My Year Abroad

This month in Travelers Corner there are three teenagers’ experiences in year-abroad programmes.

Mariko Okada – Tokyo

My year abroad in the United States was a fantastic experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice. I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture. When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future.

Carla Fonseca – Rio de Janeiro

I spent last year studying English in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home!

Alvin Chen – Hong Kong

Studying in New Zealand was a fun experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week——with lots of homework. I also kept a diary of my experience. I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day. On Saturdays, my homestay family took me to lots of interesting places and showed me so many wonderful things about the culture. I’m really glad I went!

During their lives, many people experience difficulties and struggle (努力) to do something. When I lived in China, it was a hard struggle for me to learn Chinese and get used to Chinese customs.

The first day I went to school, I didn’t understand what my teachers and my classmates said. I just sat in my seat without doing anything, but when I went back home, I cried and told my mom that I wanted to leave for my homeland.

Later, however, I decided I had to study Chinese very hard, but it was very difficult to learn the language. Every day at school, I tried to talk to the Chinese students and make friends with them. When school was over, I studied Chinese at home by watching Chinese TV programs. That turned out to be a very good way to improve my Chinese. Little by little, I began to speak Chinese in school and I began to make many friends. Finally, I got a very high grade in the Chinese exam and naturally I became used to Chinese customs.

Now, I like to talk with Chinese people and I like Chinese food too. The experience of struggling to learn Chinese in China was unforgettable, and I’ll never forget the time when I learned so much.
