Happy New Year

On New Year’s Eve, I set off on a journey. Bathed in morning light, the sunlit golden mountains shimmer, snow peaks cloaked in gold, lighting up my heart as well. May every step in the new year walk in the light, with luck following like the mountain wind. 🚗 Car Selection Beijing · BJ 40 🎬 Video 📸 Some moments

SLAI Registration

Let me first say the conclusion: the college was very attentive during the reporting process, and the management and process were very good. I give a big thumbs up to the staff :) Registration Registration officially began at 8:30 AM on September 10th. Parking and a tea break area were set up. Family members accompanying students were asked to wait at the tea break area while students reported to the second floor.

The talk covered the examination details, program benefits, and overall objectives.

FPSET Course Resource

Goal This post is intended to help students in the SWJTU–OSU joint FPSET program (Fire Protection and Safety Engineering Technology) learn key topics more efficiently. Illustrations These materials have been saved since 2019, and some of them may no longer be effective today. Personally, I hope that you, as students, can use them appropriately as references to help yourself grasp knowledge more quickly. In that case, you would have more choices about your future path.

Google Translate MVP

An English corner is a great place for me to improve my English skills. I’ve participated in this activity for over half a year. It always helps me relax when I’m under pressure from academic research. Although each session just lasts for one hour, it’s worthy doing that. I’ve accumulated many words and expressions since then. Fortunately, I was invited to record a video and the topic is about winter holiday.
