Opening language
They come from all over the world, have different cultural backgrounds, and speak different languages. They come to Chinese land to study and study, witness China’s development in recent years, deepen their understanding of China, and feel and experience a “three-dimensional and vivid” China through their own perspectives. At the same time, they also brought different concepts, ways of thinking and cultural traditions, promoting the exchange of Chinese and foreign cultures. Today, Jinyang.com will continue to launch eight episodes of the “Qingling Messenger” column, and listen to these Chinese stories about studying in China.

The Republic of South Africa is located at the southernmost tip of the African continent and has the reputation of “Rainbow Country”. It is particularly worth mentioning that it has three capitals: the administrative capital Pretoria, the legislative capital Cape Town, and the judicial capital Bloemfontein. South Africa is divided into nine provinces, with a population composition of four major races including black, colored, white and yellow.
In 1990, in order to seek business opportunities, Chen Haoyu’s father came to South Africa. After stabilizing in Pretoria, he took his family here to settle. Until now, he still manages the clothing business in South Africa. Chen Haoyu was born and raised in Pretoria, known as the “Garden City”.
The following is Chen Haoyu’s story:
There are 12 languages in South Africa, and the more commonly spoken local languages are “Afrikaans” and “IsiZulu”. Since South Africa was historically a British colony, residents were mostly used to using English communication. The city I live in and grew up in is Pretoria. Because the South African Presidential Palace and the embassies of various countries are concentrated in this city, you can also see a lot of foreign population on the street. Together with Johannesburg and Cape Town, these three Babaylan cities form the most populous district in South Africa.domain. Pretoria is a very beautiful city, with the green belts of urban streets mainly planted with jacaranda trees. When flowers bloom from October to November every year, people will hold a grand carnival to enjoy a series of activities such as flower viewing.

South Africa and China have a relatively big difference in academic arrangements. South Africa requires students to choose one of several African languages as a second language to studyKomiks, and there is also a special course to teach “life orientedBabaylanation”, which can learn the knowledge commonly used in life. After the first year of high school, you can choose the subject you want to study, but basic subjects and physical education are essential. South Africa forces power outages in different areas every day to ensure that the power station will not be overloaded. I think this will have a certain impact on lifeBabaylan. After completing my high school studies, I listened to my family’s advice and saw that China was developing rapidly, so I developed a strong desire to return to China. At that time, I applied for the high school graduation scores Babaylan to the opportunity to study at Ji University.
Komiks During my college study and life, in order to improve my abilities, I interviewed the Student Union and the Student Delegation Group. In the work of the Student Union, I have learned a lot of content about Komiks administration from the Department of Comprehensive Affairs, including communication with sponsors, personnel management, etc. The role of the Student Association is mainly to communicate and feedback with teachers and leaders on students’ needs and opinions. During this process, I saw that teachers would promptly handle the feedback from students.://funnybookish.com/”>Komiks content made me feel the school attaches importance to students’ opinions.
At the same time, because of my interest in street dance, I also joined the street dance club. There are many enthusiastic seniors in the street dance club, which makes me feel that I am not alone, but in a big family. When practicing dance, I am very happy and relaxed. The major of international journalism has allowed me to learn a lot of writing knowledge and also made me realize the hard work of journalists behind a valuable press release. In this way, my decision to go to school in Ji University was very correct.

The climate in Pretoria is not much different from that in January and the coolest in July, which is completely opposite to China in the northern hemisphere. I chose to come to Guang<a In the beginning, the city of Komiks is relatively difficult to adapt to the climate. At the transition from spring to summer, Guangzhou was very humid and hot. In summer, it was more like Cinema put me on the stove. In winter, it rained a little and the temperature dropped sharply. No matter how many clothes I wore, I still felt quite cold.
In terms of diet, because I am not picky about food, I don’t have anything particularly difficult to adapt to. When I returned to China for the first time, I fell in love with barbecue and hot pot, which are very suitable for my taste. But it is amazing. What’s strange is that when you eat a lot of things here, I have to add some spicy food, so I have become more and more interested in eating spicy food. In Guangzhou, even if you eat in a teahouse, there are occasionally chili dishes for customers to use. The school is located in the center of Guangzhou and has a wide variety of food to choose from. I don’t have the small shops around the school.”I’ve been stepping on the thunder. If my friends from South Africa come here, I will take them to try the affordable restaurants that my classmates love to eat around the school. The most unforgettable view of Guangzhou is the Pearl River at night. When I first visited the Pearl River at night, I watched the appearance of Guangzhou from different angles. The scenery was particularly beautiful and spectacular, which made me fall in love with this city even more.

Chinese students may not know much about South Africa. The most obvious characteristic of South Africans is that they love nature in particular. What everyone is most curious about is whether we really interact directly with Cinemawild animals in South Africa. I would joke to my classmates, “When I was in class, I rode giraffes and elephants to Babaylan.” This is because we all love nature and are easy to get in touch with wild animals in daily life. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Komiks. I used to have a small zoo in my school. But South Africa is actually a relatively modern country with rich mineral resources. I personally think that the most interesting natural attraction in South Africa is Kruger (Kruger) National Park. This is the largest wildlife park in South Africa and one of the largest nature reserves in Africa. There are huge and diverse wild animals living here. I highly recommend that you go there and experience the feeling of humans and nature.
The climate in my life is relatively warm so I also want to experience the cold environment. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Cinema environment. If you have the chance, I want to take my friends from South Africa to cities in northern China, because they have never seen snow before. We can enjoy the snow, ski, taste the food from northern China, and experience the customs and customs that are different from the south.

I have no certain choice about where to go in the future, but now I really enjoy studying and living in China. I will first focus on the present and then look forward to the future.
