I met lots of new friend and great teachers in this two weeks. Before I felt that two weeks is that long. However , when I finished the course it was a blink of an eye.
The beautiful history of Cambridge is engraved in my mind. I hope I can go there with you if I have the opportunity.

It was a great honour for I to be the team leader. I felt a lot of pressure but also responsibility at the beginning. It turned out that it was not easy to be a leader. Fortunately, the team members were very strong.
The last group project presentation was very interesting, thanks to my teammates.
