Nowadays, with the development of technology, we are familiar with convenient applications on smart phones. However, is the idea generation and development of such applications possible for our students? Let’s join the English lesson of Class 6.3 to see how they generated innovative ideas! By actively researching, thinking, UTS-ers suggested many modern as well as familiar ideas for applications such as homework solving app, fashion consulting and direct purchasing app, or lego assembling instruction app, etc. These rough ideas were just express on the paper, but students showed their dedication in planning detailed operation way, interface design or distribution on online app platform. Moreover, all contents in these applications were built in English, aiming to develop them on a global scale. Hope that UTS-ers will always maintain the creative energy and make these interesting ideas become real in the near future!

  Visual intelligence is one of the eight types of human intelligence, helping us imagine numerous objects, develop strong visual memory and artistic tendency. At UTS, the students in grade 8.2 can grow this special type of intelligence through the lesson “The World in our Eyes”. The special thing in this lesson is the combination of English and painting. Students will draw their world through their point of view, then present it in English so that everyone can better understand that picture. Each painting shows their unique thought as well as an opportunity to practice their English-speaking skills in front of many people. This exciting class requires UTS-ers a source of vocabulary to be able to explain their world. UTS-ers can also maximize the observation ability which will create plentiful visions about issues of life.

  May 15th is selected by United Nations as the International Day of Families when family members can connect to each other and raise awareness about families’ issues. At UTS, we also have a family of big sisters, brothers in High School and lovely younger ones in Primary School. UTS-ers always take care as well as help each other if necessary, without distinction of age. The “Love Giving” stories-telling project is an activity which helps strengthen the connection among students at UTS. Students of Primary School usually listen to stories told by their Parents before sleeping. To bring the familiar and cozy feelings to Primary School students, Grade 10 UTS-ers visited classes, spent time telling short stories and then gave mini gifts to their juniors before the sleeping period. This project helped UTS-ers prove event organizing, presenting and detailed planning skills. Besides, this is an occasion for UTS big family to take care of each other which proves the contribution spirit – one of six core values of UTS-ers.
