Achieving Fluency for Mainstream English 练就流畅的主流英语
Shen Annie (Xiaoyi) joined the Yew Chung International School of Beijing’s English Intensive Programme (EIP) in August when she became a member of our community, after having attended one of the university-affiliated high schools in Beijing for some time. YCIS Beijing’s English Intensive Programme seeks to provide high level of support for students with different language skills to ensure that they thrive not only in the English language itself but other subjects as well.
今年8月，沈笑依Annie加入了北京耀中国际学校的强化英语课程(EIP)，她在北京一所大学附属高中学习了一段时间后，成为了我们社区的一员。北京耀中的强化英语课程旨在为具有不同语言技能的学生提供高水平的支持，以确保他们不仅在英语语言本身，并且在其他学科上也能。

What have been your views about the EIP Programme?
你对EIP课程有何看法?
I think it’s great because our teacher, Miss. Zikou always finds new ways to help us improve our English. For example, sometimes we watch some films and read some interesting books.

你有过哪些让自己骄傲的成就和时刻? 为什么?
I can express myself correctly now, I can search for information online and make presentations in front of my classmates. Another thing we have done is to create a book about Children’s Rights. I liked that because I think everyone needs to understand that children have many rights too. The last one was during Anti-bullying Week I worked with my classmates and created a poster about it.
我现在可以正确地表达自己的想法，我可以在网上搜索信息，在同学面前演讲。我们做的另一件事是写一本关于儿童权利的书。我喜欢这样，因为我认为每个人都需要明白，孩子也有很多权利。最后一次是在反欺凌周，我和同学们一起做了一个海报。
