And welcome back, summer vacation has arrived and many international
students return home to enjoy their summer time, but some choose
to stay and spend the holidays in a very different way. Liu
Ming reports.
23 years old Ms Sophia Bouvand [a student with PRC Study] is
a French student, who studies in Beijing, she keeps herself busy
during the summer break with an internship at a HongKong based
company. Sophia plans to pursue a career in international trade
when she completes her schooling.
Bouvand states in Chinese, "More and more western companies
are doing business with China. There will be lots of opportunities
here. So I want to have some work experience and improve my Chinese
during the summer holidays."
American Jeanne Pilkerton [student with PRC Study] will spend
her holidays traveling throughout China with her parents. She
is eager to share the experience with her family who will be
making their first trip to China.
Sally Ann Pilkerton [Mother of Jeanne Pilkerton] states, " We've
been to the Great Wall in Beijing. We are going to Shanghai which
we are very excited about. We will spend about 5 days in Shanghai
and we will go back to the States. We are going to see the gardens
over in Shanghai, and do the touring and see the acrobatic show
one evening, which we are looking forward to бн and we've had
a great time in Beijing."
In recent years, a raising number of international students
have chosen to pursue careers in China. Many of them are even
thinking of having families in the country.
Reporter Liu Ming [CCTV9] states, "For many foreign students,
China is mysterious and well beyond their grasp. Indeed the two
months holiday may not be long enough to make their Chinese fluent.
But their impressions of the country will surely have a lasting
impact."
