G10 Selina: I am very grateful to my teachers and classmates for their appreciation of my article. The book I chose this time, Call Me By Your Name, tells the story of two young people fascinated with each other, hesitant, testing, gradually, the emotion in the flow. The encounter lasted only six weeks, but it left a lifelong mark on the protagonist. Because in that sweltering midsummer, they found something they could never find again... I liked the story of the book so much that I chose to write it. This award is not only an affirmation of my past efforts, but also a driving force for me to continue moving forward in the future. I will take this award as an opportunity to work harder to improve my writing ability. This award also made me more understand that a good composition requires a deep literary foundation, keen observation and a wealth of reading, but more importantly, a heart that loves life and pays attention to details. Only with enthusiasm for life, can you write touching words.

非常感谢老师和同学对我写的文章的欣赏。这次我选择的书Call Me By Your Name讲述了两个青年彼此着迷、犹疑、试探，渐渐地，情感在流动中进发。这场邂逅仅仅为时六周，却给主人公留下了一生的印记。因为他们在那个闷热的仲夏，发现了此生再也无法找寻到的东西…… 我很喜欢这本书的故事，所以我选择了写它。这次获奖，既是对我过去努力的肯定，也是我未来继续前行的动力。我会以这次获奖为契机，更加努力地提升自己的写作能力。这次获奖也让我更加明白了，好的作文需要有深厚的文学功底、敏锐的观察力和丰富的阅读量，但更重要的是要有一颗热爱生活、关注细节的心。只有对生活充满热情，才能写出打动人心的文字。     

G9 Lenny: I'm very happy to participate in this Pound and Pen writing activity. The book I chose is "The ghost who pinched me", because I have read this book more than once, so I know this book very well. There have been difficulties in the process of writing, but it has also exercised my writing and thinking skills. 

非常开心可以参加这个庞德笔耕写作活动，我选的书是“The ghost who pinched me”，因为这本书我已经不止读过一次了，所以对这本书很了解了。写作的过程中也有过困难的地方，但是也很好的锻炼了我的写作和思考能力。

G8 Sophia: Pen and ponder was a great experience. Already an avid reader this program helped me to review and reflect in a more focused way on what I have read. If it wasn't for pen and ponder I would never have considered the stories that I read so thoroughly. I feel that the exercise assisted me in improving my vocabulary and helped me to be more expressive and thoughtful when reflecting on a the story. The pen and ponder program also allowed me to practice my writing skills. In conclusion, the program is a worth while exercise that provides students with an opportunity to be reflective and to hone their reading and writing skills.
