Bull List Review
Niu Jian'er, a young study abroad expert, felt the following when he first met Xiao S
Xiao S was a little shy at the beginning of the interview, basically just answering the interviewer's questions, and did not expand too much, but under the guidance of the interviewer, he gradually relaxed and became confident, and he could talk to the admissions officer. Therefore, Xiao S needs to develop the confidence and ability to solve problems independently, so that he can stand out in the private school interview.
Xiao S's English foundation is relatively solid, he can communicate fluently with the interviewer, and there are no grammatical errors, his pronunciation is also very good, and the vowels are very full, but he is relatively lacking in vocabulary, and he cannot use some deep English expressions, so he needs to accumulate more scene words to improve his speaking ability.
Competency assessment
Xiao S performed well in the non-verbal reasoning test, and the difficulty of non-verbal reasoning lies in the selection and superposition of graphics in 2D and 3D to examine students' spatial thinking ability, which can be improved by doing more Xi practice.
In terms of verbal reasoning, Xiao S's grades are slightly weaker, and Xiao S can read many questions, but his vocabulary still needs to be expanded, and he can focus on accumulating words in the preparation process, and he will definitely make great progress.
Through the test results, it can be seen that mathematics is the weak link of Xiao S, his grasp of knowledge points is relatively shallow, and there are many questions that lead to loss of points due to carelessness, so Xiao S needs to reorganize the knowledge points and improve his grades through training.
Xiao S's English ability is good, and the comprehensive CEFR English proficiency level is B1, including listening B1 and reading B1, as long as Xiao S can accumulate more reading and add some ways and skills to answer questions, I believe that there is no problem in hitting top schools.
Concerns and demands
Worries: I am worried about how Xiao S will adapt to living alone in the school.
Appeal: I hope that the education method of Xiao S's school will be based on encouraging guided education;Schools can focus more on holistic education, focusing on academics while stimulating children's potential and promoting all-round developmentWant to apply to top 10 schools;I hope she can broaden her horizons and enrich her experience.
Apply to a UK secondary school
After determining the goal of the top private school in the UK, Niu Jian'er's teachers helped Xiao S to improve their language expression, interview skills and other abilities according to the requirements of the school, so as to help Xiao S prepare for the exam and improve the success rate of sprinting to the top school.
In the process of taking the test, Niu Jian'er's teachers focused on helping Xiao S sort out the knowledge points of mathematics, and targeted planning training to help Xiao S make up for her weak links. After a series of training in answering methods and skills, Xiao S has made remarkable progress and successfully won the offer from Downe House (Tang House Girls' High School).
