学部建设

From Alex Xu

    今天是来澳洲的第二天，闹钟一响，我和平常一样，把头一闷，顿时世界清静了。等会，我好像在澳洲。今天是第一天正式上课，我“垂死病中惊坐起”，一心想着要留个好印象。把睡意抛在了脑后，洗漱完后，前往厨房吃早饭。（这边早饭在厨房吃，中饭在花园吃，晚饭在dinning room 吃）看到那熟悉的麦片，牛奶，叹了口气。这个需要把它倒在碗里,用牛奶泡着吃。因为牛奶是从冰箱里拿出来，昨天吃了有些不舒服，在心中留下了阴影。但早饭还是要吃的，在住家的目光下，倒了一碗牛奶泡着麦片，保持着微笑，吃了下去。吃完早饭后，拿了午餐盒，前往车站。（在这边，午饭都是类似便当一类的，当然你可以去食堂吃，不过大部分学生都是带过去吃的。几乎吃的都是三明治，也是冷的）

    Today is our second day in Australia. As usual, I didn’t get up immediately once the bell rang in the morning. But suddenly, I realised that I was in Australia and today is our first day at Immanuel college. I should not be late. I jumped up and washed up quickly. Then I rushed to kitchen for breakfast. It’s special food-cereal and milk. You need to put cereal in the milk, then you can eat.  I was uncomfortable with chilled milk yesterday morning. But I need to have breakfast, I finished it with smile. After breakfast, I took my lunch box and went to school by catching a school bus.  Most of the students take their own lunch box to school. And most of them are cold sandwiches.

    我们乘校车前往学校’Immanuel College’，上了两个小时的英文课后，老师带我们游览学校。有一种刘姥姥进大观园的感觉，这个学校就像是一个小型大学，各种设施应有尽有，咖啡厅，健身房，体育馆，剧院，游泳馆。也许，这就是我们与国外学校的区别吧。国外的学生他们有许多爱好，经常可以看到一个个背着琴，球拍。据我了解，所有的学校都有开设球队，并且会经常去参加比赛。厉害的学生已经进行职业训练了。另一方便，他们需要花很多的时间在这些爱好上，使我们在成绩上有优势。澳洲所学的知识绝大部分在初中阶段我们已经学过了，我们只需结合英文就行了。当然，我们肯定也需要在体育和音乐等方面提高自己。。
    We took school bus to ‘Immanuel College’, and had two hours of English class. After the class, the teacher gave us a tour around the college. That’s really amazing! It has different kinds of facilities including swimming pool, gym, cafe and theatre.This is the difference between Chinese students and foreign students.Foreign students always have a lot of hobbies. Most of them always carry bags of bats, music instruments with the,. And colleges have their own sports teams. And they take part in competitions frequently. Some students are even trained professionally. Because they need to spend time on sports, I think we can do better on study than them.

    Because we have learned most of these contents in China earlier, we only need to study them again in English. Of course, we also need to improve ourselves in PE and music, they are also very important.

    在这次游览中，他们的宿舍令我印象极深。一进门，是几台电脑，用以学生进出时的签到。径直往前，你会走进玻璃走廊，走廊两侧是花园，里面是学生自己种的植物。过了走廊，来到了大厅，一台大电视在大厅中央，沙发环绕其旁，还有台球桌和乒乓桌。可以想象，傍晚，同学们回到宿舍，绿树摇曳，灯光闪烁，一片一片绿意在他们眼前绽开，一天的烦恼都不存在了。开开心心的聚在一起看看电视，打打球。多么美好的生活。不仅如此，他们的宿舍是类似于套房一样的，还可以烧饭，有一张餐桌。感觉这是天堂班的生活啊。这样学习，简直就是享受。如果我这所学校上学，估计我可能会每天期待那美好的宿舍生活。

At the end of corridor there is a hall with a large TV and several sofas around it.Students can watch it when they finish their work. And there is a tennis court and a table tennis table in the hall as well. I can imagine that when students come back, they can see the beautiful plants so they will forget annoyance, they can also sit on sofas chat and watchTV together. Meanwhile, they can play tennis or ping pang. In their dormitory,they can even cook.That’s very nice. I really like this kind of life!

    下午去了商场，说实话，我不喜欢逛街，也不知道什么要买，在那睡了很久。我们回到学校，自己乘着校车回家了。（3点多就放了，当时正好结束）晚饭后我们出去散步，走到了另一所学校，叫做Scotch College,它不同于我们学校，是属于比较古典型的建筑，也是大部分中国学生认为的学校，而我们学校是属于比较现代的。
    回家的时候，宽阔的马路终于远离了喧嚣沉寂下来,路灯的光芒中泛着一丝幽冷,红绿灯停止了变换,黄灯一闪一闪地提示着这不是一副静止的城市写真画作,忽然,一辆轿车疾驰而过,车轮卷起的落叶犹在路面上翻滚着,车辆却已绝尘而去没了踪影. 
     We went to the shopping mall in the afternoon.Actually, I didn’t know what to buy.I fell asleep there. Later we went back to college first then took school bus again to home. After the dinner, we went out for a walk. We walked past another college called Scotch College. It has classical buildings, unlike Immanuel College(has modern style buildings); I think Scotch College corresponds more to an imaginary foreign college in Chinese students’ mind.
    On the way back, It was very quiet and peaceful around us. The broad road was away from the noisy during daytime. The traffic lights stopped changing, only the yellow light was flashing, which indicated this was not a City portrait paintings. Suddenly, a car passed with high speed and disappeared at the end of the road quickly, leaves were left rolling on the road.
