Part 1: Love Korea, love in the source of the river

Time flies, time flies. Blink of an eye, I have spent three spring and autumn years in Korea unconsciously. Every moment of this period is full of unforgettable memories for me.

When I came to Kangwon University, I felt nothing more than the enrichment of my life, which I could not feel in my life before. I didn't expect how quickly I adapted to life in a foreign country. From the moment I walked into the gate of Gangwon University, I changed. Everything on campus is so natural and harmonious in my eyes. It not only eliminated all kinds of psychological emptiness when I came out of Korea, but also ignited my thirst for knowledge. I know very well in my heart that I will complete the mission of seeking knowledge in this institution of higher learning. My hope in life is destined to be lit at Gangwon University.

The change of studying abroad lies in the independence of life and study. From the moment I left home, I knew very well that I came out with the trust of my family and the mission of studying. As a member of Qian Qian's thousands of overseas students, while facing various opportunities and challenges in life and study, they also have opportunities and conditions that domestic college students can't have. Studying abroad is not enjoying happiness. In foreign countries, you can only rely on yourself in all aspects, such as studying, cooking, washing clothes, shopping, going to the hospital when you are sick. In this case, it's time to test yourself. It is precisely because of this environment that the pace of our growth will not stop; It is precisely because of this environment that we have learned how to be considerate of others and how to love each other. It is because of this environment that we really understand the warmth of family.

Another lesson from studying abroad is to understand the greatest love in the world-the love of parents. I don't know if other students have the same habits as me. Every Friday night, no matter how tight the time is, I will also arrange a phone call with my family. Whenever my parents told me to "pay more attention to my health and buy whatever I want to eat …", my heart was so heavy. I am well aware of the simplicity of my parents' lives. I am reluctant to spend money, and I have never been stingy with all aspects of my children's expenses. My parents know that the high price in Korea will make me save money in my life, but in order to eat well and wear warm clothes, every call will first ask about my life. Parents give their children too much. The reward for parents now is to cherish the hard-won opportunity to study abroad and achieve something.

School life is the main part of studying abroad. Campus life is so colorful, and all kinds of clubs in the campus provide various development opportunities for our hobbies, and also provide a stage for our life practice and Korean culture experience. At the same time, the China Overseas Students' Association of Gangwon University also organizes a variety of extracurricular activities for overseas students in China, which promotes the exchange of life and study among international students. Not only that, the school also organizes a series of activities such as cultural visits for foreign students every semester, which provides us with a rare opportunity to learn about Korea and at the same time relieves the pressure of intense study on weekdays.

Maybe my hometown is in the Dabie Mountains. It really feels like home at Gangwon University. The climate, culture and mountain environment here are really the same as my hometown. What's more interesting is that I don't know when I started. I don't feel like a foreigner anymore. In the past three years, under the training of my alma mater, Gangwon University, my thoughts have changed qualitatively from life to study to being a man. In the future life, I will cherish this special fate with my alma mater, Gangwon University, as always, and add new glory to my life at my alma mater.

Part II: Colorful life of studying abroad in Korea

My life of studying abroad may be a little unusual. I didn't realize that I should work hard until I turned 3. Thanks to the help of a friend of my mother, I got a work visa for a Chinese school in Korea, so I came to Korea alone with two big boxes, though I was not familiar with them.

On the way from Incheon Airport to Chuncheon, I felt that Korea was "clean". The clean streets and fresh air, especially the trees on both sides of the road, were trimmed into mushroom balls, which brought people constant reverie. I have to admit that gardening in Korea is really developed. After I arrived in Chuncheon, I was even more impressed that Chuncheon is a beautiful tourist city, quiet and exquisite. There are unique three-story buildings in Korean dramas, cherry blossoms in spring, winter jasmine, maple trees and ginkgo trees in autumn, and each scene is a charming landscape painting, which deserves to be the location of winter love song photography!

During my teaching Chinese as a foreign language, I met many Koreans and made many friends. Koreans are very kind and enthusiastic. No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will inevitably trouble them, such as studying Korean, registering for exams, seeing a doctor and shopping, and so on. Every time, they are very enthusiastic and patient to help me.

