学在中国,教在中国

学在中国,享受中国
当我决定来中国留学的时候,我曾经很担心自己能否适应在中国的生活,因为中国的文化习惯与生活方式和我的祖国有着太多不同。然而当我真正来到中国后,我惊奇地发现,中国的生活方式和世界其他国家是如此的相似。我生活在哈尔滨,这里的商店和食物都是和世界接轨的。像星巴克、麦当劳、肯德基这样的西方快餐店在这里很容易找到,除了丰盛的中国菜,日本菜、韩国菜等其他菜系也都很容易找到。

适应了在这里的生活后,我更是切身感受到,作为留学生在中国学习是一件非常有意义的事情。我所就读的东北林业大学是一所充满学术氛围、充满活力、充满热情的高校。我的校园生活可以说是丰富多彩。良好的校园环境和设施如足球场、篮球场、游泳馆、滑冰场,充实着我的身心,让我与来自世界各地的朋友有了交流的机会。学习环境更是让我无比满意和享受,每天我都可以从汉语老师的课程里收获大量的知识,老师们不厌其烦地纠正我的发音、我的语法。一年时间过去了,初来时的我汉语还有些生硬,但是现在我已经可以流畅地和老师同学们一起探讨各自感兴趣的话题,甚至还学会了说地道的东北话。当然,每当我讲东北话时,老师们也都会努力纠正我的口音。

2021年,我有幸加入了学校的国际学生支教团,这是一个定期为学校定点扶贫县的中学学生们教授英语、介绍外国文化的志愿者队伍。在参加这次活动之前,学校的老师们向我介绍了有关扶贫的政策,我也自行查询了很多中国扶贫帮贫的故事。在此之前,对扶贫没有丝毫概念的我,通过了解,认识到这是一个多么有意义的举措。老师们告诉我,中国的扶贫,不仅仅要帮助他们富起来,还要扶文化、扶技术、扶精神、扶观念、扶信心、扶思路,这既是任务,也是责任。我被中国的扶贫精神深深感动,决心一定要尽自己最大的努力,加入这个伟大的事业。支教活动当天,我通过云端课堂的直播,用英语为东北林业大学定点扶贫对象泰来县第三中学的400余名师生介绍了我的国家也门的风俗习惯,带领他们“云游”也门。讲座开始时,我紧张到仿佛能听到自己的心跳,可是当我看到同学们在线上给我的留言、提问、点赞时,虽然隔着屏幕,我仍然感受到了孩子们对国际文化的喜爱和对学习的热情,我的心情由紧张转为激动,我意识到我也是扶贫这项神圣事业的一员,一定要圆满地完成我的使命。

学习扶贫精神,向世界传播中国
支教课堂结束后,我的心情久久不能平静。在繁忙的日常学习中,抽出时间精心准备一次支教课程,其实是一个很辛苦的过程。但如果还有机会,我会毫不犹豫地选择加入。因为以前的我,在中国学汉语、学文化,是为了今后更好更深入地学习专业知识,做好科研工作。但是现在的我,除了学生的身份,又多了一个身份,那就是国际文化传播的志愿者。我不仅仅要向中国的朋友们介绍我的国家的文化,更要把我在中国的所学所感所得讲述给我的国家和世界。学在中国,教在中国,感悟在中国,把中国传播向全世界!
Study in China and Teach in China

Enjoy the Study in China
When I decided to study in China, I was worried about whether I could adapt to life there because its culture, customs and lifestyle are too different from my motherland. However, when I finally came to China, I was surprised to find that China’s lifestyle is so similar to that of other countries. I lived in Harbin where the shops and foods are international. Western fast-food restaurants, such as Starbucks, McDonald’s and KFC are easy to find here. Besides various Chinese food, Japanese food, Korean food and other cuisines are also easy to find.
After being used to the life here, I do feel studying in China as an international student is very meaningful. The Northeast Forestry University I attend is full of academic atmosphere, vitality, and passion. My campus life is colorful. Beautiful campus environment and facilities keep me fit and enrich my mind, including football field, basketball court, swimming pool and skating ring. In these places I get the opportunity to meet and communicate with friends of all over the world. I am extremely satisfied with and enjoy the learning environment. Every day I can acquire a lot of knowledge from the Chinese teachers who are very patient to correct my pronunciation and grammar. After one year of study, I can fluently discuss various topics with teachers and students, even though my Chinese was a little blunt at the beginning. I even learned to speak northeast dialect. Of course, whenever I speak northeast dialect, the teachers will also try to correct my accent.
Work As A Volunteer Teacher toSupport Poverty Alleviation
In 2021, I had the honor to join the International Student Support Group in our school, which is a volunteer team that regularly teaches English and introduces foreign culture to middle school students in poverty-stricken counties that the school provides paired-up assistance. Before the participation, the teachers introduced to me the relevant policies, and I also searched and read many stories of poverty alleviation in China. I had no idea about poverty alleviation before and realized how meaningful it was after understanding the situation. My Teachers told me that China’s poverty alleviation should not only help the local people get rich, but also provide support for the development of culture and technology, for the spirit uplifting, traditional ideas renewing, confidence building and mind broadening. This is both the mission and the responsibility. I am deeply moved by the spirit of poverty alleviation of China and determined to do my best to join this great cause. On the day of teaching, I introduced the customs and habits of my country Yemen to more than 400 teachers and students of the Third Middle School in Tailai county, the paired-up poverty alleviation school of Northeast Forestry University. I also showed them around Yemen online. At the outset of the lecture, I was so nervous that I seemed to hear my heartbeat. However, when I received the messages, questions and praise from the students online, although across the screen, I still felt the love of the children for international culture and enthusiasm for learning. My tension was gone and replaced by excitement. I realized that I was also a member of the sacred cause of poverty alleviation and must fulfill my mission successfully.
Introduce China’s Anti-Poverty Achievementto the World
When the teaching was finished, I could not calm down for a long time. It was indeed a quite toilsome process to take time from the busy routine schedule for meticulous preparation of courses for students in poverty-stricken counties. For all that, if there are chances later, I will not hesitate to join in. In the past, I studied Chinese and culture of China to gain expertise better and deeper for doing a good job on scientific research in the future. However, I have another capacity now in addition to being a student, that is, a volunteer for international culture exchanges. I will not only introduce culture of my country to Chinese friends, but also tell my country and the world what I have learned and gained in China. Study in China, teach in China and think in China, I will introduce China to the whole world!
