Learning @ BSC (Day 3, 03122008)

Yesterday, we went to school to attend our first lessons at Beijing Satellite Campus after our breakfast in the canteen there. There were hexagonal tables and comfortable chairs in our classroom with about 20 other Hwa Chong High boys. The nine of us sat around one table and the teacher for the first lesson was punctual. There were television, visualizer, projector, lockers, etc.




Our first lesson was Social & History lesson (社会与历史课). The lesson was not like any boring lessons in Singapore, instead, it was very interesting and the details of the lesson had managed to catch my attention. We even started copying notes in Chinese and we were busy copying when the teacher suddenly said that she would print us the powerpoint slides, but some of us continued to copy additional notes. Let's see how hardworking we were. haha.



As soon as we greeted the history teacher and packing her things, the next lesson's teacher came in. Some of us were rather shocked to see how punctual the teacher was because sometimes, some of the teachers in Nan Hua were late for lessons. Our second lesson was Chinese Literature (先秦文学课). As usual, we were interested in the lesson probably because it was the first time that most of us attend a Chinese Literature lesson.

You may think that Chinese Literature lesson is boring, but this lesson was the opposite. The teacher was very engaging and she let us listen to a Chinese oldie called 在水一方. The song was slow and beautiful, and the teacher made the song as background music while teaching for the rest of the lesson.

More pictures will be uploaded soon.
尽情期待!
