Since the arrival of exchange students in the United States, the international academic exchange program has spread all over the school, and everyone knows about it now, but it was only known to a small group of people. When everyone learned that the list of exchange students to the United States had not yet been finalized, they immediately lost their minds, and after returning home, they reported the matter to their respective parents, and expressed their strong desire to go abroad.

Now it is not the same as before, in the past, everyone had a sense of fear of foreign countries. However, after the reform and opening up, all kinds of avant-garde and trendy things abroad gradually began to become popular in China, accompanied by various trends of thought and customs. Due to the disparity between science and technology and national strength, a trend of foreign thought has gradually formed in China, and basically everyone's first reaction to foreign things is good, and it seems that even the moon abroad is rounder than the domestic one.

What's more, this time it is a policy encouraged by the state.

Some well-informed people have inquired clearly, the "International Student Exchange Program" began after the Second World War, and the main purpose is to strengthen exchanges between different countries in the world, enhance understanding, cultural communication and academic exchanges between countries, and promote friendly exchanges between countries.

In foreign countries, this plan has long been in full swing, and everyone has the opportunity to choose their favorite country. It's just that China joined this program relatively late, and has not officially become a member of it until now, and this time it is only a pilot.

Exchange students attend designated schools abroad, make new friends, study prescribed subjects, and participate in school club activities.

Not only can you gain different experiences in different education systems, but also through a year of exchange abroad, students can hone their abilities in all aspects and enrich their life experience. Even if you don't learn anything, you can at least speak your own foreign language in such an environment, and that alone is attractive enough.

In addition, in the initial pilot of this time, the state is fully responsible for the various expenses of the school, and the object of exchange is the United States, which undoubtedly increases the attractiveness of this international exchange and exchange.

So, when the parents realized that this opportunity was very rare and could bring great benefits to their children, they began to use their various connections to fight for a place.

Xu Wenjing was not very interested in this matter, so she didn't tell her parents, but in the end, her parents learned about it from other channels, and asked her casually, and when they saw that their daughter was not interested, they didn't mention it again. At their height, they don't want to compete with others for this kind of place in this kind of thing, if their daughter really wants to go, it is better to study abroad directly.

When Xu Wenjing came to school the next day, many people listened to her and wondered if she planned to go.

Among these people, some regard her as a potential competitor, after all, Xu Wenjing is too good, and it seems that her family background is also very unusual, if she wants to go, it is estimated that she will not leave ten. When they learned that Xu Wenjing was not interested in this, they were naturally relieved in their hearts, there were so many places, and now it was equivalent to another place.

Others are Xu Wenjing's suitors and crushes, their meaning is very clear, if Xu Wenjing decides to go, then they will do their best to fight for it, if they don't plan to go, then they don't have to bother with these thoughts. You know, a year is not a short time, and who knows what will happen in a year?

Today, those students in the United States are still not specifically assigned to each class, but they are taken on campus tours by special personnel, and then they are assigned to various Chinese families to start their exchange trips according to their specific conditions.

Beijing S Middle School is a first-class high school in China, and the software and hardware conditions will naturally not be bad. Since its establishment in 1907, the campus has been expanded and renovated many times, and is generally one of the few exemplary high schools in the country.

Xu Wenjing still did not go to class today, but accompanied everyone to visit the science and technology building, library, canteen, and laboratory all the way......

This time I changed the translator, although it was still a bit troublesome, but the communication was relatively smooth.

During the conversation, Cook accidentally learned from the student representative that there was actually an amateur radio amateur club in the school, and he immediately became interested, for him, rather than looking at how good the school's equipment is, it is better to look at some clubs or clubs organized by the students themselves.

So at his strong request, everyone had to change the original established route and walk towards the club instead.

This radio amateur club, a physics teacher-led, student-organized club, had all the equipment brought from home by the students themselves, and the school had just lent them a small, abandoned office. During this time, the relevant leaders of the school were planning to remove this club, because they were worried that it would affect the students' learning and test scores, but they did not expect it to come in handy at this time.

Cook is a veteran ham and is very skilled in the relevant techniques. When he saw the station in S, he sat directly on the radio and operated it, the performance of this radio station was not bad, and the antenna effect was barely acceptable, Cook in front of everyone, and a few hams in the United States made a call to communicate.

When he saw the QSL cards on the walls of the room, as well as some match records, he praised the members of the club. On the spot, two exchange students from the United States offered to join the club because they were also hams and had made their own call signs.

However, it is a pity that among the members of the entire club, only Xu Wenjing has his own independent call sign, and the others usually use the club's collective call sign, and have not yet applied for their own private call sign.

Although Xu Wenjing has been accompanying them, sometimes as a reporter for the school news agency, and sometimes as the student representative in charge of the school's reception, she and Cook have not communicated much, on the one hand, because she does not understand Cook's New York accent, and on the other hand, because there are more students rushing to talk to Cook, and she does not want to join in the excitement.

However, as the only ham in the amateur radio amateur club in S with its own call sign, Cook asked to exchange QSL communication cards with each other as a souvenir.

Although she didn't carry her cards with her like Cook did, she had left a few in the clubroom, so the two signed each other their call signs and various parameters.

Cook took out a small metal box from his pocket that resembled a business card holder, and said, "My luck seems to be good, I just arrived in the capital, and I met two ham friends, which is a good start." ”

Although China has a large population, the number of hams is relatively scarce, and when he usually communicates, he encounters hams from other countries more frequently than China. However, he found that this perception seemed to need to be changed, and the development of ham in China seemed to be very good, and the younger generation was growing up very quickly.

Xu Wenjing asked casually: "I wonder who was the first ham that Mr. Cook met after coming to China?" ”

Cook smiled and replied, "He's younger than you, look, it's his QSL card." ”

“bd7xzz！！” After Xu Wenjing saw the card in his hand, he couldn't help but exclaim.
