Summer vacation is here!
Dear high school students
How do you plan to use this time?
Let's take a look
Famous teachers of various subjects in Zhengzhou Foreign Chinese School
What are the holiday recommendations
Language
Zhengzhou Foreign Chinese School Chinese teacher Jia He
Summer, holidays to. There is no need to get up early to catch the stars, just cultivate yourself to escape the heat. How to make good use of this "lot of free time" tests the habits, abilities and wisdom of every high school student.
Improve planning and cultivate execution. Without the "curriculum" and the lack of the "report card", it is necessary to be able to combine the current situation of study and life, independently make plans and arrangements, and carry out self-study activities with goals, priorities and steps in the process of adhering to the completion of plans such as "daily reading" and "daily practice".
Improve self-discipline and develop concentration. Leaving the "class teacher", without the "class cadre", and losing the daily supervision in school is a huge test of self-discipline, but it is also an excellent opportunity to develop concentration. Students who usually lack self-discipline and concentration should use this holiday to train their endurance and concentration to "be able to withstand temperament and sit on a stool".
Enhance sense of responsibility and cultivate willpower. The rejuvenation of the nation and the progress of society cannot be separated from young people with lofty ideals who are responsible, dare to take responsibility, and can take responsibility. Using vacation time to reasonably and fully participate in social practice activities, volunteer service activities and housework can effectively cultivate a sense of responsibility for the family, society and the country, and can gradually improve the degree of effort and strong quality in the face of difficulties and challenges.
High school is a key stage of a person's growth, maturity, adulthood, and talent, and high school learning life is not just "a few books", "several sets of volumes" and "several courses". I hope that students can enjoy the more advanced happiness brought by "good habits" during the holidays, relax without indulgence, relax but not idle, calm their minds, and quietly become powerful.
Mathematics
Wang Ke, mathematics teacher at Zhengzhou Foreign Chinese School
Hello students, summer vacation has begun. Students can take this opportunity to adjust the rhythm and check for omissions and fill in the gaps. A few suggestions for mathematical learning.
First, review and reflect to solve their core problems
High school math has a lot of content and obvious modules. What constrains your mathematical learning is often a few more focused problems. Students first reflect on and summarize the problems in the previous semester (academic year) and find out the 1-2 core problems that restrict them. Make a breakthrough in this core problem, reorganize and think about the relevant content, check the information, discuss with the students, and communicate with the teacher. Solving these core problems can help you find ways to learn mathematics well and regain the confidence to learn mathematics well.
Second, combined with the requirements of the teacher, according to the personal situation to improve
School teachers will assign holiday study tasks according to the class situation. On the basis of completing the teacher's requirements, it can be appropriately expanded, for example, the new high school students can try to establish their own high school mathematical knowledge system, find out the connections between different modules, and deepen their understanding of mathematics; the new high school students can expand the content of the first year of high school, deepen, and the new high school students can understand the high school math content in advance, find the senior senior and sister to understand the characteristics of high school mathematics, and ask them to share their learning experience and experience.
Third, appropriate extracurricular reading to improve interest in learning
Interest is the best teacher. Recommend two sets of books and a movie to everyone.
"Fermat's Last Theorem – A Mystery That Puzzled the World's Wise Men for 358 Years" is both an exciting storytelling and a fascinating history of mathematical discovery; the book "Elementary Mathematics from a High Perspective", the founder of the world-famous school of mathematics, the Göttingen School, can help you understand what you are learning more deeply and appreciate the beauty of mathematics.
The film "A Beautiful Mind" tells the story of the Mathematician John Nash, a Nobel Laureate in Economics and the founder of modern game theory.
I wish the students a fulfilling and happy holiday!
English
Zhi Jingyi, head of the English teaching and research team of Zhengzhou Foreign Chinese School
Dear students, after a semester of intense study life, the long-awaited summer vacation has finally arrived. Summer vacation is not only a time to rest and relax, but also an excellent time to reflect on self-study and check for omissions and fill in the gaps. So how should we spend a fulfilling holiday through reasonable planning? The English teacher advises students to do the following three points.
First, the opening of the book is beneficial and widely read
The Standards for The General High School English Curriculum clearly states that the extracurricular auditions in the compulsory stage are not less than 30 minutes per week; the average extracurricular reading volume is not less than 1500 words per week. The optional compulsory stage extracurricular audition activities are not less than 40 minutes per week; the average extracurricular reading volume is not less than 2500 words per week. It can also be seen from the national volume B in 2021 that there are many authentic language expressions in the whole set of volumes, focusing on examining students' advanced reading comprehension ability. To cultivate true reading comprehension ability, in addition to textbooks, students also need to improve their abilities by reading various genres of reading materials outside of class.
