A1&D班

“吃饺子”是中国的传统习俗。A1班和D班于12月5日在东十二楼举办了“暖冬饺子情”联谊活动，通过包饺子比赛及一系列交流，让国际学生感受到冬日处在异乡的温暖，并借此活动弘扬我国的传统饮食文化——包饺子。

下午3：50分左右，A1班和D班学生在东十二楼417教室集合，在简单的自我介绍、相互了解之后，大家选择位置安安静静坐下来，听A1班班主任许倩老师讲解中国的饺子文化，以及饺子的制作过程。学生们都听得很认真，热情度高涨。

接下来，在两个班老师的带领下，学生们开始动手实际操作。在桌上铺好了桌布、摆完食材和用具后，学生们去洗手间认认真真地洗净了手。回到教室，学生们被分为三个小组，每个小组有两个老师带队，向他们示范包饺子的过程。学生们很积极也很聪明，很快就学会了包饺子的技能，还能有各种新奇的创新。大家不约而同地在包饺子的过程中比赛，不仅比谁包得好，还比谁包得快。没过多久，饺子馅和饺子皮就被两个班的学生变成了一堆精美的饺子。

接下来是煮饺子，学生自己带了厨具，但是考虑到用电安全，我们的厨具是小功率的。早就想尝尝饺子味道的学生觉得煮饺子的过程尤其漫长，于是有学生在教室放起了美妙的音乐，并跟随着音乐跳舞；两个班的学生趁此机会交流，彼此之间很快就熟悉起来；还有学生趁此间歇拉着老师合影留念。学生们的活跃，让整个教室的气氛十分热闹和欢乐。

饺子煮好了，老师们给学生分发了碗筷，大家一起开心地品尝了饺子。很多学生都对饺子赞不绝口，吃了一个又一个，表示他们非常喜欢中国的饺子。也有学生表示吃不习惯，但是通过这个活动了解了中国的饮食文化，他们也很开心。（中英文编辑：许倩&王瑶）

The students listened carefully and enthusiastically.

Next, under the leadership of the teachers in the two classes, the students began to practice. After the tablecloth was laid on the table and the materials and utensils were laid out, the students went to the bathroom and cleaned their hands conscientiously. Back in the classroom, the students were divided into three groups. Each group was led by two teachers. They were shown the process of making dumplings for students. The students were very active and smart, and soon learned the skills of making dumplings, and there were all kinds of novel innovations. Everyone invariably competes in the process of making dumplings, not only better than who packs, but also who packs faster. Not long after, the stuffing of dumplings and the cover of dumplings were turned into a bunch of fine dumplings by the students of the two classes.

The next step is to cook the dumplings. The students bring their own kitchen utensils, but considering the safety of electricity, our kitchen utensils were low-powered. Students who have long wanted to taste the taste of dumplings feel that the process of cooking dumplings is particularly long, so some students put up beautiful music in the classroom and danced with the music; some students of the two classes took the opportunity to communicate, quickly became acquainted with each other. Meanwhile, some students took photos with teachers and classmates. The activeness of the students made the atmosphere of the whole classroom very lively and joyful.

D班

12月20日下午四点，在结束一天的繁忙学习生活后，D班学生又迎来了他们期待已久的文化课。本次文化活动是“画脸谱”，让学生在动手过程中增加对京剧艺术的了解，故重心是在京剧脸谱上，当然学生也可以自由发挥。

活动开始，老师放映PPT，给学生讲解京剧艺术，脸谱的来源、种类等，学生听得十分认真。

重点展示内容是不同颜色的脸谱代表不同的人物性格。

红色脸：象征忠义、耿直、有血性，如：“三国戏”里的关羽。

黑色脸：既表现性格严肃，不苟言笑，为中性，代表猛智。如“包公戏”里的包拯；又象征威武有力、粗鲁豪爽，如：“三国戏”里的张飞。

白色脸：表现奸诈多疑，含贬义，代表凶诈，如：“三国戏”里的曹操。

黄色脸：勇猛、暴躁，如：三国里面的典韦（曹操部将）。

蓝色脸：表现性格刚直，桀骜不驯，如：《盗御马》里的窦尔墩（蓝花三块瓦脸）。

接下来，老师给学生讲解怎样画脸谱

①先在脸谱模板勾画出一个脸的中心线条。

②然后在这个“脸”形里勾出对称的双眼、双耳、鼻、嘴，造型要有夸张、变形。

③根据自己所要表达的人物性格涂上颜色。

④整体调整一下颜色的均衡度。

担心学生只是听讲不能完全领会脸谱的绘制方法，我们还在PPT中加入了视频，给学生播放绘制脸谱的详细步骤。然后是分发脸谱面具（空白）和绘制脸谱的工具给学生，让学生试着绘制京剧脸谱。

学生在听讲过程中就已经跃跃欲试，待到老师刚发完脸谱面具和绘制工具，他们就立刻动手，开始勾勒、绘制并为自己画的面具涂上颜色。陆陆续续画完脸谱后，学生们非常开心，彼此之间交换面具欣赏和佩戴，并合影留念。

活动整整持续到五点半。下课了，好些学生还意犹未尽，表示要留在教室将自己的作品打造得更完美。（中英文编辑：王瑶）

At 4 o'clock on the afternoon of December 20th, after the end of a busy day of study, the D class students ushered in their long-awaited cultural class. This cultural event was “mask painting”, which allowed students to increase their understanding of the art of Beijing Opera during the hands-on process. Therefore, the focus was on the Peking Opera mask, and of course students could freely play.

Before the event, the teacher showed the PPT and explained the art of Beijing Opera, the source and type of the face, and the students listened very seriously.

The key content was that different color faces represent different character traits.

Red face: symbolizes loyalty, straightness, and bloodiness, such as Guan Yu in the "Three Kingdoms". (PPT display picture)

Black face: It is both serious and unspoken, neutral, and wise. Such as Bao Zheng in the "Bao Gong Opera"; it also symbolizes powerful and rude, such as: Zhang Fei in the "Three Kingdoms".

White face: Expressing treacherous and suspicious, including derogatory, representing fierce, such as: Cao Cao in the "Three Kingdoms".

Yellow face: brave, violent, such as: Dian Wei in the Three Kingdoms (Cao Xun Department).

Blue face: The character is straight and unruly, such as: Dou Erdun (blue flower three tile face) in "Theft Horse".

Next, the teacher explained to the students how to draw a Facebook

1. First outline the center line of a face in the Facebook template.

2. Then in this "face" shape, symmetrical eyes, ears, nose, mouth, the shape should be exaggerated, deformed.

3. Apply color according to the character of the person you want to express.

4. Adjust the balance of the color as a whole.

We were worried that students just can't fully understand the drawing method of Facebook, so we also added video in PPT to show students the detailed steps of drawing Facebook.Then distributed the masks (blank) and the tools for drawing the mask to the students, and let the students try to draw the Peking Opera mask.

The students were already eager to try during the lectures. Wait until the teacher distributed the masks and drawing tools, they immediately started to paint, draw and paint the masks they painted. After painting the face in succession, the students were very happy, each of them exchanged masks to enjoy and wear, and took photos as a memorial.

The activity lasted until half past five. After class, many students were still undecided, said that they want to stay in the classroom to make their works more perfect.
