Zhaoqing Sports Cultural Exchange Tour 肇慶體育文化交流學習團

Led by Principal Li, a group of 16 students went to Zhaoqing Sports School for a four-day exchange tour. Not only did our students experience school life in mainland China, they trained together with student athletes there. Students also enjoyed visiting tourist attractions in Zhaoqing. 

Zhaoqing Sports School is a well-known school in Guangzhou province. Our school has formed a sister school partnership with it to promote regular exchange and collaboration.

Student’s Reflection: 1A Lee Lai Shuen

Before leaving for Zhaoqing, I was full of expectations: Will I make progress in this beautiful place?

On the first day there, we visited Qixing Lake. The night view was so incredible.  

On the second day, before our high jump training in the morning, we took a 1600m run for warm up. The coach was really nice. He claimed he would make us lose 6 pounds here. But I’m not going to make life easy for him, I’m going to make him lose 30kg! 

The coach was actually very professional. He showed us some useful techniques in high jump. Thanks to him, my personal best has improved from 1.1m to 1.25m! We should never limit ourselves!

When I woke up on the third day, my muscles were so sore, but a long day of training awaited me. I practiced really hard under the coach’s guidance. With his constant feedback and encouragement, I was pleased that I made good improvements. I found out that the run before a jump is crucial for a good jump. 

Then came the last day of the tour. I didn’t want it to end. It had been a very rewarding four days. I learnt that we have to constantly challenge ourselves and be fearless if we want to be better. I have so much respect for athletes now. Those training sessions were no joke! I hope to return for more training in the future!

2020年1月18至21日，李校長及16名師生到廣東省肇慶市體育運動學校及肇慶市體育中心進行四天的文化交流。我們除了藉此體驗國內的學校生活外，更可與體校同學交流訓練，是一次耳目一新的學習經驗。此外，我們也參觀肇慶市中心景點，體驗當地文化，開拓視野。

肇慶市體育運動學校是廣州省內著名的學校，學生在省運動會表現出眾。他們早前與我校締結為姊妹學校，兩校定期互派人員交流。

同學感想： 1A李麗旋

「肇慶」一個很美的名字。出發前，我充滿期待：我會在這個美麗的地方得到進步嗎？

第一天看到了肇慶的夜景，真的很美麗，特別是七星湖。

第二天訓練，早上練跳遠，下午練跳高。當地體育場練跳遠的地方，可是穩穩妥妥的沙地呀！在那個地方，我們一開始就熱身了1600米。那位教練真是十分「可愛」，第一次見面就讓我瘦6磅……當然，我也會當仁不讓，要讓他瘦30斤！熱身時，三步跳「葉問式」起起落落……「要坐下去啊！不坐下去不算啦！」「這樣跑這樣跑這樣跑，別跑錯了啦！」在跳高時，教練教了很多技巧，讓我從之前的1米10跳到了1米25。啊，人生沒有極限，只有更進步的進步！

第三天起床，我已經可以感受到腿部肌肉以及肩部的疼痛。「啊！」這是我與同房兩個女生一起床的第一聲……早上的跳遠，依然是滿鞋子的黃土，因此，我把鞋子脫了跳遠，沙池真的很舒服，教練一直讓我們重複重複再重複，也讓我在那之中一直進步。「教練，是這樣嗎？」「對！很不錯！就是這樣啦！」之前我對助跑跳遠一無所知，隨便跳跳十分差，但這次訓練營中，為我帶來很大的突破。下午，教練教導推鉛球……

第四天，最後一天了，十分不捨。教練為了彌補前一天的跳高訓練，把我們從體育場載到了訓練場。真感動！早上不僅練習了跳高，還去了他們的健身室進行健身器材訓練。嗯……教練說的6磅我還記得！

這次的訓練營收穫很多，學習了突破自我，不必畏懼，勇敢面對。實在對運動員們充滿著敬佩，因為訓練真的很累！樂在苦中，來年再見。
