访校团雅思8.5分，但他最骄傲的不是这个 IELTS 8.5? That’s not the point
从七年级到八年级，既是William真正成为EABA一员的一年，更是他经历磨炼、青春成长的一年。
Then came Grade 8. The year he truly became part of EABA. The year everything changed.
IP项目中的“失利”与坚守
The IP Project
IP项目（校园环保项目）中，William负责“厨余垃圾生成甲烷实验”。这是他倾注心血的项目。虽然七次失利，但他“屡败屡战”，终近功成。
William led the "Methane from Kitchen Waste" experiment—a project he poured his heart into. Seven failures. Each time, he and his team refined their approach. Each time, they got back up.
推演实验方案、实操实验过程，重构实验逻辑、再现实验结果，William和小组成员协作努力，没有因为实验效果不佳而放弃，没有因为实验数据被意外损毁而中断。在老师的鼓励下，在一遍又一遍的尝试中，在失利的坚守中，他主持的IP项目终获得理想结果。
They refined their approach, ran the process, restructured their logic. They didn't give up when results were poor. They didn't stop when data was accidentally destroyed. With teachers' encouragement and relentless trying, the project finally succeeded.
William说，IP项目既是知识与理性的挑战，又是情绪与意志的锤炼；EABA的项目制学习，不仅是检验学习成果的方式，更是自我成长的过程。
William says the IP project was a test of both knowledge and willpower. At EABA, project-based learning isn't just about outcomes—it's about the journey of growth.
机器人竞赛中的“隐形领袖”
The Robotics Competition
WRC机器人竞赛中，William作为不是组长的核心成员，一直坚持团队优先、努力推进的原则。不仅组长信任他，团队小伙伴也依赖他。
At the WRC Robotics Competition, William wasn't the team leader—but everyone trusted him. The whole team depended on him.
William在解决最难技术问题、决策最难决策之中，和组长一起引领着团队一步一步向前，成为团队认可的“隐形领袖”。
He solved the hardest technical problems. He made the toughest calls. Together with the official leader, he guided the team forward—becoming the "invisible leader" everyone recognized.
William说：“我可以不是站在最前面的leader，只要我是被信任和需要的，那么我就把我应该做的事做好、做成。”
"I don't need to be the one standing in front," he says. "I just need to be trusted and needed—and then I'll get the job done."
他主导设计了双系统控制投石机、全自动分拣机器人。赛场突发故障时，他冷静分析传感器数据，迅速定位代码漏洞并完成修复，带领团队获得2025年世界机器人大赛锦标赛三等奖。他真正成为了那个他追求的“被需要”的人。
He co-designed the dual-control catapult and the automatic sorting robot. When a motor failed mid-competition, he stayed calm, diagnosed the issue, restructured the mechanism, and got the robot back on track. The team won third prize at the 2025 World Robot Competition. He had truly become what he wanted to be—someone who is needed.
当然，在备赛和比赛的过程中，更重要的是在背后默默支持着的老师们，他们陪我们到深夜，为我们的每一次失败鼓劲儿，为我们的每一次进步鼓掌！
what truly mattered were the teachers who supported us behind the scenes—staying with us late into the night, cheering us on through every failure, and applauding every small victory.
校运会的“飞出去”与“跑下来”
The School Sports Day
校运会，他带伤报了好几个项目。1000米决赛，他拼尽全力。途中，另一个班的选手采取了策略性超越，他被绊倒，“飞了出去”。
Already carrying an injury, William signed up for multiple events. During the 1000m final, he gave everything. A runner from another class cut him off strategically. He tripped. He flew through the air.
吕老师冲上去，把他抱在怀里劝他：“别跑了，休息吧。”他挣扎着站起来，继续跑。最后，他超越了两个人。虽然没能拿到好名次，但当他冲过终点线的那一刻，全班起立，掌声雷动。
Teacher Lyu rushed over, held him, and said, "Stop. Rest." William struggled to his feet and kept running. He passed two runners. He didn't win a medal. But when he crossed the finish line, his entire class stood up and cheered.
EABA的同学说：“他飞出去的那一刻，我们都以为他完了。但他站起来的那一刻，我们知道他赢了。”
"He flew through the air, and we thought he was done," a classmate recalls. "But when he stood up, we knew he'd already won."
当William在1500米中获得亚军的时候，他说：“飞出去不重要，跑下来才胜利！”
When William took second place in the 1500m, he said: "It doesn't matter that I fell. What matters is that I finished."
