今天GJXX小編搜羅了北京德威英國(guó)國(guó)際學(xué)校精彩的暑假旅程希望給擇校的家長(zhǎng)們提供參考。

The summer holidays gave everyone various opportunities to step out of their usual routine. Let’s see how some of the Dulwich College Beijing students used the summer break to widen their horizons!

Our second summer story comes from Junior School student Emma W who takes us along her discovery of the Leshan Giant Buddha, the Terracotta Army and Dali.

My amazing trip

Author | Emma W

The sun blazing like a hot ball of fire, my eyes narrowing to block out the light, I smiled. The Buddha’s face smiled cheerfully at me, his eyes blazing with determination to stop this flood. It towered over us with a 71-metre height. I gasped. It was magnificent. My friend Emma Y and I did a funny pose of the Leshan Buddha. We giggled as we saw the photos, it was a bit weird. The Buddha was started by a monk named Hai Tong. He hoped that the Buddha would calm the flooding waters that washed over the ships.

 

Later, we went to see the Terracotta Warriors. It was astounding. Their faces glowed at us and they clutched deadly weapons. The Terracotta Army was discovered by farmers while digging for a well. Astonishingly, the Terracotta Warriors lay dormant for more than 2,000 years! It consists of more than 8,000 figures simply buried in the ground and abandoned. The army of life-size terracotta soldiers, archers, horses and chariots was stationed in a military formation near Emperor Qin's tomb in order to protect the emperor in the afterlife. Each terracotta soldier appears to be unique in its facial features, revealing a high level of craftsmanship. After the deep knowledge that the Terracotta Warriors have added to our Year 5 learning, my brain was suddenly surging with power.

During the summer holidays, we went to Yunnan. First of all, we took a train to Shandong to visit my grandparents, then we set off to Yunnan. We were supposed to leave at 6.30pm, but unfortunately, the train got delayed until the next day at 1.00am. We arrived in Yunnan the next day at 5.00am! It was tiring, especially with my one-year-old brother. We arrived in Dali and stayed there for a week. Our eyes were drooping down, my back slouched with pain, but that didn’t stop me from having fun. The most exciting part was climbing a rushing river. The freezing water chilled my feet and made me shudder with fright, but I ignored it and slushed through the water. We listened to the birds chirping in unison, singing in a sweet melody. Suddenly, my head banged on something hard, and I screamed quietly in my mouth. Tears stung my eyes, and I quickly swiped them away. My head blazed with agony, and the pain pierced through me like a blade. However, I wouldn’t let it stop me.

I also celebrated my birthday on 13 August. Even though I had a very tiring three-hour fencing class in the morning, I got a treat from my father, telling me to eat whatever I would like. And I received a gift that I loved. It was the best birthday ever!

Before my summer holidays, I had to practise for a Grade 7 piano exam. Every day, I had to play for 4-5 hours, and I really felt like giving up. But the hard work paid off and because of my determination and courage, I got a good score and got distinction.

暑假給了每個(gè)人機(jī)會(huì)去嘗試一些與日常生活不同的活動(dòng)。讓我們看看北京德威的學(xué)生是如何利用暑假開(kāi)闊視野的！

我們的第二個(gè)暑假故事來(lái)自小學(xué)的Emma W，她將帶我們一起參觀樂(lè)山大佛和兵馬俑。

精彩的暑假旅程

撰稿者 | Emma W 太陽(yáng)像火球一樣熾熱，我瞇起眼睛擋住陽(yáng)光，情不自禁地笑了。大佛仿佛在朝我愉快地微笑，他的眼睛里光芒體現(xiàn)出抗洪的決心。樂(lè)山大佛高達(dá)71米。它的宏偉讓我倒吸一口氣。我的朋友Emma和我模仿佛像的姿勢(shì)拍了照，我們看到照片里的奇怪姿勢(shì)時(shí)都被逗樂(lè)了。樂(lè)山大佛是由一位名叫海通的和尚創(chuàng)立的。他希望大佛能平息淹沒(méi)船只的洪水。

后來(lái)，我們?nèi)タ戳吮R俑。兵馬俑手里握著致命的武器，臉上還帶著光澤，令人震驚。兵馬俑是當(dāng)?shù)剞r(nóng)民在挖井時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)的。令人驚訝的是，兵馬俑休眠了2000多年！整個(gè)兵馬俑共有8000多個(gè)雕像，包括弓箭手、馬匹和戰(zhàn)車，都是真人大小。他們駐扎在秦始皇陵墓附近，以保護(hù)過(guò)世的秦始皇。每個(gè)兵馬俑的面部特征都很獨(dú)特，展現(xiàn)出高超的技藝。深入了解兵馬俑為我們五年級(jí)的學(xué)習(xí)增添了新的知識(shí)和理解，我的大腦突然充滿了力量。        

暑假期間，我們還去了云南。首先，我們坐火車去山東看望我的祖父母，然后我們出發(fā)去云南。我們本應(yīng)在下午6點(diǎn)30分離開(kāi)，但不幸的是，火車晚點(diǎn)到了第二天凌晨1點(diǎn)。我們第二天早上5點(diǎn)到達(dá)云南！這很累，尤其是和我一歲的弟弟一起旅行。我們最后到達(dá)大理，在那里呆了一個(gè)星期。我們困得眼睛都睜不開(kāi)，背部因疲憊而疼痛，但這并沒(méi)有阻止我獲得一段愉快的旅程。最激動(dòng)人心的部分是淌過(guò)一條湍急的河流。冰冷的河水使我的腳冰涼，寒冷和恐懼令我渾身發(fā)抖，但我忽略了這些感受，從水中淌了出去。我們聽(tīng)著鳥(niǎo)兒啁啾，唱著悅耳的旋律。旅途中，我的頭撞到了什么堅(jiān)硬的東西上，為了保持安靜的環(huán)境，我只能在心里尖叫。淚水刺痛了我的眼睛，但我迅速地把它們擦掉。我的頭被疼痛而占據(jù)，疼痛像一把利刃刺穿了我。然而，我不會(huì)讓它阻止我前進(jìn)。        

我還在8月13日慶祝了我的生日。盡管我早上上了三個(gè)小時(shí)的擊劍課，非常累，但我還是得到了父親的款待，讓我想吃什么就吃什么。我收到了一份我喜歡的禮物。這是有史以來(lái)最好的生日！   暑假前，我不得不練習(xí)鋼琴的七級(jí)考試。每天，我都要練習(xí)4-5個(gè)小時(shí)，我有時(shí)候真的很想放棄。但是我的努力得到了回報(bào)，因?yàn)槲业臎Q心和恒心，我以優(yōu)異的成績(jī)通過(guò)了考級(jí)。
