我的德国好朋友Charlotte
六（4）班 苏布尔
从美国的底特律CISV回来已经一个月了，我还常常想着我在那里交的好朋友Charlotte,想着我们在一起度过的一个月的美好时光。
Charlotte是个标准的美女， 她长着一头长长的、垂直的金发，那双迷人的碧眼大大的。不过最迷人、可爱的是她那红红的脸颊，是那种自然、健康的红，再配上她那红红的嘴唇，可爱极了。
记得我们到营地不久刚好是美国的国庆节，在7月4日那个美丽的黄昏，我们全体营员在营地旁边的湖堤上坐著等待美国底特律州为庆祝国庆的烟花表演。由于我们中国代表团来得最晚，来到时基本没什么位置了，我正低头在人与人的空隙中找座位——— “Hi, you can sit here.”一个声音忽然向我传来，我寻声一看，一个金发女孩正往旁边挪挪身子，边说边用手拍了拍挤出来的位置，我向她道了谢便在她身边坐下来。趁着烟花表演还没开始，我们聊了起来，我问她“Where are you from?”“Kiel”， 她回答，然后善解人意地问我知不知道那个地方，我摇摇头，她告诉我Kiel是在Hamburg 的附近，在接下来的交谈中我知道了她叫Charlotte，来自德国的基尔，从那时起，我们就成为了好朋友，这种感觉很奇怪，我到现在也是这样想的，是上帝安排的吧！
在营地里，我们几乎是形影不离的朋友，记得有一次临近周末了，我们准备迎接第二次homestay, 工作人员让我们每个人在一张纸写下自己理想的homestay 同伴，一共可以写3个，第一个，最理想的；第二个，次要些的；第三个，再次要些的。开始写了，第一个在我的脑海里跳出来的就是Charlotte，于是我朝Charlotte坐的地方望了望，你猜怎么了!Charlotte和我同时抬起了头，并朝我望来，我们俩使了一下眼色，我们互相明白了这个意思，便在纸上No. 1的地方写下对方的名字。事后我们互相交换了意见，啊哈！我们都把对方的名字写在第一位，看来工作人员肯定会把我们安排在同一个家庭homestay 了！可是事实却不是这样，我们没被安排在同一家庭，那会，我们都在那伤心了好一会，Charlotte 说： “I am a little sad that we can’t go together.” “Me too.” 我也惋惜地说，我们俩想的是一样的。
Charlotte是个乐于助人的女孩，几乎每一天在等待洗澡的时候我都会去Charlotte的房间，坐在她的床上跟她一起看书或聊天。每次她都会拿出一些小零食和我分享，如有德国国旗黑、红、黄三色的QQ糖等。当然，Charlotte的大方也不只是体现在物质方面，有时候我请教她一些关于生活上的问题她会大方地把自己的经历与我分享，告诉我德国的同龄孩子是怎样的。比如说遇到困难时，自己应该先主动帮助别人，这样别人才会认可你。我从她那里学到了很多做人的道理。
Charlotte的团体意识也令我感动。有一次， 我们在营地里做一个叫“Dress up leader” 的游戏，我们被分为8个组，每个组组员可以利用任何材料把分配到自己组的老师装扮一个超人。我和Charlotte被分到了同一组，我们被分配到的leader是Brad。经过半个多小时的讨论，我们决定把Brad打扮成一个Green Man (绿色超人)，我们要把Brad穿打扮得通身绿色，每个组员都尽自己的力量拿出自己带有绿色的东西，Tere拿出了她带绿色星星的背心，Irer 拿出他的绿色短裤，Charlette 拿出了她的绿袋子，我拿出了花草床单，但是有一个女生不愿意献出自己的绿围巾，我们都觉得她的绿围巾会给Green Man增色不少，但她还是不愿意，原因是她拍弄脏了，Charllete 就说；“没关系啦！这也是为了集体啊！你的这条漂亮的绿围巾会让大家看到华贵的Green Man 而感到快乐的。”这话讲得多好！
我喜欢Charlotte，她乐于助人，开朗大方，可爱却又成熟，最重要的是，她是我学习的榜样。
An Unforgettable Game
Hermione Su (Class4 Grade5)
During the time in CISV, we did lots of games. All the games have given us important lessons. One of them called Peace-War-Peace was especially unforgettable.
One day, our village director Jon said we were going to build a city with boxes, bottles and some paper. He divided us into 4 groups. Each group consisted of 11 members. He named the four groups as Love, Heart, Peace and Soul. I was in Soul. Jon told us after all the cities were finished, each group would act as a judge and gave a score to the other group. The full score was 25 and the lowest was 0.
Our group worked very hard to build our city. Our city had a brown church, a black apartment called ‘Life Houses’, a yellow city tower and a beautiful little park. When we finished, we went to give a score to the Hearts. The Hearts had a park, a river, a shopping mall, houses and even an airport. I thought it was a nice city. We gave them 20 points. Just then, Helena, one of our group members over heard that the Peace only gave our city 7 points. Oh, 7 points! Some people in our group were very angry. But some other people like Charlotte and Hedvig were calm. They thought we should respect the other’s decision even though they gave us only 7 points. Suddenly a messenger came and he said the Peace people destroyed our Soul city. They used their feet, hands to hit the buildings. When we heard that, some boys in our group were raged. They started to kick the Heart city. I used my feet to step on the building, too. Their flags were broken, their tall buildings were gone…… Finally all the city was destroyed. At that time, Charlotte and some other girls tries to stop us. Charlotte said, “ Don’t do that. It is silly to do that!” I said angrily’ “Why?” “Because they worked hard to build their city, they will be sad when they see it is destroyed.” “But the Peace destroyed our city!” I was still angry. “They are not right. You can talk to them. But if you destroy their city, you will be just like them.” Charlotte was really a nice girl! Suddenly, someone in our group said we had made a mistake because it was Peace destroyed our city, but we destroyed Heart’s city so the boys ran quickly to Peace’s city and wanted to take revenge by kicking their buildings away. But they were stopped by the leaders and the judges who were from the Love city. The boys came back unhappily.
Later, Jon called us together. He cried, “That’s not what the CISV should do!” He put his hands on his head. We understood we made a mistake, but it was no use. We had already done that. Finally, Jon asked us to go back to our own city and fix it, but not to use any tape. When I went back to see our city, I cried. It was completely destroyed. Most of the buildings were in the rubbish bin. It was so terrible! “Why did they do that!” I asked Andy, one of our leaders. Andy replied, “No reason. Just like you. Soul destroyed the Heart’s city. It’s the same thing!” I thought about what he said. There was very important information in it.
While we were fixing our city, the Hearts came and they brought their buildings and some plants to our city. We and the Hearts built a new city together. After that, we took our buildings to the Hearts. Finally all the cities came to the Hearts and we built a large city together. When we saw that, everybody cried.
At the end, Jon concluded: “This is a game called Peace-War-Peace. After some people knew their city was destroyed, they started to destroy the other’s city. But I am happy that some people didn’t do that. Why? Because they think this will make other people unhappy though they have already destroyed their own city. Everybody, please think, if these are the real cities, and there are real people living in the cities, it would be terrible.” We were all touched by what Jon said.
I will never forget this game. It tells me the meaning of love and forgiveness. We need peace but not wars. We live on the same earth, we should understand and love each other, no matter we are living in different cities or different countries!
