This summer I am to attend a English summer camp for Sino-Us cultural exchanges, which I have long been dreamed about.
This programme was aimed at promoting the understanding of the people and culture among the two countries. During the two-weeks English summer camp, we will visit some famous American universities, experience American culture or tour places of interest in the US. Furthermore, we will also be offered a platform practice our spoken English in an authentically language environment.
I am sure of that this programme will help me better understand the cultural difference. Meanwhile, I can introduce my country to American students through this programme, that will definitely be a great success.

One of the most fundamental changes brought about in the last decade is the rise of remote learning. With the global climate crisis and health pandemics, remote learning has become even more relevant today. Schools, universities and corporates can continue affording education and training by remote technology in the time of social distancing due to the COVID-19 crisis. 1.
Learn Anywhere, Anytime
Gone is the need to be on campus at a specific time of day and remain there for the duration of numerous classes. 2.. More importantly, it has also made learning a practical choice for many rural communities who are unable to travel the vast distances to school every day and to remote teams working for companies located afar.
3.
When it comes to learning, one size doesn’t fit all People have varied learning styles that change depending on the nature of the content they are trying to absorb. E-Learning allows learners to personalize their education, focusing on areas that need greater attention in more detail. Also, rather than being a one-way path where the learner listens and takes in information, online training means that learners can pursue areas that interest them in more detail.
Better Engagement
Keeping learners engaged throughout the training is one of the key struggles. One of the strengths of E-Learning is the diverse nature in which the course content is delivered. 4. Some online learning communities allow trainers to provide multimedia recording to make training more engaging. With the game engine, they also have the option to gamify content and include rewards once sections are completed for young employees and fresh graduates who might have just passed out from school and are still transitioning to the corporate world. 5.
A.E-Learning gives people the flexibility to be able to learn at home, anytime they want.
B.Personalized Learning Experience
C.Learn more in detail
D.Learners are now used to and expect interactivity.
E.Nearly 30 percent of learners, or more than six million students, having taken at least one course online.
F.Overall, there are a few core reasons to opt (选择) for remote learning.
G.Quizzes, polls, and discussion boards also mean trainees get to discuss content and interact with one another.
