Cherry’s Diary

Today is Friday. We still have a detailed plan to do. The breakfast was still the same. I ate two croissants and a cup of milk. It was tasty but I thought it was easy to get fat. After I went back to my dorm, I got the message that we were going to lesson at 9, which is great because I can take a break. I have finished remembering my vocabs. We went to the institute. During the lesson, Ms. Serika first asked the things we had done yesterday. Unfortunately, I just spent the whole day in my dorm since my knee was hurting. Then she told us about her life in Cambridge and what she thinks is the difference between Cambridge college and other UK colleges. It sounds interesting because that’s the purpose I came to this camp: to explore what life is like in a college in the UK. And she told us that if you are a Cambridge student, you have got accommodation for 3 years and they provide food for you, but after that, if you keep staying in the college you have to rent a house by yourself. After 11 a.m., the class finished, we went to the big shop and bought snacks. Because these days, lunch is always sandwiches. It’s delicious though, but dull. We saw the fusilli, which looked tasty, so we bought two as our lunch for today. It’s really good though, but we couldn’t find a place to warm up the food, so sad. As expected, the lunch is sandwiches, but today, they heat the sandwiches, which are quite delicious, but at that time we were full already. We went back to the dorm and took a rest. In the afternoon, we go back to the academy and have a lesson as usual. The topic for this lesson was different. It’s my favorite part—— debate. The topic is about whether social media make children less socially active. I was forced to choose the side I didn't like, but we got enough time to prepare for it, so during that time, I came up with plenty of ideas and examples which can fully support my side. I felt nervous when expressing my ideas, but it still went on successfully. I like debate, but also not. Because everything is two-sided, even though we have got enough evidence to support our argument, we can’t fully say st is 100% correct. Just like today’s topic, even though we realize that social media do have more negative effects on human behavior, we can no longer live without them. It only depends on how we use it. I just realized that today is the last lesson that Ms. Serika will teach us. I like this kind of lesson, because she does teach me a lot. And I told her that there is 1% probability that we will see each other after a few years in Cambridge. We visited another college after that. It’s pretty big but my knee hurt a little bit so I just found a chair and took a rest. We took some pictures and wondered around. Finally, we went back to our dorm. We follow the mobile navigation and finally back to the hotel. Today’s dinner is tasty and cheesy, it’s a traditional dish in the UK——ish and chips. It’s delicious though, but I didn’t eat that much since I'm afraid I'll have a sore throat. For tonight, we can choose whether to stay in the dorm or have a walk outside. I am sleepy so I just stayed in the hotel. In conclusion, today is a day full of activities. It makes everyone tired but happy since we are staying with friends. And Happy birthday to Kale.

樱桃的日记:

今天是星期五。我们还有一个详细的计划要做。早餐还是和以往一样，我吃了两个牛角面包和一杯牛奶，非常美味，但我认为它很容易让人肥胖。在我回到宿舍后，我收到消息说我们9点要上课，我可以有充裕的时间休息一下了，因为我已经背完了我的学习单词。

在研究所上课时，Serika老师首先问我们昨天做了什么。不幸的是，因为我的膝盖受伤，我在宿舍里呆了一整天。然后她向我们讲述了她在剑桥的生活，以及她认为剑桥大学与其他英国大学的不同之处，这听起来很有趣。

因为这就是我参加英国牛剑夏令营游学的目的:探索英国大学的生活是什么样的。她告诉我们，如果你是剑桥的学生，你有三年的住宿，他们为你提供餐食，但在那之后，如果你继续留在学校，你必须自己租房子。

上午11点下课后，我们去商超购买零食。因为现在的午餐都是三明治，虽然味道很好，但是很乏味。我们看到了意大利面条，它看起来蛮好吃的，所以我们买了两个作为今天的午餐，非常美味！但是我们找不到地方加热食物，真让人难过。

不出所料，今天午餐还是三明治，虽然味道很棒但那时我们已经吃饱了。我们回到宿舍休息了一下。下午，我们像往常一样回到学校上课。这节课的主题是不同的。

辩论是我最喜欢的部分。这个话题是关于社交媒体是否会让孩子的社交活跃度降低。我被迫选择了我不喜欢的一方，但我们有足够的时间来准备，所以在这段时间里，我想出了很多想法和案例，可以充分支持我的立场。

当我表达观点时，我虽然会感到紧张，但辩论依旧进行的很顺利。我认为凡事都是双面的，即使我们有足够的论据来支撑我们的论点，我们也不能完全说它是100%正确的。就像今天的话题一样，尽管我们意识到社交媒体确实对人类行为有一些负面影响，但我们的生活已经离不开它了，这只取决于我们如何使用它。

我刚意识到今天是Serika老师教我们的最后一课了，我喜欢这些课，因为她确实教会了我很多。我告诉她，在剑桥待上几天后，我们有1%的可能性会再见面。

之后我们参观了另一所大学。球场很大，不过我的膝盖有点疼，所以我找了张椅子休息了一下。在此期间我们随处逛了逛并拍了一些照片，随后我们便回到了酒店。

今天的晚餐不仅有美味食物还有和奶酪，这是英国的传统菜——炸鱼和薯条。虽然很好吃，但我没吃那么多，因为我怕喉咙痛。今晚，我们可以选择是呆在宿舍里还是出去散步。因为我有点犯困，所以就呆在旅馆里。总之，今天是充满活动的一天。游学让每个人都很累，但很高兴，因为我们和朋友呆在一起。祝卡莱生日快乐。

她首先花了45分钟来介绍自己，并了解我们的基本信息。然后带领我们去参观了学校的后院，在那里我被一只小飞虫蜇了一下。在第二堂课上，她谈到了进入牛津和剑桥大学所需要准备的事项，这不仅需要对学科只是有深入的见解，更要对学科怀有浓厚的兴趣。第三节课上，我们探讨了想要帮助解决的全球性问题，这对大学升学上也非常有帮助，因为展示不断学习的意愿和关注世界形势变化是大学录取中重要的内容。

下课后，我们回到酒店休息了一会儿，然后在校园里散步。这个学校与我以前去过的任何地方都有所不同。我非常喜欢它郁郁葱葱的校园环境，太阳直到晚上9点左右才下山。这里许多商店比中国的都要大。这里还有一座公园，树林里面有小鹿，河里面有天鹅，大家都在自由自在地嬉戏。
