The short film recorded the students' colorful life in Beijing for two weeks, from studying and experiencing at the High w88 casino Affiliated to the University of International w88, to visiting the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and other historical sites. The students and teachers reviewed the interesting moments of the summer camp. Laughter rang out from time to time. When the students' own faces appeared on the screen, they responded with excited applause and shouts. The atmosphere was very warm. In the past two weeks, 43 students from Anglo European w88 casino and St Magdalene Academy in the UK experienced their first trip to China and opened up a new international perspective.
Subsequently, the summer camp students showed their Chinese learning achievements and feelings in the past two weeks to the teachers and students in a lively and interesting form of chorus, song and dance. The witty and cute song "Sorry, My Chinese Is Not Good" won applause from the audience. Two student representatives expressed their gratitude to the teaching assistants and other faculty and staff during the summer camp activities in Chinese that was unfamiliar but full of sincerity. For the final group song and dance, the students chose the popular single "Seaweed Dance" in China, which was also one of the welcome programs for Chinese volunteers at the opening ceremony. The exaggerated dance, funny music, and the students' amazing and enthusiastic performances fully demonstrated the brand-new language and cultural knowledge they have learned in China during the two weeks.

In his speech, Teng Lianshuai first congratulated the summer camp students for successfully completing this language and culture experience. He said that Hanban, as an important institution that provides Chinese language, culture and educational resources to countries around the world, can not only enhance people’s understanding of Chinese language and culture, but also promote friendly relations between countries and China. Teng Lianshuai said that the Confucius Institute has been established in the UKThere are 29 Confucius Institutes and 156 Confucius Classrooms, and about 500 Chinese teachers are teaching and disseminating Chinese language and culture in the UK. They have considerable influence on scholarships, summer camps and various activities for students coming to China. I hope that this recommendation project in cooperation with the British Council can continue to create more achievements in the next three years. "I hope that everyone can become the ambassadors of Chinese and British cultures through the bridge of Chinese communication!"

We also welcome students to come to the University of International w88 and Economics for study and exchange in the future.
