I started to study at Cambridge University in May 2009。Just arrived，Cambridge，or translated as Kangqiao) let me feel her charm。Ancient buildings，The gray-yellow stone wall exudes a strong sense of history；River Cam passes through the city，Sword Riverside、In college，Rows of green trees，Large lawn，Accompanied by various flowers，Lush，There are also flocks of pigeons、Duck、Cattle and sheep；Pedestrians are either leisurely or in a hurry，But always polite、Humility and courtesy，Sometimes wearing a hat、Old man holding an umbrella，Teacher wearing black gown、The students passed by...everything was calm and orderly，Rich and peaceful。This quietness suddenly became turbulent on Friday evening。The streets and alleys are full of young people drinking in groups，Laughing loudly。All students from Cambridge University？According to introduction，The beginning of Cambridge University，Teachers and students have the habit of drinking everywhere after studying。Occasional commotion not Bet365 loginonly does not destroy the poetry of Cambridge，On the contrary, it makes Saturday morning even more peaceful。
Cambridge University currently has 31 colleges。The famous King’s College is in the center of Cambridge，The college’s church (Chapel) is ancient and magnificent，It took more than 70 years to complete (1441-1515)。To the north is the beautiful Back Lawn of the college，Also part of Cambridge's "Backs"，Jianhe flows quietly here。Go north through the small bridge over the Jian River，On the green lawn by the side of the path，A piece of white marble lies quietly，On it is engraved in Chinese regular script Xu Zhimo's poem "Gently I leave"，Just as I come gently...I wave my sleeves，Don’t take away a single cloud”。
Cambridge University is a world-class university。Young Xu Zhimo graduated with an undergraduate degree in the United States，After obtaining a Master of Arts degree，Coming to the UK，Research Student at King's College from the spring of 1921 to the summer of 1922，Start poetry creation from now on。He said: "Kang Qiao taught me to open my eyes。”I think，This does not refer to academic eyes，But the feeling of life，New understanding of life。This has to do with academics，Which...？
Study
I have taken more than 10 courses in the Faculty of English and the Faculty of Divinity at Cambridge University。Teachers have different teaching methods。Some people speak while standing，Some people sit and read from the script；With demonstration courseware，Some do not use multimedia at all；He talked until the end of get out of class，There are students who keep asking questions。As long as the teacher asks a question，Some students bet365 live casino bettingresponded positively。In those classes where the teacher only talks but does not ask questions，Students often raise their hands or ask questions directly without raising their hands。I found，Those classes that can generate lively discussions，There are several conditions: the teacher always assigns questions before class，Positive guidance in class；Students previewed before class；There are not many students in class，Usually about 20 people。
Although teachers have various teaching methods，But there are two basically the same points: one，Almost all teachers will give each student a handout of one or more pieces of paper before each class，The above is the main content of this lesson or quotations from relevant materials，Generally there are references for further study (Further Reading or Select Bibliography)；Part 2，Students take classes in the department or faculty，You can get further guidance (supervision) from teachers in their respective colleges。
The University of Cambridge is one of the few remaining (it is said to be only three) collegiate universities in the world。Cambridge University College in Finance、Independent from the university in terms of personnel and other aspects。Students studying different majors were admitted to the college，Food and accommodation in the college。The college recruits teachers from different majors，At the college，They are called Fellow，Free room and board at the college。They are professionals above Junior Lecturer in various departments，Includes Junior Lecturer、Senior Lecturer、Reader、Professor etc.。Fellow guides students in this college according to their Bet365 loginmajors，Each course will be tutored at least once a week。This kind of guidance is often one-on-one，Even if not one to one，Generally, a teacher can instruct up to 3-4 students at a time。So the college needs to hire many Fellows。Students get a small scope at the college、Multiple times、Targeted guidance，Very important for students’ learning。So the key factor that determines how well a student learns is not attending classes in the department，How about the guidance of the college。
Life
Regardless of department or college，No one forces students to attend class on time、Participate in tutoring、Read carefully, etc.，But students must pass strict examinations，So most students study consciously。However，Their learning is not just about attending classes、Reading、Exam。The extracurricular life at Cambridge University can be said to be rich and colorful。Except for one discussion after another、Other than academic lectures，Each college、School Departments、Research Center、Library、Exhibition halls and other institutions continue to organize various activities，such as Festival of Ideas、Festival of Music、Poem recitation、Drama performance、Special movie、Concert、Theme exhibitions, etc.，It’s endless，There are also Formal Halls in various colleges、Various churches (except Darwin College，The 30 colleges of Cambridge University have their own chapels，There are also many churches in Cambridge) Service、A wide range of festival square performances organized by relevant institutions in Cambridge，Coupled with various sports activities bet365 online betting app(the rowing competition between the various colleges of Cambridge University and with Oxford University is famous。Punting on the Cam River is also a major tourist attraction in Cambridge)，Overwhelming。Most of these activities are free，There are discounts for students if there is a fee。If you participate in all activities，There is simply no time to study and study by myself，So you can only participate in some activities selectively。
My initial impression of Cambridge was wonderful，Think of being a teacher at Cambridge University、You are lucky to be a student。Of course I know she is not without her problems: Cambridge seems more composed than nervous。Cambridge University was once brilliant，Now in many aspects, it is behind some famous schools in the United States。King's College、Trinity College、St. John's College (St. John’s College) and other old colleges are very wealthy (mainly because they own large areas of land granted by the king)，And University、Departments and some new colleges are short of funds... I will stay here longer，Maybe we will find more problems with her。But no matter what，Cambridge because of its old age，Beautiful because of its idyllic scenery，This kind of beauty is even more poetic because it is soaked in the fragrance of books。