I soon learned that there is a national university-Gangwon University in Chuncheon, which is a very good school, and as long as the English score meets the requirements, I will have the opportunity to apply for the full prize. This is a rare opportunity. Time does not allow me to waste too much youth, in order to get the full prize and study all the courses smoothly after entering school. I spend almost all my spare time at work trying to learn Korean and English at the same time. On weekends, friends go shopping and fall in love, while I sit alone in the classroom with books, which can be said to be crazy, but I don't think my soul is lonely because I have a dream as a companion. Everything comes to him who waits. Half a year later, I took the English exam, passed it successfully and applied for the full prize. I told my family the news, and my parents, who have been worried about me for half a lifetime, were extremely happy.

In March 27, I officially started my postgraduate study life. After entering the school, I really feel that my usual efforts have paid off, and there is basically no problem in attending classes, and I understand quickly, and my grades in various subjects are also good. It seems that it is very important to learn the language well if you want to study abroad. In addition to studying, I have experienced a colorful part-time job life, from restaurants to convenience stores, from Chinese tutoring to part-time translation. Working life has taught me to stand on my own feet. At the same time, through contact with my boss and Korean friends, I have learned more about Korea and exercised my language skills. At the beginning of 29, I graduated successfully. At the same time, I took the Korean language exam and passed the IK6 level successfully. It is a small harvest of studies.

South Korea is not a very big country, but it is no exaggeration to describe it as exquisite and tasteful. Small and clean restaurants, chic cafes, bars, unique Korean cuisine and Korean snacks, unique Korean festivals, and passionate songs and dances of Korean people. The longer you stay in Korea, the stronger your feelings for Korea will become. After I came back, many elders said that I was very polite from my speech to my manners, perhaps because of my influence in Korea. South Korea has a lot to learn from. They are patriotic, United, hardworking and self-reliant. I'm afraid there are no foreign cars on the streets of South Korea. Most of the mobile phones used by Koreans are made in South Korea. A Korean friend is dissatisfied with the effect of sandstorm control in China. He said that if it is in South Korea, everyone will plant a tree, and China has a population of 13. If everyone can plant one, the desert will not be a problem anymore. After listening to it, I am very ashamed. But the spirit of the Korean nation contained in it is self-evident! Working in a restaurant, every Korean will not be lazy. They treat the restaurant as their own and are serious. Only when we visit Korea will we have a deep understanding ... Going out and learning from others is the purpose of studying abroad ... Not studying abroad enriches life and increases experience. At the same time, it broadens your horizons and gives you a feeling of standing higher and looking further. This kind of feeling can only be realized by those who have studied abroad. I have no regrets about studying in Korea! ! !

Part III: My study in Korea-a comprehensive view of food, clothing, housing and transportation

The life of studying in Korea can be likened to "Chinese food" in Korea, which is full of various flavors, but life needs these, otherwise it will not be perfect, and it is precisely because of this that it will become strong and determined. Life in Korea can be said to have made me go through a lot of processes from scratch. When people come to Korea, they first face the problem of eating. Koreans like to eat spicy food, but not as spicy as Sichuan food. Korean food is not greasy and very nutritious.

Kimchi is a daily necessity for every family in Korea. Kimchi has many beneficial bacteria, and now Korean kimchi is exported to the United States, Japan and other countries in large quantities every year. Many friends miss Korean kimchi very much after they come back from Korea. Some even specially learned how to make kimchi. Koreans like to eat cold noodles in summer. Because of a lot of physical exertion in dog days, they want to eat ginseng chicken soup and tonic soup. They are very delicious, and they really feel full of strength after eating. Pork belly and roast beef are the dishes that every Korean likes to eat. When I mention these, my mouth is watering. Pork belly is also my favorite. It's really delicious, especially when the meat and seasoning are wrapped in perilla leaves. It's called a fragrance! Unfortunately, back in China, although there are many Korean restaurants, the taste is absolutely different, and the original pork belly can no longer be found. What a pity!

