Cheerful and depressed,jolly and lonesome they have been suffering me since I left Taiwan.These expressions describe the situation I have been having. Last Christmas and New Year which were most important days during in the past thousands years.I suppose. However,I just arrived in Harrogate about one month.(A town where is in the North Yorkshire of England). As a result,my English was poorly and I did not know anyone and anything.While there was a flu to attack Britain.Unfortunately,my host family and me both got it.As I stayed in bed for a week,until after New Year's day.

I was completely sick and could not have any food and drink at Christmas. Therefore, I spent lots of time with my dear bed. It was lonely and boring in front of the telly and stayed in bed at New Year.

Nevertheless,this happening was going better after few months,and also my English have been improving gradually. Moreover,I have beenmeeting lots of people who are come from different foreign countries.I really enjoy social life and go out wiyh my friends.In other words,I realised different country have different culture,religion as well.So I have been learing lots of things from people's experience, attitude and Knowledge. I think,these are some advantages when you study in abroad.

One thing I can remember while I had an exam in June. Honestly, I failed. Perhaps, evreybody might be the same as me to be upset.Consequently, I decided to be hardworking and prepared next examination.When the time was up.I went to try again.This time I was successful to pass the exam.Hopeful,I expect to study at Birmingham Institute Art and Design in January next year.

There was a particalar day which was on 30th October. It is my birthday. However,The day for me had specific meaning. Because it was first time I stayed in foreign country with some of my friends to celebrate it.It was absolutely fantastic party I have never had a couple of years before. The friendship is across over the national boundaries. There are not racial intoleranted, superficial and dishonest. Sometimes, I think about this happening in the world. Is possible anybody can be big-hearted to accept the other people? When I walk on the street or sitting in the classroom. Somethings happened th appear in my mind. As if remind me to think about the opportunities for people are differenced. You should treasure about what is exactly are you looking for? holding you have and learning you do not have.pay your attention with everything you want. As you never try,you never lives.

On the whole, I would like to say that it is a really good experience if you go for study in overseas. Personally, I believe myself more mature and independent than one more years ago. The ability of deal with everything and judgment are improving. Although, I am not living in my own country now.but I really appreciated that I have been receiving much positive and negative experiences from here.

Therefre, I sure that it will be prepared for my future.Also I am looking forward to seeing any interested to appear in my life.