1. What to read?
(1) Read novels, read magazines
Wonder, Flipped, A Street Cat Named Bob, Holes, Maus, The House on Mongo Street, The Giver, Counting the Stars, Wallflower Boy, Sherlock Holmes Series, Little Women, Alice in Wonderland, To Kill a Mockingbird, 20th Century Events, 21st Century Newspaper, Air English Classroom magazine, etc.
(2) Watch celebrity speeches or TED videos and read speeches. Recommend a few speech videos that are more suitable for everyone:
1. Try something new in 30 days
2. Three things I learned while my plane crashed
3. Keep your goals to yourself
4. The world’s English mania
5. Why do so many people reach success and fail?
6. A gift
7. Remember to say thank you
8. Sleep deprivation
9. The value of being wrong
10. Importance of praise
11. Why you think you are ugly is bad for you?
12. The power of introvert
13. Awesome
14. Chinese zodiac sign
15. The power of Not yet
2. How to read it?
(1) Timing
It is recommended that students make a reading plan, for example, they can read a book in 10 days, of which 7 days to read the first time, and the 8th day to review and sort out the content of the whole book. Day 9 focuses on important words, sentences and paragraphs. Day 10 Do a pen reading after the summary activity.
(2) Deepening and sorting out reading comprehension
In order to better deepen our understanding and promote thinking on the topic of reading, we need to combine reading and writing. For example: (1) annotate next to the page during reading; (2) record impressive vocabulary phrases, sentences, and beautiful paragraphs by excerpting; (3) use the form of mind maps to sort out the characters, plot, and story synopsis of the article after reading; (4) write about the after-reading feelings. You can learn from the reading circle activity to choose different roles and entry points to write. It can be a summarizer, a summary of the full text or the content of the chapter you like, a connector, a linker, a link in the plot and life reality, to express inspiration and help for your own life, a word master, looking for a word master, looking for the accumulation of key words or new words, can be a passage person, find out the important or difficult paragraphs of the article, and conduct role, personality analysis or interpretation It can also be a culture collector, collecting cultural phenomena in the book and looking up relevant information through the Internet to learn more about British and American culture.
(3) Combining reading and memorizing, and reading and reciting classic speech passages
When watching celebrity speeches or TED speech videos, you can listen to them once or twice, mark out the places you don't understand in the speech, and solve the problem of word comprehension through a variety of ways. Then listen blindly without reading the speech, and then you can choose the classic passages to imitate reading aloud or even memorize.
(4) What should I do if I encounter new words?
Not all new words need to be looked up in the dictionary. Some new words can be ignored, and some can be guessed according to the context, which are the embodiment of reading comprehension ability. Important words that affect comprehension can be looked up in the dictionary. If you feel that the amount of new words is too large when reading, you can choose a relatively simple reading or you can suddenly memorize the vocabulary book. But be aware that the purpose of the raid vocabulary book is to reduce the vocabulary barrier in our reading, so that we can gain more confidence in reading. We should not make the endorsement of vocabulary books the purpose of our learning. Only through a lot of extensive reading can we get more information, really master more vocabulary, and achieve the improvement of reading comprehension.
Students should realize that extensive reading is not only to improve our reading ability, but also to cultivate our reading literacy and humanistic literacy. In the process of reading, especially when reading Filmual books, our minds are actively involved, and we imagine in our brains to depict the plot described in the book, but in fact, we are introvertedly caring for our own hearts. We can see life, experience life, and understand the world from the perspective of the viewer. Then reflect on yourself, to understand yourself more deeply, to discover yourself.
Second, take precautions and do a good job of preparation
Arrange the summer time reasonably, and prepare the content of the next semester, especially the learning content of the first two weeks. When preparing, when encountering unfamiliar new words, mark and look up the dictionary, and initially understand the pronunciation and meaning of the words, which can not only sweep away reading barriers, but also cultivate their own learning ability. You can mark out the places you don't understand in the textbook, so that you can be more targeted and purposeful when listening to the lectures, so that you can more easily grasp what you have learned. When preparing, it is necessary to read the text aloud, and reading aloud can strengthen memory more than silent reading, and can cultivate good language expression skills. While reading aloud, pay attention to difficult sentences, the main idea of the article, and the author's writing emotions. At the same time, when preparing, we should also contact the old knowledge and deepen our understanding through the transfer of knowledge. Through pre-study, we can not only improve the effect of classroom listening, improve the interest in learning, but also cultivate a good quality of learning, in the pre-study through their own active exploration, we experience the success and frustration in learning, cultivate rigorous and meticulous learning habits.
