如果说中美教育之间最大的不同之一，那就是学校对体育和艺术的重视。

　　The biggest differences between Chinese and American education is the importancethat schools attach to sports and art.

　　美式教育看重体育，所以在美高学校中，体育生往往比学霸更出风头。质疑者认为，这是美国学校中的反智主义倾向，但实际上如果你足够了解他们重视体育特长培养的原因，会觉得也许并不能这样简单地、非此即彼地理解。

　　American education attaches great importance to sports, so in American colleges anduniversities, students who are good at sports tend to stand out from the groups. Questioners argue that this is an anti-intellectualism tendency in American schools, but in fact, if you know enough about the reasons why they attach importance to the cultivation of sports expertise, you will feel that it may not be so simple.

　　美国的大学不仅仅看重学生的文化学习成绩，更看重学生全面发展的素质。西方的教育不提倡过分文雅与应试，更不认为喜欢运动就是差生、野蛮和浪费时间。

　　American universities not only value students' cultural achievement, but also their all-round development. Western education does not advocate excessive elegance and exam-taking, nor does it think that liking sports means poor students,barbarism and waste of time.

　　美国家长大多认为，体育活动实际上锻炼的是孩子的人格和品质，以及在团队活动中的合作能力、领导能力，同时也通过体育活动为孩子创造吃苦和领会失败的机会。

　　Most American parents believe that physical activities actually exercise their children's personality and quality, as well as their ability to cooperate and lead in team activities. At the same time, they also create opportunities for their children to suffer hardships and experience failure through physical activities.

　　这也是为什么美国孩子大多会选择团队体育项目练习，而不是个人运动。

　　That's why most American children prefer team sports to individual sports.

　　毕业于耶鲁大学的上海美高董事长方正先生也曾说过：我到耶鲁去念书的时候，为什么我比别人适应得好?我觉得音乐和运动的专长成为了我最好的一个沟通工具，这两样是没有国界，没有文化隔阂的。让我在一个完全陌生的环境里很容易交到朋友。

　　Mr.Fang, president of Living Word Shanghai, who graduated from Yale University, once said, When I went to Yale to study, why did I adapt better than others? I think the expertise in music and sports has become one of my best communication tools.There are no borders and no cultural barriers between them. It's easy for me to make friends in a completely unfamiliar environment.

　　皇马为什么选择上海美高

　　上海美高学校遵循中美结合的教育体制，旨在帮助学生情商、智商、能力和技能的全面发展，将学生培养成为未来全球各行各业具有国际观的领军人物。学校希望通过丰富多样的人文教育、社团活动和社会实践，塑造全方面发展的世界人才!而作为西班牙皇家马德里在亚洲的唯一合作方，美高学校至今已经是第五年主办皇马青少年足球训练营了!

　　LWS aims to help students develop their EQ, IQ, abilities and skills in anall-round way, and to train them to become leaders in the future. As the only partner of Real Madrid in Asia, Living Word Shanghai has hosted Real Madrid Youth Football Training Camp for the fifth year.

　　皇马成熟的管理运作模式，在国际足坛与全球商业界都有着声名显赫的地位及经久不衰的品牌影响力，因此西班牙皇家马德里足球基金会在挑选合作伙伴时非常谨慎。经过长期综合的评价与考察，在中国的教育界选择了与他们有着同样理念，也同样有影响力的上海美高双语学校作为官方合作伙伴。

　　The Real Madrid Football Foundation in Spain is very cautious in choosing partners because of its mature management and operation mode, its prestigious positionin international football and global business circles, and its enduring brand influence. After long-term comprehensive evaluation and investigation, the Chinese educational circles have chosen LWS Bilingual School as their official partner with the same idea and influence.

　　学校主张通过足球活动更好地展现自己与更多人交友、健身和全面发展，并在日常课程中将其作为重要的课程之一。方正先生还表示在我校，足球方面有才华的学生将会对今后的大学申请有很大的帮助。学校大学申请老师也非常看重学生其他的专长如体育方面的才华，更愿意根据他们的体育特长帮助他们申请到心仪的美国及世界名校。

　　The school advocates that it should better show its friendship, fitness and overall development with more people through football activities, and take it as one of the important courses in the daily curriculum. Mr. Fang also said that in our school, talented studentsin football will be of great help to future university applications. Teachers also attach great importance to students' other specialties, such as sports talents, and are more willing to help them apply to their favorite American andother famous schools around the world according to their sports specialties.

　　我们将给孩子带来什么

　　皇马(中国)青少年足球夏令营

　　皇马优良足球礼仪、全程英语教学配翻译、皇马授权专业青少年足球培训、皇马委派专业教练并提供教案、世界足球巨星亲临现场指导、科学的营养膳食和丰富活动、封闭式贵族学校教学基地、有皇马结业证和原版皇马俱乐部球衣、更有机会赴西班牙马德里交流

　　皇马足球夏令营2014年起，开始在上海美高学校举行。2015年在上海、成都和北京三地举行。2016年、2017年和2018年还多次邀请到皇马顶级球星古蒂和莫伦特斯进行夏令营开球仪式以及现场指导。在前五年的基础上，相信2019年的活动将更为丰富多彩。

　　Real Madrid Football Summer Camp has been held in LWS since 2014. It was held in Shanghai, Chengdu and Beijing in 2015. In 2016, 2017 and 2018, Real Madrid'stop stars Guti and Morientes were invited to kick-off ceremonies and on-site guidance. On the basis of the previous five years, I believe that the activities in 2019 will be more colorful.

