1 致意 / Greetings 作者 : 卫丽姿 Elizabeth Witcher 亲爱的学员 : 老师们同学们, 大家好这是我们的第一期新闻简报每两个星期我们 CLS 项目的学生会和一个浙江工业大学的老师做一篇新的新闻简报我们想报道这两个星期我们做了什么, 发现了什么, 学到了什么等等这是我们第一篇新闻简报, 会给大家介绍我们的项目生活和课堂两个星期前我们来到浙江工业大学那时候我们都很累, 带着两个大大的熊猫眼, 所以很快就去房间睡觉了第一个星期我们一边探索, 一边上课我们很快发现了我们的校园并没有在市中心, 而是在郊外我们住的地方叫小和山, 从这到市区要坐一个多小时的公交, 打车也要四十多分钟一开始我们都觉得这里特别不好, 因为出去玩儿很不方便, 而且本地人很少, 大多数是学生, 所以我们没有机会跟本地人交流可是随着接触的增多, 我们越来越喜欢小和山校区, 这里的人都很热情, 特别是我们的老师和语伴我们真的很忙周一到周五每天有四个小时的课, 然后下午再和语伴一起学习一个小时因为这是我们在的头两个星期, 还在适应阶段, 所以我们都觉得有点儿累, 但是每天都能够比昨天进步一点, 有时候还会在周末一起出去探索市中心和学校附近的地方最后我想说在我们到的第一天我们美国同学和中国对外汉语语伴都去了一个开幕式在那里简小滨教授提醒我们美国同学, 我们的言行举止都代表美国, 我们可以给中国人很好的印象, 或者不好的印象, 同样的也提醒了中国学生大部分美国学生已经和他们的语伴成为了朋友, 我觉得这是一个好现象所以我也想再提醒我的同学们 : 我们既然来中国学中文, 就要把握机会去更多的认识中国中国人中国文化两个星期已经过去, 还剩六个星期, 加油! Hello fellow students and teachers. This is our first newsletter. Every two weeks the students of the CLS program, along with a teacher from the Zhejiang University of Technology, will put together a newsletter to report on the things students do, discover and learn while living in Hangzhou. Because this is our first newsletter, other articles will give an introduction on the program, lifestyle, and classes we will experience this summer. Two weeks ago, we arrived at Zhejiang University of Technology. We were all very tired, and probably had bags under our eyes. Due to this, we all quickly went to our rooms and fell asleep. For the rest of that week we explored and took part in our first classes. During this time we quickly discovered that our campus was not only very far from Hangzhou s city center, but instead next to the mountains. In fact, the name of the region we live in is Xiaohe Mountain. To paint a more full picture, taking a bus to the city center takes more than an hour and a half, while taking a cab takes around forty minutes. At first we all thought that this was very bad. We thought that going out to have fun and explore the city would be difficult, and even more so practicing our Chinese with local people would also prove nearly impossible. But as time passed, we all have grown to like the campus. This is largely due to the fact that the people here are all very welcoming, especially our teachers and tutors.

2 We are all very busy. We have class every Monday to Friday for four hours a day. After class we meet with a personal tutor for at least an hour. Because these were our first and second weeks in Hangzhou, we were all very tired. Each day, however, we grow less tired. In fact, most students travel away from campus on the weekends to explore Hangzhou s city center and other surrounding areas. The last thing I want to say regards the first day we arrived in Hangzhou. All American students and Chinese tutors attended an opening ceremony. At this opening ceremony Professor Jian spoke to remind us that as Americans we represent the United States in everything we do and say. It is up to us to leave a good or bad impression on the Chinese people we encounter. He reminded the Chinese students of a similar thing. I think that this is true. Most of the American students have already made friends with their tutors, as well as other student tutors. I think this is very good. So I would once again like to remind my peers: We first came to China to study Chinese, but we have also been handed a rare opportunity to truly learn about China, Chinese people, and Chinese culture. We have already been in Hangzhou for two weeks, we only have six weeks left. Continue to do good things.

