Second 2010 Summer Camp draws to a close

The second 2010 Asian University Summer Camp is almost over now, and some of the campers have written about their experiences.

We’re campers in English summer camp at Asian University. Our names are Toh, Aeiy and Aun. We came here because we want to practice our English language, meet new friends and live with new people which has made us adapt our behavior. In this summer camp, we learn and do many activities together from Monday to Friday. On Saturday night we have parties and dress up ourselves for theme parties and we have a lot of fun. On Sundays we go outside to visit many places.

Last weekend, we had fun and went to Khao Kheaw Open Zoo. We saw many kinds of animal. It was fantastic! Then we went to Lotus in South Pattaya in the afternoon. We went with our friends and bought things that we needed together. We had a great time at camp and we won’t forget everyone!

We heard the news about the Summer Camp at Asian University so we thought that it is a good idea to spend our summer to practice English, make new friends, learn to manage our lives. The things we like about the camp are the classrooms, friends, teachers and more. There are a lot of activities such as sports, cooking, dancing, arts. On Sundays we have an excursion, we went to Jomtien Beach, Khao Kheaw Open Zoo and the department store. On weekdays we have English, Math, and IT classes and sometimes we have a movie night to learn English. On Saturday night we have a party. We have to dress up ourselves by the theme, so we enjoyed about dress up and party so much.

Last week we went to Khao Kheaw Open Zoo. We learn more about the animal so we take the tour car to see all of the animals. We can touch the snake and two baby bearcats. Then we went to Tesco Lotus to buy useful things. Two weekends ago we went to Jomtien Beach, we cleaned the rubbish off the beach and some campers swam in the sea. After that, we went to Central Festival to buy things. We all had a good time together.

We get a lot of English skills in speaking, reading and writing. We’ve made new friends and new experiences. We will never forget this camp!

Summer Campers want to save the world!

The first of Asian University’s two annual Summer Camps is under way with nearly eighty youngsters improving their English and having fun. Last weekend the students went to Jomtien Beach and two of the students have written the following about their trip.

“In the weekend, the students of Asian University and me went to Jomtien Beach. We went to Jomtien Beach to picked up litter on the Jomtien, because we wanted to save the world. Now, the world is in Global Warming. We wanted to save the nature in the world. In there after we picked up litter on the beach, teacher and students go to swim but me didn't because I did not carry the swimsuit but my friend went to swim in the sea and he was swim with teacher and TA. After we swam we ate lunch in the beach but we put the litter in the bin because we want to save the world.

After that, we went to the Central Festival Pattaya to relax some students went to Japanese restaurant to ate some Japanese food and some one went to bought some things to family or friend and by some things to next Saturday Korean theme in the party night. Some students went to bowling but I and my friends went to sport shop to bought football. After we bought I went to bought some thing for me like T-shirt and my friend bought CD and model car.

After we went back to school and we watched 2012 movie and I want to be scientist and my friend wants to be a pilot when we grow up and we want to save the human race and we can save the world now by we picked the litter to the bin or use plastic bag.”

Another group of students reported their day out like this:

“We came to Summer Camp at Asian University to study and practice English. We also make friends and meet TA (Teacher Assistant) and teachers. They are very nice and kind.

The first week was very fun. There were a lot of activities such as sports, movie nights and theme party. At night, TA took us to special activities such as dancing, sports and IT. In the class, the teachers let us play games and teach about world flags, superheroes and watch movies. The food is delicious. We enjoy it very much.

On Sunday morning, the TAs took us to Jomtien Beach to clean-up the beach and go swimming. We got many plastic bags, trash and dead fish. In the afternoon, we went to Central Festival Pattaya. The TAs let us buy accessories for the Korean Theme party night next week.

We think if anyone has a chance you should join this camp. You will get a lot of knowledge and it's really fun!”

Earth Messages by multimedia students

Robert reflected in Guitar's mirrors

Art's tree

As part of their course on art and design practice, the BA Multimedia Students at Asian University were given an assignment to produce character themed art work in the university grounds. The objectives include using the aesthetic qualities which derive from the natural environment. As Asian University is located (on Highway 331) on a large plot of land, with a variety of open space and trees, as well as flat and steeply sloping areas, there was plenty of choice.

Quan's installation

Much imaginative work has been created, and the photos show some of the results.

May has help from a friend.

Chad's middle path

The theme choices they made were from a list of attributes, such as Virtue, Compassion, Integrity, Benevolence, Humility and Flexibility and their opposites.

M's work

The students each prepared their project proposals, chose a suitable site, and assembled the necessary materials to construct the exhibits. They then set to work, with a little help from their friends, to put together the installations.

Arm's work

The Earth Messages will remain on display until the end of March.
