 For today's morning, our cohort had 'persuasive communication' in which we were taught the skills to communicate with others in a convincing way. We love the way the teacher started off the lesson by asking us to brainstorm ideas on how a persuasive speech is like, and it was a good way to learn by watching examples from TED Talks so as to have a general opinion of the differences between a good and a bad speech. This had been a meaningful lesson and the knowledge we gained on how to deliver a persuasive speech and communicate convincingly can often be applied in our daily lives. We also tried to use the skills we learnt to deliver a speech to a particular audience in each of the scenarios given, and we realised how important persuasive communication is as it helps expressing our ideas effectively.

 Today afternoon, we had an engineering lesson.  We learned engineering
by doing different experiments, such as sorting different MnM
chocolates according to their colours under different coloured lights.
It is a new experience for all of us because we have never tried to
figure out these fun facts in life!  This was very unforgettable for
all of us and were very surprised by the results of experiments.  We
learned different enginering knowledge and knew the linkage between
our lives and their applications. This lesson is especially useful for
all of us who studies Physics.

July 13th Melanie Ip Janet Lee Dorothy Ma Christine Lum   We attended a visual design class with Bill Scott and together created a get well soon card for our friend. Rather than copying the pictures directly from the internet, we were encouraged to be imaginative. We modified our original drawings of animals and stuck it onto the card. Furthermore, we were instructed to use pen instead of pencils. We learnt that making mistakes is a part of life and we should not be intimidated by this fact. After, we played a game where we rearranged letters, from an original word and made different words from it, sone in different languages. We also had neuroscience after that and we learnt more about that subject as most of us didnt have any idea of what it is. We also learnt many interesting topics regarding neuroscience and we were all intrigued. After classes we prepared for multicultural night. The event was really fun as we got to learn about the cultures and history of a few diff...

July 16th Melanie Ip Greta Lam Janet Lee Christine Lum Dorothy Ma We went on a field trip to San Francisco Bay Area where we spent most of our day. First we took a 2 hour bus tour around the city. During the tour we got to see the whole city of San Francisco and listened to the brief history of the city told by the tour guide. The Golden Gate Bridge was also a highlight of the bus tour. The wind was exceptionally strong and we can rarely experience it anywhere else. We also took a few photos before we continued our trip. We also had two hours of free time after the bus tour, so that we could walk around Fisherman's Wharf. We had a great lunch of seafood, soup and bread and it was delicious. There was also a large number of shops in the Fisherman's Wharf. Since we had some time left we shopped around and bought some souvenirs. Another great thing that we had the chance to see sea lions. We rarely see them in hk except in ocean park and it was a great exoerience for us...

Today is such a special Wednesday! We had a field trip with packed activities. In the morning, we played iFly, a memorable experience with professional instruct. After that, we even learned some physics principles to give a detailed explanation of our flight. We really took a lot from such exciting and unforgettable activity which we could never have back in Hong Kong! After lunch, we had a talk on the administration of Standford University and we learned about the detailed information for application of the university. The Stanford University is such a beautiful place, we really hope that we can continue our study there. In the evening, we had a bonfire. The sunset was magical, we had loads and loads of pictures there. It has been a pity that we did not get ourselves some smores, but it was surely a precious experience to enjoy the view and the weather!
