when it comes to this experience, it's actually quite comic. When I was a freshman and sophomore, I was the monitor of our class. At that time, when I was a freshman, our counselor asked us to often look at the home page of the school and read the notice. At that time, there were many exchange programs, which were often forgotten after reading them. Occasionally, I sent one to the class on a whim. I thought maybe there was someone in the class who wanted to go. My family is in a general situation, so I can't go. Just look at the solution to my eyes. However, in the last semester of my sophomore year, my family suddenly said that you could participate in an exchange program. I was a little confused at the time. At that time, I didn't know anything, I didn't even know the difference between a visa and a passport, and I didn't know how to start. My family went to international exchange office with me when I came to pick me up during the winter vacation, and asked, there were three exchange programs at that time, one in Denmark, two in South Korea, and the one in Denmark wanted an IELTS score of 6.5. At that time, I didn't know the advantages and the concept of 6.5, so I prepared for the winter vacation and took the IELTS test once. At that time, the scores of college English were randomly distributed from 6 to 69. It is said that a score of 6 in IELTS is equivalent to the level of preparing for 3 months after passing Band 6. Then you will know how miserable the results are. I didn't pass IELTS, and my family said that the opportunity was rare. If I delay, I will be a senior. Then I'm going to Korea.

Let's go through the formalities for going to Korea. Because it's an exchange student in our school, it's easier to apply. Basically, we can go after our school. However, the materials have to be prepared, and there are still quite a lot of procedures because of the visa. It should be sad for the procedures of any school activities. Generally speaking, you should go to the entry and exit to get a passport, then send the materials to the ROK, and the ROK will send an admission notice back, and then get a visa from the Korean consulate, and then you can buy a ticket to go to Korea, or "cross the Yalu River and go from North Korea". Speaking of air tickets, I would also like to give you some advice. Before buying air tickets, ask seniors and seniors where it is cheaper to fly. For example, air tickets from Qingdao and Weihai to Seoul are much cheaper than other places. It's cheaper to book tickets in advance, but sometimes it's cheaper to book tickets later. Some China festivals can't get tickets several days in advance, but some festivals are cheaper than usual. So for a while, we sang "I can't guess the price of the plane ticket". You can also go to South Korea by boat. Student tickets are cheaper, and you can't go back and forth to 1 yuan. If there are students in South Korea who can stay overnight, you can go on a self-help tour. Of course, the accommodation fee is similar to that in China, and it is not very expensive. There are hotel, motel, homestays or Sparex in South Korea. More recommended is the B&B, which is a daily rental house. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, and there are often cookers and washing machines, and the price is cheap. Sparex is the cheapest, but the environment is also poor.

After flying, there is another tangled problem. What are security inspection, border inspection and customs? These are all minor problems. You will understand it when you fly for the third time. Before you understand it, just follow the person in front. But sometimes someone may stop you when you are walking, because it involves inspection and quarantine, so don't bring fruit and liquid. Like meat, if you really want to bring it, it's not good to pack it tightly so that the dog can smell it. If it is serious, it will be fined. Some customs are very lax, such as the customs at Weihai Port.

It takes about 7min minutes by plane. There is still an hour time difference between China and South Korea, so it takes about 2 hours to go to South Korea. Anyway, it is normal to go abroad. But going back to China is different. When you come back, the flight time and time difference are offset, which means it takes you 1 minutes to get from South Korea to China. It takes more than an hour to get to our school from the train station. Is this going abroad? It's not as good as a one-day tour in the city.

Then we will arrive in Korea. Generally, the school will arrange pick-up and drop-off in the first semester. Just tell them the flight number in advance. Just pay attention to the brand of your school when you leave the airport. It's best to remember the English name of the school you are going to. After wandering in front of the school brand for a long time, you will be embarrassed if you still can't find it. The person who picks up the plane is generally good at spoken English, which will give you great language pressure and motivation to learn. Later, when she finds out that she is not an English major, the pressure to learn is even greater. There are also people who can speak Chinese, so there is nothing particularly difficult to deal with on the way. There may be several beautiful Russian or Korean handsome guys accompanying you, for you to vomit. When you go, they will also take you to familiarize yourself with the school and buy things. So don't worry too much about the life there.

