深圳楓葉高中學(xué)生參加在香港舉辦的Tedx演講

在上個周末，深圳楓葉學(xué)校在Mr. Marshall的幫助下，為學(xué)生組織了一場香港旅行，十二個學(xué)生由三名老師（Mr.Borthistle, Ms.Borthistle, and Mr.Opaleye）帶隊共同度過了一個忙碌的周末。

九點從學(xué)校出發(fā)，在一個小時的車程后隊伍到達(dá)了通行關(guān)口，同學(xué)在Mrs.Borthistle的帶領(lǐng)下來到了香港，Mr. Marshall順利接到了學(xué)生們。因為時間問題，在將近兩個小時的地鐵之后同學(xué)們直接到達(dá)了Tedx Talk的演講現(xiàn)場。

We started from the school at 9 o 'clock, and after an hour's drive, the team reached the border check point. After the students arrived in Hong Kong under the guidance of Mrs.Borthistle, Mr. Marshall successfully received the students. Because of the time delay, students directly arrived at the Tedx Talk after nearly two hours of riding on the subway!

此次Tedx Talk的主題是Looking Forward，演講期間，有很多精彩的故事：怎樣堅持自己的喜歡 -- 紋身師分享，怎樣永不言棄 -- 運動員分享。同時還有引人深思的哲理：時代在發(fā)展，觀念在更新，我們要不斷地向前看，一切皆有可能;Yes，No，Maybe,人生總是面臨這樣的選擇，沒有簡單的解決方案;生活總是讓你在大眾和小眾觀點中做出選擇，這在許多時候要求我們學(xué)會批判性思考。

The theme of the Tedx Talk was Looking Forward, during which there were many wonderful stories: How to stick to your favorite passion from a professional Tattoo artist, how never to give up by a Special Olympics athlete. At the same time, there were also a thought-provoking idea: the times are developing, common ideas are changing, we must be constantly looking forward, and everything is possible. There are no easy solutions and there are different answers like Yes, No, and Maybe. Life always presents choices between popular and less popular choices, with many options which require us to learn to think critically.

會議結(jié)束后，Mr. Marshall為學(xué)生們準(zhǔn)備了一個特別的晚餐，請到了一些非常有智慧的人為學(xué)生們解答一些人生或是大學(xué)上遇到的一些困難。這個討論會很成功，許多同學(xué)都了解了更多他們感興趣或是不知道的東西，一些同學(xué)的問題也得到了解答。

After the meeting, Mr. Marshall prepared a special dinner for the students, inviting some very intelligent people to answer some questions about their life or problems in college. The seminar was very successful. Many students learned more about what they were interested in or didn't know. Some students' questions were answered.

晚飯后一些學(xué)生選擇留宿香港，另外的同學(xué)則回到了深圳。在周日上午短暫的自由活動后，下午6位留在香港的同學(xué)們參加了一場楓葉招生會，他們和大家一起接待來訪者，并且和到訪的學(xué)生及家長分享他們的在校經(jīng)歷。

After dinner, some students chose to stay the night in Hong Kong, while others went back to Shenzhen. After a short free break on Sunday morning, the six students who stayed in Hong Kong attended a Maple Leaf Information session in the afternoon. The students helped with greeting the visitors, meeting the students and talked with parents about their life at the school.

踏著夕陽的光輝，同學(xué)們回到了深圳。相信本次香港之行為學(xué)生們打開了一扇通往新世界的大門，并給他們留下了很多寶貴的記憶。

At dusk, the students returned to Shenzhen. We believe this trip to Hong Kong has opened a new door of a new world for students, and which has created many special memories.