　　古蒂曾在三地开球仪式上曾表示：许多国际大牌球星和教练加盟中超足球联赛，对联赛实力的提升自然有着好处，但对本土年轻人的培养才是最重要的。因此皇马这次把青训模式搬到中国，也是为了让更多的中国孩子爱上足球，并体验到皇马的模式。随着我国足球的外部环境在不断得到改善，也有更多球星、热心企业与足球专业人士投入到校园足球中来。

　　Guti once said at the three-way kick-offceremony that: many international stars and coaches joining the Chinese Super League will naturally benefit the league's strength, but the training of localyoung people is the most important. So this time Real Madrid moved the youth training model to China in order to let more Chinese children fall in love with football and experience the model of Real Madrid. With the continuous improvement of the external environment of football in China, more and more football stars, enthusiastic enterprises and football professionals have invested in football.

　　改变旧观念，美高促成长

　　现在家长担心孩子无法完成学业，认为连基本的学习都无法完成怎么可以去踢球!也有不少家长担心孩子受伤或变得野蛮而不让学生参与到足球运动中来。因此在更多的时间中孩子们往往在应试教育中挣扎，得不到全面的提升与发展。

　　Now parents worry that their children can't finish their studies. They think that they can't even finish their basic studies. How can they play football? There are also many parents who fear that their children will be injured or becomes avage and do not allow their students to participate in football. Therefore, children often struggle in exam-oriented education, and cannot get comprehensive promotion and development.

　　只有让孩子们在自己喜欢做某件事情的情况下，他们的潜力与才干才能够被酣畅淋漓地发挥出来。美高(中国)青少年足球夏令营为了要给同学们提供一个好的快乐足球环境，通过聘请球星，宣传快乐足球理念激发更多家长消除不必要的担忧，让更多有志于体验快乐足球的孩子积极参与到足球运动中来。

　　Only when children are allowed to do something they like, their potentials andabilities can be fully exploited. LWS Youth Football Summer Camp provides students with a good happy football environment, by employing stars, promoting the concept of happy football to stimulate more parents to eliminate unnecessary worries, so that more children interested in experiencing happy football actively and participate in playing football.

　　对孩子来说球星与外籍足球教师在一起，暂时离开父母的唠叨，是全新的环境，他们能够在全新快乐的环境中有一个新的开始。通过不断地接触先进足球技术、动作、尽情地在球场上表达自我，使自己更加快乐地展现自我;通过技战术的传接配合培养团队合作精神，结交新的朋友;在新的住宿环境学会独立自理。

　　Itis a new environment for children that they can stay with soccer stars and foreign soccer teachers and leave their parents' nagging temporarily. They canhave a new start in a new and happy environment. Through constant contact with advanced football technology, action, to express themselves heartily on the court, so that they can more happily show themselves; through the transfer of skills and tactics to cultivate teamwork spirit, make new friends; in the new accommodation environment, learn to take care of themselves independently.

　　外籍教练独特授课方式，开放、活泼，鼓励启发、寓教于乐，帮助学员爱上学习英语，轻松打下良好的兴趣基础。突破中国学校式的单一课堂与教材，我们将英语教学搬到操场、体育馆、图书馆或是食堂。学员不再只是机械式的学习，英语也不再只是通过反复的背诵记忆。奔跑run, 传球pass，射门shot等单词平时不一定立刻就能学会，然而在夏令营的足球英语环境中这些可爱的词汇将随着深刻的训练场景以有趣生动地方式记被记住。因此以快乐足球为基础的足球夏令营将带动孩子在学习方面的全面发展。

　　Foreign coaches have a unique way of teaching. They are open and lively. They encourage enlightenment and enjoy teaching. They help students love learning English andlay a good foundation of interest easily. Breaking through the single classroom and textbooks of Chinese school style, we move English teaching to playgrounds,gymnasiums, libraries or canteens. Students are no longer just learning mechanically,and English is no longer just memorized through repeated recitations. Running,passing, shooting shots and other words are not always learnt immediately, but these lovely words will be remembered in interesting and vivid ways with deep training scenes in the football English environment of summer camp. Therefore,football summer camp based on Happy football will promote children's all-round development in learning.

　　所以希望社会各界在改变观念的同时，也希望更多家长与孩子参与到美高的足球夏令营活动中来。

　　So we hope hope that more parents and children to participate in the beautiful football summer camp activities.

　　上海美高通过皇马足球夏令营培养孩子好的习惯，享受足球、享受学习是孩子今后人生成功的基础。让2019年美高皇马夏令营成为您孩子成功的转折点吧!!!