Let's talk about the campus environment in South Korea. Some schools in South Korea are built on mountains, because most of Seoul Circle in South Korea is on mountains, except Incheon and Anshan, where roads are quite flat, there are many factories and there are many people in China. If the school is in the mountains, it usually leads to a secluded place through a 2-lane path. The buildings are more stylish, the campus scenery is good, and the barrier-free facilities are complete. Wifi is free in the whole school, or in most public places in Korea, even on buses, subways and trains, but it is not free. There are 2 or 4 people in the dormitory, with floor heating, air conditioning, hot water, microwave oven, washing machine, water dispenser, TV and gym. Although there is a microwave oven, cooking is not allowed in the dormitory. But most schools can. The accommodation fee is about 3 months per semester, about 4 yuan. The air is better. The food school has about one meal in 2 yuan, and the outside has about one meal in 3 yuan. The monthly living expenses are around 25-35. It is more convenient to travel. The degree of informatization is relatively high. Every bus and subway station has real-time vehicle running information.

The curriculum in Korea is divided into education courses and specialized courses. The whole school can choose courses for parenting classes. Moreover, the grades are very fine and the surface is relatively wide. For example, English, Chinese and Japanese are divided into junior high schools and advanced schools. The good schools in physical education class have diving and equestrian, and the schools I go to also have golf, taekwondo and yoga. Professional courses are more academic, but the teachers' teaching methods are better. For example, I chose an experimental class. In the first half of the course, the teacher told you the experimental methods and experimented. In the second half, give each group a topic, let them explore the results according to the experimental methods in the first half, and finally draw a conclusion to write a paper. Of course, there are shortcomings. The disadvantage is that the process is too slow compared with China. There are advantages and disadvantages, regardless of the number of students, tuition fees, class hours, teaching content and teaching methods, it is all a joke (cough) (cough).

Let's talk about the curriculum and course selection system in Korea. The course selection period in Korea is relatively long, and it is relatively free without many constraints. The course selection time in Korea generally lasts for three weeks. The first week is the primary election, and then the audition. The teacher usually talks about the course arrangement, the composition of grades, the assessment method and the required bibliography, and then the class is over. In the second week, we will re-elect according to the results of the first week's audition. What should we do if we don't like the teacher, or if we don't want to buy textbooks? What should we do if the assessment method is too difficult? What should we do if our classmates are too high? In short, if you don't like it, you will quit. Sometimes the teacher will not let you choose this course, sometimes because he doesn't want so many students, and sometimes the course is too simple or too difficult for you. Then it will be the second week, and the lecture will usually start in the second week. At this time, you can still change it. I feel that what the teacher said is different from what he introduced in the first week, so retreat; Feeling that what the teacher said is boring, retreat; I feel that the teacher is not good-looking, so back off. Then in the third week, when you can't remember any reason to quit, you can still quit, but by the end of the third week, the class you choose is the class you want to take. You have to take almost 17 credits each semester, but if you want to graduate early, you can choose more. Of course, these are only for some education courses, and some professional courses are compulsory, so the freedom is not so great.

classes in Korea can be said to be relatively free, such as roll call in class. Can you guess whether there is one in Korea? There is this Korea, and every class must be ordered, which is the requirement of the school for every teacher, accounting for about 1% of the total score. But even so, there will still be a few truants. Generally, there will be 2% class participation points, and teachers will also prevent the class from being too rigid and telling jokes or sending something. The relationship between Korean teachers and students is still very good, and everything is easy to discuss. For example, if you want to return to China in advance, you can ask teachers to take exams in advance; I went to Jeju Island to play and asked the teacher for leave. Before the final exam, the teacher will assign some extra homework, saying that if you feel that your score is relatively low, doing this homework can make you pass, but if you still do it with high grades, you will only be given a moderate amount of points. Teachers usually invite their classmates to dinner every semester, and usually give them something. If you think about it carefully, this kind of thing is still feasible in South Korea, because there are few people. If China treats them, the teachers will definitely quit. Then, there are usually two examinations in a semester, a mid-term exam and a final exam. The mid-term exam accounts for about 3% of the total score, and the final exam accounts for about 4%. Generally, several papers will be published in the middle. What is tested in the mid-term exam is not tested at the end of the term, so the review pressure will be much less. There are a wide range of assessment methods. According to different courses, teachers have different ways to figure out the whole class. For theoretical courses, it is generally a mid-term exam+a final exam or a paper+a few publications in the middle. For those who are more practical, they may all be doing projects and publishing. Publishing is a group of 3-4 people. The teacher gives a topic and gives a PPT speech. Generally speaking, the project is to make a video, and there are also design classes to make magazines. In short, there are many assessment methods. Personally, I feel that publishing is very helpful to improve the language, because you have to find information, read information, understand it, then write it in PPT, write a speech, and then memorize it. I have also read the feelings of other international students. They think that publication also plays an important role in the learning process, which can promote the understanding and absorption of knowledge. But for China with large classes, it seems that this is not easy to achieve. But our school is reforming bit by bit. I hope you can catch up with this batch of reforms.

