Experience Sharing of Studying in Western Australia University, Australia

The University of Western Australia is one of the top eight universities in Australia. When I received the admission notice of landscape design major in architecture department of this school, I looked forward to my future study abroad with great joy. But when I really entered the University of Western Australia, everything seemed to become a hydrogen balloon, drifting farther and farther in the sky. Wandering in despair at the door of the classroom

Environmental design is my first course after studying abroad. This course is in the studio, and it really tortures me.

On the first day of school, I lingered at the door of the classroom for a long time, afraid to go in. The reason is simple: there are some men and women in suits and ties sitting quietly in the classroom, which is completely different from the classroom I am familiar with. However, always wandering at the door is not the way. I crustily skin of head asked if this was the classroom I was looking for, and the answer was yes.

After introducing myself, I was horrified to find that my classmates are divided into six parts: those who study while working, those who have wives and children; Study after resignation; Graduated from high school, suspended from school for one year, and continued to study in university; After reading the relevant preparatory courses, continue to study this major; Just out of high school campus; The youngest part is two international students, one is me and the other is a big boy from Singapore. I should be the youngest student in this class. Even the big boys in Singapore are four years older than me. These men and women said to me: you are so young, what university are you going to attend? I looked around them in the classroom and thought in despair: should I drop out of school first and come back to school after I was 24?

The speech with oriental characteristics won bursts of applause.

The first homework left by the teacher is to draw three views of the desk every day to do homework. This assignment surprised my father who studied cartography 50 years ago. He said that in China, it is impossible for a person who has not systematically studied cartography for three months to draw such a map. When a dead horse is a living horse doctor, my father quickly gave me a bad knowledge of cartography. Later, I snapped up urgently needed drawing supplies at the stationery store, measured the size, first drew a table on paper at the ratio of 1 ratio 10, and then traced it on sulfuric acid paper with a drawing pen, and finally passed the exam. Look at the teacher's expression, as if I was born to draw this. He taught me nothing!

Next, we will select two abstract pictures provided by the professor and synthesize them with Photoshop software to make a picture like a city. This assignment makes me a layman without any professional knowledge at a loss. I fumbled all night and made a picture that I thought I could pass. However, in class, watching more than half of my classmates proudly describe their works, I was desperate. I don't know how to explain my childish picture.

This is the first time in my life that I walked off the platform in such a mess.

Since then, I have ushered in another task: transforming the model plane into a work. I thought of the bridge, so I tried to make a bridge that looked very modern and showed it to the professor with great joy. The professor lifted it vertically and proposed to build a bridge connecting the earth and the universe.

That night, I told myself I had to do this? Turn over? . I decided to tear down my own model and make a new one? Queqiao? Use the mysterious China culture that westerners don't know, but I know it like the back of my hand to shock them. I discussed this idea with my parents and friends, and everyone agreed. Finally, at 3 am, I finished the slides of the presentation. After a rest, I translated the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl into English. After confirming every exhibition link, I silently hope that these efforts will bring me a little confidence.

On the day of presentation in class, I was very nervous for fear that my homework would not be to the professor's taste. I stepped onto the platform with trepidation. The slide show began to play, the music sounded, and the students showed surprised expressions.

Under the setting sun, all kinds of flowers in the Forbidden City and Beijing slowly entered the twilight. Later, willow trees in spring, water lilies in summer, lotus leaves in autumn and cedar trees in winter led everyone into the elegant ancient buildings in Beijing. I began to tell the sad love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. In my production, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl hugged each other? Queqiao? At the meeting, applause sounded. Of all the speakers, I was the only one who got applause. Since then, as soon as the professor saw me, he introduced me to people around him? Queqiao speech? .

The professor said that we must learn to be fitters, carpenters and welders before graduation. Of the three courses I have just contacted, each one has challenges. The professor doesn't teach students any knowledge directly at all, and everything depends on the students' own exploration.

Grandparents, grandparents, parents on campus.

Australian universities inherited it? Never too old to learn? The principle of. I was very surprised when I first saw a 70-year-old grandfather holding a notebook and pen and wearing a hearing aid in class. According to classmates, the grandfather's hobby is learning, so he entered the university to learn more knowledge after retirement. On the university campus, you can see grandparents, mothers pushing strollers and fathers holding their daughters. Don't think they are here to pick up students, they are students.

My classmates who went to high school with me in Melbourne are now distributed in many universities in Australia. Everyone thinks that the life of studying abroad is completely different from what they imagined. They even have more homework than when they were in grade 12 (senior three). They have to fly in Daiyue every day, leaving early and returning late.

Maybe? Yanchu? It is a way for Australian universities to train students. When I was preparing to study in Australia, my parents said that studying abroad was also a gamble because of the differences in culture and values. Now that I'm in college, I seem to begin to understand? Gambling? Meaning of.
