The earliest university in America
Just today, I came to Harvard University, a famous American university. Harvard University, founded in 1636, is the oldest university in America.

We came to the campus of Harvard University, but we didn't come to the main campus. Harvard University is divided into many parks. The Chinese name of the student who received us is Li He. He showed us around the main part of Harvard University. I saw the statue of Harvard. Came to the church and visited the toilet. Although there are toilets in China, this toilet is underground. It is rare in China.

The tour guide told us three lies about Harvard in the car: In front of the administration building of Harvard University, there stands a statue of john harvard, with the American flag on it, and three lines of words engraved: "john harvard", "Founder" and "1638". However, there are three famous "lies" hidden in these three lines. Lie 1: This statue is not based on john harvard himself. Because Mr. Harvard didn't leave any photos, he had to find a handsome young man as a model according to people's imagination when he later built the statue. Lie 2: Although Harvard University is named after Harvard, Harvard is not the earliest founder. The predecessor of Harvard University was called "Cambridge University", and later it was renamed "Harvard" because Mr. Harvard donated half of his property and a library. In order to thank and commemorate him, the school was renamed "Harvard University". Lie 3: Harvard was founded in 1636, not "1638". After visiting the important places, the teacher of Harvard gave us a "lesson".

We came to the classroom of Harvard teaching building. I saw a female teacher. But she can't speak Chinese, because she doesn't need to. So I can't understand a word she said. Leading our student in translation shows how good his English is. I feel sleepy in that class.

Later, we got the certificate. It is a certificate that everyone has. Although I was not impressed by Harvard, I went to Harvard.
