Life
in Front School

Every summer in the past years, I always
stayed at home, watching TV. Listening to tapes, reading
some novels and sometimes just sleeping. I had nothing
spiral to do. I felt summer vacation was a waste of
time. Not only because I couldn't obtain much more knowledge,
but also because I didn't go over my studies.
But this summer holiday. I made a choice to come to
the front school in Beijing. I want waste my time any
longer. There is a proverb in china "time can never
be bought by money". I think it's the troth.
Although I couldn't watch TV at night and should study
hand, I think life in front school is colorful and interesting.
At least, I felt very substantial.
Every morning. I get up about 5:30. After brushing
my teeth and washing my faces, I sit on my bed and receive
the Chinese international broadcast. The English programmer
is good. It induces news. Topic discussion conversation
dialogue and so on, it's very useful to improve my hastening
comprehension. One and half hours later, I do the morning
reading by myself. At 9:30, the class begins. The foreign
teacher named Simon who comes from England teaches us
in the morning. He is a very humongous man. He always
gives us some situation and asks us to make noel plays
in pairs or in groups. Sometimes, the role-plays were
very funny and made a lot of mistakes, Simon might frown
his brow and say "rubbish". It's just a joke,
I think! Then the atmosphere becomes happy and relaxed.
In such circumstances, what he has said can impress
us. Then in the afternoon from 2:00-5:00, another foreign
teacher. Johnny who is from New York, teaches us. Johnny
always asks us a lot of questions and shows his own
opinions about what we have said firstly. Then he will
give us some topics to make group discussion. Sometimes,
he divides us into two groups and lets us make a debate.
It's difficult, but it can precise our ways of thinking
in English. Johnny said it's the most important thing.
Whatever we have said, he always gives us a clap. With
his encouragement, I rebuild up my confidence. I think
he is a very intelligent and thoughtful teacher. Different
teachers have different teaching methods; I feel that
I absorb much from them. Though I myself should still
study English hard, I won't be a machine and always
just recite the vocabulary and remember some sentence
structures.
At my leisure. I always go out for a walk at night.
I'm not a local person in Beijing. Also I'm a student
in college, I'm really interested in some famous universities.
I'm eager to see Qinghua university and Beijing university.
I always dreamed, one day, I can wander in the campus
and ever study there. Fortunately, there're so many
universities nearby front school, in duding Qinghua
and Beijing. So I can go there to just walk on the street
or speak to foreign people. On the weekend, forgetter
with my roommates and classmates, I go to scenic spots,
such as the Great Wall, former imperial palace. Summer
palace and so on, I really want to realize the magnificent
history and establish the sense of pride as pride as
a Chinese and a college student of the new century.
All in all, I'm satisfied with my life in front school,
though the living condition isn't very good. I can bear
it completely. Because so many interesting things happen
everyday I feel life is colorful and rich. That's enough,
I think.
I believe, if we try our best today, tomorrow we will
be better.
