第四篇:留學(xué)生如何選擇美國寄宿家庭
引語:
美國西海岸寄宿服務(wù)中心(west coast home stay service),簡稱WCHSS,成立于2009年10月,總部位于美國洛杉磯,是一家專業(yè)從事美國未成年留學(xué)生寄宿管理和服務(wù)的機(jī)構(gòu)。The west coast of the United States boarding service centre(west group home stay service), hereinafter referred to as WCHSS, was established in October 2009, headquarters is located in the United States Los Angeles, is one specialized is engaged in the United States a minor student management and services.正文:
越來越多的中國學(xué)生走進(jìn)美國寄宿家庭。有家長很擔(dān)心寄宿家庭的好壞,也擔(dān)心住到寄宿家庭的安全性。有些家長甚至問我,是不是美國窮人才成為寄宿家庭的?也有家長聲明不要到黑人家庭做寄宿家庭。
More and more Chinese students into American host family.Parents were worried about the stand or fall of host families, also worry that live to the security of the host family.Some parents even asked me, if the poor people become a host family? There are parents statement do not host family to the black family.目前中學(xué)生赴美留學(xué)越來越普遍了,很多人對到美國居住、食宿等問題感到頭疼,大部分人選擇了美國當(dāng)?shù)氐闹薪闄C(jī)構(gòu)尋找合適的寄宿家庭,再安排學(xué)生入住到寄宿家庭。但是寄宿家庭都是兼職的,都只負(fù)責(zé)簡單的三餐和接送,無法實(shí)現(xiàn)對學(xué)生的全面服務(wù)和支持。目前,有一些不負(fù)責(zé)任的留學(xué)機(jī)構(gòu),他們把學(xué)生送到美國來后,學(xué)生遇到問題聯(lián)系他們時,幾乎都得不到很好的解決。作為監(jiān)護(hù)人的我們,我們將本著對學(xué)生和家長負(fù)責(zé)的態(tài)度來做服務(wù),全面幫助學(xué)生解決在美國的生活和學(xué)習(xí)問題。我們配備有專業(yè)的人員,給學(xué)生講解需要注意的問題以及生活方式等,并第一時間處理好學(xué)生的問題。
Current high school students to study abroad is becoming more and more common, many people have trouble problems such as housing, room and board to the United States, most people chose the local agency to find suitable host family, arrange students to check in to the host family.Host families are part-time, however, are only responsible for simple meals and transportation, unable to realize comprehensive service and support for students.At present, there are some irresponsible agents, after they send students to the United States, students have a problem to contact them, almost all can not get very good solve.As the guardian of the us, we will in line with the attitude of responsible for students and parents to do service, comprehensive help students solve the problem of life and study in the United States.We are equipped with a professional personnel, to the students need to be aware of issues and lifestyle, etc., and for the first time to deal with students' problems.傳統(tǒng)的寄宿家庭只負(fù)責(zé)學(xué)生簡單的接送和飲食,而美國西海岸寄宿服務(wù)中心作為唯一一家承擔(dān)孩子的監(jiān)護(hù)權(quán)的寄宿管理機(jī)構(gòu),能將主動承擔(dān)起學(xué)生監(jiān)護(hù)人的責(zé)任,全面照顧好學(xué)生的生活、學(xué)習(xí)、學(xué)校等的生活,并提供專業(yè)的心理輔導(dǎo)、講座咨詢,為孩子們規(guī)劃未來。作為這樣特殊的一家寄宿服務(wù)機(jī)構(gòu),能為國際學(xué)生提供全面的后續(xù)管理服務(wù),全面解決家長對孩子低齡留學(xué)的包括法律、住宿、留學(xué)生活、管理等各種問題,真正做到為教育保證,為留學(xué)守航。
