hannah (Wilson), a children's non-fiction editor and author. David works in digital innovation (he loves gadgets!). As a family, we like going for bike rides and walking in the countryside. David and I are rock climbers – we met at a climbing wall in London – so we're keen to check out the climbing scene in Beijing. The boys do climb a little, but Max prefers football and Rocky loves his skateboard!
请介绍一下你们
你好！我们是来自英国的Ferguson家庭。Max刚刚加入4年级，Rocky加入6年级。我是Hannah（Wilson），一位儿童非小说编辑和作家。David从事数字创新工作（他喜欢小工具！）。作为一个家庭，我们喜欢骑自行车和在乡间散步。我和David都是攀岩爱好者—我们在伦敦的一处攀岩墙相遇—所以我们也很想在北京体验攀岩。孩子们也会去攀岩，但Max更喜欢足球，Rocky喜欢滑板！
What brought you to Beijing?
David's job has been transferred from the UK. A general love of travelling and different cultures pushed us to make the move happen. I (Hannah) lived in Singapore as a child, so I was keen to give my boys a similar experience of going to school in Asia.
你们为何来到了北京？
David的工作已从英国转移。对旅行和不同文化的热爱促使我们搬来了北京。我（Hannah）小时候生活在新加坡，所以我很想让我的孩子们也在亚洲上学。
What do you most enjoy about living in Beijing?
The energy of the city is great. We love just walking around and soaking up the atmosphere. The clash of the old and the new is so interesting. There's so much to do and the food is amazing.
