I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, its not even really a campus. Its more like a district in a small town. Harvards main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even say theyre a little shabby(破旧的). They dont fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a castle of Middle Ages. But when I looked across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again. It creates a strong contrast(比照)and brings a special atmosphere to the school. Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us, “You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony. Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn! I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with chirping of the birds, I felt very calm. There was no competitive feeling at all. Harvard has the worlds first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end computers too. Its religion and the literature departments are among the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in. I hope one day Ill attend my dream schoolHarvard. 闻名全世界的哈佛大学是什么样子的呢？让我们跟着作者去看看吧。1.
