☼HERITAGE
noun
<an inheritance>
After the OELP trip to China, I have certainly learnt a great deal about China's heritage! I have learnt that China has a rich and vibrant heritage and inheritance of knowledge and culture the past 5000+ years. There is a dilemma of cultural heritage conservation and economic development and now, I have learnt that not only economic development is important to a country, but heritage conservation is extremely vital as well. Heritage is important to preserve as firstly, heritage can give people a connection to certain social values, beliefs, religions and customs. This will allow them to identify with others of similar mindsets and backgrounds.
Secondly, cultural heritage can provide an automatic sense of unity and belonging within a group and allows us to understand our ancestors' generations, learning more about the history of our roots.
What can Singapore do to make the local arts scene more vibrant and to further develop our heritage? The government can encourage community participation and engagement and also provide non-ticketed and free attendance for heritage events, encouraging more to come forward.
☼教育
在树人中学，我们发现中国的同学比较有信心。例如，当他们的老师在课堂上提问时，他们都纷纷举手要回答。我们可以从他们学习，在课堂中用于发言和回答老师所问的问题。他们也十分友好，当看到我们时，他们会向我们挥手。
中国和新加坡的教育体系都十分相似；我们都有小学到大学的系统，也会分发功课和举办考试。可是，我发现中国的学风都较个人主义，学校里并没有许多小组专题作业；相反，新加坡学校里有很多小组专题作业。我认为这是良好的，因为这样，我们可以学习怎样与他人沟通，并欢迎不同的意见。这在日后我们踏进社会时，会有不少好处。
新加坡应如何从中国的教育体系学习？在中国，大多数学生都花费长时间来学习；这会培养他们辛勤吃苦的美德。我们如果学会在学校里有决心学习，以后在社会上我们也会有决心克服任何困难。
我以前曾认为新加坡的教育体系有点受限，因为我们每天都有大量功课，但见过中国的学校后，我对新加坡的教育体系感到十分满意。我们被给予大量的自由，甚至可以带手机上学。我学到，我们应该为我们所拥有的而感到满足和感激。
☼ECONOMY
After the OELP trip to China, I have learnt that China has one of the world's fastest-growing major economy. It is a global hub for manufacturing and exporting. China's economic importance has grown vastly and I believe that we should learn from their rapid economic development! What can Singapore learn from a rising China? Even at the market exchange rate, China overtook Japan in 2010 as the world's largest economy.
China has globalised and industrialisation plays a big role in it. In Shanghai, we saw many banks and hotels. All these are built as many foreigners come every day to China for business purposes which will boost China's economy. Hence it will only make sense if China has enough resources to host these businessmen. These international banks and hotels have attracted vast numbers of businessmen to come to China, hence helping to improve China's current economy.
☼历史
去过了上海博物馆，我对中国的历史的认知更加广泛了。我学到中国是一个历史悠久的国家，有超过5000多年的繁华历史。例如，传统陶瓷拥有历史文化的考古价值和艺术价值，都对中国的历史做出了贡献。
传统书法是中国汉字的书写艺术，也是在中国土生土长的艺术。那也是中国文化的基本要素。还有中国传统家具，具有中国古典风格。国画就是传统的绘画，是琴棋书画的四艺之一。
总之，在这一浸濡之旅上，我学到了许多关于中国历史的知识，真是让我获益不浅。
☼IDENTITY
I have gotten to know about China's traditional cultural values and national identity. I have certainly also learnt a lot more about contemporary China's way of life and to respect these customs and values which are quite different than what we are normally used to in Singapore.
China's identity is a truly unique and intriguing one! I really hope that I have more opportunities to learn more about China's identity in the future. :)
☼中国的文化
在这一浸濡之旅上，我更加认识到了中国的早期文化还有近代中国文化的发展。
我也加以了解了中国的习俗和中国人民的日常生活，如他们的服饰装扮风格和饮食。这次的OELP中国浸濡之旅真的使我们学到了许多。我们学会了接受与尊重与我们不同的文化。这次机会也使我们学会珍惜我们在新加坡所拥有的。我也很感激立化给我们这么一个难得的机会去中国进一步认识他们的风土人情，在多方面了解当代中国和它的悠久历史。
☼Thank you for reading!
