作为少数全团一次性通过签证的夏令营团体之一，我校国际部10年级的同学们在游学过程中得到老师的高度评价，是近几年中评价最高的；没有受到任何住家投诉，只有表扬；全队素质很高，早饭自己收盘子，酒店不大声喧哗，下车带走垃圾……整个旅途中孩子们都是积极向上的！
每天4点放学回家后，学生们玩蹦床，打棒球，游泳，钓鱼，和家中小孩玩，逗家中小动物，学滑板，帮助住家父母做晚饭、清理院中杂草……丰富多彩的课余生活让人感觉，放学不是一天的结束，而是一天的开始。这些体验都比玩手机消磨时光更让人放松和享受。
在这里，每天会听到上百句“谢谢”，这不是“客气”，而是互相尊重和爱的表达。孩子感谢妈妈幸苦做了晚餐，感谢父母为自己添菜；父母感谢孩子帮助倒水、饭后帮忙整理餐具。
早晨住家开车送去上学，不妨说声“谢谢”；同学为你开门，不妨说声“谢谢”；住家孩子和我们分享游戏，不妨说声“谢谢”；住家带着我们去到各种地方，不妨说声“谢谢”……同样，我们的每一个小小的举动都会被感谢。

美国家庭的活动更多的是全家参与。他们期待我们参与到他们的生活中，希望我们尝试每一个新鲜的事物。
在短短的三周时间内，我和我的两位学生结识了住家父母双方的全部亲人。他们带我们来回开6个小时的车去住家妈妈的父母家度周末、来回开车4小时去住家爸爸父母家共进晚餐，邀请我们参加他们一年一度全部家人聚会的派对，他们把我们当成了家人，仿佛迫不及待地想要和最亲的人分享和我们在一起的喜悦。
我们尝试了不同国家的菜、西班牙Taco, 印度咖喱， 法国Quiche，美国鸡汤，意大利面，中国烧卖，韩国泡菜等；我们从10米的桥上纷纷跳下水；一起在溪水里玩陶土，把自己画成土著；一起唱歌；一起跳搞怪的芭蕾……
分别的拥抱
一次，住家妈妈指着小镇上一家餐馆的名字“缘”问我是什么意思，我解释道，“缘 is the fate that we are bound to meet each other in our life, just like your family and us”.
告别合影
我很庆幸能在生命中遇到他们，让我切身体验到了不同的文化氛围。我也把中国的优秀文化带给了他们。10岁的Logan喜欢上了中国，并且下定决心要学习中文，我们约定在中国再次相见。他们全家都学会了用筷子和包饺子……
每一位学生在各自的住家，都经历了独一无二的时光，每个人有每个人不同的的故事，但同样令人难忘。
在分别的那一刻，千言万语化作一个温暖的拥抱。

无论是面对名胜风景，还是知名高校，抑或是斯巴霍克学校的学习、寄宿家庭的生活，孩子们都积极地思考、融入，让每一段旅程都留下深刻的记忆，并用中英文双语记录下自己的感受。

I’d been in the USA for one month this summer break, and I think it was an unforgettable experience in my life. This summer, I had a chance to go to the Spar-hawk school to study. I was very lucky, because our teachers no matter Luke or Bob were all hardworking, and I learnt a lot from them. I remember that I was very shy when I did presentation in the past, and sometimes I even couldn’t speak any words. But after this one month’s study, I find that I could try my best to challenge myself, and this was my greatest achievement.

One of the biggest lessons I’d learnt in the Spar-hawk school was creativity and independent thoughts. In regular American classrooms, the teachers won’t give students right answers directly, they often try their best to let students explore. It is just an entirely different parenting model from China. I think this model tends to provide students with a sliding scale of right and wrong rather than a set of absolutes.

In three weeks’study, the teachers in the Spar-hawk school created many opportunities for us to make speeches or do the presentation. So after this training, we all made great progress in our oral speaking. We do not hesitate or afraid to speak English any more ,and we are all proud of being IB students.

刚到寄宿家庭的时候，我有些害怕。他们的房子在乡下，周围十分荒凉。但是，他们的和蔼可亲很快就让我放松下来，融入到家庭中。足球、户外自行车运动等活动，让生活充满了乐趣。有一次，我们回来得比较晚，可爱的住家父母放了许多会发出怪叫的幽灵在我们房间，门背后，床单下，甚至厕所里都是！真是可怕又可爱！

The host family life makes me unforgettable.I had a kind host family. They took us to do a lot of activities, such as watching football matches, playing the brave games, boating, playing on the beach and shopping. They did everything planed, just for letting us have wonderful memories.

I have a lot of fun in America, especially with our friendly host family. Wanda is very nice. She wants us to experience American culture, so she cook different kinds of food for us, and plan some American boy’s activities. Charles is very enthusiasm, he takes us to do some activities we never did before, such as watching football game, playing dinghy, playing Zip-line.
——Walter冯俞强
Meeting a warn family is very lucky，my homestay family treat us as their family members, we go to supermarket together, play games, join big pool party, relax on yacht and so on. Even if a child completes a small work,it will be generous to be praised. If the children experience difficulties, the parents will encourage them to keep trying instead of saying “you are clever”. They always say “thank you”to family members even at home, impressing their love directly.

刚来到寄宿家庭我还带着一些拘束，家庭成员的热情和关爱，让我很快融入了这个家庭。从开始的陌生到熟悉，慢慢适应，这种感觉很奇妙。

Once I have a conflict with other students in our host family. When our host mom Mrs Linda came back home, I talked to her about the situation.“That’s ok”, she said,“everyone got rights to do the choice by themselves. We should respect each other.” And then she told me about her son’s childhood stories. I feel very touched and it’s the first time I really feel warm from inside in this country.

My host mother taught us how to play trampoline with patience. She taught us some basic skills, we trained very hard and enjoyed it after school. Now we can do it well. In a word, it is a happy experience and it let me have a great harvest.

经过在斯巴霍克学校三周的学习，我进步最大的也许不是词汇量，而是英语的应用能力。期间，我们开展了许多与ppt相结合的演讲，口语表达能力和自信心得到了提升。与陌生同学合作、短时间内用学过的单词编对话，则锻炼了我们的团队协作能力。

在与寄宿家庭相处的三周中，我学会了如何与不同文化、不同背景的人相处。令我最记忆犹新的是我得湿疹的经历。住家妈妈不止一次带我去药店寻医问药，每日早起、放学都会询问我的皮肤情况，让我倍感温暖。

身临其境的生活与学习，不仅提高了我们的英语水平，还让我们深入体验了当地的文化。在美国的教育中，自信、敢说、诚信是十分重要的，我也在努力提升自己。在与住家的生活中我发现这里的人们高度热情，非常喜欢与人交谈。我们的住家总是极力给予我们最好的，在吃饭时常常与我们一起交流，同时也十分尊重我们的文化，尝试了解我们的文化。
