3 其实现在回想起来，不该舍不得那几万块。www.591taobaonet.com当时，应该多申请几所学校。即便不是小宋心怡和梦想的大学，也要申一下。不至于，最后两手空空，内心倍受打击，信心受挫。本来是找了留学机构帮忙申请的，后来我们又撤回了，担心花的钱太多。于是，小宋除了自学申请美本的各学科，还要自己撰写各类申请文书。每天都很忙碌。学校的课基本是三天两头不去上。这种状态，是从高一下学期开始持续到高三上学期，整两年的时间。学校的学习，小宋还要有所兼顾，当然成绩不如全力以赴的学生，况且这所重点高中都是精英学子。于是成绩排名，一度从高一上学期的前五十名，落后到一二百名。就是一二百名在这所学校，将来也是上985、211的学生。最后小宋的精力主要分配给了美本申请的学习，这期间完全在家自学托福考到107分。sat2是满分,sat1也将近5000分，不太理想，但也不差。这都是小宋在家自学的结果。在这期间，小宋的钢琴学习没有停止。还在继续跟秦川老师上课，一节课一千多块的那种。一个月去上一次，并不频繁。每天小宋的练琴也在努力保证时间。她在准备录好视频上传到yale的招生网站，作为才艺展示。还有，陪伴小宋的小鸡善善，作为活动类的补充，也写成了一篇英语小文。这是小宋的文笔，先来欣赏一下。

y pet hen

while other people walked their dogs, i walked y hen, with an one-ter-long dog-hittg stick holdg y hand yes, this was y pet, a hen although a city full of buildgs ade of steel and ncrete never was an appropriate pce to raise chickens, i still anad to overe the nveniences and potential danr while walkg y hen, i certaly was bold enough to warn the stray dogs, “ hey, i’ not at all afraid of you and neither is y hen”

however, the begng of the story was not positive once y hen was roag outside, and suddenly she cried out such a vigintcall that struck the ar of danr i checked out through the dow upstairs and next send i had y heart y outh: she had been trapped by several wild dogs,
