上海燎原双语学校

  我从小时候5岁开始接触流行音乐,在听过美国的Pop、R&B风格之后,发现自己爱上了音乐。至此之后每天都会听歌,锻炼自己的英文口音。后来,我意识到自己对旋律,节奏还有语言都有着非常大的敏锐度。比如,在马路上听歌的时候,我会跟着旋律哼唱并且幻想自己在舞台上,会做出相应的动作与表情神态。此外,我对舞蹈也很有热情。我对music preforming萌生了很大的兴趣。

  When I was five years old, I began to come into contact with pop music, and after listening to the pop and R&B styles of the United States, I found myself in love with music. After that, I listened to songs and exercise my English accent every day. I have a very big sensitivity to melodies, rhythms and language. When listening to songs on the road, I hum along with the melody and visualize myself on the stage, making the corresponding action and expression demeanor. Besides, I also have a passion for dancing, so I develop a great interest in music performing. My little dream

  在我小学到初中的时间段里,我并不是一个很自信的人,最初在舞台上也放不开,紧张到不能发挥自己的正常水平。所以我就观看国外一些富有激情能量的live视频,并且寻求音乐专业老师们的指导,还获得了比赛机会,这样以来,我的舞台表演及演唱功底都有了质的飞跃。小荷才露尖尖角,我的小小梦想日渐清晰地成为了我未来的理想。

  In my primary school to junior high school time period, I was not a very confident person. I felt very nervous when I stood on the stage. So I practiced by watching the guidance of some of the passionate energy-rich live videos and visited some music teachers abroad, participated in a few competitions. Then, I have a qualitative leap forward in both stage performance and singing skills. This is a good start for me. My little dream was becoming more and more clear.

  为了扩大自己的眼界,去争取更多的机会并发现更多优秀的音乐人,我从浙江来到了上海,进入了燎原英文部高中。九年级到到十一年级期间,我加入了学校的乐队,并在学校的很多活动中表演。

  In order to broaden my horizons and to strive for more opportunities and find more good musicians, I lef Zhejiang and studied in Liaoyuan. From G9 to G11, I got the first places in Karaokay Competitions; I joined the school band and performed at some of the school's events.

  我参加过学校的卡拉OK比赛,获得了冠军;参加了“慈善日”活动,站在闵行区的龙之梦商场里面对着一群来来往往的人们唱歌; 在燎原户外“万圣节”的活动中,我再次站在了金虹桥国际广场演出;此外,在学校的“感恩节”聚会、在“圣诞晚会”中为全校师生们表演。而最令我难忘的是,2017年美国犹他州星河舞蹈学校访华团来燎原访问期间,我作为燎原表演者之一登上了舞台,和美国的高中生们切磋,看到台下同学们和老师们为我挥舞的手,我第一次感受到了梦想离我这么近。

  I performed for "Charity Day" at Minhang Dragon Dream Mall for a lot of people in the community. I sang songs for Liaoyuan "Halloween" at Golden Hongqiao International Plaza for more people from nearby neighborhood. I performed live shows for teachers and students at "Thanksgiving" and "Christmas". The most memorable event was the one in 2017 when a dance troupe from Utah paid a visit to Liaoyuan. I sang songs on behalf of Liaoyuan. When I saw people waving to me, I felt that my dream so close to me.

  时间飞逝,在燎原就读11年级的时候,我的生活充实极了。托福、声乐学习、钢琴及音乐素养培训成为了我每天忙碌的焦点。我非常感谢当时的班主任Lana、学生处主任Lee,还有ESL老师Jenny,还有我的学科老师们为我提供了很多帮助和给与了最大的包容,我的托福获得了较好的成绩。

  Time flies. Last year, I had a extremely busy G11. I was preoccupied with TOEFL training, piano classes, and music literacy training. I’m very grateful for the help and support from my homeroom teacher Lana, Student Affairs Office Director Lee, and ESL teacher Jenny, and other subject teachers. I got a good TOEFL score.

  我现在就读12年级,正在紧锣密鼓地进行大学申请。目前我已经向美国多所音乐学院提交了申请。 上周我刚参加了一所著名的音乐学院的面试。 这学期注定又是忙碌的。在此,我感谢我现在的班主任Jennifer老师以及校领导Harry, Lee和Peter,还有学科老师们给与我的最大的支持, 让我有充分的时间去准备我的音乐作品集和面试。当然也很感谢学校的升学指导老师Zoe和Jennifer对我申请方面的文书指导帮助与配合。正因为有了你们的支持和包容,我才有更大的信心去迎接梦想给我的挑战。

  Now I’m in G12 graduating class and busy with college application. Till now I have submitted my applications to several music academies in the United States and recently I had an interviewed with a famous conservatory of music. This semester is another busy time for me. I’d like to extend my thanks to Jennifer, my homeroom teacher, school leaders Harry, Lee and Peter and all the subject teachers for your big help and support. Besides, special thanks to Zoe Liu, Liaoyuan college counselor who gives me guidance to prepare my portfolio and interviews. I would not have been so determined to pursue my dream without your help.

  通过多年的音乐学习,我开始录制一些歌曲,也会根据喜好进行改编。我也会自己作曲,创作出了几首自己的原创。同时,我仍在进行进阶的乐理培训及钢琴学习。学无止境,我在追求梦想的路上从不疲惫。

  After years of music training, I start to make some music recordings, and learn to adapt some songs. I also compose music, write several originals. Meanwhile, I am now still take advanced training and piano classes. Learning is a lifelong work and I never stop on my music path.

  我认为音乐成就了我,成了我作为一个人的一部分,成了一个刻在我心口的标签。我的音乐梦想编织进了我的生活。我希望通过去国外的专业音乐学院学习,使我能够对音乐有更加全面的认识和理解,这样我就能真正创造出属于我自己的音乐。

  I believe that music makes me realize who I am. It has become a part of me, and is a label engraved in my heart. My musical dreams are interwoven with everything in my life. I hope that my study in the professional Conservatory of Music abroad, I can have a more comprehensive understanding of music, so that I can really create my own music.

  最后感谢父母给了我生命,让我能够认识自己,找到自己的价值和梦想。我会一直坚持下去的,我知道我行。

  Lastly, I’m indebted to my parents who gave me life. Now I know who I am and what I can do. I will keep going and I know I can.
