FLIS TALK丨实习生计划教会我的那些事

学期之初,我们曾报道过高中实习生计划。上周,参与该项目的三名福州西湖国际学校高中生来到FLIS Talk, 在Jon老师的提问下侃侃而谈,同MYP学子聊了聊自己的实习经历。

At the beginning of the semester, we reported on the High School Internship Program. Last week, three high school students from Fuzhou Lakeside International School, who participated in the program, came to FLIS Talk to talk about their internship experiences with MYP students, and were asked questions by Mr. Jon.

三名学子参与实习生计划的初衷相似,增长经验是他们都强调的一环。Kerim同学出身商人家庭,他想成为比父亲更优秀的商人,便打算从基层做起,了解商品、了解与顾客沟通、销售的秘诀。Jason同学则希望通过实习掌握一些将来工作所需的技能,如合作能力 、沟通能力与领导能力等等。三人实习领域不同:Kerim同学在迪卡侬学习销售管理,Jason同学在大梦书屋了解市场营销,Paul同学在FLIS幼儿园实习,培育未来。

All three students had similar motivation when they joined the internship program, and they all emphasized the importance of gaining experience: Kerim, who comes from a family of businessmen and wanted to be an even better businessman than his father, started from the basic level to learn about merchandise, communication with customers and the secrets of sales, while Jason wanted to acquire skills that would be necessary for his future job, such as cooperation, communication and leadership skills. The three internships were in different fields: Kerim studied sales management at Decathlon, Jason learned about marketing at DiamondDream Bookstore, and Paul interned at FLIS ECE department to nurture the future through education.

对谈中,高中生们慷慨与台下观众分享了自己的日常工作内容、遇到的困难与令自己收获成就感的小故事。Paul同学提到自己给小朋友教数学的经历,这令他受挫、却也让他学到许多——他发现同样的内容,有些孩子学得比较快、有些孩子掌握得比较慢。但他最终领悟到,其实每个孩子都是独特的,自然,他们需要的学习方式也是不一样的。他可以用不同的方式向孩子传授知识。由此,Paul再次实践了辩证思考,用不同手段、不断尝试新方案,直到解决问题。

During the conversation, the high school students generously shared with the audience their daily routines, the difficulties they encountered, and short stories that gave them a sense of accomplishment. Paul mentioned his experience teaching math to kindergarten kids, which was at first frustrating but also taught him a lot - he found that some students learned the same content faster and others were slower to grasp it. But he eventually realized that every child is unique, and naturally, they need to learn in different ways. He could teach them in different ways. Thus, Paul practiced critical thinking again, using different means and trying new solutions until he solved the problem.

学子们同样将实习过程中的最享受的部分一一道来:Kerim同学尤其记得卸货完毕、将货品分类上架的轻松一刻;Jason同学着重提到了完成书店海报设计的一瞬间;Paul同学则提到了和小朋友一起玩耍的趣味:他们对世界有很多好奇,会不断提出一个又一个奇特的问题,用孩子们能理解的方式给出答案,也是相当有趣的经历。

The students also told us what they enjoyed most about their internships: Kerim especially remembered the relaxing moment of unloading and sorting the products on the shelves, Jason highlighted the moment when he finished designing a poster for the bookstore, and Paul mentioned the fun of playing with the kids: they were very curious about the world and would constantly ask unique questions and give answers in a way that they could understand, which was also a very interesting experience.

虽然三名学子实习的工作未必和他们未来的志业相关,但Jon老师表示,即使领域不相关,经验也有互通之处:沟通技能、团队合作技能是每一份工作都会涉及的。因此,每一段经历都相当宝贵。

Although the jobs that the three students interned in may not be related to their future ambitions, Mr. Jon said that even if the fields are not related, the experiences are still interconnected: communication skills and teamwork skills are involved in every job. Therefore, every experience is valuable.


愿高中生们真诚的分享能为MYP学子带来一些启发。感谢他们,我们下期FLIS TALK再会!

May the sincere sharing of the high school students bring some inspiration to the MYP students. Thanks to them, and we will meet again in the next FLIS TALK!
