Undergraduate / Studying with foreign students; My exchange student planner [3]
Having military service two years ago, I thought that I would better go abroad as an exchange student. At first, I dreamed a fantasy of foreign countries only. However, later I recognized that the exchange student program was a tremendous positive opportunity to me.
First, the program can give me a chance to study about my major courses with foreigners. In addition, I believed that competition and cooperation with foreign student is a special and rare experience. Also, I knew that the exchange program is a just one offer in my entire life: because I could not be a university student twice.
Therefore, I did not want to miss the opportunity of the exchange program. Finally, I was sure that studying as the exchange student will be very helpful to me. Through speaking English only, I assure that I can learn my major in a different angle from using Korean.
Many people tend to expect improvement to English skills through the exchange student program. However, I do not anticipate to increase skills of the language during just one semester.
On the other hand, my goal of the exchange student is to undergo another country's culture, their thinking patterns and to communicate with the students.
I desire to make foreigner students and to become close to them. I strongly have believed that these hopes can have affirmative influence on my valuable life.
I do not want to be frustrated with the fact that I am not good at English. Furthermore, due to my poor English skills, I do not wish to disturb foreign students. Consequently, I have gone to English academy to learn speaking in February this year.
In addition to this, I am going to study TOEFL listening and watch American movies and dramas for improving my English abilities. Through this preparation, I am going to prepare the exchange student program: this is my best effort and trial that I can do.
I want to obtain two eventual fruits. The first is that I can obtain something different and challenging experience. This can make me an active, sociable and wise person. Also, the other is that I can learn my major courses in English. Studying with foreign students can give me precious and valueless assets.
