2009七月在美的日子

一、個人的成長
「行萬里路,讀萬卷書!」長達24小時累人的飛行時間,所幸最後能有豐碩的成長與收穫,真是一趟值得的行程。成長是全面性的:心境、視野,經驗,能力、進步,在原本是個人熟悉的環境中本是再自然不過的事情;但是,當自己面對一個語言既不流利、文化背景又不熟悉的美國生活環境時,所有的一切似乎都提醒自己,這是一趟另類的「學習」之旅。箇中,個人體會到了「有口難言」的困境,再好的東西就是無法與...

Wellcome to Cleveland

From July 5th to 26th, Vice President Margaret陳美華 and my 5 collages(Anna孫素靜, Frank王長龍, Marcous王志堅, PeterII陳立言 and William劉獻文) went to our sister-school, Ursuline College in Cleveland, OHIO to learn English language and American culture. There were 5 hours of English language classes form Monday to Thursday in three weeks. After the English language classes, Ursuline College arranged different kinds of culture activities outside campus for us in order to experience and know more about American lives and culture. All these activities include home stay (even though we are in our forties), picnic, trip to Cleveland Museum of art and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, tour of Lakeview Cemetery and Niagara Falls, Cleveland Indians baseball game. When we finished the English language classes, everyone was required to give a presentation in English; all of us really did a good job in the presentation. And I was so proud that I could present some background and information about Wenzao, and my impression about Cleveland city, especially all the people whom I have met. Another unexpected learning experience is that we had visited 4 higher education institutions, including Cleveland State University, Lakeland Community College, Edinboro University and Walsh University. All these four universities have their own advantages and strength. We also discussed with them about possible exchange for students project for exchange students. I would say this is a wonderful, worthy, successful, and unforgettable learning experience in my life.
