Opportunity of the studying abroad, purpose

Before entering my Chinese university(Guangdong University of Foreign Studies), I have heard that there is a project that students can study abroad. However, as the condition for being able to participate in the project is having excellent grade, so I have been studying hard for the past 2 years. Lastly I decided to study in Kobe College after telling my hope to my teacher and listening to her advice.
As a student who is major in Japanese, the purpose of studying abroad in Japan is to master Japanese fully. And then, not only studying at school, but also I want to have a close contact with the society. Having a close contact with society is to be a good social being. Besides, In Japan, there are people from various countries, so I can make friends with them. Especially the local people—— Japanese people. I think I can feel more about Japanese contemporary culture by making friends with Japanese people.
What’s more, I also hope that I can extend the influence of Chinese culture with my little effort.

Experience while studying abroad

The life of studying abroad is keeping going. During this time, I have a touch with Japanese culture, and I know a lot of culture about other countries. I think it’s really wonderful.
Because all the lessons are teaching in Japanese, it is a bit difficult for foreign students, but the teachers and classmates will always take care of me, so I am very grateful to them. And because of their help, I can study more smoothly. Moreover, if there is a question that I don’t understand and ask them for help , they always give me the perfect answer. If I improve my language skills, they have a great contribution.
And, I always make some troubles in my daily life. But the staffs of the International Program Center and the houseparent of the dormitory will give me a help. When I ask them for help every time, They are so patient and kind to help me. And because of their help, the troubles will disappear.
There are not only Japanese students but also foreign students. There are international students from Korea and from American. Therefore, the recognition about the culture of other countries has been deepened. And, because I got along with each other, I made some new foreign friends.
On weekends, I sometimes go out. I often visit Osaka and Kyoto with buddy students and other international students. I take a visit to a lot of sightseeing places, so I expand my horizons. And the scenery of Japan is really beautiful. I think I will never feel bored even if I go many times because it is too beautiful.
So, on the whole, I do fee happiness every day now.

Results of study abroad, future goals

About 10 months studying abroad has been at an end. Because of the Corona Virus, my studying abroad life finished early. I don't realize that my study abroad life is over. How time flies!
Now in retrospect, the time spent in Japan, although there are hard times (mainly because of the pressure of study), the most times are full of happiness. Because I went to many places to have fun and made a lot of friends. It was a very happy time that just like a dream.
During my study abroad time, I got a lot of help from many people and I really appreciate then. If there was a problem when I was in the dormitory, the houseparent of the dormitory had been patiently helping me solve the problem. What’s more, if I had any trouble in my study or daily life, the staffs of the International Communicating Center also helped me to solve the problem enthusiastically. Especially, I am grateful to Ms. Ueki for the reason that she helped me a lot with the preparation for returning China. Of course, I will not forget Ms.Kitagawa and Ms. Yabuuchi. Though I don’t know your name, but I also will not forgive everyone who had helped me and gave me a smiling face.
I also made friends with other exchange students. Of course, also with Japanese students. I made rare memories with them together, and I will not forget them in my whole life. Because communicating with everyone, my Japanese language ability gradually increased a lot.
The teachers at the class always taught me various things when I was studying in Cobe College. I enjoyed the classes every time.
If I have a chance that I can come to Japan again, I will definitely visit Nishinomiya City and Kobe College. I'll see you again.
