在这特别的2020年，面对挑战，似乎已成了常态。挑战的另一面是机遇，不断锤炼自我，努力前进，越过关卡，成为比从前更强大的自己——近日，福州西湖国际学校的学生就越过了小小的一关。FLIS学子在今年澳大利亚数学思维挑战（也称澳大利亚数学竞赛/AMC）中发挥出色，斩获不少奖项，证明了自己！
Year 2020 is a tough year for the entire world. Luckily, our students have connected together, accepted the challenges, and enhanced our academic ability. In this year’s Australian Mathematics Competition, we have demonstrated good performance and proved ourselves.
每年FLIS都会带领大家参加一些国际性赛事，丰富学子参赛经验，提高大家对IB精神和学科的理解，以便在面对日后更多挑战时能够更加从容自若，发挥出自己的最佳水平。
Every semester, FLIS will introduce a number of interesting and beneficial international academic competitions to enrich the students' experience in international competitions, deepen their understanding of IB spirit and subjects, and cultivate their confidence and courage.
澳大利亚数学思维挑战是全球历史悠久的金牌校际数学思维挑战，由国际权威学术机构澳大利亚数学联合会 (AMT) 举办。AMT由澳大利亚著名数学家 Peter O’Halloran 发起创办，是国际权威的学术机构之一，旨在丰富各个阶段学生的数学教育内容，提供更前沿的数学思想、理论动态和教育资源。四十三年来共有来自32个国家的1500万学生参与该活动，新颖的题型和多语言试题让全球数学爱好者们得以在数学领域深刻切磋，共同学习，并深刻认识到数学在生活中的重要性。
The Australian Mathematics Competition is a mathematics competition run by the Australian Maths Trust for students from year 3 up to year 12 in Australia, and their equivalent grades in other countries. Over the past 43 years, more than 15 million students from 32 countries have participated in the program, and the innovative format and multilingual questions have allowed mathematics enthusiasts around the world to interact, learn together, and gain a deep appreciation for the importance of mathematics in their lives.
本次我校中学部共有30名学生获奖，其中二等奖2名，分别为Jason Weng同学与Joshua Chen同学；三等奖10名，分别为Dolfin Wu, Harveych Zhang, Jenny Weng, Andy Zhang, Gary Lei, Jimmie Huang, John Chen, Ryan Ding, Tony Woo以及Tim Chen同学，另有小学部的Danny Ye, Olivia Xu与Abby Xie同学斩获三等奖。
This time, there are 30 students in the secondary school who have won the prize, among which 2 won the Distiction. They are Jason Weng, Joshua Chen. The third prize winners are Dolfin Wu, Harveych Zhang, Jenny Weng, Andy Zhang, Gary Lei, Jimmie Huang, John Chen, Ryan Ding, Tony Woo, Tim Chen. Other Primary students(Danny Ye, Olivia Xu, and Abby Xie) also won the third prize.
学术竞赛是检验学生日常学习成果的好机会，我们鼓励学生积极参与，挑战自我，在竞赛中发现自己的不足，发挥自己的优势，取长补短不断进取，提高自己的学术竞技能力。恭喜本次获奖的所有学子！
The academic competition provide us an opportunity to challenge ourselves and make continuous progress. We hope the FLIS students can make more progress in the future. Congratulations to you all!
