Met by my net friend, an alumnus of Karma University? A prodigy? . Contacting my visa to my residence got a lot of help. I can't help sighing about the benefits of the Internet. I found that there are still many good people in the world, and maybe I am one of the lucky ones, but I still deeply feel that China students who struggle together abroad can still support and rely on each other. Under his proper arrangement, I successfully moved into the student apartment and started my new life in Sweden.
Sweden, a country with a population of less than 9 million, is a world leader in many high-tech fields. There are also many world-famous multinational companies, such as Heluxue, Volvo, Sony Ericsson and IKEA, all of which are world-famous brands. Sweden has many international awards. Since the 1990s, there have been international music awards in May, international information technology awards in June and international water awards in August. Of course, the Nobel Prize is the best of these awards. Swedes have established and improved a rigorous evaluation system for the whole world and established the highest authority of the Nobel Prize in the field of natural science. In Stockholm, the Nobel Prize seminar is held every year. According to the selection principle of Nobel Prize, inventors must explain in detail the process of all the achievements in the prize, which provides an excellent learning opportunity for Swedish education and science circles.
Swedes attach great importance to transparency in their lives, which is prominently reflected in the windows of their rooms. Ever since I came to Karma, I used to turn on the lights and close the curtains every time I went home. Moreover, we can often see that the windows of buildings facing the street are like screens, and the owners' every move is clear. This is because Sweden's latitude is high, winter is long and summer is short, especially in dark and humid winter, and the nights are long and the days are short, which always gives people a sense of oppression. Therefore, Swedes make their bedrooms full of green and vitality, so as to forget the depression and monotony of winter, hoping to infect passers-by while enjoying their warmth.
In addition, candles are indispensable in the daily life of Swedes, and they also have a place in ordinary shops or shopping malls. At night, my familiar home will show a different style because of the lit candles, and the tension after a day's work will be relaxed in the warm candlelight. If guests come home for tea and chat, the flickering candlelight will add a little romance. ? Candle culture? It edifies Swedish sentiment and symbolizes their understanding of light: no matter what happens now, the future is always bright. Swedes admire nature and light, yearn for transparency and equality, create romance and warmth, influence education with their unique culture, and promote the continuous improvement of the development level and civilization level of the whole society.
In addition to understanding the cultural atmosphere of Sweden through our usual observation and communication with our classmates, our major has also set up a special course, International Cultural Exchange, which gives us students from all over the world the opportunity to understand the cultures and customs of various countries, and the discussion about Sweden is also in full swing. 65438+February 65438+March is Lucia Day, and the school has specially prepared a program for us. Lovely middle school students wear long white dresses, and the girl in the middle has candles in her head, which ushered in the light for us. Tasting the unique sweet cookies in Sweden and listening to the beautiful legends in lucia, I was deeply attracted by Swedish culture. This festival is a bit like our winter solstice. The midsummer festival on June 22nd every year is like the solstice in our summer, and the Swedes celebrate it more grandly. Neighbors' friends, men, women and children will wear traditional costumes and sing and dance around a wooden pole in a wide square. The wooden pole represents the harvest, and all the people celebrate the harvest around it, dancing all night, and never returning until you are drunk!
The Swedes also left a deep impression on me. No matter how careful a girl is abroad, she will still get into trouble. One day in February 2006, I rode my bike to school and didn't pay attention to the thin layer of ice on the road. At the moment of braking, I was slammed into the middle of the road. After getting up, my left arm can't move. With the help of my classmates, I came to the small clinic for treatment. After the examination, the doctor said that he needed to go to a big hospital for X-ray. The hospital is far away and we don't have a car. The kind Swedish female nurse, considering my situation, told me directly. I will sent you to the hospital. ? This makes me very moved. As the accident happened on my way to school, the school paid the diagnosis fee for me. This incident made me understand the humanization of the Swedish system and the simplicity and kindness of the Swedes. I fell in love with Sweden and Swedes.
Not to mention the gains in the classroom, European students, no matter which country they come from, talk about it in Kan Kan, and the seamless combination of theory and practice makes me lament the advanced humanities in their country; The analysis of market strategy is also thorough and rigorous. These are the abilities that we China students need to improve. Usually, the class time is very short, and there is a lot of reading and homework after class. The completion of the paper is a summary of reading and thinking in the library. This year's study has greatly cultivated my self-study ability and research ability. Many assignments are based on group cooperation, which improves our spirit of cooperation and international communication ability.
After studying abroad for one year, life is also colorful. I learned to cook delicious Chinese food and western cakes. Many foreign friends who live on the same floor of the apartment have eaten my Chinese cooking, and even their parents have tasted my cooking and learned my skills. We have forged a very deep friendship, which is another great achievement of mine in Sweden. During the holiday, we went to Sweden and even half of Europe, looked around and met many friends from different countries and different colors on the earth. Especially in the university town, several of my neighbors came from Austria, Germany, Sweden, Russia, Slovenia, Spain and the Netherlands, and finally everyone became good friends. When you meet someone for a birthday or a holiday, everyone gets together, drinks red wine and talks about life planning.
What have you learned this year? Someone asked me. Actually, I was thinking the same thing. I found that I love my parents and my motherland more. China's development in all aspects has attracted worldwide attention. As a China native, I am deeply proud. China's writing, China's culture and China's history are unique in the world. The paper-cut I gave to foreign friends made them sigh. The poems I wrote for them have been kept as souvenirs. I gave them Chinese lessons, and now they will learn Chinese from me. I also found my real needs. I want to go back to China to live with my parents, relatives and friends, take root in the land of China and create my own world. Other aspects, such as the improvement of spoken English is remarkable, and the professional level has also been greatly improved. More importantly, I left my life and many wonderful memories in Sweden. I have more knowledge, wealth and friendship. I love Sweden and Swedes. I hope I can do something to promote cultural exchanges between the two countries in the future, so that Swedes can know more about China and China people can know more about Sweden.
