Elva Wang, 9th grader：

This trip is the second time that I’ve gotten in touch with the students in Dublin School. Last time we went to ChangBai Mountain and watched the skiing competition. Their persistence really amazed me. Once they find their dream or interests, like skiing, they spend all their enthusiasm in it and never give up. Maybe that’s the difference between us and them.

一起上课：感受讨论式教学模式 

Fortunately, this time we went to their school and spent a whole day with the students, one-on-one, shadowing their schedule. Studying with them and experiencing their life. That amazed me again, because their lifestyle is really different from ours.

课堂好似专题研讨会, 学生与老师,学生与学生互动

Firstly, their classes are diverse. They can choose whatever they except for the classes they must take. They can use their cellphones during class, but nobody used them to entertain themselves. They know what that are supposed to do. They have enough time to play, and don’t just lie on the bed and watch “DouYin”. They do sports, join theme parties, or do research. That’s their meaning in life.Secondly, it’s very open in their school. This is very different from the public school in Beijing. They can practice in real life. They can also choose their major. If you are a sports person, they you can spend ore time doing sports.

The school supports and agrees with that. The school also provides, facilities, equipment and chances to help achieve your goal.Last the food in Dublin is pretty good. It’s pretty healthy and delicious. The environment is also beautiful, with plenty of plants and lovely animals. It’s a good place to rest after study. Additionally, their library is amazing. It is broken into two parts, a group study area and a place where you can study alone.

美丽的校园环境

这次交流是我第二次和都柏林学校的学生接触。上次的接触是在中国长白山观看滑雪比赛。他们对体育的坚持让我印象深刻。一旦他们找到了自己的梦想和兴趣，比如滑雪，他们就会充满热情，永不言弃。可能这就是我们和他们之间的差距。

幸运的是，来都柏林学校进行了一天的交流, 我们一对一地跟随他们的学生，完成一天的学习生活。让我觉得有趣的是，他们的生活方式和我们很不一样。

校园内的天文馆

首先，他们的课很多样化，有很多选修课。他们可以在课上使用手机，但是没有学生玩儿手机。他们自觉性很高，即使在课余时间，也不会浪费时间看“抖音”。他们做很多运动，参加有主题的活动和做研究工作，这对他们是更具有意义的。

第二，他们的学校抱有很开放的态度，这点和中国学校很不同。他们学的东西比较实用，而且也可以选课。如果你很喜欢运动，那么你可以花更多时间在体育上。学校支持和鼓励学生这样做。学校也会尽力提供设施、器材和各种机会帮助实现学生的目标。

合二为一的化学教室/化学实验室

最后，都柏林学校的伙食也很不错 ：既健康又好吃。学校环境优美，有很多植物和可爱的小动物。学习之余也可以放松。另外，他们的图书馆也非常棒，提供了小组学习和单独学习两块区域。

上午结束后，都柏林高中校长Brad Bates和学生们交流上午的体验

跟Elva同学具有相同体验的同学还有很多，通过一对一的深入交流和实际体验，学生们真正体验到了美国寄宿学校的生活和课堂，同时还交到了新的朋友，是学生们打开国际视野的绝佳机会。
