　　Describe an educational visit that you made when you were in school.

�

　　where you went

　　who you went with

　　what you did there

　　and explain what you learned on this trip.

�

　　When we visited Hong Kong during a winter holiday, my school teachers took us to the world famous Hong Kong Ocean Park. That was my first time to see so many live sea animals and got plenty of life experience not available on any of my textbooks.

�

　　The Ocean Park was very large indeed, and there was much to see inside. Nearly 3,000 fish of 280 breeds, in different colors and shapes were exhibited there. On the first floor, I was amazed by seeing such a big fish jar. As I took a closer look, I discovered really colorful fish inside, like a group of lovely little fairies. The fish were of all breeds, majority of them I could not name.

�

　　I told my teacher that I wanted to see dolphins and sea lions, as I heard sea lions and dolphins in the Ocean Park were very lovely. We were led to the Dolphin Study where dolphins show how they learn from human beings. Dolphins are lively creatures fond of making friends with people. They are the most intelligent undersea mammal. I really learned a lot that day. For example I learned that dolphins are good divers. They don&apost have gill, so they store much oxygen in their blood and muscle. The dolphins we saw were from one family; they stayed together all day long and would not separate, and accompanied each other all the time. I found that animals and human beings had so much in common.

�

　　That trip was fun and educational. From my personal experience, I believe field trips are essential in educating students in an all-around way.

　　Learning by Visiting Places

�

　　1. What do you think are the benits (advantages) of taking children to visit places where they can learn something?

�

　　School is not the only place to have education; textbook is not the only way to get to know this world. It’s always best to make children learn something while enjoying themselves in places outside school. Overall, it is lots of fun for the kids, who will be more relaxed - some kids stress out in the school atmosphere, where outside the school they may be more inclined to ask questions, show interest, emotion, etc.

�

　　2. What are some examples of places where parents could take their children for an &aposeducational visit&apos?

�

　　Many children nowadays are so ignorant of life around them, that they have no idea where fruit grows, where milk comes from. Fruit and Vegetable Planting Base would be a good choice to take children to.

�

　　Children raised up in cities are less exposed to nature. Farms, aquariums are good places for children to see/experience first hand. With tons of real objects and pictures, children may have a better understanding of local culture at museums.

�

　　Studying at Home

�

　　1. Do you think it&aposs possible for an adult to study at home, for example, for a degree? (Hint: internet)

�

　　It’s possible. Computer technology is amazing in turning things impossible into possible. In order to get a degree, traditionally, people have to go to school and finish several years of education. However, we can create open universities offering online courses. That way, more people would enjoy the right to be educated.

�

　　2. What are (or, what would be) the advantages from studying at home?

�

　　Studying at home has flexible time schedule. Working people cannot go to school in the day time, which is also their working time, but they can study at home at convenient time. It also would be cheaper. Studying at home would save some money paid for using classrooms. In addition, people can choose to learn what they are really interested in, sparing the trouble of being forced to learn.

�

　　3. Do you think more people will study at home in the future?

�

　　It depends on what kind of study you are talking about. For children, I don’t think home schooling is a good idea. Children should go to school. As for adults who wish to learn practical skills, like computer application, or even study for a degree, it would be a trend to study at home in the future with the rapid development of internet. People can get most of the information they need online.
