The Chinese Department of the Secondary Division brought Grade 7 students to Shanghai East China Normal University (ECNU) during the Easter holiday from April 16 to 22, 2019 to participate in the Writing Skill Enhancement Workshop and Chinese Cultural Study Trip.

Taught by ECNU’s experienced professors, various approaches, such as debate, reading, and attending lesson with ECNU students, were adopted in the workshop to enhance students' interest and skill of learning Putonghua and Chinese writing.

The group of forty students went to Yu Garden, one of the famous tourist attractions in Shanghai, to explore the elegant garden design and beautiful landscape. They also used the methods they learned in the workshop to record or share their feelings. In addition, the students visited ECNU’s History Museum.
