Question

【题目】Imagine sailing to over twenty different ports(港口)around the world while you are studying subjects you love! Impossible? Well, that is what the students in Class Afloat do.

Class Afloat is a Canadian school on a tall ship! The ship is sixty-four metres long and nine metres wide and it can take up to sixty students. The classrooms are well-equipped(设备精良)and comfortable and there's even a library! There is no need to know anything about sailing-students can learn on the ship.

Not all the students are Canadian-there's usually a mix of nationalities(国籍).This year, there are also students from Mexico, the USA, Germany and Turkey. There's a mix of ages too. There are secondary school students-first year university students and students who are doing a gap year(休学年)programme.

The teachers design special study programmes for each student. Because the school is a ship, you can do some exciting courses-for example, Marine Biology(studying the animals and plants in the sea) and History or Geography courses about the places you visit. Students also learn all about sailing! All the classes are in English, so you must have a good level of English.

Students don't just study. They must also clean, cook and sail the ship, in their free time, students can rest, read or watch a film. In the evenings, they relax with friends, have club meetings and sometimes they have a karaoke night.

Every sixteen to twenty days, the ship stops in a port for three to six days. In port there're lots to do-home stays, camping trips, museum tours, cultural events, hiking, etc. They also go snorkeling and do other water sports. Parents can meet up with the students in one port every term.

Students also take part in two volunteer programmes in Senegal(塞内加尔)and the Dominican Republic(多明尼加共和国). They help local families in different ways, for example, with basic health matters or starting a business. Students learn how, with just a little money and time, they can make changes that improve other people's lives.