Like many friends who have just arrived in Korea, having a canteen is a convenient way. I did the same when I first arrived in Korea, but later, because I lived in full tax, I rented a house off campus, so I often cooked by myself. Later, I found that cooking would save a lot of money. In the evening, most of my classmates went to restaurants to work, and the restaurants that usually worked for dinner provided it. There were many butcher shops in Korea, where I often ate meat, and sashimi was often eaten in sashimi shops, so it was easy to get the moon. From this point of view, working can make money and eat delicious food. Why not! Foreign students can live in the dormitory of the school, with a room for two people or a room for three people. The conditions are very good and there is a place to bathe. Some international life houses can also cook. However, quite a few people still choose to live off campus, because it is convenient, the accommodation conditions are good, the price is not expensive, and South Korea is very safe. This question can be decided according to personal preference. The transportation in Korea is very convenient, especially in Seoul. The subway is very developed and spread all over Seoul. If you travel in Seoul, choosing the subway will save a lot of time. Not only does the subway cost the same as the bus, but the bus may get stuck in traffic.

Outside Seoul, you can take a bus or take a taxi. Taxis in Korea are cheaper. If there is an emergency and the road is not too far, it is cost-effective to take a taxi. Even sometimes, it's a short road, just two legs. After all, South Korea is a small place and a small city.

Part IV: Memories of studying in South Korea

Prelude, to be honest, my way to study abroad was not smooth, but we still came here, spent an extra year in South Korea, and experienced things that ordinary international students could not experience. I think I gained more than I lost. Record the valuable experience and lessons I gained during my bumpy study abroad in Korea. I hope I can give some encouragement and help to my friends who are coming to Korea and have already come to Korea.

First of all, I want to say sorry to my friends who came with me. I hope you will forgive me for making our study abroad public.

First, disaster fell from the sky

On September 11th, 27, 68 of us came to the agreed university, and the school signed a 2+2 contract with this school. We also stayed at home for two years and finally came to our dream country. I don't know that the nightmare is coming quietly. That evening, the Korean school told us at the meeting that all of us should start from freshman year. It means that we have to spend two more years in Korea. The sudden blow made us feel at a loss. Most people cried, shouted and made trouble, but for us who just came to Korea, our strength was so limited that some people finally compromised to stay there as freshmen, while the rest and I went to another sister school as sophomores. Unfortunately, this school is a two-year junior college. It was raining all the time that week, and we were dragged around helplessly by the shuttle bus, each with more than two travel bags. My brothers and sisters who had suffered together for two years also experienced painful parting. I still remember the situation that my friends rushed over and cried when I returned there again at the weekend. This paragraph is the last thing I want to write, because even the strongest me, I was in tears every time.

In the next year, I hardly had a chance to meet my classmates there. We stayed in our small city and they started their four-year undergraduate life. Because of the new experience, everyone suddenly became more sensible. These people who came here with me are all going to be promoted, because this is the way we should have gone. Everyone is under great mental pressure, and I didn't say a word to my family. Before going abroad, my sister told me that you should take good care of yourself abroad, so far away, we can't fly to help you. It seems that all the children except me made their decisions after consulting their families. Every day, I live a closed life in the dormitory, and I am confused.

I work part-time in a restaurant at night, and then I know what the ashtray is called and what the spicy radish is called. If it's good, I will ask you where you come from with great concern. If it's not good, just say it.

This sentence is the last dialect I want to hear. When I worked all day for 12 hours, I was so tired that I sat underground and secretly shed tears when I was free. I didn't go back for the Spring Festival that year, and the opportunity came at that time. My friend was studying languages in another school. He told me that their school began enrolling students in March. Anxious, I went to their school. At that time, I didn't know if any other school wanted to transfer students in September. I quit my job on the spot and went to this school. I also got on the train in Korea for the first time. I got the application materials back from the international exchange institute, and later I learned that these can be downloaded online. Since then, I have email the admissions teacher almost every week to ask for some details, and then I told my family gently that I was going to transfer to another better school. In fact, up to now, I am also very uncomfortable to bother my family to do the materials for me again, and I cried again when I got the EMS. There is also a recommendation letter from the professor in the submitted materials. At that time, I was ignorant and didn't know how to ask for help. I told the professor directly that I needed a recommendation letter for further study. Please write me a recommendation letter. The professor said that the recommendation letter was not written for you because you asked me to, but because I thought you were good. Then I didn't give a clear answer. I tried my best to find a way, and then I asked the dean of the International Exchange Institute to write it, which also dragged on for more than a week. I was helpless at that time. Finally, I got all the materials together, sent them in the past, and then I waited a long time, waiting for the interview notice, and I was almost ready to publish the results before I came for the interview. I ran to school again and skipped class for the first time. The office teacher only waited for news, and it was less than 1 point.