Third, check and fill in the gaps, and do the questions appropriately
Doing questions can test our learning effect and find problems in learning. Only when we find problems can we analyze the causes of problems and find solutions to them. After doing a few sets of English test questions, we can summarize, where do our problems appear? Is it a lexical problem (including vocabulary recognition, inaccurate vocabulary use, fixed collocation)? Is it a grammatical problem (every word is recognized, but it is still difficult to read when encountering long and difficult sentences with complex structures)? Or is it a problem of reading comprehension ability (including the acquisition of detailed information, the induction of the main idea, the reasoning and judgment, the grasp of the structure of the article, the author's writing intention, etc.)? Or is it unclear and careless? After discovering the cause of the problem, it is necessary to start to study the solution to the problem, such as: vocabulary and reading comprehension ability problems can be solved by combining intensive reading and extensive reading, especially increasing the amount of extensive reading. Grammar problems can be reinforced through special review and appropriate amounts of questions. Carelessness is not enough attention to detail, you can do some exercises that are not difficult enough, but need to pay attention to details.
Finally, I hope that the teacher's above suggestions can give you some inspiration and help about English learning. If you want to learn English well, you can't do without accumulating persistence, the so-called "no accumulation of steps can not reach a thousand miles, no accumulation of small streams can not become a river and sea." "Insisting on doing simple things well is not simple, and insisting on doing ordinary things well is extraordinary." Make a clear learning goal, do a good job of summer planning, spend a fulfilling, pleasant, hard and meaningful summer vacation, I believe that the future of the excellent you will thank you for today's struggle!
Material
Li Meng, physics teacher at Zhengzhou Foreign Chinese School
Summer vacation has arrived, and in the face of the longest holiday in a school year, it is especially important to plan and spend it well. Here's how to make the most of your summer vacation and learn physics more scientifically and effectively.
First, a physics study plan needs to be developed. On the one hand, there is time planning, which is specific to which days and which time periods are used to learn physics; on the other hand, there is content planning, which must have both the consolidation of old knowledge and the preview of new knowledge.
Then there is the specific implementation, the consolidation of old knowledge is to review the content learned in the past semester, the way to review can be to write again the typical example questions and wrong questions accumulated in the previous semester; it can also be to buy a test book of the previous semester, preferably distributed by chapter, and practice a set of test papers in each chapter. If you have questions and confusion during this time, you may wish to flip through old notes or contact teachers and classmates.
The new knowledge preview should read through the physics textbooks of the new semester, and the problems or incomprehensible places should be highlighted, so as to make themselves more purposeful when listening to the lectures in the new semester. Whenever you finish a small section, it is best to complete the corresponding after-school exercises in the textbook, and the answers to the exercises can be downloaded from the Internet.
In addition, be sure to set aside time to read some physics popular science books, such as "The Circus of Physics", "From One to Infinity: Facts and Speculations in Science", "Terrible Symmetry - The Exploration of Modern Physics in The United States and China", "The Arrow of Time - The Scientific Journey to Uncover the Greatest Mystery of Time", etc. You can also read the biographies of some physicists, such as "Newton", "Faraday", etc., and you can also walk into the local science and technology museum to expand your horizons by demonstrating scientific experiments, observing scientific phenomena, participating in popular science activities To enrich your own experience and enhance your interest in physics.
Chemistry
Ma Hong, head of the chemistry teaching and research team of Zhengzhou Foreign Chinese School
1. Preparation for the new semester
【New High School】
In order to better adapt to the chemistry learning of the new section, it is recommended to understand the presentation of the chemistry test questions in the college entrance examination with the senior sister, the knowledge examination and ability requirements, and understand the characteristics of high school chemistry learning. Understand the layout of the three-year chemistry in advance and know it well.
【New High School Sophomore】
1. Do a good job of reviewing and articulating
The new high school sophomore enters the "Principle of Chemical Reaction" module, which is the most difficult point in high school chemistry, and it is also an extension of the compulsory two of high school. Therefore, if the foundation is not solid, it is necessary to make up for the weakness in advance.
2. Do a good job of pre-study
You can select the "Chemical Reaction and Energy Change" and "Electrochemical Basics" sections for pre-study to cultivate independent learning ability. The pre-study process marks the problem and waits for the opening of the school to be solved, so that the learning of the opening of the school will be more focused and purposeful, and the learning effect will be better.
