The first day of my metamorphosis The BBC has just released a video documentary on the comparison of educational systems and teaching methodologies between China and Great Britain. Unfortunately and fortunately, I am a mixed product of the two immeasurably different systems. Between these two systems, there are huge contrasts in terms of emotion and rationality, innovation and diligence. There are many changes in our life, that's why a positive mindset is needed. "To live a good life, one must be tolerant, without complaints or explanations." That's why Franz Kafka once said it. I grew up in Birmingham, Great Britain, uneventfully and peacefully. I still remember the question my English teacher asked us in the first English lesson in my secondary school, which is a relaxed public school. 'What is the meaning of your study?' The final answer he gave us is “Recognize yourself, be yourself." What a thoughtful and philosophical preposition lesson! However, these fantasies stopped when I was 13 years old. Suddenly and unexpectedly, I returned to China and entered a world-famous high school, Heng Shui No.1 High School, which not only enjoys a reputation for college enrollment rate, but also for tough management mode. and military. My parents sent me to my room, then left. While the principal talked to me, mostly about the unbreakable rules, and then went about his business. Without a doubt, among more than 10 thousand people, no one cared about me. Instead, they were methodically busy with thousands of complicated and convoluted symbols. I had no idea how difficult it was to get into a decent university in China, even if I could I didn't understand the content of the lecture. You can imagine that I was like an innocent elf who gets lost in Gulliver's Travels and lives with a group of intricate monsters... middle of paper... in a class reunion, we were ordered to rush to our dorms. There were 10 minutes before bed, and most students used this time to call their family out of town. They laughed, they cried, their feelings exploded just in those 10 minutes. This was my first day in what we called the 'prison'. I think, thus far, readers can sense how difficult and painful it is to adapt to the drastic environment, both linguistically and ideologically. However, my next story would be, in short, I endured all this and reached the top 2000 in CEE. I was finally admitted to Beijing Normal University after 3 years of study. Looking back at the old times, I feel sincerely grateful and will always treasure the difficult memories. Ita109-Assignment1Winston(Hezhi Zhu)Student ID:20601160
