【大美六外@研学课程】中美研学日志Day1：与美国同学面对面，我很激动

2018/7/17

2018年7月15日，一个普通的夏日，艳阳高照，气温很高。然而，对于我们来说，这却是一个不平凡的日子，因为从今晚开始，我们就将与来自美国旧金山、奥兰多、迈哈密等地的美国初中学生一起学习、一起游戏、一起食宿，而且全程用英语交流，想想就激动……

On July 15, 2018, an ordinary summer day, the sun was shining and the weather was extremely hot. However, it was a remarkable day for us, because we would learn and play with some students from San Francisco, Orlando, Miami and other places tonight, and fully communicate in English,I couldn’t help feeling exciting.

7月16日，温馨而美丽的早晨，老师的一声“起床了”打破了周围的宁静，睁开双眼，与美国小伙伴相互问候一声 “Good morning”，美好的一天开始了。

On the warm and beautiful morning of July 16, the teacher broke the silence by saying "get up". I opened my eyes and said "Good morning" to my American friends.

“Good morning everyone .”帅气的美国老师开始了他上午的课程，在上课之前，老师让我们男女分成两大组，组内成员相互自我介绍，并用英文写下自己的介绍内容。在交流的过程中，我们发现美国的孩子对中文也非常感兴趣，于是我们相互学习，非常开心。随后，老师给我们带来了一节机器人课堂，他先让我们下载了口袋机器脑软件，然后教我们如何用设置软件来控制机器人的行走。不一会，我们学会了。看，机器人沿着我画的路线乖乖地前行，真神奇！

"Good morning everyone." the handsome American teacher started his morning class, and before the class, the teacher divided us into boy’s group and girl’s group, and let us introduce ourselves to each other, and wrote our own introduction in English. During the exchange, we discovered that American children are very interested in Chinese, so we learned from each other very much. Then, the teacher gave us the class of robot, he asked us to download the pocket machine software, then taught us how to use set the software to control the robot to walk. Soon, we've learned. “Look, the robot is walking along the path I've drawn. It's amazing!” I said.

下午的时光，在老师的带领下，我们来到了六安昭庆寺，该寺始建于唐朝贞观年间，系太宗皇帝亲诏敕建的我国四大昭庆古寺之一，亦是其中仅存的皇家寺庙。1956年被定为“安徽省第一批重点文物古迹保护单位”，1984年被定为“全省重点寺庙”。在昭庆寺，寺庙僧人对我们很热情，向我们详细介绍了昭庆寺的历史典故，让我们深刻感受到了中国佛教文化的博大精深。美国的老师、同学们对中国的佛教也非常感兴趣，在倾听的过程中，不停地赞叹，不停地拍照！

In the afternoon, under the leadership of the teacher, we arrived at the Luan Zhaoqing Temple, which was built in the Tang dynasty, one of the four great temples of the imperial temple, which was built by emperor Taizong of Tang, and the only remaining royal temple. In 1956, it was classified as "the first important unit of protection for cultural relics of Anhui province", designated as "The key temple of the province" in 1984. In zhaoqing temple, the monks were very enthusiastic about us, and they introduced us the historical stories of Zhaoqing temple in detail, which made us deeply feel the profound Chinese Buddhism culture. American teachers and students were also very interested in Chinese Buddhism. In the process of listening, they kept admiring and taking pictures.

与美国的同学相处了一天，感觉他们很好相处，非常友善，我们在一起进行一些简单的交流，基本上没有太多语言障碍，这也打消了我之前的担忧。我发现：虽然我们的语言不同，但我们天真纯洁的心灵是相同的！

I spent a day with America's classmates, and it seemed like they are very nice and friendly, and we had some simple conversations together, and there's not too much language barrier, which has put away my previous concerns. I have found that while our language is different, our innocent minds are the same!
