CHONG, TING TING 11010127

實質上是二十天的語文夏令營完結了。終於有東西可以寫了。或者說，真的想要寫的，而非為寫而寫的。

要說得著，是有的。坦白說，雖然我很欣賞安排者的用心和我相信是善意的用意，但一系列的工作坊都不太有甚麼我所預期的實際作用， 反而是那些導師和助導讓我覺得超於期望。第一，有點膚淺，他們的聲線聽起來是舒服的。然後，他們皆是在溫和的性情（和認真的態度）中展露他們的見識、歷練和實力。而更多的收獲是，導師們的分享提供了一個小小的洞眼，讓我有機會窺空到社會的絕對真實：僱主不著眼那些你已達到的，卻會刁難或質問那些你做不到的種種；決定發薪給誰是別人的選擇，你的選擇只是妥協；唯有哲學碩士才是實質的碩士。這些都是我在這夏令營得到的，最寶貴的資產。

也許，也的確是，我太孤陋寡聞了。而更多的是，我缺乏足夠的社會經驗，且目光淺窄。總之，我驚訝，我詫異，我嚇壞了，我慌，我迷惘。其實，對這個語文夏令營，我從不抱甚麼希望，一開始只是覺得既然不得不參加，也只好妥協，畢竟可做的、該做的，不是都嘗試過爭取了嗎？。可是，突然的，一下子反差太大，衝擊太快。我沒有想過會得到的，學到的，明白到的，卻奇妙的向我靠近了。此刻，我猶有餘悸。

當然，另一得著是，我對身邊的人了解更多了。或許，就是要一小伙兒困在一個小空間裡一段時間，了解才會比較容易。又或者，我才會不怯於表達自己。

無論如何，開心的，不滿的，種種都已成過去。然而，我還是想要感謝各位在這個夏令營裡為我們付出過時間、心力、精神的導師、助導以及所有的工作人員，謝謝！也為我們的不認真、不守時、不聽話而道歉，再次謝謝老師們的包涵！

This week was a week of copyrighting and journalism.

For the first two days morning, I went to work as an assessment administrative assistant of TSA 2012 in Wong Tai Sin. Because of that, I missed the first two lessons of copyrighting,this made me feel sorry to Michele.  Therefore, I attended the third lesson with expectation, together with confusion.  Fortunately, the next three lessons were all speeches given by some guest speakers.  It made feel more relaxed.  And everything went smoothly.

For the afternoon lessons, which were journalism, I gained much useful and informative knowledge. Every lesson, we had two groups presenting two hot news issues. Nearly all the presenters were becoming more and more mature when giving their presentations. They spent much time on preparation and doing research. When they came to the stage, they held a paper on hands to ensure that everything ran smoothly. I did appreciate their effort. I hope that when it comes to our group, we can prepare well and do better than them. Not for competition, but for self-achievement.

By the way, I started to stay in the hostel with my secondary schoolmate, Alice. It was a brand new experience and I enjoyed the experience very much.

It seemed that everything went well and nearly perfect in week 2.

Regarding the Putonghua workshops, I felt most unforgettable and memorable.The activities required intensive cooperation within the team since everyone had his or her own role to play. We had built strong team spirits through the numberless practices and rehearsals. They really provided us with valuable opportunities to get close to each other and to know each other. I sincerely believe that we are the winners of this summer camp (not the competition) because we receive more than we sacrifice.

The talk held on Friday was quite relaxing ad meanwhile enrich my knowledge in the Putonghua test. I cannot 100% guarantee that I can meet the requirement, but at least I am not that frightened and afraid of the test. I find no reason to be scared by anything before you have fully prepared what you can prepare.

The first week of the language camp gave me more than expected, though it made me feel tired and annoyed more than expected too.

The  KFBG visit  and the series of the  Putonghua workshops provided me with a lot feelings, both positive and negative. The former made me want to scream due to the extremely hot weather . I enjoyed almost all of the programmes, talks and activities, but just felt annoyed with the high temperture. It would made happier and more willing to participate in if the temperture and the environment were more comfortable for us. The latter made me surprised because the tutors were nice and funny, and the activitives were maeningful and wonderful. Probably just because I love Putonghua as much as before so I enjoyed the workshops with exciting mood.

I hope the happiness can be more long-lasting so that I can really enjoy all the sections but not treat them as tasks or assessment.
