Student Howard Diary:
Today is the first day of our 2-weeks summer camp in oxbridgeIn this morning,we had some time to adapt and take a look around the campus,given an opportunity to shop at stores.
Afterwards, we headed for lunch in the hotel, where had sandwiches and crisps.
We all headed towards our classes for the first time, where we were met by Ms. (),
who was 20 years-old graduate of Cambridge and answer all our questions.
She started off in the first 45 minutes by introducing herself and getting to know more about us.
Then we went into the backyard of the school, where i got stung by a insect.
In the second class, She talked about what we need to do specifically to get into oxbridge,
not by knowing a lot about the subject, but wanting to know a lot of the subject.
In the third class, we discussed the problems around the world that we wanted to help solve,
which was also very helpful for getting into university because demonstrating the willingness to learn and engage with the world around you is an important trait for university admissions.
After classes, we returned to the Hotel for a short rest before having time to walk around the campus.
This campus wasn’t like anyone i’ve been to before.
I really like how large and lush it is, with the sun setting at around 9 o’clock.There was a park there,
a huge park where animals flocked. There were deers in the woods and swans in the river.

今天是我們在牛津——劍橋大學(xué)為期兩周夏令營的第一天。早上,我們有時間適應(yīng)和參觀校園,并有機(jī)會在商店里購物。
之后,我們?nèi)ゾ频瓿晕顼?,那里有三明治和薯片。我們都第一次去上課,在那里我們遇到了()女士,她是一名20歲的劍橋大學(xué)畢業(yè)生,她回答了我們所有的問題。她先花了45分鐘來介紹自己,并了解我們的基本信息。然后帶領(lǐng)我們走進(jìn)學(xué)校的后院,在那里我被一個小蟲蜇了(我不知道)。在第二節(jié)課上,她談到了我們想要進(jìn)入牛津和劍橋大學(xué)所需要準(zhǔn)備的事項,這不僅只是要對學(xué)科有深入的見解,更需要對學(xué)科懷有濃厚的興趣。在第三節(jié)課上,我們討論了我們想幫助解決的全球性問題,這對進(jìn)入大學(xué)也非常有幫助,因?yàn)檎故緦W(xué)習(xí)和與關(guān)注世界形勢變化是大學(xué)錄取的一個重要的內(nèi)容。
下課后,我們回到酒店休息一會兒,然后在校園里散步。這個校園不像我以前去過的任何地方。我真的很喜歡它郁郁蔥蔥的校園環(huán)境,太陽直到9點(diǎn)左右才落山。這里有一個巨大的公園,里面有成群的動物們,樹林里有鹿,河里有天鵝。
