"Recalling when I first arrived in the United States, I could speak very little English, and I did not dare to speak English. Fortunately, I came to Seton Hall University (SHU) to learn English as a second language course. There are very friendly people here. Classmates and professors, they are very happy to provide me with the help I need and give me confidence. There are also volunteers in school who will help, so I am now able to speak English and basic English conversation skills bravely. In addition, there are special events on Fridays, such as going to a Brazilian restaurant for dinner and hiking with classmates and professors. I really like these special events to increase opportunities for communication with others."
回想剛到美國的時候,我會說的英文真的非常少,又不敢開口說英文,很幸運的來到Seton Hall 大學 (SHU) 的英語作為第二語言課程學習英文,這裡有非常友善的同學和教授,非常樂意為我提供需要的幫助,並且時常給予我信心讓我不要擔心害怕說英文,在學校也有自願者會為我們提供幫助,因此我現在已經不會害怕開口說英文也會基本的英文溝通。另外,在星期五也有特別活動,像是去巴西餐廳吃飯,和同學教授一起遠足,我很喜歡這些特別活動增加了和別人交流的機會。
