1 . Every year, thousands of K-12 students visit the University of Georgia (UGA) through the Experience UGA program. Hosting these students is made possible by the Experience UGA ambassadors (大使), a team of UGA students trained to support the program. They help create and support the field trips and introduce school children to college with interactive and educational visits that are grade-level specific. For example, every second grade group tours the Ramsey Student Center to learn about health-related topics, and all seventh graders explore UGArden to learn about nutrition and agriculture.
“Each year I realize the impact I’m making on students,” said Leslie Oroyemi, who is beginning her third year as an Experience UGA ambassador. “I love reaching younger populations and engaging with them. It’s nice to see them grow and discover different interests.”
This was the first year that Oroyemi has been an ambassador for second grade trips, and she said it has become her favorite. Her favorite part of the day is teaching second graders how easily germs (病菌) spread through a game of tag (捉人游戏) — those with “germs” have chalk on their hands and go around trying to touch and “infect” others. The kids then learn how important hand washing is to prevent the spread of germs.
Camille Holcomb is beginning her second year as an ambassador. She said working with different ages means connecting with them differently. The second graders are excited about everything, while the seventh graders are more reserved (保守的). Holcomb learned that connecting with the older students works best in between the activities — being personable and asking questions while walking around campus. Holcomb also learned that some friendly competition helps engage the more reserved students.
“Each ambassador is very fervent about giving back to the community and holds a special skill that contributes to creating a wonderful experience for students during each grade level trip,” said Aiyana Egins, coordinator of Experience UGA. “I look forward to seeing the impact they will have on students this year.”

①A Teacher’s Diary
April 14
I put Sharla, Tony, and Lee together to make a volcano (火山). I knew they weren’t good friends, and I encouraged all my students to learn to work together.
Something blew up! One looked mad, one looked sad, and one was nearly in tears. They didn’t agree with each other. Oh, dear!
I calmed them down. But they couldn’t agree on even the base for the volcano, and Tony didn’t want to touch the paste (浆糊).
I wondered if I had made a big mistake. Maybe this was one group who couldn’t work together.
②A Student’s Diary
April 16
Yesterday, Mrs. Holt made us stay behind so we could finish planning our volcano. Anyway, we finally moved ahead with our project.
I was making my side smooth. Tony just watched (unfair). I told Lee to smooth out her side, too. “No, Sharla, it should look like a real mountain,” she said just as if she were the boss. As a result of the whole thing going downhill, we ended up making no progress the whole day.
③The Show Time
The last workday for the project came.
“Is there a problem?” Mrs. Holt knew well there was a problem. She wanted them to put it in their own words, though.
“Well, I think the volcano should be smooth.” Sharla began.
“And,” jumped in Lee, “it should look rocky, like a real mountain.”
“I see. What do you think, Tony?” Mrs. Holt waited.
“Well, I think it would have lava (岩浆) running down.”
“Hey, a great idea!” cut in Sharla, “The lava would be smooth. Right Mrs. Holt?”
Sharla continued. “The other side without lava would look rocky. Right?”
Tony caught on. “So one side can be smooth, and the other rocky. Come on, you guys, let’s go finish!”
It was the show time._______________
1. 请把划线部分翻译为汉语。As a result of the whole thing going downhill, we ended up making no progress the whole day.
