在英狮,你可以被精通五国语言的多大学霸导师Carry!
Hi! My name is Shadman Rafiq, I am currently an undergraduate student from the University of Toronto, studying in my final year. I am in Health Science program, majoring in Health Policy and Canadian Studies. I am a Dean's List student for 2 years in a row now at the University of Toronto (dean's list = honor roll).
I moved to Canada just before high school at the age of 14, living in Toronto my entire time here.
I speak English, Hindi, Bengali and Urdu and am in the process of learning Spanish. I am interested in learning different languages as it will help me assimilate in many countries with ease, and would like to learn to speak French and Mandarin in the future as well!
I am a huge sports fan, and am always open for a discussion on Basketball and Football. I love watching TV shows and Movies, so if anyone has a good recommendation let me know! I love to travel, which is unfortunate now since we had to spend the summer indoors basically. Those are all my hobbies!
嗨!我是Shadman Rafiq,目前是多伦多大学的一名大四本科生,我的专业是健康科学,主修健康政策和加拿大研究。我现在已经连续两年在多伦多大学任教务长名单(教务长名单=荣誉榜)。
我14岁前就搬到加拿大,整个时间都在多伦多居住。我会说英语,北印度语,孟加拉语和乌尔都语,并且正在学习西班牙语。
我对学习不同的语言非常感兴趣,因为它可以帮助我轻松地在许多国家中融入,并且将来还希望学习说法语和普通话!
而且我还是一个体育迷,特别喜欢和朋友们讨论足球和篮球比赛。同时,我喜欢看电视节目和电影,所以如果有人有好的推荐,请告诉我!我喜欢旅行,这很不幸,因为我们基本上不得不在室内度过夏天。这些都是我的爱好!
Q2:You teach a lot of subjects in Uforse Education, can you introduce a few of them? (can say something like why you are good at certain subjects like Essay editing, Uni apps, AEC, IELTS)
您在Uforse教育中教了很多科目,能介绍其中一些吗?
I am primarily a University Applications Instructor and have taught classes for every single major Ontario and BC university's supplementary application process. I have conducted both video recordings and written forms, highly experienced in all areas of University Applications. I have gone through the Ontario application process myself when applying for universities, and with the hundreds of hours I have spent guiding our students through the application process I have pretty much memorized every university and it's requirements during it's application process. My personal and professional experience with applications handling makes me a great fit for Uni apps.
I also teach Essay Editing and AEC Level 2 and Level 3 writing. As a policy student, there is a lot of analysis and writing in my educational field. I have had several years and thousands of written texts worth of experience in Canadian English, writing at the highest levels of post-secondary education. Due to my high writing skill and breadth of experience, I have also worked at my university's writing center and peer-review group, helping fellow students polish up their written work to the best of my ability. Once again, my accolades and years of experience working with professional and academic writing makes me a great fit for Writing and Editing courses.
我主要是一名大学申请讲师,并且曾为安大略省和卑诗省的每一所主要大学的补充申请程序授课。我在大学申请的所有领域都进行了非常丰富的经验的视频录制和书面形式的录制。
在申请大学时,我本人已经经历了安大略省的申请流程,并且花了数百个小时在整个申请流程中指导我们的学生,我几乎记住了每一所大学及其申请过程中的要求。
我在应用程序处理方面的个人和专业经验使我非常适合Uni APP。
我还教英文学术写作和AEC 2级和3级写作。作为一名政策专业的学生,在我的教育领域中有很多分析和写作。我在加拿大英语领域拥有数年和成千上万的书面文字经验,这些文字是专上教育中最高水平的。
由于我高超的写作技巧和丰富的经验,我也曾在大学的写作中心和同行评审小组工作,以帮助我的同学们尽我所能完善自己的书面作品。我的荣誉和多年从事专业和学术写作的经验使我非常适合写作以及学术英语教学课程。
Q3: What is your favorite subject to teach and why?
您最喜欢教学的科目是哪一科?
I don't have a heavy favorite, but the subject I lean towards is University Applications. Through uni apps, I feel I get to meet new students and learn a lot about them: their strengths, their academic goals, their professional vision, their life so far, etc. It gives me an inside look into many great young student's minds, which is always refreshing for me.
Q4:What is the most common problem you see on Chinese students when they are learning English language or writing their essays?
您在中国学生学习英语或撰写论文时看到的最常见问题是什么?
The most common problem is familiarity with the English language. The level of vocabulary often times will not be at a satisfactory level for senior high school or university classes, which is where most of my essay editing takes place. Students always have great ideas and more or less can understand the text and their instructions very well, but (through no fault of their own) their lack of familiarity with academic English holds them back from expressing their brilliance and ideology to the best of their ability.
最常见的问题是对英语的熟悉程度。对于高中或大学课程来说,词汇水平通常不会达到令人满意的水平。
学生总是有很好的想法,或多或少可以很好地理解课文和他们的指示,但是他们对学术英语的不熟悉使他们无法发挥自己的才华和思想意识。
Q5:What is your suggestion to your students on improving their writing skills?
您对学生的写作技巧有何建议?
无论要提高什么技能,改进的最佳方法是练习。同样的情况,对于学术写作有困难的学生,请查看你的示例文本和论文以及练习,练习和练习更多。确实是唯一成功的成功方法。
Q6:University application season is starting soon, any advice on how to do well in the supplementary applications?
