Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you.
今年,我们让大娃再次报考 Perse,同时也报名了 Stephen Perse——这也是一所私立学校,考试时间正好安排在 Perse 考试的下一周。原本的计划是让他以 Stephen Perse 考试当作练手,结果却发现 Stephen Perse 的考试在 Perse 之后。
选择让孩子考 Stephen Perse,是因为感觉他可能考不上 Perse:太卷了。从考试难度上来看,孩子的反馈也印证了这一点:Perse 确实更难一些。
如果最终没能考上 Perse,我们打算让孩子去 Stephen Perse,算是“曲线救国”。因为 Perse 的部分名额会预留给剑桥几所私校的学生,比如 St John’s、Stephen Perse、King’s College School 等。这些私校的课程仅到 8 年级,并且会有针对性的私校升学准备,因此竞争非常激烈。
We really enjoyed meeting XXX at our recent entrance testing day. Through the assessment process, XXX performed impressively, demonstrating strong academic potential.
I am therefore very pleased to be able to offer him a place to start at Stephen Perse Cambridge Senior School in Year 9 in September 2025.
In addition, recognizing XXX’s excellent academic attainment across the assessments on our entrance testing day, I am delighted to award an Academic Scholarship to the value of a 50% discount of school fees for Years 9-11; please note that all students have the opportunity to apply for further scholarships at later points in their school careers. As an Academic Scholar, XXX will be expected to contribute to and promote the academic life of the School.
In terms of XXXX additional scholarship application, the Music department have asked me to pass on that they very much enjoyed meeting XXX at the assessment session, but, due to the very competitive field of applicants this year, were unable to make an offer of an award at this time. As with academic scholarships, all students have the opportunity in (re)apply for scholarships in co-curricular areas at later points in their school careers.
We very much hope that XXX will be really excited to accept our offer to join Stephen Perse Cambridge Senior School. We are committed to providing a challenging and stimulating academic environment in which all of our students can thrive and achieve their best, supported by exceptional pastoral care and a diverse range of engaging co-curricular opportunities.
I ask that you please confirm acceptance of the place at your earliest convenience, and no later than 4 March 2025, after which it may be offered to another family from our waiting list. If this time limit causes you any difficulties or if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact our Admissions Office on 01223 454 762 or admissions@stephenperse.com. Please refer to the section below “Further Offer Information” for more details of the offer and how to confirm acceptance.
剑桥科珀斯时钟 (Cambridge Corpus Clock) 来了剑桥这么多年,第一次听说并去看了这个钟,有几次路过都没注意到。这个有名的钟是剑桥的地标建筑了。前几年好像坏了,去年被砸了。 先看视频,很有特色,很多游客围观。其中背景有一中国小姑娘对同伴说,你知道萝莉岛么?霍金也去了,不过他残疾怎么玩? 地址:国王学院(Kings Colleage)对面(58 Trumpington St Corpus Christi College, Cambridge CB2 1RH)。 边上有Eagle’s pub,发布DNA被发现的地方,里面有啤酒叫Eagle’s DNA。...

祝媳妇生日快乐, 女人的年龄就是个数字 前两周是媳妇的生日。她是双鱼座,我是天蝎座,据说这两个星座还挺配的。 祝媳妇生日快乐!她21岁时和我在一起,23到25岁便经历了怀孕、生子。如今十几年过去了,孩子也长大了,媳妇也开始工作了。我们彼此默契,日常围着孩子转,有时候一个眼神就能读懂对方的想法。 虽然女人的年龄只是个数字,但这几年为了操持家庭,明显能感觉到媳妇的颜值和身材不如从前,身体状况也大不如前,经常生病。 我提前订了一个蛋糕,虽然媳妇说不用,还特意去 Waitrose 买了一个小蛋糕,但我觉得生日怎么也得有点仪式感,所以还是提前两天订好了。媳妇收到蛋糕时还是有点小惊喜。 当天晚上,我们去剑桥市中心 Trinity 附近的一家西班牙餐厅 Mercado 吃饭(之后细说)。 我问媳妇想要什么生日礼物,她说自己刷卡买点护肤品就行,就是那个 La Mer 还是...
软件工程师面试: TCP/IP协议是什么? 最近,在面试第一轮抖音(字节跳动)的伦敦职位(Site Reliability Engineer),被问到了这个问题:TCP/IP协议是什么?这个是考基本功,是每个软件工程师都要会的。 TCP/IP(传输控制协议/互联网协议)是一组网络协议,管理数据如何通过互联网和其他网络传输。它是互联网的基本通信模型,由两个主要层组成: 互联网协议 (IP) IP 负责将数据包从源地址路由到目标地址。它工作在 OSI 模型的网络层。 IP 地址:互联网中的每个设备都被分配了一个唯一的 IP 地址,用于标识数据包的发送者和接收者。 数据包路由:IP...
