2019-08-02 19:06:36

My name is Tina. I'm 18 years old and I come from Jiangxi province. I've been studying in Omeida for almost one year. Time flies, yeah. Any happy time always goes very quickly. I'm an introverted person so at the beginning of my time here I was very very shy in school. I was afraid of talking to anyone. Anyway, after a few days and because of the friendly study environment, I started changing a lot. I started to speak with other people and attended many activities at the school's social night (every Thursday our school will hold a social night to help students speak so they are less afraid to open their mouths). That's my school life, and in my free time I like to do many kinds of activities like climbing mountains, going cycling or to go jogging with my friends. I also like some indoor activities like playing phone games. I also like singing (and listening to) music very much. Yangshuo is a very beautiful town. It's small, but there are a lot of fun places too with some famous tourist attractions. For example; Tv tower, husband mountain, Moon hill, the li river, secret beach and we also can see waterfalls here! I've been to the waterfall once, it was amazing! A very gorgeous place! There is one more beautiful place that I want to mention: West Street. You can see many foreign tourists walking there, it's like going to a foreign country. And the buildings in west street are also very impressive. All in all, Yangshuo is an attractive place, you would love this small place if you've been here!

以下是VIP专员Elaine跟Tina的一问一答，让我们一起了解Tina学习英语的心路历程以及在欧美达的收获！

1. Why do you learn English?
从小，我对英文有浓厚的兴趣，我喜欢用英文去与其他人交流，从不同的角度去感受国与国之间文化的差异性。

2. Do you have any difficulties in learning English?

当然，学习新语言的开始会有一个起步期，经过入学测试，我的英语基础水平处于Lever-1C（掌握初级语法，词汇量3500左右）。面对陌生的环境、陌生的同学，羞于开口。语法和听力在第一周较为吃力，难以跟上外教的授课进程；口语表达只会蹦单词，不会造句子；词汇量还好，新概念2的内容能看懂一些。

3. Did you change a lot after you study in Yangshuo?
首先，是在英语的学习中，学到很多应用知识，认识到各国的政治地理历史，了解到中西文化差异；其次，性格上从刚开始的懵懂变得更加成熟，生活上变得更加独立。

4. Can you share your experience in learning English?
我会有早读的习惯，因为早上的记忆力强（每个人因人而异），坚持一段时间后发现自己的英语提升很快。平时也经常抓住机会跟外国人进行交流，交流一多起来，慢慢发现自己的口语在短期内进步了很多。反而我觉得语法没那么重要，但语感是最重要的，我大部分语感的来源于多读多看多说。

5. Are you happy with your study?
喜忧各半吧，经过一段时间和同学们的学习、生活。难免在分别的时候会有难过的情绪。但开心的是认识到很多来自不同地方的同学、朋友，大家都朝着共同的的学习目标，一起为这个目前努力，这一个经历是很难得的，也是成长的一个过程。

6. What will you do when you graduate?
找一个英语相关的工作，目前倾向做外贸方面的工作。

7. What do you do to relax in your free time?
课后喜欢和同学散散步、爬爬山；周末就一起骑自行车周边游，攀岩；平时也喜欢玩游戏和听音乐。

8. What do you like the most about Yangshuo?
最喜欢阳朔的自然生态环境。见识了大城市的喧嚣嘈杂，来到这里可以感受到小镇的风土民情。享受这里的清新空气，四周围绕的山水，一边学习一边生活，足矣足矣。

9. What do you want to say to your friends and your teachers?

很感激教过我的老师们，无论是外教还是中教，都对我照顾有加，让我有家的感觉。在这里特别感谢我的第一任外教：Nick Pellatt。他不像一位老师，更像一位挚友。无论是在学习上还是生活上都教会了我很多为人处世的道理，教会我如何用一种平静的心态去看待生活与学习的各种问题。

10. What is your most unforgettable experience while studying in Omeida?
最难忘的是与我的好同学、好朋友在欧美达生活的点点滴滴。Mina，她就像一个大姐姐一样，在生活中给予我很多帮助，因为住得近，经常做饭给我吃，也经常带我一起运动健身。Sabrina，就像一个妈妈一样，总是给予很多感动。记得今年的生日，她特意提前一天从外地赶回阳朔陪我过我的十八岁生日，还收到人生中的第一束鲜花。Thomas，他是德国人，虽然年纪相差很大，但是聊得很投机，在英语的学习上给了我很大的信心。在我刚来的阳朔的两个星期里，他带我一起探索和游玩阳朔的山水。即使他回国了，也依然保持联系和关心我的生活，我希望有机会可以到他的国家拜访他。还有很多人很多事没法一一道来，最后，感谢在欧美达遇到的每一个人，给我带来了快乐，使我的生活多姿多彩！