大学申请季节即将开始,关于如何做好补充申请您有哪些建议呢?
Always try to be direct and concise in your answers, nobody wants to read fluff and unnecessary text.
Don't try to get close to the word limit, just make sure you get your point across well. The word limit is just a guideline, don't fill your answers with fluff and unnecessary words/sentences as applications departments will not want to read any more than they have to.
Always be honest in your answers. Don't try to write answers that you think Universities want to see and hear, write answers that genuinely reflect who you are and how you think. Giving them an honest look into your mindset and ideology is the best impression you can create for them, as being uniquely yourself is the best quality you will bring to any university you apply for.
始终尽量做到简洁明了,没有人愿意阅读杂糅和不必要的文字。
不要为了接近字数限制而凑字数,只是要确保你的观点正确。字数限制仅是一个指导原则,请不要在你的答案中充斥虚张声势和不必要的单词/句子,因为招生部门不希望阅读超出其要求的内容。
诚实回答。不要试图写出你认为大学希望看到和听到的答案,写出真正反映你是谁以及您的想法的答案。诚实地对待他们的心态和意识形态是您可以为他们创造的最好印象,因为独树一帜是你将为申请的任何大学带来的最高素质。
Q7:Some students want to know how to do the uni apps video interview classes? Could you please introduce the classes generally?
有些学生想知道uni apps视频面试班是什么?您能否大致介绍一下这些课程?
The video interview classes have both a written and a video component. The written component are usually short answers that are about introducing yourself, your hobbies, your goals in life, what you want to accomplish in university, etc. Very general questions. The video questions are similar, but instead of a written format you make a short video and submit it. The video allows universities to see how well you deal with answering questions on the spot, and while the questions are fairly easy it allows for them to get an unfiltered look into how you can handle the pressure. Some universities also ask questions regarding current world issues or general topics, to get a sense of your worldview and what kind of mindset shapes the opinions you have. Again, more about them getting to know you better is the objective, not them looking for right or wrong answers.
视频采访课程具有书面和视频部分。
书面部分通常是简短的答案,有关自我介绍,你的爱好,你的生活目标,你想在大学完成的工作等,非常笼统的问题。
视频问题类似,但是你可以制作一段简短的视频并提交,而不是书面形式。该视频使大学可以看到你在现场回答问题的能力如何,并且问题很简单,但它使他们可以毫无过滤地了解如何应对压力。一些大学还询问有关当前世界问题或一般主题的问题,以了解你的世界观以及哪种心态塑造你的观点。同样,目标是让他们更多地了解你,而不是寻找正确或错误的答案。
Q8:What else do you want to say to your students from China? (Anything about life, university experience, story that impressed you or how to improve English etc. )
您还有什么话想跟学生们说呢?(关于生活,大学经历,给您留下深刻印象的故事或如何提高英语水平的任何信息。)
I myself moved from an Asian country to Canada to pursue higher education, and the transition here was a big shock to my system. The social practices, how people think and operate, the openness of communities and belief systems, many things were much different from what I experienced in my early life. Living in Canada especially independently has taught me a lot about independence, but has also allowed me to find a place where I feel like I fit, where I belong. That is my biggest positive change; previously, I lived in a very traditional country that I never really felt too happy in or felt like I was a part of. The country itself is great, and there are many people including my whole family who absolutely love it, but it just never felt like the right place for me. Canada is far more independently progressive, which I think is much more to my taste. The opportunities I have been afforded here both professionally and personally have been a blessing for me.
University life will be very different from high school life, as the workload and responsibilities that will fall on your shoulders will be significantly larger. Despite being in classes with hundreds of people, University is far more independent compared to your prior school experiences, where the importance of being reliable and accountable for your own work is paramount. This includes being prepared for classes before they happen, learning materials in a timely manner and doing work with time to spare rather than anything last minute. Hard work and a good routine is just as important as knowledge and intelligence in college and university, so it’s extremely important to build good habits and try your actual level best in order to succeed in this environment.
'我从亚洲国家搬到加拿大接受高等教育,这里的过渡给我的体系带来了很大的冲击。社会实践,人们的思维方式和操作方式,社区的开放性和信仰体系,许多事情都与我早年经历的经历大不相同。
在加拿大生活尤其是独立生活给我带来了很多关于独立的知识,但同时也使我得以找到一个适合自己的地方,属于自己的地方。那是我最大的积极改变。
以前,我住在一个非常传统的国家,从来没有真正感到过快乐或觉得自己是我的一部分。这个国家本身就是一个伟大的国家,有很多人,包括我的整个家庭,都非常喜欢这个国家,但是从来就没有一个适合我的地方。
加拿大的进步更加独立,我认为这更符合我。无论是在职业上还是在个人上,在这里所获得的机会对我来说都是非常值得珍惜的。
大学生活将与高中生活有很大不同,因为肩负的工作量和责任将大大增加。尽管与数百人一起上课,但与以前的学校经历相比,大学要独立得多,在这里,对自己的工作可靠和负责是至关重要的。
感谢Shadman导师为我们分享他的感受和经验,
接下来英狮教育也会为大家带来更多的优质采访内容,希望大家持续关注~
