I have been abroad for several days. It can be very awful for a Chinese to have never seen any Chinese domestic news for a long time whatever News Feeds or Xinwen Lianbo from CCTV or China Central Television.
Some Chinese people do not know how it can be if you are abroad without state TV, but just keep speaking ill of the state TV. In fact, the China in western media is not your China. That's no strange that some western people do not know residents in Taiwan and Mainland China share the common language and habits.
In this week's class, I learnt the difference between the two kinds of quote symbols, and some new words. Europeans always know a large number of languages such as English, Spanish, French, and Deutsche, which is absolutely amazing to me, who can only speak Chinese and English. The Swisses in our class can speak English, German, Swizz German, and French. They have different foreign languages in their primary schools and high schools.
Last Friday, I attended a graduation ceremony for some students. It was very cool for schools to make a public graduation ceremony. I hope that one day our school's graduation ceremony will be open for everyone.
Our old class was cancelled, due to some students' graduation or normally courses-change according to their programs. Our last 4 students were added into an intermediate level class temporarily, which was at lower level than we should be in. This morning, there were about 16 new students waiting in the garden for new students test, which took the whole day because of the big number of students.
Our teacher today, Andrew, was an old gentle British. He shared a lot of vivid experiences to us. He was very easygoing.
I am looking forward to tomorrow's course in our level.
During last week, I have finished the designs of surveys of our Society Research and Major Research. I have also finished the Monkey Sync.
我在国外已经好几天了。对于一个中国人来说,长时间接触不到国内新闻(不论是央视的新闻联播)都是一件很令人感到煎熬的事情。
一些中国人不知道在国外没有国家电视台会怎么样,只是继续着盲目的批评国家台。事实上,西方媒体中的中国不是你的中国,这也就不奇怪为什么一些西方人不知道台湾居民和大陆居民有共同的语言和习惯。
在这个星期的课里,我学习了两种不同的引号之间的差异,和一些新单词。欧洲人总是会很多门语言,例如:英语、西班牙语、法语、德语,这对于我这个只会英语、汉语的人来说绝对是一件令人惊奇的事情。我们班里的瑞士同学会说英语、德语、瑞士德语。他们在小学、中学学不同的外语。
上个周五,我参加了一些同学的毕业典礼。搞公开的毕业典礼是一个好主意,真希望有朝一日我们学校的毕业典礼也能对公众开放。
我们旧的班因为一些人的毕业和常规转班而被取消,我们剩下的四个学生被临时加到了一个中级班,这个班的级别比我们应该在的班级别要略低。这个早上,花园里有大概16个人在等着新生分级测试,这个测试因为学生众多而花了整整一天。
我们今天的老师安卓是一个年长的英国绅士,他跟我们分享了很多有趣的经历,他非常平易近人。
我很期待明天我们级别的课程。
在这个星期,我完成了人文社会实践和Major Research的问卷制作工作,还完成了猴哥的同步系统。