South Korea's culture can be said to be influenced by both China and the West. First, South Korea, as a subordinate country of China in ancient times, was deeply influenced by China. In modern times, after the Korean War, it signed a "defense treaty between the United States and South Korea" with the United States, which legalized the American garrison in South Korea, it was deeply influenced by American culture, which led to the young people in South Korea's great admiration for the United States. Therefore, many systems were learned from the United States, and most of the textbooks were used. The course is completely credit-based, and you can graduate when you have completed it. However, some specialized courses require you to have studied a certain specialized course last semester, so it is basically impossible for you to graduate in two years. Drop out of school at will, of course, a large number of people drop out of school for compulsory military service. South Korea's compulsory military service lasts about two years, and it seems that it will go back to the barracks every year for five years after military service. Each semester is 15 weeks, except for 3 weeks of audition, 2 weeks of mid-term exam and final exam, and then one week of class is released on holiday, with an average of 9 weeks of class time per semester. Such a short semester led me to meet my classmates at universities in China first, and then go to South Korea. When I returned to China, China University was usually in the exam week, so I could say hello to my teacher and ask what happened. Although the semester in Korea is short, because of the credit system and curriculum, it can promote people's learning in this short semester. In addition, teachers can enliven the classroom atmosphere and often send out something. The lessons in Korea are still quite interesting.

The difference between South Korea and China is, first of all, in terms of appearance, Koreans felt that their brow bones were flatter than those in China before they went to college, and they felt less spirited. But after going to college, they all became more energetic. Do not rule out the reasons for plastic surgery. Everything in Korea is updated quickly, such as mobile phones, clothes, hairstyles and artists. This may be the reason why Korean clothes look better. Girls make up every day, and boys make up every day. Because the whole of Korea is relatively small, most of them go to school, including universities and colleges (graduate students). Therefore, they basically take classes all day, and then they can take a day off and go to school for only four days a week. Classes are similar to those in China, because the college entrance examination in South Korea is similar to that in China, and it is easier to graduate from college. Koreans are more patriotic, because South Korea's land area is small and the labor force is relatively expensive, so the things made in South Korea are also relatively expensive. At the same time, they think that the quality of things made in South Korea is very good, and they can buy those made in South Korea. There are many restaurants with the country of origin of all kinds of ingredients hanging on their walls. If they are all Korean, they will think it is better. I remember when I was traveling in Jeju Island, I went to a special tea shop, where there were teas from China and South Korea. The quality of China's exports was generally good, and the Chinese products were cheaper. If I had to, I would definitely buy China's. However, when I was listening to the salesman selling to customers, I said something about China tea, then I started to choose Korean tea, and finally I bought the specialty tea from Halla Mountain and left. Koreans are better than China in some aspects. In Korea, absolute private cars make people. Moreover, they rarely honk their horns, but they can't hear more than 1 sounds a semester, and most of them are pressed by buses. It is said on the Internet that "the bus is in great confusion, and the stop signs are confusing, and all the drivers are suspected to be retired F1 racers. "South Korea has a large proportion of smoking, and the tar content is relatively low. The lowest is .1mg, and of course there are 5 or 6mg. What I want to say is that although there are so many smokers, none of them smoke indoors. They consciously go outdoors when they want to smoke. If they are in the dormitory, they will go to the balcony. If you are not in a hurry, stay on the left, so you will see all the escalators on public occasions standing on the left. The right side is reserved for people in a hurry. They won't sit on the subway when they are empty. Although these aspects are very quality, Koreans also have a very poor quality. South Korea is also a country that loves to drink. The famous shochu in South Korea is called Zhenlu, which is sold in supermarkets in China. It tastes terrible. They basically drink that at night when they have nothing to do. And cass beer and rice wine. You can see drunken people on the road at night. I remember one time I had to hand in something in class. As a result, a person didn't do it. I asked him why and replied that he was drunk last night. I was completely speechless when I heard this.

Korean online life. South Korea's network speed is relatively fast, communication companies are generally sk and kt, and people in China generally run kt, because access to domestic networks is faster. The cost is above 13 yuan per month. Mobile phones have card machines and contract machines. Unlike in China, most of them are contract machines in South Korea, and most of them have unlimited traffic, and the monthly phone bill is above 3. Mobile phones and computers in Korea are not cheap, because there is a 1% consumption tax in Korea. Although it can be refunded, the price after the refund is still not as cheap as that in China.
