Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.
King's Art Centre
A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend tees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.
You could attend a class teaching you how to 'learn from the masters' or get more creative with paint ---- free of charge.
The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.
The Botanic Garden
The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.
The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.
Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.
The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called 'Hissing Sid' is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.
Byron's Pool
Many stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University, Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of "mess and drunkenness". However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his roans. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.
It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron's Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don't trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf- ----over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.

President John Kennedy was a reader and writer.President Lyndon Johnson was a listener.President Johnson didn’t do as well as he could in the White House because he thought he had to follow Kennedy’s way of learning and absorb everything through writing.As well written as those reports were, he couldn’t understand them as well as Kennedy.It wasn’t until many years after the White House that Johnson recognized what type of learner he was.Now, all we can do is think of the possibilities of how different the United States would be right now if he learned sooner.

Eisenhower was a reader and writer.During the war, Eisenhower insisted that all questions be presented in writing before each press event.His press events, outstanding and memorable because of his ability in writing, opened his path to Washington.In Washington, Eisenhower, now required to be a listener and respond right away, found it very difficult to learn and think.His country no longer had the full benefit of his evolutionary(渐进的)learning intelligence.

Our school system teaches by listening and reading and not writing.This is why many writers’ in high school and college do poorly in lecture-type classes.When asked to test based on lecture, they usually receive an unsatisfactory grade for their level.When allowed to read and hand in a report, they do well.When permitted to process the information in writing, they add to classroom conversations in outstanding ways, many times moving the information in evolutionary new ways or depths.
