英国的假期活动经历分享

从参加布朗夏校和哈佛辩论营的同学们的分享中，关于美国大学的暑期活动我们已经感受一二了，那么在英国，假期活动会有所不同吗？

This summer I was so fortunate that I got the opportunity to get involved in a summer school program. That was my first time to fly to England and I enjoyed every moment.

You could choose your courses and which universities do you want to visit in the entry form, I was one of the OCC students and I chose natural science. What impressed me the most was the mock interview for OCC students.

You were going to be taught how to write a brilliant personal statement in the university counseling classes, then you would send your personal statement to another teacher who was responsible for this.

In the interview, you could obviously have a sense of the style of Cambridge. Actually, I was kind of nervous but the interviewer was so kind that makes me feel better.

今年夏天，我十分有幸能参加这样一个暑期学校项目。那是我第一次飞到英国，对我来说每时每刻都是一种享受。你可以在报名表上选择课程和想参观的大学。作为OCC的学生之一，我选择了自然科学。最让我印象深刻的是OCC学生的模拟面试。你将在升学指导课上被教导如何写一篇精彩的个人陈述，然后把它发送给另一位对此负责的老师。在面试中，你可以明显地感受到剑桥的风格。实际上，我当时有点紧张，但面试官十分亲切，让我感觉好多了。

In addition, the staff were all accountable. Every night we had a mentoring to summarise what we did in that day and the feelings of us, thus they could make the next program better. Certainly, we had some collective activities, for instance, the formal dinner and the camping.

We experienced a traditionally English formal dinner which was pretty impressive, and everyone wore their formal suits. All of the dishes looked delicate but some of them did not have a great taste, haha. We also went to a nearby city to conduct our camping. We had loads of various group activities such as boating and archery.

老师们很负责，每天晚上，都有导师来总结我们当天所做的事情和我们的个人感受，这样他们就能及时收到反馈也能把下一次的项目做得更好。当然，我们还有一些集体课外活动，例如，正式晚宴与野营。我们体验了一次传统的英国正餐，令人印象深刻。每个人都穿着正装，所有的菜品看起来都很精致，尽管其中有些的味道让人不太好描述。我们还去了附近的一个城市露营。团体活动很多，还有诸如划船和射箭。

I thought the purpose of this program was broadening our horizons and it did really work.

我认为这个项目的目的是拓宽我们的视野，事实证明确实如此。
