Summer in the USA

暑假里，融合部高二2班的19名学生踏上了为期两个月的赴美游学旅程。

在马里兰州的美国泉谷高中（Springdale Preparatory School）, 一个宁静的新温莎小镇上，体验了纯正的美式教育，学习了多元的美国文化，尝试了新奇的户外运动，挑战了各类陌生又困难的学业任务。

第一次离开家离开父母,如此之久。新的语言环境，巨大的文化差异，甚至截然不同的饮食习惯。他们究竟经历了怎样的酸甜苦辣，憧憬、喜悦、兴奋、焦虑、失落、坚持、成长……让高二2班的同学们娓娓道来。

第一章生活 | 文化体验

农场

游乐园

农场的自然田园风光

沁人心脾

带大家领略到另一种淳朴生活

好时游乐场的刺激和尖叫

是青春里最血脉喷张的记忆

当然还有亲密无间的伙伴

和香浓的巧克力～

Alex Ji:

We went to the farm to know about life in the 1840s.

Firstly, we saw two cows and they were framed together. The farmer had trained them so when the farmer knocked the frame, they would become obedient. Their horns were cut down to prevent hurting each other. Then we went to the barn. At that time, people stored the property in it and they would get tickets that could exchange things. Thirdly, we went to the smithy. Two elderly blacksmiths were making the horseshoes.

Living at SPS

鸡蛋、培根、香肠、华夫饼、炸土豆

营养美味的美式早餐

伴随着每一个元气满满的清晨

罗宋汤、蜜汁鸡翅、酱牛肉、炙烤羊肋排

堪比米其林的中餐徐大厨

用心为同学呈现一道道惊艳的中餐美食

大家赞不绝口

美味的饭菜更寄托着一份

对家的思念

对国的留恋

烧烤

Dance Party

全员参与的烧烤

是吃货们的最爱

上等的羊腿肉，齐全的配料

在风景优美的平台上

从夕阳西下一直到月上柳梢

烧烤是一场狂欢

更是一场篝火边的互诉衷肠

Stephen Xu:

We had a dancing party on Friday night. The lights were shining. DJ was excited and he attracted many people to dance. He was passionate and he even sent some of us some gifts like headsets. We had a nice time with him.

漂流

博物馆

漂流,

你以为是迪士尼那种几分钟的游乐项目？

No No No

我们在开放水域漂了3个多小时

时而平静、时而激荡

5人小组坐在皮划艇中

每个人划桨的配合

是渡过急流的关键

中途的靠岸休息

跳进水中，泼一身湖水

清凉了一整个酷暑

原来户外运动可以如此酣畅淋漓

让人忘记疲惫

更让你发现队友是如此可靠率性

Art 老爷爷家的花园

同学们在这里和美国老师畅聊生活

建立深厚友谊

我们在Art老爷爷家

举办了两次愉快的周末Party

好客的老爷爷备上丰盛的汉堡、热狗、饮料

招待来自遥远中国的小客人们

他家里有游泳池，小山坡，体育馆

饶有兴致的同学可以开上四轮电动车

在山坡上逛一圈

好不惬意

第二章学习

我们从不曾在课堂中

如此放松过

也不曾

如此紧张过。

美国的课堂，自由、丰富多彩

但是内容和任务却一点都不简单

自学知识，然后做演讲

是家常便饭

团队合作、排演戏剧

惊讶地发现

原来大家都是天才

原来大家什么都可以做到！

In class

Jason Chen:

While in China, it is usually lectures combined with a few discussions. Which is quite efficient but the American teaching style can help students dig deeper.

For the students who do a presentation, they have to find resources and get their ideas. It's not teachers talking about their ideas any longer. It's good to have different opinions with others, and critical thinking is important in academics and the work.

——文学老师 Ms. Nichols

第三章大学访校

Campus Tour

哈佛大学、宾夕法尼亚大学、纽约大学

当你踏进这些名校的校园

你会无比羡慕，无比憧憬，无比崇拜

如果有一天，我也成为这里的一个学生

大概就是梦想成真了吧！

Thea Wu:

The tranquility and peace of Villanova University and the College of the Holy Cross are something I can't forget. They are two schools with a strong religious atmosphere. They cover a large area and both are located on the hills. Their ancient buildings are covered with dark green ivy, which looks like a turquoise ocean. In such buildings, everyone will be willing to study hard! These are good places to focus on academics.
