Elva Wang, 9th grader：

This trip is the second time that I’ve gotten in touch with the students in Dublin School. Last time we went to ChangBai Mountain and watched the skiing competition. Their persistence really amazed me. Once they find their dream or interests, like skiing, they spend all their enthusiasm in it and never give up. Maybe that’s the difference between us and them.

一起上課：感受討論式教學模式 

Fortunately, this time we went to their school and spent a whole day with the students, one-on-one, shadowing their schedule. Studying with them and experiencing their life. That amazed me again, because their lifestyle is really different from ours.

課堂好似專題研討會, 學生與老師,學生與學生互動

Firstly, their classes are diverse. They can choose whatever they except for the classes they must take. They can use their cellphones during class, but nobody used them to entertain themselves. They know what that are supposed to do. They have enough time to play, and don’t just lie on the bed and watch “DouYin”. They do sports, join theme parties, or do research. That’s their meaning in life.Secondly, it’s very open in their school. This is very different from the public school in Beijing. They can practice in real life. They can also choose their major. If you are a sports person, they you can spend ore time doing sports.

The school supports and agrees with that. The school also provides, facilities, equipment and chances to help achieve your goal.Last the food in Dublin is pretty good. It’s pretty healthy and delicious. The environment is also beautiful, with plenty of plants and lovely animals. It’s a good place to rest after study. Additionally, their library is amazing. It is broken into two parts, a group study area and a place where you can study alone.

美麗的校園環(huán)境

這次交流是我第二次和都柏林學校的學生接觸。上次的接觸是在中國長白山觀看滑雪比賽。他們對體育的堅持讓我印象深刻。一旦他們找到了自己的夢想和興趣，比如滑雪，他們就會充滿熱情，永不言棄�？赡苓@就是我們和他們之間的差距。

先進的機器人實驗室

幸運的是，來都柏林學校進行了一天的交流, 我們一對一地跟隨他們的學生，完成一天的學習生活。讓我覺得有趣的是，他們的生活方式和我們很不一樣。

校園內(nèi)的天文館

首先，他們的課很多樣化，有很多選修課。他們可以在課上使用手機，但是沒有學生玩兒手機。他們自覺性很高，即使在課余時間，也不會浪費時間看“抖音”。他們做很多運動，參加有主題的活動和做研究工作，這對他們是更具有意義的。

第二，他們的學校抱有很開放的態(tài)度，這點和中國學校很不同。他們學的東西比較實用，而且也可以選課。如果你很喜歡運動，那么你可以花更多時間在體育上。學校支持和鼓勵學生這樣做。學校也會盡力提供設施、器材和各種機會幫助實現(xiàn)學生的目標。

合二為一的化學教室/化學實驗室

最后，都柏林學校的伙食也很不錯 ：既健康又好吃。學校環(huán)境優(yōu)美，有很多植物和可愛的小動物。學習之余也可以放松。另外，他們的圖書館也非常棒，提供了小組學習和單獨學習兩塊區(qū)域。

上午結(jié)束后，都柏林高中校長Brad Bates和學生們交流上午的體驗

跟Elva同學具有相同體驗的同學還有很多，通過一對一的深入交流和實際體驗，學生們真正體驗到了美國寄宿學校的生活和課堂，同時還交到了新的朋友，是學生們打開國際視野的絕佳機會。
