七月二十一號：最後一堂口訓課 with Joyce 老師

團隊除了密集地準備教案外，也安排了英語口訓課程，由本校寫作中心老師，同時也是本校語言教學所的學姊－李秋慧老師幫我們授課。授課內容包括如何進行正式的自我介紹、如何呈現 presentation，以及如何學習、熟悉澳洲腔等，都非常的實用與清晰。

上完 Joyce 老師的口訓課程後，將是各組與另一位口訓老師 Joy 進行試教演練。這也算是我們的口訓課程之一。Joy 老師將會校正我們的口說、腔調、用字遣詞等。

七月十二號：「國際禮儀」課程

因本團隊成員參加校內於四月舉辦的「CSI 國際參與工作坊」，聽到張大使授課的「國際禮儀」課程，覺得青年大使團隊或許也會受益良多，故又再度邀請張大使蒞臨清大替我們教課。

張大使的演講內容生動活潑，舉了生活周遭會遇到的事件當例子，讓我們記憶猶新。張大使特別提醒我們在外的餐桌禮儀，尤其是和駐外館處長官吃飯時，需格外注意。

七月八號：試教演練

師長邀請函與當天的活動行程（英文版）

為了準備屆時到澳洲的交流課程，我們在七月八號當天進行一場全天的試教活動。由於我們在澳洲交流的方式，是以小組進行：每小組由兩人進行一項主題，共有三個主題；分別為「地理美景（Fun Formosa - Geographic and Tourist Attractions of Taiwan）」、「多元族群（Multi-ethnicity, History, and Culture of Taiwan ）」，以及「綠能環保（Let's Have A Cup of GREEN TEA - Sustainable Energy and Environmental Protection）」。

感謝當天到場指導的各組教案老師和聽眾們！

在進行第二項主題時，我們教大家如何跳原住民舞蹈「南王山系之歌」

經過一整天的演練，我們從老師和參與的同學身上學到很多要改進的點，也能第一線模擬屆時教室的情景。接著不會再有這種大規模的演練活動，只剩各小組自行練習！大家要加油囉！

七月六號：校內授旗儀式

     國立清華大學校長陳力俊、國際長王偉中，於七月七日受邀出席「一百年度國際青年大使交流計劃國立清華大學澳洲團隊」校內授旗典禮。活動由團長簡介及團員們富有朝氣的隊呼揭開序幕，接著校長致詞勉勵團員道，在進行課外活動充實​自身之餘，仍須顧及課業、盡學生本份，而國際長也與團員分享自身旅遊澳洲之寶貴經驗。授旗活動在全體合照留影後圓滿落幕。

    「國際青年大使交流計畫」源起於民國九十八年，目的在落實馬英九總統推動之「活路外交」及「文化外交」政策。本計畫旨在推動我國大專院校學生與世界各國之青年交流，培養各國未來領袖對我國國情及文化認識，以增進雙方關係。

    本年度，國立清華大學由全台各大專院校共一百零七支隊伍中脫穎而出，成為三十七支出訪團隊之一。本計畫為清大首次得標，獲得代表台灣赴澳大利亞交流之殊榮。團隊成員共有領隊徐憶萍教授、團長外語系張毓芳同學、團員語言所顏佑慈同學、外語系孫立庭同學、經濟系曾容愉同學、外語系李之安同學、中文系何宜同學等。

    籌備過程至今能順利進行，全因許多單位不吝給予幫助。感謝國立清華大學給予許多資源與資助。另外，並特別感謝坎培拉代表處、雪梨辦事處、清華大學國際處、師培中心、教發中心、寫作中心、綜學組、綜教組、課務組及課指組給予的​指導及建議。

    國立清華大學澳洲團隊即將於今年八月十四日至八月二十九日赴坎培拉及雪梨兩地，進行為期兩周之文化交流。

July 5th - Lunch with Director McKay, Australian Commerce and Industry Office, Taipei (ACIO Taipei)

After meeting Director McKay for the first time on May 27th, our team was very honor to have the opportunity to dine with Mr. McKay, Ms. Chen, and other staffs from ACIO Taipei on July 5th. This appointment was arranged since we met Mr. McKay in May. Mr. McKay was very friendly and kind to invite us for lunch with him before we fly to Australia on August 13th. Mr. McKay himself is the Director of Education Office at ACIO Taipei.

Mr. McKay at the press room of ACIO Taipei

We arrived at ACIO Taipei before noon, and Mr. McKay delivered a presentation on Australia's general information and education. Before the presentation, on behalf of National Tsing Hua University, our instructor, Prof. Hsu  presented the gift to Mr. McKay. In return, Mr. McKay and all other staffs at ACIO Taipei also prepared gifts for us. Therefore, all of our teammates got a T-Shirt and several booklets and brochures on Australia's educational information.

After the presentation and its following Q&A time, Mr. McKay gave us a short tour of the Office. It has one of the most magnificent views of Taipei City. There are several art collections displayed in the Office, creating  an ambiance of artful modernity and interior fashion. All those pieces of arts are from Australian artists. The Director said by displaying the arts, the government showed support and effort to promote Australia's modern art and culture. 

Shortly after the tour, we walked to have lunch at the nearby restaurant which was also located in Xinyi District. The food was great, and Mr. McKay helped us a lot by answering all of our questions, regardless of if they were relevant to our program.

Very awesome food! Thank you, Mr. McKay and ACIO Taipei!

Mr. McKay shared his insights and experiences about the differences between Western and Eastern culture. In addition, he wished us good luck, and was looking forward to the result / achievement / learning from the program.