在William的心中，有成长青春，才是真正的青春；有EABA陪伴的成长，才是属于他的成长。因为，EABA是有一个有老师的拥抱、同学的信任和鼓励的掌声的地方。
In William's heart, true youth is youth with growth. And his growth came with EABA by his side—because EABA is a place with a teacher's embrace, with classmates' trust, and with applause that cheers you on.
雅思8.5分，是他给自己坚持学习的答案，也是他对华外托举的证明。但这个故事里最让人惊讶的，不是分数本身，而是他不以刷题备考，而是以漫长、扎实和积累的方式收获。
IELTS 8.5 is his answer to years of consistent learning—and proof of Huawai's support. What's remarkable isn't the score itself. It's how he got there: not by cramming, but through steady, long-term accumulation.
阅读奠基：William从小就养成了阅读汉英双语原著的习惯。他既对喜欢的《Roald Dahl》《Harry Potter》《Horrible Science》《Discworld》等数十套丛书喜爱有加，又对EABA英文老师Mr.T和华附刘校长赠送的英文原著爱不释手。
Reading as Foundation: From childhood, William devoured bilingual originals. He loved dozens of series like Roald Dahl, Harry Potter, Horrible Science, and Discworld. He also treasured the English books gifted by his EABA English teacher Mr. T and Principal Liu.
输出提升：从阅读转向表达，参与英语演讲、辩论、模拟联合国、写作。WSDA英语演讲比赛广州赛区一等奖、WSDA英语辩论赛大湾区一等奖——这些都不是William突击而获的，而是日积月累的自然结果。
Expression as Growth: He moved from reading to speaking—debate, Model UN, speech contests. First prize at WSDA Guangzhou. First prize at WSDA Greater Bay Area debate.
从容应考：初步测试水平达到7.0，再经过系统准备，8.5分水到渠成。“他学英语从来不是为了考试，”英语老师说，“他是真的喜欢。”
Confidence in Testing: Initial test: 7.0. Systematic preparation later: 8.5. Water under the bridge. "He never learned English for the test," his teacher says. "He genuinely loves it."
William的父母都是大学教授。当下，他既拿到了华附的offer，也拿到了清澜山的offer，即将赴清澜山开始他的高中生活。
William's parents are both university professors. He has received offers from both Huafu and Tsinglan School. He'll soon start his high school journey at Tsinglan.

他是一个有光的EABA男孩，注定要走向更广阔的舞台。而华外，是他成长路上重要的一站。
He is a boy with light—destined for a bigger stage. And Huawai was an important stop along the way.
如果把你比作一个软件,从华附小到华外EABA英贝学院，是一次重要的“系统升级”。雅思8.5分是“跑分结果”。那你觉得这次升级，最重要的那个看不见的“应用程序”是什么？
If Huawai was a system upgrade, and IELTS 8.5 was your benchmark score—what's the invisible app you installed?
他想了很久。“应该是——知道自己可以不是一个人。”
He says. "Knowing that I don't have to be alone."
在华外的这段经历，给你最大的礼物是什么？
What's the greatest gift Huawai gave you?
有人在我崩溃的时候抱住我，有人在我摔倒的时候为我鼓掌。他们让我知道，我可以不完美。
Someone held me when I fell apart. Someone cheered when I fell down. They taught me that it's okay not to be perfect.
如果有一天去了新学校，你会把华外的什么带在身上？
What will you carry with you to your new school?
不要怕开口，不要怕失败，不要怕麻烦别人。还有——该做题时做题，该说话时说话，都挺好。
Don't be afraid to speak. Don't be afraid to fail. Don't be afraid to ask for help. And—study when it's time to study, talk when it's time to talk. Both are good.
想象一下，你刚去新学校，又遇到那种陌生的、不知道如何融入的环境。那时的你，会对现在的你说什么？
Imagine your at a new school. You feel lost again. What would you say to yourself?
他看着窗外，过了一会儿转回头：“别怕，你已经学会交朋友了。”
He looks out the window. Then turns back. "Don't worry. You've already learned how to make friends."
我们记录这个孩子，不是因为雅思8.5分——这个分数终会被超越。我们记录他，是因为他在华外的青春，是有人托举、自己超越和自我成长的青春。
We tell this story not because of IELTS 8.5—that score will be surpassed. We tell it because William's youth at Huawai was one where someone lifted him up, he surpassed himself, and he grew.
他学会了：允许自己失利，但自己一定坚持做下去；允许自己不在舞台的中央，但一定成为团队中“被需要”的人；允许自己面对意外，但是一定要坚韧地追求自己的目标。
He learned: to accept failure—but never stop trying. To stand not at center stage—but to become someone the team needs. To face the unexpected—and pursue his goals anyway.
华外，是他学会这些的地方。
Huawai is where he learned all of this.