Traditional host family is responsible for the student only simple transport and diet, and the U.S.west coast boarding service center as the only one to take custody of the children boarding management institutions, to take the initiative to assume the responsibility of the student guardian, to take good care of the student's life, study and school life, and provide professional counseling, lectures, consulting, planning the future for the children.As such special boarding services, can provide international students with a comprehensive follow-up management services, comprehensive solution to the parents of young children to study abroad including law, housing, study abroad life, management and other issues, truly guarantee for education, for study abroad course.我所在的州是賓夕法尼亞州,歷史名城費(fèi)城就在這個州。費(fèi)城曾經(jīng)是美國的首都,離紐約大約兩個小時的車程。賓州是美國的教育強(qiáng)州。賓州的郊區(qū)地帶大多數(shù)是有中產(chǎn)階級或富人區(qū)。我所在的地區(qū),離新澤西州不遠(yuǎn),是以白人為主的中產(chǎn)階級生活集中地。附近的名大學(xué)有常青藤大學(xué)賓 州大學(xué)和普林斯頓大學(xué),名寄宿高中有佩迪高中,普林斯頓大學(xué)的輸送機(jī)-勞倫斯威爾高中、喬治高中、西城高中、胡恩高中等等。僧多粥少,這些寄宿高中能接收 中國學(xué)生的名額是很有限的。美國寄宿家庭,我這里有很多極其優(yōu)秀的走讀高中和初中。讀走讀學(xué)校,意味著你得解決住宿問題。因?yàn)閲鴥?nèi)的留學(xué)中介大多數(shù)是沒辦法解決這 些住宿問題,所以,國內(nèi)學(xué)生能進(jìn)入走讀學(xué)校的就特別少,也就變成了走讀學(xué)校的中國學(xué)生特別少。I am in Pennsylvania state, historic city of Philadelphia is in the state.Philadelphia was once the capital of the United States, it's about two hour's drive from New York.Penn state is the education of America strongly states.Pennsylvania's suburbs mostly middle-class or rich people's region.My area, not far from New Jersey, is predominantly white middle-class life.College on the outskirts of the ivy league university, Penn state university and Princeton university, pettigrew name boarding high school has a high school, of Princeton university, conveyor-Lawrence will high school, high school, George city high school, high school, and so on.Openings, the boarding high school can receive the number of Chinese students is very limited.American host family, I have a lot of very good day here, high school and junior high school.Read day school, means you have to solve the problem of accommodation.Because most of domestic agents is unable to solve the accommodation problem, therefore, domestic students can enter the day school is particularly less, also becomes less Chinese students special day school.美國西海岸寄宿服務(wù)中心成立于2009年10月,總部位于美國洛杉磯,是一家專業(yè)從事美國未成年留學(xué)生寄宿管理和服務(wù)的機(jī)構(gòu)。從機(jī)構(gòu)成立至今,我們一直專注于學(xué)生國際高中留學(xué)服務(wù)。目前,美國西海岸寄宿服務(wù)中心是唯一一家承擔(dān)學(xué)生監(jiān)護(hù)權(quán)的寄宿管理機(jī)構(gòu)。

明 等。收入一定要處于中等水平或以上。對孩子有愛心,對中國和中國人不反感。至于種族,我沒有種族歧視,我們不會提出只讓白人做寄宿家庭,但由于我這里以白 人為主,所以,想找一個黑人做寄宿家庭反而很難。而且,我們的寄宿家庭一般也有一般大的孩子,所以,學(xué)生來到寄宿家庭以后,會有伴。
