9月27日，星期二，我们“出走”了，走出了课堂，走近了地理，8组同学带着提前做好了的问卷、计划，在这一天的下午向着碧桂园凤凰城出发了。On Tuesday the 27th of September, we ran away. We ran away from the geography class room and got a little closer to geography itself. 8 groups of students prepared questionnaires and set out for Phoenix City.

“城市化”这一主题围绕着人口的迁入与迁出展开，这也正是我们这段时间地理课的主要学习内容。在前一周，老师组织我们在课堂上自己提出调研问题，并确定想要调研的课题，这些都是地理外部评估要求我们必备的技能。我所调研的主题是“碧桂园房产的营销策略”这也就意味着同时调查了周围的设施，环境，学校对这片区域的影响。

The content of our class focussed on urbanisation and resulting shifts of of people coming to and leaving the city. The week before, the teacher had us devise and decide upon our questions in the classroom. This is a skill which is necessary for external geography exams. Our topic was “Country Garden Sales Strategies” and we also surveyed the effect that the surrounding facilities, environment and school had had upon this land.

在刚开始进入售楼处到我的调研结束总共花了将近40分钟，营销人员耐心地为我全程介绍，但是因为销售人员的语速较快在笔记上经常会漏掉或者记得不清晰，为了提高效率，后来的一段时间内我都只记下了思路，这大大减少了我的工作量，看起来也清晰整洁。在介绍完毕后，我又将思路一点一点补全，完成了整个调研过程。调研结束后，工作人员说“你们这样的学习方式让我们羡慕”，调研学习的方式让我们走出了课堂，学习对生活有用的地理。

The whole process, from going into the sales office to finishing our survey, took close to 40 minutes. The salesman patiently presented to us, but as his speech was rather quick, our note-taking couldn’t keep up with him. We missed some details or couldn’t remember so clearly. From this we learnt to be efficient in our note-taking by focussing rather on the key points. After this investigation this member of staff stated how envious he was of us studying in this way. By taking geography outside of the classroom, the students’ learning was directly relevant to their lives.

其他小组调研时也遇到了一些问题，调研“学校对房价影响”的同学多次遭到了拒绝，调研“基础设施满意程度”的同学苦苦寻找社区居民，他们需要与互不相识的居民打交道，进行提问调研。有一个组所提问的近30人中只有6至7人愿意接受调研，这是一个非常艰巨的任务，群众的不配合导致他们需要不停的换地方，去到了集市，欢乐城，餐馆才有少数人愿意接受采访，结束了采访之后，他们的问卷上都写得满满的，地理老师让我们晚自习总结调研资料，个个都收获满满。

Some of the other groups ran into some small problems. The group investigating the impact of the school on house prices were refused interview a number of times. Also the group looking into “Satisfaction with Facilities” dealt mainly with people who seemed not to know too much about it. There was one group who out of the 30 or so people they asked, only six or seven were willing to take part. A difficult task. This meant that the group had to constantly change location such as the central plaza and the mall. It was only in the canteen that they found a small number of people willing to accept interview. After all the questionnaires were filled in, our teacher asked us to use our evening study time to summarise our findings.
