中加学子多伦多大学夏校分享

福州中加学校10名学子参加2019年多伦多大学三周的大学预备课程完满收官。整个课程内容丰富，活动有趣，组织完善，学生们收获颇多。

During the past three weeks, 10 students have participated in the the summer school of University of Toronto ‘ Global Citizenship program for Pre-University’ , which has achieved great success . The program is rich in content and everything has been organized so well that students all get involved and motivated. They have learned more about our society and also learned how to think creatively.

每天六个小时英文课，让学生们的思想从对所探讨的问题充满困惑到有了自己深刻的理解。他们每天下课后，在自习室，小组合作，想方案，写文件，准备第二天向教授和同学们陈述各自小组的观点和方案，经常熬夜写到凌晨三四点。小组讨论，一起写方案，做演讲，穿正装参加圆桌会议，这些都让学生们对世界有了新的认知，如何才能成为一名更好的世界公民。

Six hours of English communication class and workshop everyday helps students to understand the world and our society more clearly. They spent hours and hours working together after class with their group members. They discussed serious topics of the society, wrote project together, did presentation together, and participated in Round Tables together.

这里的学习节奏与他们在国内的学习节奏完全不同，而这样的学习模式和节奏正是国外大学的学习模式和节奏。这样的锻炼对有志于出国留学的学生来说是非常重要的体验，让他们提前了解和感受到了真真切切的国外大学学习的节奏和模式，让他们对未来有了更充分的心理准备，也让他们明白了自己在接下来回到国内的学习需要如何培养和提高自己的能力，以适应将来在国外留学的日子。

This studying mode is new to them but they start to understand the study system of universities. It is very useful for them to experience the differences of foreign universities and help them get prepared for the future study.

每个孩子都对这次夏校发表了自己的感受：

Each has concluded their study in Toronto:

G11-AP陈同学说：

这次我和我的小伙伴们一起来到我向往已久的大学——多伦多大学。在参加夏校的这段时间里，我真切感受到这所世界一流的大学对学生严格要求和高期望。我真正融入进了多元文化的环境，和很多外国友人做朋友，并且学会了如何站在世界的角度看待问题。与此同时，我的英语也更进了一步。

G11-AP Rachel:

This time, my friends and I came to the university I have been longing for -- University of Toronto. In the summer program, I really feel that this excellent university has strict requirements and high expectations for students. In addition,I really integrated into the multicultural environment, made friends with many foreigners, and learned how to analyze problem from the global perspective and give feasible solutions.It' really a legendary experience.

G11-AP 张同学说：

这次参加夏校是一次很难忘的一段经历，认识了很多来自不同国家的同学，比如意大利，墨西哥，巴勒斯坦，印度，埃及，日本，韩国等其他国家的，我们在一起讨论了很多全球将来可能会面临的问题，就比如本次夏校的主题为住房安全。对于加拿大政府来说，住房问题是他们首先要解决的问题，在外出游玩的时候，我们经常会见到许多露宿街头的加拿大人，他们没有稳定的工作，稳定的住所，也没有稳定的经济来源，只能通过街头表演，擦车窗的方式来维持生计。在我看来，全球公民项目的主要目的正是拓宽视野，消除刻板印象和偏见，培养一个人的创造力，领导力和组织能力，拓宽思维为将来的大学生活做铺垫。我们一起经历了很多，一起熬夜写作业到凌晨三四点，从刚开始陌生，不敢讲话，到后面能够与大家打成一片，像老朋友一样，实属不易，这段经历是我们永远的记忆，永远不会忘却。

G11-AP Mike:

It was an unforgettable experience to attend the summer school. We met many students from different countries, such as Italy, Mexico, Palestine, India, Egypt, Japan, Korea and other countries. We discussed many problems that the world may face in the future, such as one of the theme of this summer school ‘ housing safety’. For the Canadian government, the housing problem is their first problem to solve. When we go out to play, we often see many Canadians living on the street. They have no stable jobs, stable housing, and stable financial resources. They can only be maintained livelihood by street performances and car windows cleaning. In my opinion, the main purpose of the Global Citizenship Program is to broaden our horizons, eliminate stereotypes and prejudices, cultivate one's creativity, leadership and organizational ability, and broaden one's thinking to pave the way for future college life. We have experienced a lot together, staying up late to do homework until 3 or 4 a.m., from strangers at the beginning, not daring to speak, to be able to integrate with them like old friends, which is not easy. This experience will be our eternal memory, which I will never forget.

G11-AP魏同学说：

这次夏校，我了解到了很多以前没有关注到的社会问题，比如，街上无家可归的人们的社会保障问题，住房安全问题等等，让我对社会，对自己都有了更深刻的认知。我们还去了很多美丽的地方，比如尼亚加拉瀑布，零距离与大瀑布接触，给我带来巨大的震撼。我的英语水平也提高了很多。在这短暂的三周时光里，我和同学们结下了深厚的友谊，我将会想念这里的人们和美景。

G11-AP Void:

During the summer school, I have learned a lot about social issues, like homelessness, housing insecurity. Also we took lots of adventures, we went to the Niagara waterfall, wonderland, where I got unforgettable memories. I also improve my English ability and get international concept.  I will miss the classmates and wonderful scenery here.

