My research experience at MIT
 
Week 1：
 
Day 1：First Meeting And City Tour
 
      Today we have the first meeting at about 5:00 in the room X, with Ellen, Cindy, Edger and Our mentors F and K. Everyone's presentation is enough to know them generally. To get more familiar with each other, we should work together for some time.
 
      K introduces some points in architecture and urban design such as the environment, the transportation, the landscapes, and the protection of the old buildings and the construction of new ones.  He encourages us to choose the one we like. I'm interested in the relationship between environment and buildings.
 
      我们今天的第一次会议在房间里X，大约5:00与Ellen, Cindy, Edger和我们的导师F和K。每个人的陈述一般足以了解他们。为了彼此更加熟悉，我们应该在一起工作一段时间。导师Q介绍了一些点在建筑和城市设计如环境、交通、景观、和旧建筑保护与新建筑建设。他鼓励我们选择我们喜欢的。我对这个感兴趣。环境与建筑的关系。
 
 
      The city tour is very fantastic. The only pity is that I can't take photos.
Beside the Charles river, K tells two stories about the John Hancock tower. On the other side of the river, he tells us that in this side the bank is lower than the opposite. A linear park is designed to make the bank more safe and environmental friendly, and provide residents a place for entertainment and relaxing. The landscape is also fantastic and special. I notice that the water in Charles river is not as clean as I thought, it's blue when looked far away but black when looked near.
 
      城市旅游非常精彩。唯一的遗憾是我不能拍照。在查尔斯河，K讲述了故事。在河的另一边，他告诉我们，在这一边银行比对面低。直线公园是为了使银行更安全、更环保，为居民提供便利。娱乐休闲场所。这里的风景也很特别。我注意到查尔斯河的水不如我想的干净。当它看起来遥远时，它是蓝色的，但当它靠近时，它是黑色的。
 
      Then we turn into the blocks. The buildings here are special, with the body made by red bricks, and painted green as turquoise on the roof. The windows and doors are decorated gloriously. Every  house has a small yard. The sidewalks are special because their width is apt for human, not too narrow or too wide.
 
      然后我们变成街区。这里的建筑很特别，用红砖做的，屋顶涂成绿色。门窗装饰辉煌。每个房子都有一个小院子。人行道很特别，因为它们的宽度很合适，不要太窄或太宽。
 
      When we turn at one corner, the buildings become uniformed, with the fields which are in front of the buildings being public areas, and there are staircases to go down and go shopping. Because of the public areas, the sidewalks look wider than the former block but actually they are the same.
 
      当我们在拐角处转弯时，建筑物就成了统一的，建筑物前面的田地是公共区域，有楼梯可以下楼去买东西。由于公共区域，人行道看起来比前一个街区更宽，但实际上它们是一样的。
 
      We meet the next linear park in Commonwealth Avenue. It's peaceful , regarding the noise from the roads on its sides. I think it's a successful example that our Chinese cities can learn from. Though in China, the streets are far too wider. One of the advantages of this park is, the residents living along the streets can share the park very conveniently. And by the end of the linear park is a big park. It's the biggest park in Boston. If anyone want more space for activity, he or she can go to the big park safely. And the linear park doesn't occupy the place that placed for transportation.
 
      我们在英联邦大街上的下一个直线公园见面。它是和平的，关于从它的道路的噪音。我想这是一个中国城市可以借鉴的成功范例。虽然在中国，街道太宽。这个公园的优点之一，是的，住在街道上的居民可以很方便地共享公园。在直线公园的尽头是一个大公园。这是最大的波士顿公园。如果有人想要更多的活动空间，他或她可以安全地去大公园。线性公园不占地方，供运输用的。
 
      There are some other kinds of old buildings on the way, but the same thing is that they are decorated gloriously. The church is like the building in the fairy tales, and some buildings prefer to carve the names of the building on eaves.
 
      途中有一些其他类型的老建筑，但是相同的是，它们的装饰华丽的。教堂就像是建筑在童话里，有些建筑物更喜欢刻在屋檐上的建筑物的名字。
      There are so much things to think about from today's journey.
      今天的旅行有很多事情需要考虑。
 
 
Day2: Presentation of Some Tips In Rhino
 
      Today the presentations by my partners strike me because of their skills in the aesthetic aspects and their perfect performance in the research.  My English and bloatwares need improving, what I said in the self-introduction.
 
