1. As a freshman in university, Vince enjoys a lot of spare time. But unlike some of his classmates who waste the time on sleep and computer games, he wants to make his spare time more colorful. He will use the first year to travel around to broaden his horizon.
2. Having traveled a lot, Jason realized the need to keep the beautiful scenery forever in his mind. So he saved money and bought a camera. Now all he needs is the skill to catch the breathtaking moment.
3. Smart and adorable, Rosa is a popular singer in her university. Besides, like an English-majored student, she speaks fluent and beautiful English. It always comes to her mind why not put singing and English together, it will be a perfect way to learn and entertain.
4. Everyone has a dream, so does Danny. He dreamed of becoming a diplomat(外交官) since childhood. So he likes to read the books concerning politics, economy and foreign affairs. His classmates thus gave him the nickname "Mr. Know Everything".

There are 12 members and 4 meetings have been held on the discussion of several different topics. Students are encouraged to focus on the happenings in the world and build their own opinions. |
| C.Mathematics Club It is an academically-oriented club organized by students who are interested in mathematics, who are strong or even weak at mathematics. It is like an extended stage to continuously study mathematics outside the classroom. There are about 45 club members arranging regular team work, collecting updated exercises for extra practice, organizing lecture notes for revision and recruiting new members. |
