08-09年度來我校交流的AFS學生圓滿完成各項交流任務,于6月27日赴上海參加AFS全國辦組織的回國前培訓,然后分別在28日或29日回國。
這批AFS學生在中國生活學習了將近一年,他們有些什么感觸和收獲,我們不妨一起領略一下孩子們寫的總結。
比利時學生馬牛寫道,“I love travelling. This is mainly why I wanted to spend one year abroad. Now the question is: why having chosen China? I first had in mind to go to Australia, but after questioning myself, I got that conclusion: The main aim of my trip is to discover a different culture quite deeply. I already went a few times in Africa, but never in Asia, America or Australia. But out of these three continents, which one has the most different culture? Asia. Besides, China is a growing country, which is about to become the first economic power of the world. So China is the country of the future, and I have no idea of the life there. That's some culture difference, I thought. That's why I chose to go to China. (參考譯文:我喜歡旅游,這是我出國一年的主要原因。問題是為什么選擇中國?我最初想去澳大利亞。但我反復思考,我的結論是:我交流的主要目的是深入了解不同文化…我到過非洲,但從沒到過亞洲、美洲、澳洲。這三個洲,哪個文化差異最大?亞洲。此外,中國是發(fā)展中國家,有望成為世界頭號經(jīng)濟大國,中國是世界的未來。而我對中國一無所知…這是我選擇中國的原因。
瑞士學生茉莉花(Jasmin)在來常州8個星期的期中小結中寫道,“我愛中國! 到現(xiàn)在,我停留時間很有意思!我學到了很多的東西有關中國的文化。我要真的學中文!但漢語非常難,而我只有八個星期在這兒!??!我不要回國家,可是我必須回去… 我很喜歡走另外的城市象上海和南京!我也太喜歡了我中國和AFS的朋友?。。‰m然我是懷舊一點,我希望我今后有更多的快樂到我回國!!!”
泰國學生林雪云寫道,“呀!多么快??!我在中國10月了。不敢相信。我仍舊覺得我剛剛開始了。
這十個月我學習了許多事請。我也認識了很多人,不但有中國人而且來自各種各樣的國家的交換學生。他門很好!
關于學校生活,早上我在教室和同學學習。呀~~雖然我專心聽老師教,但我還不能全聽懂。下午我和別的從瑞士,德國,比利時和土耳其來的交換學生五個人有特別的課例如漢語、中國文化、太極,書法和體育。
在這兒我生活太好!我能做我所想要的,我真想不回去,在中國讀大學。
德國學生娜塔麗的感受是“It’s a little bit confusing with my feelings, because I’m so very happy to go back to Germany to see my family and all my friends. Nevertheless I made also very good friends here and I love my family and my school so much here and it’s not sure when I can see them again, when I can see China again with all it’s beautiful faces like the cities I have seen , such as Shanghai or Beijing or even my Changzhou, the fascinating nature in some parts of the country which made my heart stop beating when it flashed by the trains window and I’m glad that I could experience China with nearly all it’s faces. I think it helped all of us to grow up, to get more responsible and to get more aware of what we do and what is important in life. (參考譯文:我的感情現(xiàn)在有點復雜。因為能回國與家人和朋友團聚感到非常高興,然而,我在中國交了許多好朋友,而我又那么喜歡我的接待家庭和學校。我不知道什么時候能再見到他們,也不知道什么時候能再回中國,見到我到過的漂亮地方如北京、上海、甚至常州,以及火車車窗外飛馳而過的令我激動不已的農(nóng)村風光。我很高興我能全方位體驗中國,這種經(jīng)歷幫助我們成長,使我們更有責任感和使命感…
比利時學生馬牛最后說,“So about my impressions of this AFS year in China, I won't ever forget it, I will miss it, I loved it, I almost never had any depressive moments, or low spirits, I love all my friends here, my family and my school, too, everything... For the next AFS students, I only have one word in mind: ENJOY !” (參考譯文:我在中國交流一年的感受是:我永遠不會忘記它,我懷念它熱愛它。一年來,我從沒沮喪過低沉過。我熱愛我所有的朋友,熱愛我的接待家庭和接待學校,熱愛這兒的一切。對以后要來交流的AFS學生,我只想到一個詞:盡情欣賞。)
