大家好，我是上海燎原双语学校国际高中生刘洁妮，今天我想和大家分享我的2017美国之行：

在美国罗德岛设计学院学习期间，我度过了一段令人难忘的时光。我用两周的时间学习了字体设计和基础绘画，也为我们的学校精心设计了logo。

I had a memorable experience in America when I studied art in Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). I spent two weeks learning loving letters and mental drawing. I also designed a logo for our school.

我每天早上7点半起床，坐校车去RISD学习3个小时，再然后回到国际学生宿舍然后继续领导力课程的学习。晚上8点到10点是自由时间，我会在画室画画，或者在地下室玩牌。除此之外，我还抽空去参观了一些久负盛名的大学，比如布朗大学、纽约视觉艺术大学，帕森斯设计学院和普瑞特艺术学院。

Every morning, I woke up at 7:30 a.m. Then, I went to RISD to study for three hours. After that, I went back to RIA (the dorm for international students) and continued the leadership program. From 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., I enjoyed my free time. I could either draw in the art room or play card games in the basement. Besides, l also visited several prestigious universities such as Brown, SVA, Parsons and Pratt.

最令我难忘的是我在那里遇到的人。我们总是有很多话可以聊，一起笑一起玩。有时，我们的思考方式在别人眼里是奇怪而难以理解的，但是当我们遇到对方的时候，我们可以很迅速地知道对方在想什么。我觉得这里的学生都是很棒的艺术家和设计师，事实上我很喜欢和他们相处。我们创造的每一件艺术品都特别有意思。能在这里认识来自中国各地的朋友，我感到非常幸运。希望在不久的将来，我们都能进入理想的学校，再次在美国相遇。

The most unforgettable things are the people I met there. We always had lots of things to say, and we laughed and played. Sometimes, our way of thinking in other people’s opinion is strange and unbelievable. But when we met each other, we can get each other’s point quickly. I think students here are very great artists and designers. Actually, I really enjoy staying with these people. Every piece of work we created is amazingly interesting. It is very lucky and nice to meet these friends from different parts of China. I really hope we can meet again in America in our dream school before long.