【New Senior Year】
1. Do the 2021 new course standard B chemistry test questions in a limited time, score points, and complete the summary analysis. Intuitively feel the characteristics and difficulty of the college entrance examination, experience the ability requirements of the college entrance examination, and clarify the next learning direction
2. Personalize the content of a round of review
3. Do independent review of the next round of review sections in advance, mark the problem to solve it yourself or focus on solving it when waiting for the return to school.
2. Social practice activities and family fun experiments
Chemistry is closely related to production and life, and doing family fun experiments or social practice activities related to chemistry is not only conducive to mastering textbook knowledge, but also conducive to cultivating subject interest. For example, dismantling waste zinc-manganese dry batteries to understand the internal structure and review the working principle; such as looking for chemistry in the kitchen, understanding the relationship between the application of substances and properties. When you go out of the house, you can go to the water company to learn about water purification and testing; to learn about air quality testing or chemical plant wastewater treatment.
It is important to note that family fun experiments must be conducted under the premise of ensuring safety, and if necessary, be sure to consult a chemistry teacher first.
Biological
Zhang Changhe, head of the biology teaching and research team of Zhengzhou Foreign Chinese School
Summer vacation is here! How to make your summer vacation life colorful and fruitful, scientific and reasonable planning is particularly important. The following teachers combined with the high school biology discipline to talk about the arrangement of learning activities related to the biology discipline, hoping to help the students.
Tip 1: Read – Broaden your horizons
Recommended Bibliography 1: "Qi Min Zhi Shu". Reason: "Qi Min Yao Shu" is a comprehensive agricultural work written by Jia Sixun, an outstanding Chinese agronomist, one of the earliest monographs in the history of world agronomy, and the earliest complete agricultural book in China. It is known as the "Encyclopedia of Ancient Chinese Agriculture".
Recommended Bibliography 2: Compendium of Materia Medica. Reason: "Compendium of Materia Medica" by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty. It is the culmination of China's pharmaceutical achievements before the 16th century. It is also a naturalistic work with worldwide influence. It is praised by foreign scholars as "the great classic of Oriental Pharmacy".
Recommended Bibliography 3: On the Origin of Species. Reason: "The Origin of Species" is a biological work by the British biologist Darwin who systematically expounded the theoretical basis of biological evolution. In the book, Darwin based on the large number of research materials accumulated over more than 20 years in many fields such as paleontology, biogeography, morphology, embryology and taxonomy, with natural selection as the center, demonstrated the diversity and unity of the origin of species and the natural world of life from the aspects of variability, heredity, artificial selection, survival competition and adaptation. "The Origin of Species" not only ushered in a new era in the history of biological development, so that the idea of evolution penetrated into all fields of natural science, but also caused a huge revolution in the entire human mind, which has a wide and far-reaching impact on the process of world history.
Recommendation 2: Investigate – Combine theory with practice
Biology is closely related to the reality of life, and students should do some simple and feasible biological investigations, which can not only cultivate students' interest in scientific research and the method of writing scientific research papers, but also link abstract biological theories with the real scenes of vivid investigation and research, and apply what they have learned. For example, epidemic prevention and control, garbage classification, three-dimensional agriculture and so on.
Recommendation 3: Experimentation – the ability to transfer knowledge
Students can use the vacation to plan a part of the time to do some interesting biology experiments related to the learning content of the textbook, such as the production of rice wine, the production of kimchi, yogurt making, bread making, blood group identification, blood pressure determination and so on. Through experimental operation, the theoretical knowledge learned will be deepened and operational skills will be formed.
In addition, students can also make plans to regularly go online or visit the Science and Technology Museum to find hot issues related to biology and the frontiers of biotechnology.
Politics
Li Qiong, head of the political teaching and research team of Zhengzhou Foreign Chinese School
Students have started summer vacation life, learning, practicing, growing, in order to make everyone's holiday life more fulfilling and meaningful, I give students a few suggestions from the perspective of political science:
New High School One:
1. "Interest is the best teacher". Clarify the modules of high school politics and stimulate enthusiasm for political learning.
2. "A good start is half the battle". A simple reading to understand the content of the textbooks for the first semester of the new high school, warm-up for political studies in advance.
3. "Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned." Watch the newscast and follow the current political news.
New High School Sophomore:
1. "Learn and learn, don't say anything". Review compulsory one "Economic Life" and compulsory two "Political Life", and review in an orderly manner according to the knowledge context of the unit.
2. "On paper, I finally realized that I had to do something about it." It is recommended to participate in a social practice activity or do a social survey, and write a practice summary or survey report.
