北京德威英国国际学校精彩的暑假旅程

今天小编搜罗了北京德威英国国际学校精彩的暑假旅程希望给择校的家长们提供参考。

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

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.

暑假给了每个人机会去尝试一些与日常生活不同的活动。让我们看看北京德威的学生是如何利用暑假开阔视野的！

我们的第二个暑假故事来自小学的Emma W，她将带我们一起参观乐山大佛和兵马俑。

精彩的暑假旅程

撰稿者 | Emma W 太阳像火球一样炽热，我眯起眼睛挡住阳光，情不自禁地笑了。大佛仿佛在朝我愉快地微笑，他的眼睛里光芒体现出抗洪的决心。乐山大佛高达71米。它的宏伟让我倒吸一口气。我的朋友Emma和我模仿佛像的姿势拍了照，我们看到照片里的奇怪姿势时都被逗乐了。乐山大佛是由一位名叫海通的和尚创立的。他希望大佛能平息淹没船只的洪水。

后来，我们去看了兵马俑。兵马俑手里握着致命的武器，脸上还带着光泽，令人震惊。兵马俑是当地农民在挖井时发现的。令人惊讶的是，兵马俑休眠了2000多年！整个兵马俑共有8000多个雕像，包括弓箭手、马匹和战车，都是真人大小。他们驻扎在秦始皇陵墓附近，以保护过世的秦始皇。每个兵马俑的面部特征都很独特，展现出高超的技艺。深入了解兵马俑为我们五年级的学习增添了新的知识和理解，我的大脑突然充满了力量。        

暑假期间，我们还去了云南。首先，我们坐火车去山东看望我的祖父母，然后我们出发去云南。我们本应在下午6点30分离开，但不幸的是，火车晚点到了第二天凌晨1点。我们第二天早上5点到达云南！这很累，尤其是和我一岁的弟弟一起旅行。我们最后到达大理，在那里呆了一个星期。我们困得眼睛都睁不开，背部因疲惫而疼痛，但这并没有阻止我获得一段愉快的旅程。最激动人心的部分是淌过一条湍急的河流。冰冷的河水使我的脚冰凉，寒冷和恐惧令我浑身发抖，但我忽略了这些感受，从水中淌了出去。我们听着鸟儿啁啾，唱着悦耳的旋律。旅途中，我的头撞到了什么坚硬的东西上，为了保持安静的环境，我只能在心里尖叫。泪水刺痛了我的眼睛，但我迅速地把它们擦掉。我的头被疼痛而占据，疼痛像一把利刃刺穿了我。然而，我不会让它阻止我前进。        

我还在8月13日庆祝了我的生日。尽管我早上上了三个小时的击剑课，非常累，但我还是得到了父亲的款待，让我想吃什么就吃什么。我收到了一份我喜欢的礼物。这是有史以来最好的生日！   暑假前，我不得不练习钢琴的七级考试。每天，我都要练习4-5个小时，我有时候真的很想放弃。但是我的努力得到了回报，因为我的决心和恒心，我以优异的成绩通过了考级。
