【Aiden in English】
I have a broken heart to say my goodbyes to the 5th grade. It was one of my best years ever, and Mr. Holloran, my fantastic teacher, was truly exceptional, always encouraging us to do our best. But most of all, the 5th grade was the most awesome in developing a better sense of responsibility and empowering ourselves to become independent learners. This year, I indeed uncovered some fundamental and fabulous skills. For example, my writing ideas were far more creative than in 4th grade, and my expression looked much better. As a result, my writing flourished with deliverance and passion—so much so that I began writing a blog and sought to find my voice. What also truly thrilled me was the speed at which I wrote. Twelve months earlier, I would stress over a tractate for hours to weeks. Now, an essay could be completed in 30-40 minutes, which was a significant achievement. Speaking of speed, my confidence in math often transferred to careless errors. I must understand what Ms. Kornstein, my math teacher, pointed out. Sometimes, it is not about how fast I solve a math problem. In fact, it is about the problem-solving process and accuracy. One quick error can have a scaffolding effect, particularly in Algebra. Nevertheless, this is also why I loved the 5th grade. However, there is no time to cry over it because of a whole summer of fun ahead. Happy summer!!
【紅霞譯】 告別五年級生涯令我心碎，因有十分出色的班主任霍洛蘭“外來者”先生不斷鼓勵我們積極向上而使這一年時光難忘。當然最重要的還有，五年級不僅教我們開始意識責任感，而且讓我們增強獨立學習的自覺性。
今年我的確有了長足的進步，舉例來說，我的寫作思路比四年級豐富許多，表達自己內心世界的能力也大有提高，這樣寫出來的文章既風趣又耐讀，為此我居然扛起筆桿子，通過博客抒發心聲。
值得驕傲的是本人寫作速度之快，十二月前為完成一篇短文，我曾經得耗掉幾個鐘頭甚至數周；今非昔比，眼下我書寫一篇文章最多不超過三、四十分鐘，可見進步顯著。
說到速度，粗心大意千萬要不得，我在數學上的表現恰巧說明這一點。的確，我應好好領悟數學老師科恩斯坦“穀物石”女士的諄諄教誨，解決數學問題有時不能光想圖快而忽視了準確性，粗枝大葉往往會讓人前功盡棄，尤其在代數方面。
上述所及事例足以構成我喜歡五年級的真正原因，然而快樂的暑假即將來臨，目前我暫且來不及感慨過去。 預祝暑假愉快！！
