Chapter 69 New Understanding
Although this is a gold pen and not a fountain pen, this is really good news.
Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief after his property was saved. "That's such a shame! I'll find something else!"
After searching around, she found that he couldn't use the thing the girl used, and he already had a pile of books. Finally, she looked at her own cat alarm clock. Although it was a bit shabby, it must be useful.
Then she went downstairs with the alarm clock and Namir.
Manny liked the photo that Namir gave him very much, and Namir honestly told him the origin of the photo.
Leida still felt a little embarrassed that the photos were not developed properly.
Manny also accepted Zhang Wei's alarm clock and thanked her for reminding him to plan his time.
That's exactly what she meant. A small gift but a big thought. Who told him not to use a fountain pen? Zhang Wei smiled to herself.
Before returning to New York, Zhang Wei finally went to the legendary Devon School.
From the outside, Devon College is a very magnificent British classical building complex, built nearly 600 years ago.
The entire school building is a simple brick red. From the outside, you can see the tallest building inside, which is a white cathedral.
In addition to royal descendants, 20 prime ministers have been born here over the years. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the cradle of Britain's future elites.
No more than 250 students are admitted each year. In addition to domestic students, the school also recruits children of celebrities from various countries. Therefore, in addition to Charles's ability, Manny's own qualities have also passed the assessment to be able to enter this school.
Because of this, Zhang Wei specifically asked Leida whether those people from Beatrice Castle also studied at the Devon School. The answer was no, so if you want to enter here, both academic background and personal qualities are indispensable.
Their guide was a senior student who looked like a young gentleman in a traditional German school uniform, a black tailcoat. He introduced the school's history and some of its curriculum in a gentle and powerful voice.
From his words, I learned that differentiated teaching begins as soon as you enter the school. Although everyone studies basic courses in the first three years, all basic courses are divided into classes according to levels.
In other words, if you have good grades, you can take the fast class, and if you are slow to learn, you can take the slow class. And each course is divided into classes in this way, which means that if you do well in some courses, you can take the fast class, and if you do not do well in some courses, you can only take the slow class.
This method also forces students to study hard. They can't take slow classes in every subject. However, it also makes it easy to find their own strong subjects, which is very helpful for students' growth.
This is all-round differentiated teaching, which is difficult to achieve without strong teaching staff, and the number of students in each class is not allowed to exceed fifteen.
Coupled with the tutor system, it is even more personalized than the ancient private schools, which made Zhang Wei yearn for it.
When they arrived at Manny's dormitory together, Zhang Wei almost drooled with jealousy.
The dormitory is a single room, which looks only about ten square meters. It is not very big, but it has all the necessary items.
With windows that provide good lighting, a private bathroom, wardrobes, shoe racks, and even a shared kitchen, this isn't a dormitory; it's more like a single apartment!
I heard that the dormitory supervisor is also responsible for waking us up in the morning. Young masters are so lucky!
Zhang Wei thought that she would still like to go to a boarding school like this. She had heard that there was a plan to open a girls' school here, but she didn't know if it was true...
Manny was obviously looking forward to his upcoming school life, but also a little nervous. He was very reluctant to see everyone leave.
However, he was still restrained and did not say goodbye with tears. However, Zhang Wei saw that Emma's eyes were red, and Charles also patted Manny's shoulder and gave him a big hug.
So no matter how open-minded and casual they are, and no matter how willing they are to let their children leave, their love for their children will not decrease at all.
It can be said that Zhang Wei’s second visit to the UK was completely different from the first time.
Although she faced pressure to adapt to the language when she came here last year, she basically came here with a vacation-like mood. However, this year made her feel more aware of her shortcomings in other aspects. She also has a general idea of what direction she needs to work towards in the future.
No matter how you look at it, this time you really have to focus on both sports and academics, and you can no longer be perfunctory when choosing clubs like you did last year.
After school started, Dora said she was tanned when she saw her, and asked her if she had gone to the beach specifically to sunbathe.
Zhang Wei wanted to apply sunscreen, but then she thought there was really no need for it at the moment. As a result, everyone thought she was sunbathing on purpose and praised her for looking much healthier.
One of the lifelong pursuits of women in China is sun protection and whitening, but I didn’t expect that it could be easily solved here.
However, she could indeed feel that her appetite had improved a lot after physical exercise, and she was not as sensitive to cold and heat. Zhang Wei felt that if she continued to exercise, she should be able to adapt to wearing only pants this winter.
In the second week after school started, Zhang Wei finally found a sport that seemed more suitable for her - baseball.
Whether it is the agility required as a defender or the arm strength and running speed required as an offensive pitcher, they are all very consistent with Zhang Wei's current training content.
Moreover, this is a team sport that requires a large number of people, and there are relatively few girls participating, so lower-grade students like her are also arranged to fill vacancies in the higher-grade team.
She was asked to join the competition the first time she went, even though she didn't even know the rules. It just so happened that several people took leave that day, so there were less than eighteen people.
Zhang Wei listened to her teammates' instructions in a daze, spinning around on the court, and was lucky enough to hit the ball. Although she didn't score, her hit was not close, and finally she successfully scored with the assist of her teammates.
"Vera!" "Great! Vera!" The teammates danced and shouted.
Although their team lost in the end, her teammates were very enthusiastic about her. After scoring, they even lifted her up, which scared her so much that she thrashed around. Fortunately, they were all very strong and helped her land safely on the ground.
It can be said that she was very happy in this first baseball class because of the coaxing of the young ladies. This was also Zhang Wei's first time to participate in such a group sport. It turned out that the happiness of the group was so easy to be contagious. Zhang Wei also felt very happy in her heart and could not help but look forward to the next club class.
Therefore, you have to experience many things to know whether they are suitable for you. Zhang Wei felt that she was blindly arrogant before and gave up the way to obtain this kind of happiness.
This is true in sports and in our attitude towards mathematics.
Because she gradually discovered a serious problem, after a year, she had to admit that her math level had not improved to the level she expected.