      今天，我的合作伙伴的演讲打动了我，因为他们在美学方面的技巧以及他们在研究。我的英语和软件需要改进，我在自我介绍中说了些什么。
 
      In the project meeting K give so many tips for us to make a simple model by Rhino, and he also gives us some methods to use Grasshopper in the urban planning.
 
      在项目会议上K给我们用Rhino做一个简单的模型，那么多的技巧，他也给了我们使用的一些方法城市规划中的Grasshopper。
 
   
Day3:GIS And Rhino
 
      Today we study how to use QGIS2.18 basically and create a map that can show the population of different towns in Massachusetts and the change of population, and also maps with other functions. It's funny and I think it can be very helpful for the analysis of use of land in specific areas.
 
      今天我们学习了如何使用qgis2.18基本上创建一个地图，可以显示马萨诸塞州不同的城镇人口和人口变化，以及与其他功能的映射。这很有趣，我想它对分析土地的使用是很有帮助的。具体领域。
      And we practice Rhino together and communicate with each other to know more about the operations.
      我们一起练习Rhino，互相交流，了解更多的操作。   
 
 
Day 4& Day5 ：The practice of new software
 
      These days we practice new skills of software like Rhino, and one of the plugins grasshopper in the series of Rhino. We also learn to use Streetlamp, Google map, Backslapper and etc. to set up the map we need.
 
      这些天我们练习像Rhino这样的新软件，还有Rhino系列中的一个插件grasshopper。我们也学会使用开放地图，谷歌地图，Backslapper软件等设置我们需要的地图。
 
      We will learn to create a 3D map that can be divided into different layers like buildings, green parks, water, roads and etc. It also can show the contours and the accurate height of the buildings. It will be really helpful for us to do analysis before we design.
 
      我们将学习创建一个三维地图，可以分为不同的层，如建筑物，绿色公园，水，道路等，它也可以显示。建筑物的等值线和准确高度。在设计之前对我们进行分析是很有帮助的。
      In addition, we do further research about the history of MIT and Harvard, and think about the reason why universities should establish their own cultures and spirits. We read two interesting passages to study the conceptions of field condition, landscape and infrastructure.
 
      此外，我们还对麻省理工学院和哈佛大学的历史作了进一步的研究，并思考了大学为什么要建立自己的大学。自己的文化和精神。我们读了两个有趣的段落来研究场地条件、景观和基础设施的概念。
      The ability to think positively and actively is the greatest thing I learned in this week. And I enjoy the time being with my partners.
 
      积极主动的思考能力是本周我学到的最棒的东西。我喜欢和我的伙伴在一起。
      PS: the model is just a simple one, I haven't found the right way to establish it yet, maybe I need several more hours to do it.
 
      备注：这个模型只是一个简单的模型，我还没有找到建立它的正确方法，也许我还需要几个小时来完成它。

      This week is a very important week for us all to come into a new world for landscape design and architecture redesign for the problem of sea level rising.  We work on the site analysis include the site, the scale, the sea level or the water condition, the contour line, the terrain of the land we choose, and the current buildings and facilities. Then we find problem about the site and come up with a new project that can probably solve the problem. This step maybe the most difficult but challenging. K shares many great examples of diagrams for analysis and tutorial for using professional access to do these works.
 
      这一周对我们所有人来说都是一个非常重要的一周，我们将为景观设计和建筑重新设计一个新的世界。海平面上升。我们对场地进行分析，包括场地、尺度、海平面或水状况、等高线、地形等。我们选择的土地和当前的建筑和设施。然后我们发现了这个网站的问题，并提出了一个新的解决方案。这一步可能是最困难但最有挑战性的一步。k的许多分析教程图伟大的例子，使用专业的访问来做这些工作。
 
      I thought about 3 layer roof park, but the problem related to the sea level arising may appear after 50 or 100 years ago. But I think the consideration for the future is necessary. Miss L and mentor K give me some ad vices to improve the project:
 
1. To think about the space under the roof.
2. To think about the connection between the buildings and between buildings and surrounding, especially the park system.
3. To consider more about the influence of flood and the change of water level.
4. To think about the filter problems.
 
      From now I will work on those questions and draw some diagrams. But the only pity is that my computer can't install PS even after I tried for several days. So I may prepare the diagrams by other useful software and by hands.
 
