參加紐西蘭遊學團心得
Stepping out the familiar Taiwan, I was heading for the wonderland that I had never been, The New Zealand. This time was the second time going abroad. With fifteen-day trip ahead, I was a little bit fidgety. It was really tiring to take a red-eye flight. But it was all worthwhile at the thought of the green grassy NZ!
We started our learning trip in the second day after we arrived. It felt good to study with buddies, especially in the whole English environment. I got used to the circumstance easily and got along with them well. Every class had its uniqueness, different ways of teaching classes, which impressed me. For example, English teachers would ask students to write lectures and make speech on their own lectures. The social classes tested students with current trends and hot news. The PE teachers taught students how to play sports well and practice. They are all different from Taiwan, where we can only just sit on the chair, listening to what teachers say. However, out of my expectation, in the country speaking English lives a high percentage of Asian, coming from Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, China and more.
In addition, what remain fresh in my memories again and again in this trip are the well-designed and disciplined streets in both cities and counties. I also experience the completely zoning districts, the separation of the commercial and residential districts. Without many grocery stores and with many residential districts, it takes more than half an hour going to the nearest supermarket for buying some snacks. It was a life-changing experience for me.
But, what I enjoyed the most is the extremely pure green and the tranquil lifestyle, especially in the big city we visited, Auckland. The life there seemed easy and leisurely, even those plants are when I saw them swinging and facing the metropolis with their green. It is rarely seen in the developed countries, which we can learn from.
