【topic】Back To School

School days are quite memorable and the first day of your school is very important, as it’s an overall new experience. School tiffin is also important on your first day of school.
上学的日子非常难忘,开学的第一天非常重要,因为这是一次全新的体验。开学第一天,学校的茶歇也很重要。

 The beginning of school means that the days of sleeping at home till waking up naturally will always stay in the winter vacation, and the happiness of keeping a glance at home will never come back. At the beginning of the new semester, we should set up a falg for ourselves. We should insist on going to bed early and getting up early.

In the face of heavy courses, professional books which are full of words at first sight, and teachers who are engaged in various kinds of homework and propose to innovate, my hairline is like the tide of love going backwards constantly, if time is a pig killing knife, then knowledge is to sharpened razor.

During the holiday alone, you don’t have to communicate face to face with others. Communication on the Internet can solve all unnecessary embarrassments through emojis

When entering the new semester, we should make a new learning plan, such as the achievement target of the new semester. The examination results in the university are almost earned in one or two Review weeks at the end of the semester, make a good summary of what review places were not in place in the last semester, check for missing and fill for missing. In the university, all kinds of scholarship evaluation and excellent evaluation are obtained from your comprehensive scores in that year.

Although I was already an adult, at the moment I packed my luggage and stepped on the door, I admitted that I began to miss home. But in the new semester, it means a new beginning. As long as there is tomorrow, every day is a new starting line! Cheer yourself up every day. I can, I can! I hope we can achieve something in the new semester!

As the new school semester began today, students from local primary, middle and high schools returned to their classrooms after the winter holiday.

新学期今日开学,寒假结束后,当地小学、初中、高中的学生纷纷返校上课。

At Minhang Experimental Primary School’s Chuncheng Campus, many students dressed up in traditional Chinese outfits instead of school uniforms.

在闵行实验小学春城校区,很多学生都穿着中国传统服装,而不是校服。

Teachers dressed in red greeted them, holding ox dolls to mark the Year of the tiger.

身着红衣的老师们拿着牛娃娃迎接他们,庆祝虎年。

At the entrance gate, a temporary wall was erected with decorations such as balloons and figures of lions and children.

在入口大门处,竖起了一面临时墙,墙上有气球、狮子和儿童等装饰物。

Zhang Jun, principal of the campus, said students were told to record happy moments with their families and explore traditional Chinese culture during Spring Festival.

校园校长张军说,学生们被告知在春节期间记录与家人的快乐时光,探索中国传统文化。

“Our international faculty were allowed permission to go back. So right now on campus, we have Chinese students, international faculty and a few international staff in place. But the students remain scattered around the world.”

“我们的国际教师被允许返回。所以现在在校园里,我们有中国学生、国际教师和一些国际工作人员。但学生仍然分散在世界各地。”

“The foreign students’ absence is conspicuous by the fact that the nature of the academic environment at DKU does shift and becomes more ‘Chinese’ and less global, so everyone, including the faculties, wants international students to be able to return,” Simon said.

“外国学生的缺席是显而易见的,因为昆山杜克的学术环境的性质确实发生了变化,变得更加‘中国化’而不是全球化,所以每个人,包括教职员工,都希望国际学生能够返回,”西蒙说。

“I can’t wait to see my best friend, Joshua, in person, rather than on a screen. I’ve missed PE lessons too but unfortunately won’t be able to play rugby again just yet.

“我迫不及待地想亲自见到我最好的朋友约书亚,而不是在屏幕上。我也错过了体育课,但不幸的是还不能再打橄榄球了。

“Mostly I’m just excited to go back to school and to be back in the classroom with my friends.”

“大多数时候,我很高兴能回到学校,和我的朋友们一起回到教室。”

 “It’s been hard work trying to keep up with everyone, as my remote lessons seem to take longer than they do in class.My teachers have been brilliant though, always at the end of an email and happy to help.which was so kind of them.”Amelia said

“努力跟上每个人的步伐是一项艰巨的工作,因为我的远程课程似乎比他们在课堂上花费的时间更长。不过,我的老师们都很出色,他们总是在电子邮件的末尾,乐于提供帮助。他们真是太好了。“ Amelia说

With the end of the month coming closer and closer, I find myself excited for the return to campus. For me, going to university is more than just education and the promise of a degree after many years of study. It is also the experiences gained by being on campus. From studying in the libraries to having a drink with friends at Dewey’s, university is more than just a classroom. It’s a key moment in our lives before we are released into the world beyond. With online learning, you are robbed of this camaraderie. 
随着月底的临近,我发现自己对重返校园感到兴奋。对我来说,上大学不仅仅是教育和多年学习后获得学位的承诺。这也是在校园里获得的经验。从在图书馆学习到在杜威与朋友小酌一杯,大学不仅仅是一间教室。在我们被释放到更远的世界之前,这是我们生命中的一个关键时刻。通过在线学习,您将失去这种友情。

 I miss being able to go for a drink with my friends after beating the grind that is midterms and projects. This ability to celebrate on campus was a reward for getting through all the projects, papers, and midterms worth half of my overall mark in a class. By being in-person, we are all able to meet up on a moment’s notice to share stories, and be together. With online learning, you don’t get that light at the end of the tunnel, just the slog. 

在完成了期中考试和项目之后,我很怀念能够和朋友一起去喝一杯的感觉。这种在校园里庆祝的能力是对完成所有项目、论文和期中考试的奖励,这些项目的成绩占我班级总成绩的一半。通过面对面,我们都可以在接到通知后立即见面,分享故事,并在一起。通过在线学习,您不会在隧道尽头看到那盏灯,只是艰难的。

 Along with this, it’s not unfair to say that online learning pales in comparison to what one can learn in an actual classroom. Don’t get me wrong, professors have worked hard to adapt their classes to online learning, but it’s simply not the same. 

除此之外,说在线学习与在实际课堂上学习的内容相比相形见绌,这并不是不公平的。不要误会我的意思,教授们努力使他们的课程适应在线学习,但这根本就不一样。
