Week 1
I was impressed by the visit to SCMP . I have never been to newspapers office before . To be frank I 'm not really interested in journalism . I would rather write ariticles related to fashion or fine dining . I was shocked when I saw the mail office of SCMP , the construction of the rail transporting the newspapers was complicated . SCMP invested 1 billion on introducing this system so as to tidy up different parts of newspaper before sending pile of them to retailing or conveninence stores .
However , the lesson like translation or speech training workshop are a bit boring and routine . I'm not really keen on speech as I have participated speech festival since primary school .Thus I think I know how to perform.
Week 2
The most routine part of the summer camp . This week kept looping with translation workshops, drama and prose-reading . However , I did get many chances to pratise my Putonghua by virtue of the drama and prose-reading workshops. It 's a bit hurry for us to have performance when we have just taken few lessons, a bit stressed.
I had been looking forward to the Cathay Airline Field Trip . The trip was boring except we got some information about application for flight attendants . We were excited when we saw some pliots walking through .
In the past two weeks , this camp has explored some career field for us like translation and customer services. It is practical but I do expect more sharings from those professionals.
語文夏令營報告反思
語文夏令營報告反思
六月初夏，夏蟬嗚叫不絕，準備為大學第一年生活畫上不完滿的句號，怎料緊接下來為期四星期的語文夏令營才是這一年的延續，為大學第一年的夏天揭開序幕。
天空被漂染成海藍色，旭日被掛在我們的頭蓋兒上，為翠綠的大地塗上閃亮亮的金黃。同學們抱著踩到牛糞、被蚊子強吻的心理準備，步進嘉道理農場。看純真的梅花鹿，摸冷血的蟒蛇，還有各式各樣的爬蟲類兩棲類動物，都讓我們目不暇給，大自然孕育了不少生物，令自然界達至生物多樣性，令整個世界更為平衡。除了觀賞動物，園方介紹了不少植物，例給檸檬葉、薄荷葉等，可作花茶飲用，更讓我們親自採茶沖泡。我採了一棵檸檬葉，把它撕碎加入熱水，變成一杯「花茶」。事實上味道真的不怎麼樣，只是一杯帶有檸檬香氣的清水（甚至只是一杯熱水，在三十度高溫下喝熱水滋味真的不好受）。
園方還給我們上了一課類似全人教育的課，內容大概是如何令小孩子在課堂以外學東西之類的。另外一個環節是關於加工食品，導師播放了一段影片，指我們接觸 到的零食例如一些表面閃亮亮帶光澤的朱古力和糖果， 其實是用了一種化學噴劑；而這些噴劑是利用害蟲、毛髮等製成，引起我們對食品安全的關注。可是，沒有化學品，我們的生活會受到很大的影響。我認為這不是不去接觸加工物品的問題，而是如何安全地食用，或控制攝取的份量。
營中我們上了關於翻譯、戲劇和朗誦的課。翻譯課的確讓我了解到翻譯有好幾種方法，但事實上要同學在短短時間像速成班般翻譯新聞或篇章，難度太高了。雖然唸語文和翻譯是有很大關係，但翻譯不只是對文字的了解，而是整篇文章詮釋，更要講求用字準備度及文法。要求同學在幾堂課學會這些，太理想化了。
至於朗誦和戲劇，我很欣賞卓老師和蔣老師的認真和嚴謹。兩位老師很努力傳授發聲、動作、表情等技巧。蔣老師非常注重一齣舞台劇中的所有細節，例如演員的表情，肢體動作、唸對白的語氣和走位，甚至我這些無關痛癢的跑龍套，也有嚴謹要求。雖然兩種活動的參與度並不高，但兩位老師的教學態度，非常值得欣賞和嘉許。
另一個參觀活動值得一提的是去南華早報總部，南華早報的員工特意邀請一些編輯和我們分享工作的感受，還有印刷部的主管帶我們參觀印刷廠，我們更有幸見到大型印刷機啟動和運作，見到運輸帶夾起一份份滾燙的報章到儲存室存放。主管提到南華早報的理念時，說到不只是購買報章的讀者是他們的客人，而是售賣的報販也是他們的客人，故他們願意投資幾億在儲存室的機器上，目的是把不同版的報紙夾好，完整一份的報章送到報販手上。這份理念實在令人感動，亦象徵這個報館對社會的關懷。
第三個星期開始上關於廣告製作和新聞傳播的課。在廣告製作課中，我發現自己是很喜歡這方面的工作，不是去設計廣告橋段、口號那些，而是海報製作、平面設計方面的。很可惜我不是唸設計或媒體創作之類，只是有做平面設計的經驗；慶幸部分講者給我一些指導，建議我去唸一些關於設計的高級文憑課程，說不定也能闖出未來。至於新聞傳播的課，是云云課程中最認真的一課。導師要求我們就指定的題材去製造一篇報導。我組是選了食物添加劑這題材，以三聚氰鞍和塑化劑作例，剖析兩種化學物的影響。導師要求加入訪問環節在報導中，還好我真的認識在醫院做醫療化驗師的朋友，加強我組報導的真確性和說服力。製作新聞頭腦要清醒，思路要清晰，內容要有焦點，還要引人入勝，在短短時間內製作一篇報導，的確是份苦差。繳交功課的前一晚我花上五個小時去排版，雖然習慣了熬夜，恐怕將來也不會從事新聞傳播了。
六月三十日，大學第一年的生活終於可以畫上句號了。雖然不少同學還在高呼「還我六月暑假」，也有不少投訴、不滿的聲音，但這個夏令營已經比我想像中好一點。部分課程和參觀的確言過其實、貨不對辦，總好比在夏令營初步計劃去什麼露營好得多。期望來年一年級新生的夏令營會比我們的更有意義，計劃更完善。
Week 3
A fruitful week but an exhausting week .
We had a performance on 18th June in the morning . Actually I didn't get much inspiration through both speech and drama workshops as I was not playing a very important role in drama . However , I dis gratitude teachers of prose-reading and drama workshops. They did pay strenuous effort on teaching us how to act in such a better way .
We had 2 new workshops in this week . The copywriting workshop was interesting and impressive , especially the guest speakers on friday , who is a manager from publishing company. He gave detailed information about publishing like what qualities should employees have and what can we prepare for this career . I found that I'm not that keen on doing editing or proofreading . Instead, I would like to do typesetting and designing as I know how to use photoshop . Unfortunately , he told me that those who do typesetting and designing must be a design or media degree holder rather than a language degree holder . I was frustrated at first but I would start to look for some course whether I can take so as to have a similar qualification of it . Doubtless , inviting guest speakers to share with students explore the insight of us .
Another workshop is abot journalism . It's a bit professional and stressful probably by virtue of the assignment . We are asked to compose a news by ourselves in which having interviews with different people is needed. We have to look for multitude of information and these information must be accurate ,reliable and convincing . It's harsh but it's a good try.
4th week is coming . Hope it goes well and ends soon.