Some parents believe that her child's host family is bad, is poor.Children don't get along with host family, and so on.I don't want to evaluation of other institutions is how to choose the host family.But I believe that any this kind of situation.We have a strict selection for host families.We will to host family background investigation, including no crime investigation, and proof to the publicity of infectious diseases, etc.Income must be at the secondary level or above.Caring for a child, for China and Chinese people don't.As for race, I have no racial discrimination, we not only make white host family, but because I'm here to give priority to with white people, so, want to find a black instead host families is difficult.And our host families generally have as big child, so, the students arrived in host families, there will be a companion.未滿18歲青少年監(jiān)護(hù)權(quán)的問題在美國是十分嚴(yán)肅的,如果監(jiān)護(hù)權(quán)在學(xué)校手里,那么學(xué)生就無法順利轉(zhuǎn)學(xué);如果監(jiān)護(hù)權(quán)在寄宿家長手里,那么寄宿家長就相當(dāng)于學(xué)生的法定父母,學(xué)生一旦和美國寄宿家庭發(fā)生矛盾,也無法走出困局。美國西海岸寄宿家庭服務(wù)中心擁有學(xué)生監(jiān)護(hù)權(quán),保障了學(xué)生的合法利益,例如,轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)、學(xué)生旅行、簽字決定、法律效應(yīng)等。學(xué)生在美國發(fā)生任何意外我們都可以作緊急處理,但前提是要跟父母經(jīng)過深入的溝通。

第五篇:美國私立寄宿高中申請的面試環(huán)節(jié)
美國私立寄宿高中申請的面試環(huán)節(jié)
中國申請學(xué)生數(shù)量的劇增,使美國私立寄宿高中的申請在中國學(xué)生中的競爭異常激烈。多數(shù)優(yōu)質(zhì)的美國私立高中每年級在中國招收2-3人。據(jù)陪同學(xué)生參加校園面試的家長反饋,其參加面試的熱門學(xué)校的招生官告知目前已接到上千份的來自中國的申請。為了增加自身的競爭力,很多學(xué)生花費(fèi)大量時間備戰(zhàn)SSAT及TOEFL考試,在自己的申請材料上大費(fèi)周章,達(dá)到別出心裁的效果。然而很多家長卻忽略了面試這一環(huán)節(jié)。在此,筆者根據(jù)多年美國私立寄宿高中的申請經(jīng)驗(yàn),與各位學(xué)生及家長分享一下我對面試的認(rèn)識:面試的作用、方法及技巧。
一般來說,在美國私立寄宿中學(xué)申請中校方都會要求學(xué)生參加各種形式的面試,如校園面試、電話面試、視頻面試、校友面試、教育展中的面試等。舉例來說可能會更清楚一些。如Millbrook School學(xué)校為了測評學(xué)生的英文水平,一般會要求學(xué)生親自到學(xué)校進(jìn)行面試;The Pennington School學(xué)校則不要求學(xué)生進(jìn)行面試,只根據(jù)學(xué)生的申請材料進(jìn)行綜合測評;George School要求國際學(xué)生提供個人視頻介紹。2009年Blair, Hill,Berkshire,等學(xué)校招生主任參加了在北京或香港舉辦的TABS(The Association of Boarding Schools)教育展,對有意向的申請學(xué)生進(jìn)行了面試。今年TABS教育展也將于10月底在北京、上海,11月初在香港舉行,請目前正在申請美國私立寄宿高中的學(xué)生提前準(zhǔn)備。華聯(lián)教育也會關(guān)注此類信息并及時發(fā)布。
面試的作用:學(xué)校通過面試環(huán)節(jié)了解學(xué)生基本信息,畢竟通過雙方互動溝通能夠更直觀的判斷學(xué)生的興趣及潛質(zhì)所在。另一方面這種溝通也是判斷學(xué)生英文水平的方式,學(xué)生在面試中表現(xiàn)的英文水平甚至?xí)Q定學(xué)生在入學(xué)后是否應(yīng)該就讀ESL課程。就學(xué)生而言,無一例外地希望自己能給面試官留下一個好印象,使自己能在眾多申請者中脫穎而出。如果學(xué)生本人英語口語能力不錯,不妨主動爭取向?qū)W校展示一下,主動要求面試,最好是視頻面試。
面試的準(zhǔn)備:對于學(xué)生而言,校方所要了解這個學(xué)生無非通過幾個方面的問題,關(guān)系到學(xué)生自己的個性及愛好、學(xué)生的家庭情況、學(xué)生就讀的學(xué)校。如果家長可以說英語的話,筆者建議家長也主動和面試官進(jìn)行對話交流,以家長的角度向面試官多方面闡述一下孩子的情況,也會為學(xué)生的申請增色不少。所以在面試前,學(xué)生一定要先練習(xí)好自己的口語,運(yùn)用好語言作為交流工具的作用。其次要知己知彼,詳細(xì)了解你申請的學(xué)校背景及優(yōu)勢,找到你與學(xué)校的契合點(diǎn),也就是說全面分析一下你的優(yōu)勢,圍繞以上闡述的三個方面提前進(jìn)行準(zhǔn)備,也建議學(xué)生能在面試時準(zhǔn)備好一些資料,如個人的簡歷,個人照片,成績單等。
面試技巧:第一,注意言行的禮貌。著裝整潔大方,主動打招呼。第二,積極主動提供對自己有利的信息。此時你的謙遜內(nèi)斂也許會讓你的優(yōu)點(diǎn)埋沒,所以在面試中要主動介紹并顯現(xiàn)自己的才能與潛力。如一位學(xué)生在電話面試中應(yīng)學(xué)校老師的要求悠揚(yáng)地唱起了英文歌;
一位女孩與招生官交流時當(dāng)場發(fā)揮了自己素描的功底,現(xiàn)場為招生官作畫。第三,很多學(xué)生在面試時覺得非常緊張,一板一眼,這也不符合西方人的交流習(xí)慣與方式。所以在給學(xué)生做面試前的輔導(dǎo)時,筆者常常告訴學(xué)生“你不要把它當(dāng)成一次嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)正規(guī)的面試,其實(shí)只是一種交流與溝通”。所以在這種交流與溝通過注意彼此的互動。而不是有規(guī)格的一問一答的形式,也無所謂什么標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案。
