First day of my metamorphosisThe BBC has just released a documentary video on the comparison of education systems and teaching methodologies between China and Great Britain. Unfortunately and fortunately, I am immeasurably a mixed product of both. different systems. Between these two systems there are enormous contrasts in terms of emotion and rationality, innovation and diligence. There are a lot of changes in our life, that's why a positive mindset is necessary. “To live a good life, one must be tolerant, without complaint or explanation.” That's why Franz Kafka once said it. I grew up in Birmingham, Great Britain, uneventfully and peacefully. I still remember the question my English teacher asked us the first English class in my high school, which is a casual public school. “What is the significance of your studies?” » The final answer she gave us is “Recognize yourself, be yourself”. What a thoughtful and philosophical preposition! my fantasies ended when I was 13. Suddenly and unexpectedly, I returned to China and entered a world-famous high school, Heng Shui No.1 High School, which not only enjoys a reputation for college enrollment rates, but also for and mode of military management. My parents sent me to my room, then left. While the dean spoke to me, most of the rules were infringable and then went about his own business. Without a doubt, among more than 10,000 people, no one cared about me. Instead, they were methodically busy with thousands of complicated symbols and crabs. I had no idea how difficult it was to get into a decent university in China, I can't even understand the course content. You can imagine that I was like an innocent elf who got lost in Gulliver's travels and lived with a group of complex mons...... middle of paper ...... during At a class reunion, we were ordered to rush back to our dorms. There were 10 minutes left before bed, and most of the students took advantage of that time to call their families from out of town. They laughed, they cried, their feelings only came out in those 10 minutes. It was my first day in what we called the “jail.” I think readers can sense here how difficult and painful it is to adapt to a drastic environment, both linguistically and ideologically. However, my later story would be, in short, that I endured all that and reached the top 2000 in CEE. Finally, I was admitted to Beijing Normal University after 3 years of polishing. Thinking back to the good old days, I sincerely feel grateful and will always cherish the difficult memories.En109-Assignment1Winston (Hezhi Zhu)Student ID:20601160
