As it was a precious chance to experience the high school life in Scotland, especially in such a famous school where Tony Blair once studied in, everyone extremely cherished the opportunity.
On the arrival of Edinburgh Airport, we first experienced the heavy wind and began to imagine how many difficulties caused by the changeable weather we would meet during the trip. After a taxi drive, we reached our destination—Fettes College with excitement.
I met my pretty partner Finn and had a free talk with her in the Dalmeny House. Then she showed around the dormitory, afterwards, I made a comparison between the British dormitory and the Chinese one. In China , it is impossible for students to watch television or surf the Internet while nearly every student uses their own computers to search some information or print the homework. It provides the students with WIFI for free, they just need to type in their username and passwords and then the social chatting adds can be used freely. In Dalmeny House, every student seems so sporty that they play table tennis and hockey in the meeting hall. They get up at 6.45am and sleep at 10.00pm. Each student has their idols and the walls are all decorated with their idols. It is enjoyable to listen to some pop music sung by some of their idols like One Direction as well when I get up in the morning.
On the 5th day, it was my honor to attend the school show --Jesus Christ Superstar, which was the first time for me to watch the fantastic show shown by school students in church. The show mainly told a story about the passion of the Christ. My best friend Tiffany took part in 3 chapters of dancing. She had practiced dancing until 10pm every night for several days before the show began. As a result, the show was a big success and everyone sitting there feel interested, fascinated and intoxicated in it. The singer’s voice sounded so sweet that can be compared to the sounds of nature. One month passed, I still treasured it as the most memorable experience I underwent in Edinburgh.
During the academic exchange, it was exactly rare to take lessons in Fettes College. After the daily rogation in the school chapel, I took the biology lesson with my partner Finn. As I didn’t do well in learning biology knowledge, it was quite difficult for me to understand the teacher’s words. Because of a large number of the proper noun such as ‘deoxyribonucleic acid’ and ‘carboxyl group’, I finished the lesson toughly with the help of my partner. After three lessons -- Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics, I realized that the British government pays much attention to senior high school students’ science education ,brain development and manipulative ability while in China, the Chinese government foster students’ ability of learning specialty knowledge much more than cultivating moral character and accumulating humanistic thoughts constantly. In my opinion, that is the reason why so many foreign scientists won the Nobel Prize but no scientists with Chinese nationality has achieved it since 1901. It reflects the issue existed in Chinese education and needs paying more attention seriously.
After 10-day-exchange, I experienced several differences between China and Scotland and with no doubt , the visit will be the permanent collections of my whole life. |
