让孩子亲身走进
世界名校的课堂

We start our study life in University of Essex today. I was aroused by the morning sunlight. I thought it was definitely a good day while I opened the window and breathed the fresh air in the campus.

The first lesson was taught by a gentleman who looks like Ben Affleck a little bit. The core of that lesson was about law and court. He first helped us go over some vocabulary of court like "defense", "prosecution" and "jury". Then, the most interesting and also highlighted thing of this lesson started: we need to moot court. Our group needed to prosecute the woman who killed a man. After a heated discussion, we came up with lots of point to prove that the woman was guilty.

The second lesson was about finding ourselves personality through several simple questions. I still remembered the results: I was a planner, an introvert, a person who use more facts than ideas. We found everyone was different and got to know each other better. I fortunately found myself blended in the class. What's more, I felt more confident and less nervous when talking to others.

The third and forth lessons came, the teacher was Stephen who is strict but also full of teaching experience. He has a lot of teaching skills so he always got us to do mountainous activities for practicing better. His lessons was the most efficient I have ever met.

After class, I had my dinner and chatted with my new friends on social media. It's a day full of knowledge and also laughter from friends. I'm looking forward to the next lesson.

出发前我其实没太多复杂的情绪，有的只是害怕。怕英语说不出口，怕离开家不习惯，怕寄宿家庭不好相处，也怕自己什么都做不好。那几天心里乱糟糟的，一边期待一边紧张，直到坐上飞机，才真正意识到，我要一个人去面对一段全新的生活。

刚到澳洲时，我就被眼前优美的画卷给震撼了。蔚蓝色的天空，清新的空气，在飞机上就已经和我打成一片的同学们。

在进行完分班考试后，我被分入了level 4，加入了这个温暖的大家庭。澳洲的课堂和国内差别很大。国内课堂更注重纪律和笔记，而这里更自由，老师鼓励我们表达、讨论、提问，不会强迫我们死记硬背。刚开始我不太敢说话，怕说错，后来在同学和老师的带动下，也慢慢敢开口、敢参与，学习变得轻松了很多。

在澳洲，我的英语突飞猛进。从曾经在国内的哑巴英语，蜕变到现在，遇到路人都敢主动与他搭讪，主动问路。在课上我也学到了许多有意思的英语单词，认识了来自世界各地的外国学生，与他们在一起共同进步。

这段经历也让我对以后的英语学习有了更明确的目标。我已经决定要在今年暑假去英国考FCE，为了这个目标，我要持续奋进。

时间真的太快了，快到我还没好好记住这里的一切，就要说再见。我多想把这里的蓝天、海风、朋友、温暖都带走，可我不行。我只能永远将它珍藏于心，成为我的精神食粮。
