The following has been translated from Simplified Chinese. It has been edited for clarity and flow.
On June 18, the weather was fine, the breeze blew, and Shane English School’s students and parents followed the foreign teacher Aaron’s lead to the islands near Shengxiwan to experience the fun of sailing.
There was blue sky, sea, a breeze, and seagulls. It seemed sailing was more than a leisure activity. It embodied the harmony between man and nature and between human wisdom and strength.
In the course of the sailing experience, the children and Aaron learned about hull structure, a sailor knot, the sail, the helm, and seagulls. These have given the children a great interest and affection for the sea. We have said that in the future will better cherish marine resources and protect the marine environment.
Of course, English learning was also very important, so students chatted with Aaron and everyone enjoyed themselves. The children used English to express themselves for navigation, and we all had something more to say.
There is an old saying [translated… really]: Pics or it didn’t happen. We feel the joy of sailing brought us a very special truth, as you can see in our photos.
Let’s learn from professional coaches how to tie knots!
We’re ready to go! We’re ready to go to sea!
Let’s take sail! Work with coaches at the helm!
There are many wonderful photos that we hope others don’t regret missing the event (too much). In the near future, Shane English School Dalian will have an even better event presented to everyone, and we look forward to everyone involved!

6月18日，天气晴朗，微风阵阵，夏恩英语的小朋友和家长们在外教老师Aaron的带领下，一起来到小平岛圣西湾体验帆船航海的乐趣。
蓝天、大海、清风、海鸥，看起来航海是悠哉愉快的休闲活动，但它体现的却是人与自然的和谐共生以及人类的智慧和力量。
在这次体验帆船航海的过程中孩子们和Aaron老师一起学习了船体结构、打水手结、升帆、掌舵，还喂了海鸥。这些都让孩子们对大海产生了浓厚的兴趣和感情。大家纷纷表示以后一定会更加珍惜海洋资源、保护海洋环境。
当然英语学习也很重要，今天爱聊的Aaron老师就和大家一起玩的很开心。孩子们都用英文表达了这次航海的感受，大家都觉得意犹未尽。
下面就不再多说了，有图有真相，这就给大家上图，我们一起感受航海带来的快乐吧。
和专业教练学习打水手结。
整装待发，准备出海！
我们一起升帆啦~
和教练一起学习掌舵！
活动的精彩照片还有很多，没有参加这次活动的同学和小朋友们是不是有点遗憾呢？没有关系，大连夏恩英语还会有更好的活动呈现给大家，期待大家参与！
