感谢师恩齐鲁月——与Mahdi的第一次约会

　　国际部

　　每个学校的发展和建设都离不开学校老师的努力。对于章丘双语学校高中国际部来说，我们要尤为感谢身处异国他乡的外教老师们。他们兢兢业业地为学部、为学生贡献着自己的光和热。为感谢外教老师们对章丘双语学校国际部成长的帮助，加深外教老师与学生们之间的情谊，学部开展了学生带外教老师游济南的活动。本次活动可以让外教老师们更深入地了解中国传统文化，感受中国家庭氛围，加深与学生之间的感情。

　　学生为外教老师围绕每月主题设计的一日游体验。本月主题为“齐鲁月”，学生要带领外教老师深度体验齐鲁文化，学生提前一周就策划行程时间和路线，和外教老师沟通，修改确定方案。接下来我们回顾一下学生们带领外教老师们到底去了哪里吧?
 

　　与Mahdi的第一次约会

　　First date with Mahdi

　　与Mahdi约会的前一天，与负责老师们紧急沟通。

　　The day before our appointment with Mahdi, we double-check with the teachers in charge.

　　周六上午，我们怀着期待又激动的心情，焦急兴奋紧张的等待着Mahdi的到来。我们已经迫不及待了!

　　On Saturday morning, we waited for Mahdi with anticipation and excitement. We can't wait!

　　山东省博物馆大厅，我们做出了Mahdi教给我们的手势，与Madia拍了一天中的第一张合照。望着宽阔的大厅，欣赏着山东省博物馆的建筑特色以及布局，令我们兴奋至极。

　　In the hall of the shandong provincial museum, we made the gestures Mahdi taught us and took the first photo of the day with Mahdi. Looking at the broad hall and enjoying the architectural features and layout of the shandong museum, we were extremely excited.
 

　　中午，我们来到了恒隆广场的沙拉花园。带领Mahdi品尝了贝果，牛油果沙拉，意面等。Mahdi觉得非常好吃，还为我们展示了自己在家做的饭。并且Mahdi还教给我们饭前的祝福法语。

　　At noon, we came to Heng Long square salad garden. We invited Mahdi to taste bagels, avocado salad, pasta, etc. Mahdi thought that it was delicious and showed us his home-cooked meal. And Mahdi taught us French for blessing before meals.
 

　　饭后，我们终于来到了古色古香的芙蓉小吃街。在这里，我们与Mahdi拍了第二张合照。Mahdi很喜欢这里的建筑，我们为他介绍了很多有关芙蓉街的特色小吃以及有趣的小故事。在这里，Mahdi第一次品尝了中国小吃“臭豆腐”，当他吃下第一口时，我们满怀期待的望着他，注意他的神情变化，他竟伸出大拇指，说了一句“Perfect”!

　　After dinner, we finally came to the antique lotus snack street. Here, we took the second photo with Mahdi. Mahdi loved the architecture, and we told him about some of the street's specialties and interesting stories. Here, Mahdi had his first taste of the famous Chinese snack "stinky tofu". When Mahdi took his first bite, we looked at him with great anticipation.
 

　　穿过人山人海的芙蓉小吃街，映入眼帘的是充满中国气息的是大明湖拱门。我们在这里拍了第三张合照。首先我们围绕湖边欣赏大明湖畔的美景。紧接着，我们师徒四人租船划到了大明湖中央，将船熄火后，我们一起闲情雅致的畅谈理想，展望未来。

　　Through the Fu Rong snack street, you will see the arch of Da Ming lake full of Chinese flavor. We took our third photo here. First we enjoyed the beautiful scenery around the lake. Then we rented a boat and rowed to the middle of Da Ming lake. After the boat was turned off, we talked about our future plan and looked forward to the future.
 

　　下船后，Mahdi找到健身器材后展现了自己的绝技，旁边的爷爷奶奶都看呆了。之后我们围绕着大明湖闲聊着各自的爱好。我们了解到Mahdi喜欢健身，他在过去参加了三铁项目的比赛，下一秒就扛起了Eason快速的奔跑起来，旁边的叔叔阿姨都吓到了。

　　After getting off the boat, Mahdi found some exercise equipment and showed his amazing skills. Then we chatted about our hobbies around Da Ming lake. We know that Mahdi loves to work out. He competed in the tri-iron events in the past and the next second he was running fast with Eason on his shoulders.
 

　　较后，我们历经千辛万苦帮Mahdi叫了一辆出租车，将Mahdi安全的送到了学校。

　　In the end, we called a taxi for Mahdi and sent him back to school.

　　今天跟Mahdi也交流了很多，虽然有时候在语言方面还有些障碍，介绍一些济南的特色小吃或者介绍山东省博物馆里的一些展品需要翻译软件查词 ，对口语和词汇量方面是一个非常大的考验，但也得到了很大的提升，所以总体来说今天和Mahdi的约会是很开心的。

　　We talked with Mahdi a lot today, although sometimes there are some obstacles in language. While introducing some special food in Jinan or introducing of the museum of Shan Dong province, we used phone to search for words. It is a big challenge for our spoken English and vocabulary. We gained a lot in this trip. It is a unforgettable memory for both of us.

　　活动结束之后，学生们依然意犹未尽，和外教的沟通中学生们不仅提高了口语应用能力，同时此次的策划更是让学生们学习到活动的全局性、组织性。外教老师对于学生也是赞不绝口，此次活动增加了彼此的了解，也带动了学生对于英语学习的动力。
