China News Service, January 24. According to the "Overseas Chinese News of Japan" report, the long period of epidemic control has not only made Chinese students who are unable to enter Japan miserable, but also made Chinese students in Japan feel that their sense of gain in studying abroad has declined.
Studying abroad in a foreign country is not only for mastering the language and obtaining a diploma, but more importantly, it opens a door for life, where there is a world that has never been seen before, and a broader and diverse cultural understanding, which is the future life. Abundant thoughts on the road are the nutrients for developing thinking.
However, in order to cooperate with Japan, especially Tokyo's anti-epidemic measures, many Chinese students have not participated in local cultural activities for two years, and have not been able to go to cultural facilities such as art museums, museums, aquariums, etc. These are just a few years of studying abroad. a valuable part of it.
In order to alleviate the pain of homesickness for Chinese students who cannot return to China to visit relatives, and to improve everyone's sense of achievement in studying abroad.
Under the premise of taking strict precautions, Waseda Language College arranged a variety of extracurricular activities for Chinese students as the New Year and the Spring Festival approached.
Under the guidance of the teachers, Chinese students from Class 1 and Class 4 of the university visited the aquarium in Shinagawa, Tokyo.
Compared with various beautiful marine creatures and performances, the teachers were more amazed at the improvement of the daily conversation skills of the international students. Even when the teachers had trouble buying things from the vending machines, some international students could take the initiative to contact the staff in the aquarium. , to help resolve.
The teachers were very pleasantly surprised to see the international students growing independently outside the campus.
The second class of the university went to the Science Future Museum in Odaiba, Tokyo. They visited precious exhibits in the fields of space, electronics, medicine, etc., and learned about Japan's cutting-edge science, life science, technological innovation, information technology and other development achievements, and experienced Space and remote surgery, etc., all provide a reference for international students when choosing a major.
The third class of the university went to visit the Ueno Zoo, which is very popular all the year round.
Ueno Zoo currently has restrictions on admission, and coupled with the high popularity brought by China's giant panda cubs, it is rare for the school to successfully make an appointment to enter the park.
The graduate class of Waseda Language College was facing severe challenges for further studies, so after asking everyone's opinions, we collectively went to the Anhachimangu Shrine next to Waseda University to conduct a prayer activity. Not only did we have a close contact with Japanese traditional culture, but also a new experience. The good wishes in the year have enhanced the confidence in further studies.
Zhang Linxin, vice chairman of Waseda Language College, said that due to the epidemic, many large-scale extracurricular activities on a school scale were organized every year. The activities have imprinted precious memories of studying abroad. At the same time, we also look forward to organizing school-wide extracurricular activities again after the epidemic is stable in the future to satisfy the wishes of international students and improve everyone's sense of achievement in studying abroad.
