OELP reflections


Day 1
We woke up early in the morning to go to hefei. We took the bullet train at 9.04 am from shanghai and reached hefei at around 12.26pm. It was a long and tiring journey. We went to eat luch after we reach. The lunch was not nice. After that we headed to 三河古镇。 it is a nice place with a lot of Chinese cultural and history. We went to different places to learn about people like 孙立人. It was a tiring journey as it was hot and there were a lot of flies.


Day 2
Today we went to the hefei 45 middle school. The school has a lot of people in the school, one class has at least 50 people, but their classroom is smaller then ours. Their toilet has no doors and it was very smelly. My buddy is very friendly to me . The class is very noisy during their 10 min break. They have system very different from us. 
5 things I like about RV
-Toilet
-Noise level
-Spacious classroom
-Lesser homework 
-End school early 

Day 3
 We went to the museum today. It was amazing to see all the things there. We learned more about anhui history. After that we went to the cutural park. We saw chicken fight , dog and horse racing. The animals were abused badly. Next we went to the circus, there were animal inside like the tigers and lions that are abused. Being hit by the iron bar once they do something wrong. 


Day 4
We went to huangshan today it was the most exciting part of the trip. We took the cable car up the mountain and climbed. We are not allow to take our luggage up so we brought small bag. The scenery was very beautiful there.

Day 5
We woke up at 4 to see the sunrise on huangshan. We saw monkeys there also. After lunch we stayed there for a while and we headed down the mountain. We went to yixian to learn about the cutural. We went to xidi and hongcun . The old buildings there look almost all the same , but was build by different families.

Day 6 

We went to tunxi today and visted Shexian , huishang big house and tangyue. It is almost the same as yesterday. After we were at the hotel we listen to a talk about Chinese culture. It was very boring.


Day 7
It was the last day in anhui. We went to tunxi old street to shop in the morning. After that we headed to hangzhou to visit the xihu. After that we took a 7h ride to shanghai airport. The trip was fun and enjoyable. We also learned a lot of things from it.

OELP reflections

       我们2E 展开了到安徽的学习之旅,在这个学习之旅让我获益不浅。我感到很兴奋也很开心因为我可以来到安徽,也与班上的其他同学创造很多美好的回忆。我学到了很多安徽的文化,如:建筑,饮食等等。刚开始我不习惯安徽的菜肴,但是日子久了,我也开始喜欢安徽的菜了!
       我们也和合肥45中的学生交流,更深入地了解他们的学习方式。 一个班上又差不多58-62个学生。他们的桌子和椅子都比我们用的还小,班也不是很大。但是我们学校一个班差不多有33-34个学生,桌子和椅子也比他们的大。
      我觉得合肥45中的学生都十分勤劳,也很用功读书。虽然老师会给他们很多功课,但是他们都没有埋怨。他们每天都会很晚才睡觉,因为他们都在复习作业,做作业。我觉得这种精神是值得我们学习的,就算我们有多少功课,我们也尽量不要埋怨老师,而是尽快把功课做好。而且,当老师问问题时,班上的同学都会积极地回答。这种积极的精神也值得我们学习。当老师问问题时,我们应该要积极地回答。这种行为也是对老师的一种尊敬。我也发现了合肥45中的学生上课时没有开所有的风扇。当我问我的伙伴时,我才明白他们这么做是为了要帮学校省电!我觉得他们很伟大,因为他们竟然选择不要开风扇为自己的学校省电。
     在这个学习之旅,我真正明白“世上无难事只怕有心人”的道理。当我在爬黄山时,我很多时候都想放弃,因为我觉得太辛苦了。但是,因为有了老师和同学的鼓励以及支持,我坚持下去,再辛苦也一定要继续爬黄山。我为自己感到骄傲,因为当我遇到挫折我也没有轻易放弃。
     还有,我一直问自己这个问题,为什么中国人似乎不注重自己国家的卫生呢?例如有些中国的厕所很肮脏,但是很多当地人并不把这件事放在眼里。难道这是因为他们习惯了吗?我非常好奇这一点因为我绝对不要新加坡的厕所肮脏。
    总的来说,在这次的学习之旅,我的收获很大。我学习了很多也与班上的同学、老师创造深刻的回忆。我更了解我的老师,也学会独立,怎么自己照顾自己。中国的确与新加坡不同,我也感谢学校给我们这个机会到安徽学习。安徽的确是个漂亮的地方,我会想念安徽的,也会想念2E 共同的回忆。
