Opening Ceremony

Dear students and teachers
my colleague and International teachers

We are very happy today
to meet here together
to welcome our new students
for the beginning of a new life
at Hubei University

We welcome you, our new students
coming from both inside and outside China
into our International School
a very big international family

We are an international family
where you can feel the care and concern
from so many smiling friends
from so many friendly teachers

We are an international family
where you can taste
the different culture
different beauty
from so many different countries

We thank you, our new students
for your choice of this International School
as a better place for your study
whether you choose
Chinese or English
Communication or media
Advertising or Tourism

Here, you will have a chance
a chance to your success
a chance to your future

Here, you will also have a challenge
a challenge to know something new
to learn something difficult

A challenge for our Chinese students
to speak English
A challenge for our international students
to speak Chinese

No matter what you are going to study
life in a university needs your smart mind
needs your great effort, and hard work

We wish you, our new students
to plan, and to try
to change, and to fly
plan for the better
try for the better
change for the better
and fly up higher

Your plan today, your try tomorrow
your change every day
will bring you close to your nice dream
in your near future
going overseas or back to your country
for a bright future

You are from so many places
from so many countries
away from your home
away from your family

No matter where you are from
this International School will be your new home
a nice home away from
your original home

As a teacher, we are beside you
to look after your study
As a friend, we are among you
to care for your life
and to make your dream possible

For the coming new term
or new semester of study
we wish you to study together
successfully as excellent students

For your new life in this university
we wish you to stay together
happily as close friends

To know more
to understand better
and to enjoy most of your life

Wish you a great success in your study
wish you a wonderful time on this campus
a small but a real world
full of challenging chances
full of international cultures

Your dream is inside your mind
your future is inside your hands
start from now
prepare to try
keep your mind open
get your heart ready

From this small world, before long
you will join the big international world
you will become the best valuable person
you wish to be
