海归之星｜“学习之星”黄子涵：小托福885分的“秘诀”

在同学们眼里，黄子涵一直是个安安静静的女孩。但正是一向沉静内敛的她，在不久前举办的全球“小托福”（ TOEFL Junior） 测试中一鸣惊人，取得了总分885分（满分900分）的优异成绩，其中听力290，语言300，阅读295。

而且，这是她在完全没有参加任何课外培训班的情况下，首次“裸考”的成绩。

子涵从小就养成了良好的英文学习习惯，每天都会认真完成自己的学习和阅读计划。在英语学习方面，她没有参加课外英语补习班，也没有刻意花大量时间去学习语法和背单词。

她唯一的秘诀，就是坚持大量阅读。从简单的英文绘本、英文故事，到RAZ和A3000，再到英文原著……四年级上半学期，她就已经完成了RAZ所有级别的阅读任务。

当然，英文会话的练习也很重要。还在幼儿园大班时，她就参加了外研社杯幼儿英语大赛。从苏州市赛到江苏省赛，再到北京国赛，她都保持了非常稳定的状态，把自己从阅读中积累的英文知识、语言技巧、表达方式都淋漓尽致地发挥了出来。最后，一举获得了个人组全国总决赛一等奖，全国总决赛演读小达人奖。

对于如今五年级的她来说，英文已经是一种可以熟练使用的学习工具了。

来看看英文小学霸的学习笔记：

作为一个认真努力的IB学习者，子涵在汲取知识养分的同时，也积极参与主题探究和各种社会实践活动，在海归这个融汇中西文化精华、倡导全面发展的平台上自由生长。

从一年级到五年级，子涵一直都保持着优异的学习成绩，在历次的期末测评和MAP测试中，她的成绩都位列前茅，收获了很多来自学校和老师的积极评价。

除了在学业上持之以恒，子涵也很热爱艺术。她从小练习钢琴和绘画，不但打下了良好的音乐、绘画基础，更陶冶了情操。她的很多绘画作品不但入选了儿童画展，还在书画大赛中获得各种金、银奖项。

子涵近期作品

虽然看似有些柔弱，但子涵却是一个非常喜欢体育和户外活动的“运动小达人”。网球、骑行、爬山、滑雪、跑步都是她的热爱。

她每周坚持2次网球训练，周末经常约朋友一起到户外骑行、爬山，每年冬天都会和爸爸妈妈去滑雪。2022年初，疫情居家期间，她坚持每天跑步4-6公里，还在学校的线上运动会中获得了一等奖。

2022年夏天，她还和好朋友一起完成了3天220公里环太湖骑行的壮举 。

认真学习、快乐成长。愿黄子涵能继续保持自己平稳的心态，不断挑战自我，做一个不断进取的终身学习者。
