G10 Selina: I am very grateful to my teachers and classmates for their appreciation of my article. The book I chose this time, Call Me By Your Name, tells the story of two young people fascinated with each other, hesitant, testing, gradually, the emotion in the flow. The encounter lasted only six weeks, but it left a lifelong mark on the protagonist. Because in that sweltering midsummer, they found something they could never find again... I liked the story of the book so much that I chose to write it. This award is not only an affirmation of my past efforts, but also a driving force for me to continue moving forward in the future. I will take this award as an opportunity to work harder to improve my writing ability. This award also made me more understand that a good composition requires a deep literary foundation, keen observation and a wealth of reading, but more importantly, a heart that loves life and pays attention to details. Only with enthusiasm for life, can you write touching words.

非常感謝老師和同學(xué)對我寫的文章的欣賞。這次我選擇的書Call Me By Your Name講述了兩個青年彼此著迷、猶疑、試探，漸漸地，情感在流動中進(jìn)發(fā)。這場邂逅僅僅為時六周，卻給主人公留下了一生的印記。因為他們在那個悶熱的仲夏，發(fā)現(xiàn)了此生再也無法找尋到的東西…… 我很喜歡這本書的故事，所以我選擇了寫它。這次獲獎，既是對我過去努力的肯定，也是我未來繼續(xù)前行的動力。我會以這次獲獎為契機，更加努力地提升自己的寫作能力。這次獲獎也讓我更加明白了，好的作文需要有深厚的文學(xué)功底、敏銳的觀察力和豐富的閱讀量，但更重要的是要有一顆熱愛生活、關(guān)注細(xì)節(jié)的心。只有對生活充滿熱情，才能寫出打動人心的文字。     

G9 Lenny: I'm very happy to participate in this Pound and Pen writing activity. The book I chose is "The ghost who pinched me", because I have read this book more than once, so I know this book very well. There have been difficulties in the process of writing, but it has also exercised my writing and thinking skills. 

非常開心可以參加這個龐德筆耕寫作活動，我選的書是“The ghost who pinched me”，因為這本書我已經(jīng)不止讀過一次了，所以對這本書很了解了。寫作的過程中也有過困難的地方，但是也很好的鍛煉了我的寫作和思考能力。

G8 Sophia: Pen and ponder was a great experience. Already an avid reader this program helped me to review and reflect in a more focused way on what I have read. If it wasn't for pen and ponder I would never have considered the stories that I read so thoroughly. I feel that the exercise assisted me in improving my vocabulary and helped me to be more expressive and thoughtful when reflecting on a the story. The pen and ponder program also allowed me to practice my writing skills. In conclusion, the program is a worth while exercise that provides students with an opportunity to be reflective and to hone their reading and writing skills.
