September 10th and 11th saw the freshmen reception of the School of Foreign Languages. At 6:30 a.m., all the teachers and volunteers had got ready for their work.

With the hard work of the volunteers and teachers, everything went on well. At noon, the reception tents were crowded with freshmen and their families. The volunteers were busy helping the new students to fill in the forms, getting their brochures, debit cards and schedules, answering the questions from the parents and taking them to the temporary bus-stop to take a battery car to their dormitories. Most of the volunteers were girls, but when they were asked to carry the baggage, they always tried their best to help the freshmen.

Professor Tao Wenhao, Dean of the SFL, the vice deans, namely, Xie Qingli and Xie Wenting, and Zhang Minli paid a visit to the reception tents in the morning. Dean Tao expressed the heartfelt appreciation to the volunteers. They were all touched by the words of the dean.

The freshmen and their parents were all very satisfied. The reception went on smoothly. (By Zhou Xingzi)
