The next day, we headed over to Jianguo for our second day of immersion. We were all extremely excited and were looking forward for it, as we had enjoyed ourselves tremendously the day before. As we drove into the familiar school gates, we could see the smiling faces of the students, already waiting to welcome us into the school, we felt the rush of excitement as we immediately knew it would be another enjoyable day!
We were briefed shortly by a teacher and then headed to our respective classrooms. We were split into three classes, each class set to use different timetables, there was an Earth Science lesson, and the teacher was very nice. He taught us how to operate a telescope and how to use it. The lesson was in Chinese, so most of us did not understand the terms and did not really get the lesson. However, the enthusiasm of the teacher made the lesson really more interesting. There were also English lessons, and the students had a debate session showing the lawsuit between Frankenstein and the monster he created. Even though the students did not use English a lot, they tried their best and were very funny when they spoke. There was also a music lesson, in which we learnt a japanese song, and the teacher even got some of us to demonstrate in front of the entire class. Lastly, a few of us attented the maths lessons, which to our surprise, was easier that what we had expected. All of us also had a chance to attend the foreign language classes for either Japanese, German or French, it was extremely interesting as most of us had not ever attended such classes before.
ESLITE BOOKSTORE
At night, we went to the Eslite bookstore. We heard from the tour guide that it is very famous for the items being sold there, especially its books. When we arrived there, we saw that there were many books alright. But the Chinese books were written in traditional Chinese, and we, being Singaporeans, could only read and understand simplified Chinese, and not traditional Chinese. Therefore, the Chinese books there didn't really suit our taste. There were also English books, but there was a lack of them. There were also manga books, and both Chu Fei and Shi Wen really loved the wide variety of manga books there.