3 学给出的分数是 8 分, 他们认为宿舍的服务不是特别好比如在罗泰看来, 宿舍提供的毛巾和卫生纸更换不及时另外, 有一些规定有点不合理, 比如门禁时间太早, 限制了我们的自由我自己觉得可以打 8 分, 因为这个宿舍比我在北京的时候住的好多了以下是几个学生的点评 : 我爱我们的空调! (8 分 ) 王洛我房间里的 wifi 信号非常好! (9 分 ) 夏戴宁除了房间有很多蚊子以外, 寝室很棒! (8 分 ) 周理奇比较好, 可是五楼的网络有时有问题 (8.5 分 ) 柯路远宿舍很好, 只希望可以有两张桌子 (9 分 ) 麦珂兰 On Saturday night, June 14th, we reached Zhejiang University of Technology. Many Zhejiang students helped us carry our luggage to our new rooms on the 3rd and 4th floors. Every day we take Chinese courses including reading, composition, spoken application, and spoken development. In addition, students meet with their language partners after class each day. Besides studying, other activities on campus include working out at the gym, reading books in the library, going to the market, trying new food at the street vendors, and eating in the cafeteria. According to the students, from a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being the worst dorm to 10 being the best dorm) most student ranked it at 8. Most students think that the dormitory services were not to their liking because they didn't provide enough toilet paper or frequently change the towels. The dormitory locks its door at 10:30 PM causing inconvenience to the students preventing them to go out at night or come back later in the night. However, I ranked it at 8 because compared to my dorm in Beijing, this dorm was much better. Below are student s comments: I love the air conditioning! (8/10) Sana Vang My room has great wifi. (9/10) Daniel Shats Other than the mosquitoes, the rooms are great. (8/10) Nikita Zolotykh Very good, but the fifth floor's internet is not as great. (8.5/10) Lucas Kanter Dorms are great but I just wish we had two desks.

6 语伴 / Language Partners 作者 : 杜苏心 Tamsin True-Alcala 我今天要给你们介绍一下我们项目的语伴这些人是谁? 他们都是浙江工业大学大三的学生, 而且都是学习国际汉语教育 ( 对外汉语 ) 的, 他们都有教学经验, 并且乐意帮助我们而且我以前问了我的语伴, 她为什么决定当语伴, 她说了几个原因, 包括获得跟她专业有关的经验满足浙江工业大学的实习要求跟外国人交朋友等等语伴到底是做什么的呢? 他们主要是帮助我们完成我们的功课他们每天最少花一个小时来回答我们美国学生的问题但是不只是关于作业的问题 ( 虽然那一定是一个很重要的部分 )- - 他们也会帮我们练习中文和回答关于中国文化的问题我特别喜欢用我们课文中涉及的文章话题来展开讨论中美文化的差别我觉得跟一个中国人聊天比只读课文好, 因为跟语伴聊天儿是个很好的方法来更深地了解中国现代文化虽然我们现在在只过了两个星期, 但我已经发现如果没有语伴的话, 我们的学习会比较困难, 而且我们的生活会比较没意思谢谢语伴们! I d like to briefly introduce you all to our language partners. So, who are these language partners? They are all third year students at Zhejiang uniweisity of Technology, and they are all International Chinese Education majors, so by helping us they also gain valuable experience. Earlier I asked my language partner why she decided to become a language partner, she said that there were many reasons. These reasons included gaining experience relevant to her major, satisfying Zhejiang Institute s internship requirement, and making friends from other countries. So, what exactly do these language partners do? They help us with our homework, spending at least an hour every day answering our questions. These questions are not necessarily just homework-related questions (although that is an important part) they also help us practice our Chinese and answer our questions about Chinese culture. I especially enjoy using our textbook s articles as a jumping-off point to discuss differences between American and Chinese cultures. I think that chatting with our language partners is more valuable than just reading the textbook, because by chatting with our language partners we can gain a deeper understanding of current Chinese culture. Although we ve only been in Hangzhou for two weeks, I have already realized that if we didn t have our language partners, not only would our studies be much more difficult, our lives in China would also be less interesting. Thank you language partners! 学生食堂 / Student Dining 作者 : 段昆 Cole Delbyck 食堂是我们生活中一个很重要的地方因为所有的学生都喜欢吃中国菜, 所以我们每天都会在食堂吃饭浙江工业大学有两个食堂, 对学生来说, 家和食堂是最受欢迎的, 因为它离宿舍最近家和食堂一共

