Recently I paid a visit to Harvard University, where there are top class scientists and professors and the best academic system in the world.
I was pretty 41 when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it's not even really a campus. It's 42 like a district in a small town.
Harvard's main buildings are from the 18th century.They look very old and 43 . You might 44 say they're a little shabby. They don't fit the modern 45 of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by 46 and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval (中世纪的) castle. But when I looked across the street, 47 shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century 48 . It creates a strong contrast and brings a special 49 to the school.
Our tour 50 ,Gary took us around and told us, "You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they hold their 51 ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony.” It's 52 ! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the grass?
I 53 some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of 54 turning, along with chirping of the birds, I felt very 55 . There was no competitive feeling at all.
Harvard has the world's first computer in its science centre 56 there are hundreds of high-end computers, too. Its religion and the literature departments are also 57 the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and 58 technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to 59 in. I hope one day I'll 60 my dream school -- Harvard.
