The trip to Shen Keng

For the young generation like us, we usually enjoy hanging out with friends in places like night markets, department stores, Karaoke, theme parks and so on. But as the student of Shin Hsin University, I haven’t thought about going to ShenKeng with friends and exchange students though it is close to our campus.

I have worked in the English corner for one year. I am very happy to be teaching students here because it is a good place for me to advance my English skills, while helping other students who are learning English as well. I am outgoing, responsible and get along well with my students and co- workers. The English Corner is trying to construct an English immersion environment for students to practice their speaking ability. Furthermore, the English Corner usually holds a lot of parties and activities, which provide students with a-new learning experiences of authentic the American culture.

      The weather is getting colder and colder here in Taiwan, and the semester is disappearing faster than ever!  I cannot believe it is almost midterms here at Shih Hsin - it seems as if I just arrived last week.   The constant stream of activities and hanging out with friends has given me very little time to spare.  Not that I’m complaining, I’m having a lot of fun in Taiwan, helped by the many friendly students at SHU. 

A Day to Remember

As an English Corner tutor I am often treated to amazing experiences with my students on and off-campus.  I have been floored by the joviality and warmth of Taiwan's people.  I have learned that this is an island comprised of people who truly embrace their visitors.  Indeed, I have met many of the finest hosts of my life, in the short span of one month, right here in Jingmei.

Are you an open-minded person who wants to learn more about diverse cultures at Shih Hsin University? If you are, the place you are looking for is the ENGLISH CORNER!
