英語趣味營後記 蕭慧嫻 老師
我們於 三月六日 至八日 ( 星期五至日 ) 在東莞舉行了「英語趣味營 2009 」•整個團一共有三十一人參加，包括兩位家長及五位教職員。 The concept of this English Camp was learning English with fun. We intended to provide students with an authentic environment for the students to discuss and share their ideas about what they have learnt in English. 整個英語趣味營的中心思想是讓學生在愉快的還境中學習英語。我們打算提供學生一個真實的環境，讓學生共同討論及分享，及善用英語去表達意見。 The whole trip was run very smoothly without any incidents. On the contrary there were many surprises, positive ones! 整個旅程很順利，師生在趣味營中皆獲益良多。
About the 3-day English lessons:
2 nd day: Conduct real innterviews at GiNan University Campus. 3 rd day: Wise-buy in a supermarker. Students needed to spend money within a limited budget, say 60 dollars to buy food and drinks for 8 people and compete for awards like: the Best Financial Planning Award, the Best Cooperative Award, the Best Presentation Award. They needed to do their presentation and give rationale for what they had bought. 有關三天之英語課： 第一天：介紹自己及自訂訪問外國人的問卷。 第二天：到暨南大學校園內進行實地英語訪問。 第三天：至抵精明眼 - 分組以 60 元的金額，到超市購買開大食會的食物，學生須為每個選擇作解說，從而角逐以下獎項：最佳理財大獎，最佳合作獎，最佳演說獎。 The English lessons were conducted in a very comfortable cozy classroom with full-carpeted, big cushions and kindergarten-like round tables. Students were very relaxed and enjoyed the experience. They had never been exposed to this kind of approach to learning. 學生能在一個很舒適寫意的班房進行英語課：滿鋪地氈，大座墊，幼稚園式的大圓桌。學生都很覺得輕鬆，愉快。 We had outings everyday. We went to GiNan University Campus in Guangchau to interview some English-speaking natives and have lunch in the Canteen with other university students. 我們每天都有出外參觀活動，我們去過廣州暨南大學會見那裏的外國大學生，亦曾與其他大學生一同吃午餐。 We had a robot-making course which some students thought was the most attractive program in this Camp. We went to a Science and Technology Museum was like being in the USA with those funny gadgets and machines which you never thought you would be found in Mainland China. For example, a 3A student Chan Wing Yan spent only 3 dollars to get a robot painter to do her own portrait in just 3 minutes. 我們有一個額外的機械人製作課程，有學生認為那個是英語營中最吸引的節目。我們因為科技博物館的收藏可媲美外國的博物館，有一些有趣的小機件及小玩意亦非常吸引：例如3A陳詠欣同學只用了三元，便可使用一個機械人畫家替他畫了一幅人像素描，過程只用了三分鐘。
最後，我們有時間去了 4D 電影院看了一場 4D 電影。學生皆非常興奮。 Most students found the learning programme very helpful and they really thought that learning English this way was fun. 大多數學生覺得這種學習課程很有用及有趣 ! |
We went to Dongguan from the 6 th March- 8 th March (Friday to Sunday) for an English course at the English Camp 2009. There were 31 participants including 2 parents and 5 teacher-staff. 
1 st day: Introduce themselves and design their own interview questions. 
Lastly, we had time to watch a 4D movie in a 4D cinema with many students, all the while, screaming with excitement.
