4月17日、18日，我校组织42名初中学生参加了2021年的世界学者杯上海地区赛。世界学者杯大赛是一个注重个人以及团队的学习能力、协作能力的国际化学术盛宴。整个比赛持续两天并且分为四大板块，分别是团队辩论，协同写作，学者知识挑战和团队抢答。经过两天激烈比拼、角逐，最终我校学生斩获44块金牌，56块银牌以及团队写作亚军。通过这次比赛，我们锻炼了自己的学术水平，结交了许多新朋友。
On April 17th and 18th, 42 middle school students from SUIS Qingpu participated in the World Scholar‘s Cup Shanghai Regional Round. The World Scholar’s Cup is an international academic feast that focuses on individual team learning ability and collaboration ability.

获奖感想
Reflections
7D Lisa 康紫玥
世界学者杯是一场学术盛宴，是展现自我，挖掘自我的机会。我很高兴能参加这次比赛。在这次比赛中，能够获奖并和队友一起进入到全国赛，我感到十分荣幸。在此，我要感谢学校给我这个机会，感谢老师专业的指导。两天的比赛，我收获的不仅是知识的本身，更是多种能力的提升。WSC让我眼界放得更宽广更长远，以一个多元化并兼具包容性和批判性的思维方式，去看待这个奇妙的世界。在下次全国赛中，我会更加努力，不断挑战自我。WSC,不负遇见，七月再见！
The World Scholar’s Cup is an academic feast and an opportunity to show and explore yourself. I’m very happy to take part in this competition. In this competition, I felt very honored to win the prize and enter the semi-global round together with my teammates. Here, I would like to thank the school for giving me this opportunity and the teachers for their professional guidance. During the two days of competition, I not only gained knowledge, but also improved my abilities. WSC allows me to have a broader and more long-term vision. It made me view this wonderful world with a diversified, inclusive and critical way of thinking. In the next semi-global round, I will always work harder and challenge myself. WSC, it’s so worthy to meet you, see you again in July!

对于我来说，WSC不仅仅是一场比赛，它更像是一场学习的庆典。在短短两天的时间内我们参与了知识竞答，协同创作，知识挑战和团队辩论赛四大核心项目。每一个项目的理念都极具吸引力和独特性，而其中的主题也很特别，我想这也是我认为这是一场学习庆典的原因之一。总而言之，在此期间，我成长了很多。这场比赛带给我的是丰富的知识，宝贵的经验以及独特的思维方式，更重要的是激发了自己的潜力，遇见了一个更好的自己。为了遇见更大的羊驼，加油！
For me, WSC is more than just a game, it is more like a celebration of learning. In just two days, we participated in the four core projects of knowledge contest, collaborative creation, knowledge challenge and team debate. The concept of each project is very attractive and unique, and the theme is also very special. I think this is one of the reasons why I think this is a celebration of learning. All in all, during this period, I have grown a lot. What this game brought me was a wealth of knowledge, valuable experience and unique way of thinking. More importantly, it stimulated my potential and met a better version of myself. In order to meet a bigger alpaca, come on!

WSC对我而言是一段宝贵且有意义的经历，长达近两天的竞赛对于我们来说，不仅仅是对体力、脑力的考验，也是对心理素质、世界文化积累以及团队协作能力等方面要求很高。在备战期间，我们从材料和拓展研究中学习到了很多课外知识，在team debate上也取得了很大进步。在比赛中我们遇到了许多十分优秀的选手，从他们身上学到了很多优秀的品质，且收获了珍贵的友谊。我们光荣地获得了小组写作亚军，我个人也获得了两金两银，成功的晋级了全国晋级赛。通过这次比赛，我还意识到了自己的不足，在世界文化积累上宽度和深度都需要加强,希望我们共同进步，在七月份继续突破自我。
WSC is a precious and meaningful experience for me. For us, the nearly two-day competition is not only a physical and mental test, but also a high demand on psychological quality, accumulation of world culture and teamwork ability. During the preparation period, we learned a lot of extra-curricular knowledge from materials and extended research, and also made great progress in the team debate. In the competition, we met many excellent players, learned a lot of excellent qualities from them, and gained valuable friendship. We were honored to win the gold medal for group writing, and I also won two gold and two silver MEDALS, successfully advancing to the national advanced competition. Through this competition, I also realized my own shortcomings. Both the width and depth of the accumulation of world culture need to be strengthened. I hope we can make progress together and continue to break through ourselves in July.
