自2019级新生入学以来，已经过去一个多月了。这段时间他们过得怎么样？他们适应这里的学习和生活的节奏吗？他们会遇到哪些困难？

It has been more than a month since our IG students in The Affiliated School of Xiamen Institute of Technology joined our group.How are they getting along here in the past period? Have they successfully agreed with the learning and living pace here? What kinds of challenge they may meet?

        在收上来的问卷中，“原以为”成为了一个高频词。是的，这里的课程并没有他们想象中的那么轻松，国际部也并非是一个全无压力的“天堂”，成功的花从来都不能缺少奋斗的汗水浇灌。

        “I thought” was mentioned frequently in our surveys.It seems that not everything is  as easy as they thought in the international group.“No pains and no gains”is always working in the real world.

        但我们也能很欣喜地看到，中英班的新生们开始踏上了新的旅途——从学习如何自我管理与约束，到遵守规则和尊重他人；从个人演讲的勇于表达，到合作中团队精神的培养；从向老师提问，到和老师debate不同的想法……在这里，他们的成长也在悄然发生。

        We are glad to see that all of our new members have started the new trip here.They are learning how to discipline themselves,following the rules and respect others;They are learning how to make a presentation and how to cooperate with the partners;They are leaning how to ask questions and how to debate their own ideas,etc.They are growing up with experiences and challenges everyday.
