speak, that will make my English more difficult to understand. And I thought the same situation in Taiwan, if there is a foreigner talk to me with a very strange Chinese, will I laugh at him? No! No way! Because I know that Chinese is not their mother language, so if they talk to me, I must think that he is so brave to talk to a Taiwanese, so I think no matter how my grammar is bad, American will never laugh at me, because English is not my mother language. And that belief improves me to talk to more people in America.

　　And the second harvest I gained from America is that I made a lot of friends in there. In the UWest, we met a lot of people that came from different country, include Chinese, Korea, Japan…, and we just live near by the Korean, so we started our friendship with Korean. Although our language is different, but we still like to talk to each other in English, and also because that, I began to get interest in Korea, I even asked them teach me a little Korean to me, and I promise to them, if I have opportunities, I must visit Korea once in my life.

　　If there is something I want to suggest, I think I want to suggest that school should not add another group suddenly and without any notice, though that makes me make more friends during the trip, but I think I lost more chance to speak English, because all the day when we went to classes, there’s all Taiwanese or Chinese, so we don’t have to worry about the language, then we just talk Chinese to each other, and actually we don’t speak a lot of English.

　　In conclusion, I think I got a lot of memories in America, I am so glad that I have that opportunity to go to America, or maybe I will stay in Taiwan all my life, so thanks all the people who helped me in all the journey, thanks a lot!

　　這次從美國遊學回來之後，我覺得我真的學到了很多東西。對我來說，我覺得最重要的事情就是我能夠在他人面前開口說話了。在美國這段期間，我碰到了很多的情況，迫使我必須要用英文和他人溝通，剛開始我還是覺得很緊張，我真的不敢想像如果美國人聽不懂我說的話我會有多丟臉，但是我發現如果我不能夠放輕鬆講英文的話，那只會讓我的英

　　我在美國的第二個收穫是我在西來大學交了很多的好朋友，我遇到了很多從不同國家來的學生，包括中國、韓國、日本…等等，而且我們剛好和韓國人住在隔壁，所以我們和韓國的學生們建立了良好的友誼。雖然我們的語言不通，但是我們還是很喜歡和他們一起用英文聊天，也因為常常和他們聊天，我對韓國也開始起了興趣。我甚至要他們教我一點簡單的韓文，而且我跟他們說如果我真的還有機會可以出國的話，我一定會去拜訪一下韓國。

　　如果說我還有什麼事情是想要建議的話，我認為學校不應該另外再多加其他的人和我們一起行動，而且沒有告訴我們還有其他的人，雖然這樣也讓我交到了很多的好朋友，但是我認為這樣反而讓我喪失了更多的機會去練習說英文，因為每天我們要去上課的時候，班上總是有很多的臺灣人和中國人，所以當我們想要講話的時候，我們都不用擔心語言的問題，我們只要說中文就可以了，因此我們並沒有說到很多的英文。
