Xu Xiaozhou, Dean of Education College of Zhejiang University, led more than 40 teachers and students from Trento autonomous province to study in the school, including Francesco, director of education in Trento, Antonio, the local principal, ivanna, an English teacher, and Monica, a German teacher.
Pan Zhiqiang, the headmaster of our school, showed the foreign guests around the campus. In the hot summer, the guests were amazed at the campus environment of our school and felt that "there is no need to use an umbrella to shade the sun". More than 40 students from senior one experimental class in our school and senior two experimental class in overseas middle schools exchanged English with Italian students and showed friendship with each other along the way. At the forum, Yao Hongchang, director of the Municipal Education Bureau, gave a welcome speech. President Pan Zhiqiang introduced the basic situation of the school and the achievements of foreign affairs work, and presented his new book "I teach Chinese overseas" to the guests. Our school is an international primary and secondary school base for promoting Chinese as confirmed by Hanban. It is very timely to introduce books on learning Chinese to visiting Italian guests, and they warmly welcome them. As President Pan said in his speech: "There are many forms of international communication, and the communication between language and culture is undoubtedly the most fundamental. Although the exchange between teachers and students of the two countries is short, it will be long-term to deepen mutual impression, enhance mutual feelings and promote cultural exchanges between the two sides. "
Francisco, director of Trento Education Bureau, also presented a gift to our school-three beautiful paintings by students. It is worth mentioning that, at the invitation of Italian middle school students, our school football team played a half-court football friendly match of eight people with visiting Italian students, and two Italian girls even wore dresses. On the court, despite the scorching sun, the enthusiasm of players and cheerleaders is still high. Not to be outdone, the two sides fought fiercely on the court; There are cheers in Italian and Chinese in the stands. In the end, both teams made money, 1 and 1 shook hands. Su Dongpo (Chinese name), an Italian visiting professor at Zhejiang University School of Education, praised our students for their strong sense of teamwork and better football. A special game, a special exchange, I believe that the middle school students of the two countries will leave a good impression on each other.
