On November 10th to 12th, MCS-YES students took an active part in a three-day “Shanghai Life Practice” arranged by MCS Office. For YES students this was the very first group activity to travel outside Hangzhou and get insights into Chinese society while experiencing the prosperity and pluralism of the busiest city, as well as enjoy the metropolitan culture of contemporary China. In particular for the purpose of combining Chinese study and culture experience, all Chinese teachers from MCS Language Centre participated this trip, planned the tour routes in both Chinese and English and assigned the task of questionnaire. Students found out and recognized the pleasance of self-study with social interaction thoroughly through this activity.
