第三篇：VYLC@上海外国语大学附属外国语学校
上外附中是首次接待VYLC项目的师生们，凭着丰富的接待国际学生的经验，在很短的时间内参与进来，圆满完成任务。在上外附中就读的维州学生分别来自Alkira Secondary School（艾克依拉中学）,Box Hill High School（博士山中学）和Kurnai College（科耐中学）。上外附中的特色就是校园活动丰富，中国小伙伴语言水平高，中文课程特别有意思。下面我们将从校园生活、家庭访问日，外出游览等几个方面从维州学生的角度来共同分享他们的收获和喜悦。
校园生活（School Life）
中文课，文化课以及校园活动组成了丰富的校园生活。周一至周五维州学生的大部分时间在校园里度过，如何让他们感觉有意思，不无聊，上外附中的老师们用心良苦。好在上外附中国际部课程丰富，也很有特色。一起来听听来自Alkira Secondary School（艾克依拉中学）的Aurora如是说：
During our first 2 weeks at Shanghai Foreign Language School we were able to participate in many fun activities. One of those activities was constructing some of the many landmarks here in Shanghai out of lego, such as the Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai World Financial Centre etc. As well as learning about the structure of the building we also learnt some of the background and how they implemented some of the Chinese culture in the shapes, colours and structural style. This was a great, fun experience that really helped us understand more about Shanghai and Chinese culture and architecture.
（译文：在上外附中度过的前两周里，我们参与了很多有趣的活动。我们用乐高搭建了很多上海的地标性建筑，例如：东方明珠，上海环球金融中心等。除了了解到这些建筑的结构，我们还学习到了这些建筑的背景，以及它们的形状、颜色和结构风格承载了怎样的中国文化。这是一次美妙而有趣的经历，帮助我们了解到更多关于上海和中国的文化和建筑知识。）

小伙伴（Buddy）与家庭访问日（Family Visit）
与中国小伙伴结对，去小伙伴的家里做客一直以来是维州学生最喜爱的。有机会与同龄人交流，了解彼此的学习、生活和家庭，不仅对于维州学生，对于中国学生而言都充满好奇和乐趣。语言在他们之间不是问题，你会说点中文，我会说点英文，其他的就是心灵相通了。所以在这期间建立起来的友谊总能长久，因为我们在彼此国家又多了一个家。下面是来自Box Hill中学的Ari同学写下的一段感言：
On Saturday the VYLC students got picked up by their buddies and were taken around Shanghai doing various fun activities. What made it so amazing is that I felt like I had been adopted into another family. My buddy's mum referred me to her friends as '哥哥', which means 'older brother' in Mandarin.
It was also a lot of fun to get out of the school and go and try new foods and meet my buddy's family.
When we went to lunch I tried 'cow stomach' for the first time! I also learnt a lot about what it's like to be a student at a school in China. My buddy was telling me that he got a lot of homework! It was a fantastic experience and definitely a highlight of my stay in China.
（译文：周六，上海的小伙伴们接待了我们VYLC的同学们，并一同参与了各种有趣的活动。我感觉好像被另一个家庭收养了，这可真神奇。我小伙伴的妈妈把我介绍给她的朋友们，称呼我为“哥哥”，在普通话里就是年长一点的孩子的意思。
走出校园，去尝尝新鲜的食物，见见小伙伴的家人，乐趣十足。
午餐时，我第一次尝了“牛肚”！我也体会了在中国做学生的感觉。我的小伙伴告诉我，他有很多家庭作业要做！这是我在中国体验到的一次绝妙的经历。）
（和小伙伴在一起最开心了！）

外出游览（Excursions）
除了课堂学习，校园活动，外出游览也是维州师生最兴奋的活动之一。可以走出校园，了解上海；接触社会，练习中文。来自Kurnai College（科耐中学）的Adam说：
The table tennis museum in China was very interesting – learning about all the Olympic winners of table tennis and the long history of ping pong, the origins of how ping pong was developed, how people used to play it and how it became a causal but also a competitive sport. The reason why they took us to the table tennis museum was because it’s one of the main Chinese sports that many people do as a hobby, sport and a competitive game.
（译文：中国的乒乓球博物馆非常有意思，我们了解了所有奥运会乒乓球冠军的故事，乒乓球的悠久历史以及它是如何发展起来的，人们是怎么玩的，又如何成为了一项既休闲又富有竞技性的运动。为什么我们要去乒乓球博物馆？因为乒乓球是中国人最主要的运动之一，很多人把它当成一种业余爱好，一项运动和竞技游戏。）

下面是另一篇来自Kurnai College（科耐中学）Amec同学的感言：
Zhujiajiao Water Town is also known as the Venice of the orient. This place was beautiful, crowded but very peaceful. This is definitely a place to remember. It made us try weird but surprisingly good food, cultural activities and games.
I personally loved it and I would want to go back there. We had so much fun. We laughed until we cried and even dressed up – this was one of the best highlights of Shanghai, if not the best. We also went on a ride in a Chinese Gondola.
It was a really nice and sunny day to do this and none of the teachers or students regretted the things that we made them do such as us five girls going and doing a photo shoot in traditional Chinese clothing. We also dragged the teachers into doing it and we know that they enjoyed that too. This trip so far has been amazing and I know there will be more places in our adventures in China.
（译文：朱家角又名东方威尼斯。这个地方既漂亮，又拥挤，但很安静。这真的是一个值得被我们记住的地方。它让我们尝试了奇怪但令人惊叹的美食，文化活动和游戏。
我很喜欢它，甚至想要再次回到那里。我们玩得很开心，笑到哭，还打扮自己。这也是上海最精彩的亮点之一。我们还乘坐了中国的刚朵拉车。
那是个阳光明媚的日子，老师和我们都不后悔我们的经历，比如我们五个女孩，穿着中国传统服装拍照，我们还拖着老师们去拍，我们知道他们也很喜欢。到目前为止，这是一次非常棒的旅行，我知道中国还有更多的地方值得我们去探索。）

编者按：至此，三篇VYLC@上海的回顾结束了，维州的同学们也已经回到澳洲，回到他们熟悉的家开启他们的平常生活。但是在上海的这段经历注定是不平凡的，这将影响他们的一生。未来澳洲的青年领袖们，希望你们回国后能继续学习中文，继续与你们的“小伙伴”们联络，继续关注中国关注上海。上海是一个海纳百川的国际大都市，我们欢迎更多的留学生来到上海学习、工作、生活，上海是你们的第二个家。
