Looking To The Future: What Are Your Career Aspirations?

你规划的未来是从何时开始打基础的？

Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.

教育是我们通往未来的关键，因为明天只属于今天整装待发的人们。

During secondary school, besides learning the core knowledge and tools to excel, students have also started to explore their career options. This education stage in the Canadian (Alberta) Curriculum helps students find their passions and abilities, which they can use for future professional development.

Every class and activity held and organised by CIS plays an important role as it creates a strong base for the students’ future career prospects. Choosing the right school and the most rigorous program of study is one of the most relevant things educators talk about when discussing the topic of secondary education.

Let’s take a look at CIS secondary students' academic performances and what CIS is doing to prepare our young ladies and gentlemen for a bright and happy future!

在中学期间，除了学习核心知识以外，这个阶段的学生同时已经开始在职业选择上开启了初步的探索。加拿大（艾伯塔）课程帮助学生发掘自己的学习激情和能力，将其用于未来的职业发展道路上。

广州加拿大国际学校举办和组织的每堂课和每项活动都在为学生未来的职业前景打下坚实的基础。选择好学校，以及经过严格把关的课程体系，是教育工作者在探讨中学教育当中最重视的问题之一。

让这些年轻的中学生们有一个开心而光明的未来是学校致力于实现的目标，一起来看看学生和老师们为此都做了怎样的努力吧！

English Language Arts - Junior High 初中英语语言文学

There are numerous benefits to reading in English. As a result, students continue to, regularly, practice this key skill in our classroom, and in our inviting CIS Learning Commons.

Reading, in English, is an enjoyable way for students to improve, for example, their vocabulary, spelling, grammar, as well as for learning in general. Students, continually, enhance their abilities in English by being exposed to a variety of written work, in order to help them learn to appreciate artistry of texts, which, simultaneously, opens them up to a vast world of knowledge.

Moreover, in their English lessons, students continue to work to enhance their reading comprehension skills. Comprehension is very important, as it helps our learners to improve their English reading skills and to develop their understanding of text. It requires the students to study with care and concentration and to develop effective habits. Comprehension also provides our students with useful practice in writing in English, and thereby develops their writing skills. Comprehension increases not only the enjoyment and effectiveness of reading in English, but is of great assistance academically, professionally, and in their personal life.

英语阅读有很多好处。因此，学生持续和定期在我们的教室和CIS共享学习中心练习这个关键技能。

英语阅读是一个愉快的方式来提高学生，例如，学生的词汇，拼写，语法，以及总体学习。学生通过接触各种书面作品，不断提高自己的英语能力，以帮助他们学会欣赏文本的艺术性，为他们打开了广阔的知识世界。

此外，在学生的英语课上，学生继续努力提高他们的阅读理解能力。阅读理解是非常重要的，因为它帮助我们的学生提高他们的英语阅读技能和提升学生对文本的理解。阅读理解要求学生认真，专注地学习，并养成有效的习惯。在英语写作方面，阅读理解也为我们的学生提供了有用的练习，从而发展他们的写作技能。阅读理解不仅增加了英语阅读的乐趣和有效性，而且在学术上、专业上和个人生活中都有很大的帮助。
