Winter Exploration 2014 Day 10

Spent the entire day completing a task. Getting my boat license. Yes, this morning I woke up, and Billy simply went :" oh and you're getting your boat license today." Ultimately I was stumped. Basically 7 hours of nothing but studying, face palming and head decking. But work eventually paid off, getting 88 percent correct as I finished my test, I squealed in happiness. Now, as tired as ever I cram my eyes open to type the remaining part of this blog. Challenge one after another, what's next? Bring it on.

     今天早上我观看了两部电影，一部是《当幸福来敲门》，还有一部是关于冰球的电影。首先我非常兴奋是因为虽然电影是英文语音和字幕的但是我基本都看懂了！然后这两部电影都非常有寓意。《当幸福来敲门》这部电影让我明白赢得美好生活需要百折不挠、战胜痛苦的精神。第二部电影则让我明白集体中的成员要为同一个目标奋斗，松松垮垮就会一事无成。下午讲了一些人与人之间的印象的课，可是我状态很差没听懂什么。

Winter Exploration 2014 Day 9

Well, today was the day I learnt how to keep my temptations away. As I've disabled my phone unintentionally for the entire day , I spent most of my time talking and communicating with others. (As my parents always say, entering the real world.) I woke up in the morning reading Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, and started my day with a hearty breakfast and a surprise visit from Calvin (whom had a haircut that really shocked me). Then we headed to the science museum and watched a movie about the human body ( and with no surprise, led me to deep sleep). I had a blast fiddling with the bits and bobs, the random buttons everywhere to make scientific demonstrations , and doing several strength tests to show you how your body works through kinaesthetic ways. (As a 13 year old, I feel the need to press every single button like a 8 year old.) Then ended the day with a long lasting hot pot. I'm looking forward to what's Insured for me next, my next challenge, or my next cleanup job. This is Tiffany Ng, in and out.

     今天我们主要游览了多伦多的科技博物馆。我非常喜欢里面的设施，因为它们包含了各个方面的知识，介绍也很详尽很巧妙。比如人体科学里面会有骨骼、营养的介绍 ，同时又有登山体能的介绍。在介绍经典物理的展馆里各种教具都比国内要精美。可惜我基本看不懂英文，很多东西就一知半解。我们也在科学馆里看了一部IMAX电影（原来IMAX是加拿大发明的），讲述了人体的构造。电影是全英的而且字母幕都没有，我看的非常头疼。但内容我还能大致理解。影片才一小时不够但涵盖了我一两本生物书的内容，非常神奇。而我在科学馆里注意到了很多学生，他们都拿着教案认真参观着。原来加拿大的学生每学期都要进行课外学习，到科学馆，艺术馆之类的地方参观.他们走出课室，接触更生动的课堂，和科学的氛围接触，肯定能学到比平时老师说教更多的东西。我才明白高素质的人是在高素质的氛围和课堂中培养起来的。