      我想到了3层屋顶公园，但与海平面上升有关的问题可能在50、100年前出现。但我认为考虑未来是必要的。L小姐和K导师给我一些建议来改善项目：
1. 想想屋顶下面的空间。
2. 思考建筑物和建筑物和周围环境之间的联系，特别是公园系统。
3. 更多地考虑洪水的影响和水位的变化。
4. 考虑过滤问题。
      从现在开始，我将研究这些问题并绘制一些图表。但唯一遗憾的是，即使我试过了，我的电脑也无法安装PS。
好几天了。所以我可以用其他有用的软件和手来准备图表。
 
 
 
Week 4
 
      This week is the last week and the most important week. We prepare our rough plan for rebuilding the site we choose, by using 5 slides.
5 slides of mine provide these information:
The location of the site I choose;
The future sea level of the site;
The contour line of the site;
The current condition of the site;
The park system around it;
The people flow and water flow;
The rough design idea;
The filter system.
 
      本周是最后一周，也是最重要的一周。我们用5张幻灯片准备重建我们选择的地点的粗略计划。我的5张幻灯片提供了这些信息：
我选择的站点的位置；
遗址未来的海平面；
站点的等高线；
场地现状；
围绕它的公园系统；
人流流水；
粗糙设计思想；
过滤系统。
      K makes comment on each page and give ad vices for how we can improve it.
      Before the final presentation, we should prepare 10 slides to give a complete project .
      I think about the topic for a few days and change something. I'm very appreciate that K goes through our works and gives us very specific ideas and ad vices for our arrangement of slides and some points to make the slides look better and contain more efficient information.
 
      K对每一页的评论和建议，对于我们如何提高它。
      在期末报告前，我们要准备10个幻灯片来完成一个完整的项目。
      我考虑了几天这个话题，改变了一些事情。我很感激K流经我们的作品给了我们很具体的意见和建议，我们安排幻灯片和一些点，使幻灯片看起来更好，更有效地包含信息。
 
 
      Because of my awful command of software, K encourages me to use my sketch as important part of my presentation. I'm very appreciate that K respects what I'm relatively good at.
 
      因为我对软件的命令操作不熟练，K鼓励我用素描作为我演讲的重要组成部分。我很感谢K方面我比较擅长。
 
      The final presentation is very impressive and exciting, for that everyone has very nice and interesting points. The best may be Cindy's work, for me, and for everyone. I'm very shamed because I'm a junior student but she is just a 15year old girl. At the same time, guys in our team can all be my teachers.
 
      最后的介绍非常令人印象深刻和令人兴奋，因为每个人都有非常好的和有趣的点。最好的可能是 Cindy的作品，为我，为每一个人。我很羞愧，因为Cindy做的最好，尽管她是一个初中生，但是她只是一个15岁的女孩。与此同时，我们队的队员们都可以当我的老师。
 
      My work is not very developed for the lack of filter system relating to the plants, and the function of my work should apply to the culture and people more. And maybe my work, considered the theme of sea level rising, is not very realistic.
      But the most important thing for this month is to meet excellent teachers, talented partners and great experience for my favorite field.
 
      由于缺乏与植物有关的过滤系统，我的工作不是很发达，我的工作应该适用于文化。人多。也许我的作品，被认为是海平面上升的主题，是不太现实的。
      但是这个月最重要的事情是与优秀的老师，优秀的合作伙伴和我最喜欢的领域的经验。
 
      I hope that in one year I can go to my dream school and meet you all again in US.
      我希望在一年内，我能去我梦想中的学校，在美国再次见到你们。
  
 
 
科研起源
 
      在最新的世界学术水平排行榜中，绝大部分都是美国的大学。由于美国大学与工商业、企业结合紧密，同时学校的教学资源、实验课题及实验设备都属于全球顶尖状态，从而成为众多留学生的梦想留学目的地。
 
      目前中国学生申请赴美留学人数日益剧增，以往美国顶尖名校选择录取GPA高分学生，后来校方逐渐发现学生在学习中缺少创新和实操的能力，进而导致美国名校录取率的下降。近些年，招生官对选择学生时更加看重的是自主创新、专业技能、思维创造才能等综合素质人才。对于计划入读美国名校的学生，实际的科研经验无疑可以提升竞争力，从而大大增加被名校录取的概率。
 
      美国名校科研，坚持为更多有梦想的学生提供机会和平台。
