Dear All NWCS Fellow Members;
Dear All Parents, Teachers, and Students;
各位家长、各位老师；
亲爱的同学们；
大家好！
1．诚邀我校高年级学生家长莅临西雅图教育大展 CORDIALLY INVITING PARENTS TO BE PRESENT AT SEATTLE EDUCATION EXPO
由侨报、南海艺术中心和我校共同主办、麦当劳（McDONALD’S）提供现场礼品的西雅图教育大展本月十五日将在主校大礼堂隆重举行，10:00AM-5:OOPM。包括副州长、副市长、美国大学理事会教育经理、华盛顿大学、波特兰州立大学招生办顾问、优秀在校大学生在内的嘉宾、专家、学者将与广大师生家长的面对面地探讨大学申请、考试、SAT、中文AP、教育资讯等大家关心的问题。西雅图现代教育学院还现场特设SAT 模拟测试。送到家门口的“良师益友”，希望我校学生家长，尤其是高年级的学生家长“知难而进”（停车难），踊跃参加。尽管他人的经验不可能照搬，也不可以照猫画虎似地模仿，但足可以借鉴，只要您能来，替因正常上课无法全程聆听的学子们而来，那您一定会有意外的收获。正应验了“他山之石，可以攻玉”这句至理名言。
NWCS parents are cordially invited to take part in this grand event, for yourselves as well as for your college-students-to-be kids. SEATTLE EDUCATION EXPOSITION, after months preparation，will be held at NHS Theater on October 15th, 2011. Distinguished guests and key speakers include WA State Deputy Governor; Bellevue Deputy Mayor; National College Board Director; Admission Director of University of Washington; Admission Director of University of Portland; Representative from McDonald’s; Representative from Wells Fargo, and so on so forth. Best in Class Education Center is providing free SAT practice tests sections for math, verbal, and writing. Each subject test is twenty-five minutes. Five testing sessions are available starting at 10:15am, 11:15am, 12:15pm, 1:15pm, and 2:15pm. Post-test reviews are scheduled at 4:00 PM. Best in Class Education will be awarding three $100 tuition credits to students who score the highest on all three exams. It is impossible for anyone to mimic somebody else’s successful experience. Yet, it is very possible for us to learn from them and convert theirs into ours. Once you come, you will be surprised to find the worthiness of this trip, just like the Chinese proverb expresses: “There are other hills whose stones are good for working jade——advice from others may help one overcome his shortcomings.”
2．第三届海外华裔青少年中华文化知识竞赛 THE 3RD CHINESE CULTURE CONTEST FOR OVERSEAS CHINESE STUDENTS
本周六，模拟题、答卷纸和模拟题的参考答案将全部发至学生手中，供老师和家长指导帮助学生复习之用。临考前，学校还将做一次模拟考试，比如，用2011年的答卷纸和2009-2010 的考题。有些细心的家长已经已经注意到了，今年的400复习题跟2009-2010的复习题是相同的，但是，从中筛选、变化出来的 100道考题肯定是不同的。因此，模拟考试很有必要，比如，
1）学生熟悉答卷方式，及使用答卷纸；2）教师和学生都可以熟悉题目方式，答题时间，和大概水平；3）已经考过的题目大概总是不会重复的了（即使重复，模拟考试也可以加深印象）。BTW（ 2011年的答卷纸 和 2009-2010年的旧考题 （简体部分）可以从网站下载:
