[PHOTOS] Each Year a New Trip of a Lifetime 每年一次的终身难忘的新旅程

Yew Chung International School of Beijing Secondary students returned to classes this Monday, back in town after last week’s excursions as a part of the Experiencing China Programme. One of YCIS Beijing’s most important activities of the year, the Experiencing China Programme sends students on overnight trips throughout the country, with each year level visiting a different, carefully chosen city or region.

北京耀中国际学校中学生上周参加了体验中华的课程，本周回复正常上课。体验中华是北京耀中国际学校每年最重要的活动之一。这个课程会安排不同年级的学生到访中国不同的地方，进行3-5天的访学活动。到访的目的地都老师经过精心的挑选。

But there is much more to the trips than simply sightseeing. Activities are planned both to supplement students’ existing Chinese studies, but also to build teamwork and push students past their comfort zones – all in the effort to aid students in their social, emotional, and academic growth. 

访学活动并不仅仅是观光。老师会提前精心安排活动来补充学生目前的中国研习，增加团队合作能力，促进学生走出个人的舒适区，为的就是帮助学生在社交、情感和学业上齐头并进。

For an in-depth look at the programme, Secondary Chinese Coordinator Jessica Sun details why certain activities and locations were chosen, what benefits teachers hoped their students would gain, and even shares the story of a broken-down bus and an eight-hour hike to the top of Mount Tai!

为深入了解这一课程，我们采访了中学中文主管孙珊珊老师。她将和我们分享选择特定活动及地点的缘由，通过特定活动师生将获得的好处有哪些，并讲述旅途中巴士坏了之后的故事以及八小时远足到泰山山顶的故事。
