UCLA暑期项目主管对今年中国学员的评价

今年是UCLA自办针对中国学生的暑期项目的第一年（项目介绍：[url=http://ww123.net/thread-4804649-1-1.html]http://ww123.net/thread-4804649-1-1.html[/url]）
我们有两位旺友的孩子报名参加，刚在加州度过了三周
从GerryBB的分享中，感觉得出孩子在这个项目中有不少的收获，也很开心

而我那负责联络报名的朋友在近期跟项目主管的交流中，收到他对本次学员的评价
看起来，中国孩子给他们留下了很好的印象（这个项目有个目的是要挖掘UCLA未来的学生）
同时，他也提到这些孩子可以进一步发展的空间
另外，他们也希望能从中国家长这里得到建议和反馈，以推进明年的项目

下面是邮件原文（两个孩子我就用 旺A 和 旺B 代替）——

All of the students were [color=red][b]smart and delightful[/b][/color] and seemed to like the program a lot.  As for UCLA, we very much enjoyed hosting them.  It took the first couple of weeks to get all the students to be less shy about speaking, but by the end all of us became very close and they each gave a short but touching speech to the Dean at the graduation ceremony.  He was very impressed.   Of all the students,  旺A and 旺B were the most perfect for the program, in that they worked a bit harder than the others on the academic segments.  They are fine students, and [color=red][b]I offered to write letters of recommendation for both of them if they still remember me in two years and decide to attend American Universities.

[/b][/color]It was a very intense three weeks.  We are going to wait about a week at this end, then we will start thinking about how the program can be improved.  We have lots of feedback from the students, but [color=red][b]we would welcome any feedback from the parents as well. [/b][/color] One problem is that the academic content is what the parents want the most, while the students much prefer the recreational activities.  We have to find a good balance.

Also, we had some feedback from China that some parents would like courses for credit.  While this is not impossible at UCLA, we felt that the students while probably academically capable of understanding a lot of the material, do not yet have enough English comprehension to understand many of our faculty teaching courses with academic terminology and speaking at their normal rate of speech.   We were very impressed with all the students, most of whom were 9th graders, but with the exception of 旺A and 旺B who are extremely serious academically, that might be a little young for many students to really be ready to be thinking seriously about their university choices.

[font=Helvetica]Thanks again for finding such[color=red][b] outstanding[/b][/color] students.  We were impressed.[/font].

无他，就是一些通常的米国式的鼓励，关键在自己，不在别人。.

恩 关键还是孩子们自己的收获最实在 :)

但作为招生员的朋友，看到他们对接下来项目的继续进行有了更多信心和期望，也很高兴
这样的机会，总是多多益善的.
