Qi Jichao showed a calmness beyond his years when he won the gold medal in the National Biology Olympiad for Middle School Students.
Qi Jichao
He said that he was very interested in the subject of biology. He had some understanding of the biology competition in the third year of junior high school, and began to systematically study and prepare for the biology competition in the first year of high school. "I studied more than a dozen college biology courses in two years. Although it basically took up all my spare time, I enjoyed the process." Qi Jichao said that in the process of preparing for the biology competition, he also met many like-minded friends. Encourage each other.
To participate in the National Middle School Biology Olympiad, you need to first participate in the National Middle School Biology League. Qi Jichao said frankly that this was his second time participating in the Biology League. Last year, due to too much pressure, he ranked 6th in the first year of high school and 80th in the province, and was not selected for the competition. But he was not discouraged, adjusted his mentality, and entered the battle easily the next year. This time he entered the National Middle School Biology Olympiad with a good result of fourth place in the province.
"The league and the Olympiad are separated by one month. During this month, I practiced experimental operations in the laboratory during the day and continued reading at night." Qi Jichao said that due to the limited time for experimental operations and practice, he once felt uncomfortable when participating in the Olympiad. No bottom. But he quickly adjusted his mentality and continued to complete the next exam. Achieving such results, he believes, is also due to his good attitude.
Qi Jichao also has his own method for studying biology. "The biological knowledge that needs to be learned to participate in the biology competition is relatively complex. You cannot just memorize it by rote. You must grasp the context to build a system, that is, build a 'tree', and then fill in the detailed knowledge points as branches. This is what belongs to My own 'thinking tree'," Qi Jichao said. Although
won the gold medal, Qi Jichao was not very satisfied with his results.He said, "Through this competition, I also saw my own gaps and shortcomings.

"Autonomous learning is very important." Yu Pengfei said that every student is unique, so in the teaching process, he will pay attention to using different teaching methods to help each student, and also help students better understand themselves and guide students to learn independently.
