2019海外研学四周团之澳大利亚交换生项目
阿德莱德时间上午八点，我们乘坐的飞机安全着陆。在对方学校老师Matt的带领下，我们来到了威斯敏斯特学校。澳洲Westminster School是一所男女兼收的学校，接纳本地学生和国际留学生。学校位于阿德莱德市郊，占地23公顷，环境优美安静，离市中心约10公里，只需15分钟车程即可到达阿德莱德国际机场。
Our house mother took us to the boarding house, which is a warm dormitory. Four students share one dormitory. There is a bathroom,a laundry room，a kitchen，a living room and three bedrooms in the dormitory. There is a dryer in the laundry room, a microwave oven in the kitchen. And house mothers will prepare some food for each dormitory to cook. House mothers are very kind , just like our parents. They take care of us ,even my phone is broken they can take me out to fix it. Once, I forgot to tell the house mother that I went to the dining hall, then I found that one of the house mother looked for me everywhere by car. They are very responsible.
英语课时，老师会带我们去图书馆借书，然后带领我们在课堂上阅读，就像学校里的阅读课一样。除此之外，老师还会在一个program上布置自主作业让学生完成。对于不在program上的交换生，老师会让我们到图书馆进行阅读，或者使用email发送给我们。这种学习方式让我体会到了自律的重要性。如果不自律的话，你甚至可以带上耳机偷偷看电影、打游戏，老师也不会牢牢监督你，但是你却学不到任何东西了。
Science class is very interesting, and science teacher is very kind and nice. Science class is also like Self-regulated learning. Actually every class is self—regulated learning. Our teacher will show us some pictures about what we have to do on the screen, and we have to take a photo of it or copy it down, then we have to work on it with the help of Internet. I find that some of the students very naughty, but other students are not influenced at all. They are very careful and attentive on their works. And they are also very positive and have their own opinions .Sometimes they debate with the teacher very seriously and dare to ask questions，which let me feel equality between teachers and students.
美术课是在一个独栋的类似美术馆的地方授课的，里面还有油画、陶艺等。教室没有固定的门，每当我到达教室都能听到贯彻整栋的音乐声，各种画作陈列在墙壁上，入口处皆是学生们等待继续完成的画作贴在画板上，一派浓浓的艺术气息。美术课一般都是老师给一个主题，然后接下来几节课都围绕这个主题学习。例如，我们学到的主题就是陶瓷的瓶瓶罐罐。首先，老师让我们用笔记本上网查找学习关于陶瓷瓶罐的资料，等足够了解以后，老师会给我们看现实中的一些成品，在观摩学习后，老师就开始教我们如何临摹了。第二节课，老师会让我们研究罐子顶部的饰品。我们需要收集各种各样的饰品图案，并且在一张纸上呈现出来。这些美术课让我受益匪浅，让我对这些陶瓷瓶罐有了更加深入的认知。
This one and a half-week study in Westminster school helps me a lot. The deepest feeling is that how important Self-discipline is. If you are Self-disciplined enough, nobody can affect you. And I know that we have to be positive and show your ideas to others. Don’t be shy !
虽然刚开始感觉有点不适应，但老师和同学都很热心地帮助我，告诉我哪节课去哪里，同学们也都非常努力让我融入他们。
高士奇曾说过：对世界上的一切学问与知识的掌握并非难事，只要持之以恒地学习，努力掌握规律，达到熟悉的境地，就能融会贯通，运用自如了。希望我们能逐渐融入，收获到意想不到的惊喜。