3. "Body and soul are always on the way". Read a book related to philosophy, recommended bibliography: The Story of Philosophy will Durant; Your First Philosophical Book, Thomas Nagel; And Sophie's World, Jostan Judd.
4. "Have a home and a country in your heart, and have the world in your heart." Watch the news broadcast, pay attention to current political news, enhance political identity, and enhance political literacy.
New Senior Year:
1. "Read the book thick first, and then read the book thin." Return to the textbook, list the unit knowledge system, and realize the "point-line-surface".
2. "Understanding is the premise, memory is the key, and doing the problem is the guarantee." Students should use their vacation time to memorize political terminology and do a good job of time-limited training in a planned way.
3. "The true meaning of learning lies in internalization". Make summary notes in time, and review the effect with half the effort.
4. "Please rest assured that the strong country has me." Pay attention to current politics and world affairs, and never forget to repay the country' heart. Watch the news broadcast, analyze the hot spots of current politics with disciplinary thinking, apply what you have learned, and integrate knowledge and action.
History
Lin Cong, history teacher at Zhengzhou Foreign Chinese School
I'm glad to have the opportunity to give you some summer advice for high school history subjects, because after all, the time left for history subjects in the summer is very limited. In the summer, the students still shoulder the heavy responsibility, and as a history teacher, they understand your situation very well. But I have to say that summer vacation – not to your academic performance, but to your growth – is indeed very important. Teacher Lin nagged a few words, hoping to inspire you a little.
1. To read. Reading literature, history, or other disciplines is not the most important, and it can be completely according to their own interests. The most important thing is to read classic books that are difficult, can expand their cognition, and even have an impact on existing cognition. Otherwise, reading can only solidify existing cognition, and even become a pastime of words. If I want to recommend, history can read biographies of people, "Mao Zedong" and "Lincoln biography", read some key points, and be sure to "cover up my own thoughts, so that I encounter such things, as if they were somewhere.". Only then will it be wise.
2. Think. Pay attention to learning everywhere, a few classmates go out to play together, do you have the same idea? What is your mindset when there are inconsistencies? How was it finally discussed and agreed upon? This will help you develop a personal understanding of political history. Made a detailed summer vacation plan, but how did you execute it? If the execution is poor, why? - Socrates, Aristotle, Wang Yangming, etc. have all discussed similar "knowledge-action relations". Even if you are playing a game, why did you start out and eventually collapse, and what stages did your mindset go through in the process? This will strengthen self-awareness and reflection.
3. Write. Write only for yourself, don't care too much about writing and rhetoric, the key is to record what you think, think, and confuse. Otherwise, good questions and the fruits of thinking will soon evaporate with time, which is a pity.
Space is limited, so stop here. I hope that all students can meet a better version of themselves at the end of the summer.
Geography
Zhang Weili, geography teacher at Zhengzhou Foreign Chinese School
Geography is a comprehensive discipline of nature and humanities, which pays more attention to the relationship between human beings and the living world. In order to really learn geography, it is not enough to just stare at textbook knowledge, but also needs to be expanded, and it is necessary to immerse yourself in the real situation of nature and society, and to promote action with knowledge and unity of knowledge and action.
High school students usually have a heavy burden of schoolwork, many students have the feeling of "being pushed away", and the long summer vacation is a good opportunity to arrange independently, so since the summer vacation is coming, let's do something that we usually can't do!
As far as geography is concerned, the teacher gives you the following suggestions:
1. Walk outdoors once. Reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, and what you learn in the classroom can only be internalized into true subject literacy if it is practiced and applied in real natural and life situations. Please arrange your own itinerary, leave the area you are familiar with under the premise of ensuring safety, measure the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland, experience the customs and customs of various places, compare the differences between walking places and your hometown, and try to use the knowledge you have learned to think about the phenomena you see and hear.
2. Watch a documentary. Video data dynamically records natural scenery and human events around the world, and if you can't be there in person, watching a documentary is also a remedy. "Aerial Photography of China", "National Memory , Granary of a Great Power", "Planet Earth" series, etc. are all interesting and connotative films, and it is recommended that you have a choice to watch.
3. Read a book. To expand subject knowledge, subject reading materials other than national textbooks are indispensable, such as Geography and Life, the Course of Life on Earth, etc. are all good choices, and "China National Geographic" is also a good popular science book.
4. Do a social survey. Learn about the customs, crop types, industrial developments, etc. of your hometown and keep a record.
In addition, pay attention to the countries and regions mentioned in the daily TV news, see more maps, pay more attention to weather forecasts and meteorological changes, and your geographical literacy will definitely get higher and higher!