有三楼, 可是学生通常在三楼吃饭因为三楼的选择比较多下课以后学同学们会和中国语伴一起去食堂吃饭, 有的时候老师也会和我们一起食堂有很多不同的窗口你可以在食堂里吃川菜, 麻辣烫, 饺子, 咖喱饭, 等等食堂是一个很好的练习中文的地方, 因为学生可以跟服务员聊天, 顺便复习当天学的语法和生词服务员都很耐心还会帮助学生点菜, 推荐最好吃的东西另外, 有的学生常常去外面吃饭

Zhejiang University of Technology has two cafeterias. According to the students, jia he cafeteria is the most popular because it is the closest to the dormitories. Jia he cafeteria has three floors, but we most often eat on the third floor because there are more options. After class students and their Chinese language partners eat together in the cafeteria. Sometimes the teachers and the students also eat together. The cafeteria has many different stations. In the cafeteria, you can eat Sichuan cuisine, malatang, dumplings, and curry, and many other things. The cafeteria is a great place to practice Chinese because students can review the day s grammar and new vocabulary. The cafeteria staff is very patient and helps students order food and recommends the best things to eat. In addition, some students go off campus to eat. The university s neighborhood has many different kinds of snacks. Chinese students often accompany American students to Food Stall Street. This street is a Chinese specialty. Although the cafeteria is cleaner, Food Stall Street s environment and food is much more interesting. This area has many delicious things to eat like thick Chinese noodles, milk tea, tofu, barbeque, and many other things. Every week students are required to observe Chinese people s lifestyle. Food Stall Street is the most convenient place to see complete this assignment because students can not only eat very delicious Chinese food, but also watch how Chinese people interact with one another. No matter whether you choose to eat in the cafeteria or on Food Stall Street both are very interesting places.

虽然有各种各样的有意思的活动和好玩的地方, 但是我们不能忘了我们来这里的主要目的 : 学习中文课外经历固然能帮助我们更好地学习汉语, 但是课堂的学习也很重要所以, 我们每天有四个小时在课堂里学习生词, 背诵, 也讨论西方文化对中国文化的影响每天早上八点到十点是读写课, 这门课不仅让我们有机会看中国报纸上的文章, 而且还要求我们写短文章表明我们看完的感受然后, 我们上听说课,

Extracurricular activities undoubtedly help us in our study, but classroom work is also very important. Thus, every day we spend four hours in class studying new words, memorizing conversations, and discussing the Western influence on Chinese culture. Every morning from 8 to 10 is spent in Reading and Writing Class, which not only gives us the opportunity to read Chinese newspaper articles, but also has us write short essays in response. Afterwards, we attend Listening and Speaking Class, which lets us practice our newly learned words and grammar structures. Finally, we practice short dialogues together, which help us use Chinese in preparation for real life conversations. These classes together not only help us learn this summer s material, but also improve our Chinese and give us a chance at working and developing in China. 瞻望 / Looking Forward 作者 : 吴冷杰 Benjamin Wollam 我们同学们刚刚开始教我们的语伴英文, 互相教育是文化交流很重要的一部分我们留学生很喜欢每个星期给中国朋友介绍美国文化除了教英文以外同学们都很好奇浙江工业大学暑假期间有什么安排这周末我们跟语伴们一起去了塘栖古镇和良渚文化博物馆接下来, 我们还要去宋城看古装大戏爬黄山拜访中国家庭, 这可能会很有意思! CLS 分院的学生很快就会有不少来劲的事儿! We students have just begun teaching our language partners English. Returning the favor to them through mutual teaching and learning is one of the most important aspects of cross-cultural exchange and we relish this

9 opportunity to demonstrate more about American culture to our Chinese friends. In addition to teaching English, we are also very curious to see what summer break at Zhejiang University of Technology has to offer. This weekend our cultural outing consisted of a day trip to Tangqi Ancient Town and Liangzhu Culture Museum. Additionally, we will soon be paying visits to Song City, Mount Huang and nearby Chinese households. We cannot wait to attend these interesting activities! The CLS Hangzhou students certainly have a multitude of exciting opportunities ahead of us! 2014 年 6 月 29 日