G11-AP叶同学说：

三周的时间很快就过去了，回想起第一周的担忧到现在的不舍，我收获了很多。轻松的课堂氛围让我慢慢的敢于和同学交流，提出自己的想法，我的沟通能力和英语水平有了很大的提高。很开心遇到了这么多友好的同学和老师，一直在鼓励我，帮助我进步。

G11-AP Connie:

During this summer program in University of Toronto, I had a blast and learned a lot.My social skill ,English level and international understanding has improved a lot, and I really enjoy the atmosphere in class and I also like all the activities after class. I‘m happy that I have met these kinds and thoughtful classmates who always encourage me to share my idea and help me to make progress.

G11-2 戴同学说：

这是我第一次在国外参加这种夏校课程，每天的日程都排的很满，很充实。一天有固定六个小时的课时，加上其他的安排，一天里几乎没有多少空余时间，经常熬夜赶作业。这次的项目让我确确实实的让我体会到了大学课业的繁重和自律的重要性。

G11-2Emily：

This is my first time to participate such a program in foreign country. Every day’s schedule had been fully occupied. There are six hours compulsory courses per day, plus other arrangements, we do not have enough free time to work on our homework so we often stay up late to work. This program makes me realize the importance to be self-discipline and the difficulties of studying in university.

G11-2王同学说：

这次的旅程我收获了很多，不仅学到了知识也交到了来自全世界各地的朋友。通过这次的学习旅程，我知道了其实世界上还是有很多人需要我们的帮助，需要来自全社会的帮助，比如那些无家可归人们，他们也是我们20天来的研究对象。希望以后还有机会参加这样的项目。

G11-2Mala:

I have gained a lot from this journey, not only learning knowledge but also making friends from all over the world. Through this trip, I know that there are still a lot of people in the world who need help from us and help from the whole society, such as those homeless people and they are the subjects of our research for these 20 days. I hope there will be a chance to participate in such a project again in the future.

G11-2李同学说：

这次夏校之旅令我印象深刻，刚到这里的第一天开始学习时感觉时间过的很慢但是到后来同学慢慢的互相熟悉到后来逐渐可以用英文上课英文沟通，时间一下过的飞快，一眨眼就到了最后一天。这次夏校让我初步感受到了以后国外的生活，从大家都不认识到后来成为很好的朋友其实可以很快，而且我明白了团队活动是提升大家熟悉度最好的方式，大家慢慢的融入到最后成为朋友，这真的是很开心是一段时间。

G11-2 Ben:

I was impressed by the trip of the summer school. I felt that the time was very slow when I first started studying here. But later, my classmates gradually became familiar with each other and I was able to communicate with them in English fluently soon. Time is flying. The program made me realize the importance of team work and I understand that team activities are the best way to improve your familiarity.

G11-1陈同学说：

这次在夏校，我感受到了来自各个国家好友的热情，与他们一起学习，一起玩耍，成为挚友。在课堂上，我们学习与了解了UDHR（也就是人权）方面的现状，让我对这个世界认知更深并且想成为一名优秀的全球公民，为这个美好的世界作出贡献。特别是通过这次夏校，更让我了解到学语言的重要性，同时我也了解了多伦多大学的申请要求，让我更有动力去努力奋斗。

G11-1Irena:

Through the summer program, I feel the enthusiasm of friends from different countries and make friends with them. In the classroom, we learned UDHR (human rights), which gives me a deeper understanding of the world and want to become an excellent global citizen, making effort to contribute to this beautiful world. In addition, summer school, I have realized the importance of English language learning and I also know the application requirement for the University of Toronto, which gives me more motivation and encourage me to study harder in the future.

G10-AP邱同学说：

这次经历带给我们的不仅仅是英语词汇量和口语能力的提升，更多的是教会了我们要用一颗包容的心去接纳不同的文化，并且用耐心去面对差异，提出自己的想法。

G10-AP Katrina：

This experience not only improved our English vocabulary and oral English ability, but also taught us to accept different cultures with an inclusive thinking, face differences with patience and put forward my own ideas bravely.

G10-1林同学说：

在多伦多大学的这三周里，我们学到了很多，了解了大学学习的模式和体系。上课时大家的辩论很激烈，课后完成任务和作业的态度也很认真，同时也交到了很多外国的朋友，大家其乐融融的度过的这三周，让我难以忘怀。

G10-1 Jason:

During the three weeks at the University of Toronto, we have learned a lot and understood the mode and system of university study in Canada. The debate in class was very fierce, and the attitude of finishing the task and homework after class was also very serious. At the same time, I also made a lot of foreign friends. we have such a great time here and I will not forget my friends here.

10位学生都圆满完成课程学习，获得了多伦多大学课程证书。

All the students have all completed the course successfully and have received the certificate of University of Toronto.

紧张而充实的课堂学习之类，学生们还参观和体验了很多加拿大的人文与地理文化，比如现场观看多伦多蓝鸟队棒球比赛，参加麦克马斯特大学的高空绳索项目，参加室内攀岩活动， 游玩加拿大奇幻乐园， 体验邮轮之夜，参观乡村农舍感受加拿大的乡间生活等等。

University of Toronto also organized many activities after class for students to experience the culture of Canada, such as watching Blue Jays baseball game, trying Altitude High Ropes course and rocking climbing, visiting the Canada’s Wonderland, having party in the boat cruise, and experiencing the life in Blackcreek pioneer village.
