Hi everyone, we're from team 1. My name is Yoyo. (R: My name is Rainbow.)
Rainbow: At July 24th we went to visit Franklin Institute named after the America Scientist and Statesman, Benjamin Franklin. The most recognizable part of the Franklin Institute Science center is the Franklin Institute Science Museum which serves to inspire an understanding of and passion for science and technology learning.
Yoyo: The museum was amazing, those permanent exhibitions such as electricity or changing earth as well as the periodic exhibition amazing machine and two different movies that we watched impressed me both for its simplicity of understand and the deepness of its explanations. One of my favorite exhibitions was the "Mirror Maze".
The "Mirror Maze" is a giant maze made of hundreds of mirrors that can reflect seemly infinite repeating pattern of the room therefore puzzle the people inside. This exhibition inspired us to discover the natural mathematical patterns around us and how they may reveal the world's most hidden secrets.
Rainbow: "Your Brain" explores the physiology and neurology of our most remarkable organ. The exhibit includes and 18-foot-tall Luckey Climber Climbing structure that simulates ueural pathways sending messages, and an area to discuss question of neurosciences ethics and etc.
It made me feel surprised to see Terra-cotta Warriors here. I ever saw the Terra-cotta Warriors in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in Xi'an Shanxi province China, it shocked me at my first sight. When I saw them again here, I was still moved by the extensive and profound ancient civilzation of china.
Yoyo: Franklin Institute Science Museum let us realized the power of technology and let us know that there are too many unknown fields waiting us to explore. We should learn hard and hope in the future we can use our knowledge to benefit the mankind.

Yesterday, we went to Princeton University which was founded in 1746 in New Jersey. According to the conductor, there is genius studying in this university. So I surfed the Internet. I was shocked. There is a total of 41 Nobel Prize Winners, 10 of the world's top computer prize winner. 14 of the world's highest mathematics laureates. It has many old buildings such as the cathedral art museum and so on. They are all very spectacular. There are also many strange sculpture. I think one of it is a broken clock of walking. It warns people don't stop and wait, or you will fall behind, it's image. It has beautiful scenery, clean air and giant trees. You can sit on the chair and shade under the trees. It's enjoyable and you can reduce stress after hard working.

Hello everyone, my name is Haitian Ye.
I'm a grade six student. I'm from Shanghai Ping He International School. I have many hobby. Like soccer, basketball, piano. I'm very honored to have a opportunity to come to the United States to participate in the game, although didn't get an ideal result, but I still have a lot of harvest.
So now, I will talk about the Relay Round. In fact, before the game, I was not confident. After the first round, no one got correct answer. But at the second round, my team got correct answer and got 50 points. Everyone was excited we changed our answers, keep thinking the third round's countermeasures. We changed a little bit about the answer sequences, and ready to begin with confidence. And then, somehow, our group guessed the right answer at five minutes. It's a big surprise that we got 100 points and the first place of this competition in Grade 6 and 7. We were all thrilled. This is our team's.

These days, we had a lot of lectures and we learnt a lot of knowledge. Such as the AIME Meditations, counting faces of polytopes and many more. But I think the most interesting lectures the Loopy Polyhedral. I have 5 reasons to prove I said.
The first reason is I never it and I know it until I had the lecture.
Secondly, we developed our spatial visualization ability and we made them by ourselves with our mind, it made us more impressive.
The third reason is let us understood more about geometry because we usually talk about the geometry of the plane, and we seldom talk about the solid geometry.
The last reason is the activity inspired us and we probably will be interested in solve geometric questions. So, I think that lecture was interesting. So much for my speech, thanks.

Hello everyone, my name is Bobby. I'm going to talk about what we usually do during our free time. We have a recess after every lecture for about 20 minutes. And what we do during the time? Most of us play video game or playing phone like me. We start playing our phone at once as soon as we took out our phone from the pocket. There are also many people like to play cards during recess. Not that kind of normal cards game. We throw cards and race with others of who can throw cards better and make card fly longer.
Part of us chat with friends, and also making some new friends, talk about habbit, favorite food, kind like that.
Then, what should we do if we are hungry or thirsty? There are two water lounters upstairs and two vending machine which is a machine that we can buy some snacks like chip and drink like Pepsi color.
Some of us is confusing about some questions, we ask professor about it and solve the confusion together. We feed better if we return without confusion.
At noon, and in the evening. We have a long break for about 1 hour. We can take a rest in our room and have lunch and dinner. I often play phone with my friend or playing cards, normal cards like twenty-four points. That's all my speech, thank you.
