學習心得/Kevin

    回想起在菲律賓宿霧學習英文的日子，我只能說一個月的時間真的讓我見識很多，也讓我的英文能力有大大的進步，從害怕用英文和外國人對話到樂於和外國人交談、我想這是我經過一個月的學習最大的改變。

    生活在WINNING的日子，每位老師一對一專業的教導，讓我的英文能力進步許多，從英文的發音課程、商業英文到專業的多益課程，每堂課老師所準備的內容遠比我想像中的豐富，其中讓我印象最深刻的就是老師會透過模擬面試的方式，讓我用英文來回答面試官所問的問題，這對未來我在應徵工作時，是一個很棒的練習，提早讓我準備也學習該如何用正確的英文來回答問題。

    此外outside exposures也是一個很棒的體驗，因緣際會下我參加了在當地所舉辦的jobfair，WINNING安排我去面試10位當地的菲律賓人，嘗試問他們一些問題並且記錄他們回答問題的重點，這對我來說，是一個很不一樣的體驗，因為我從來沒有真正當一個主管去問應徵者問題，更何況是透過英文來溝通。

   而讓我印象最深的還有在BTC的college intramural活動，BTC是當地一個大學，專門培育專職的英文老師，因此裡面的學生英文能力都很厲害，而剛好那段時間學校有活動讓學生們闖關，因此我就分配到某一組跟著他們去闖關，過程中真的非常有趣，像是有籃球比賽、歌唱大賽、自組樂團等等，我也教到很多當地的朋友，到現在還跟他們在臉書上聯絡，也真的很懷念和他們在學校一起玩耍的日子。

   而最後是在六日的戶外教學，讓我在滿滿專業的課程之外，擁有好好放鬆的日子，但是有別於其他語言學校，WINNING會幫我們安排好行程，連司機也會幫我們安排好，你只要帶著一顆去玩的心就可以出發了，真的是非常體貼。

    雖然待在WINNING的日子沒有很長，但是我真的很享受那段時間，除了英文能力的進步外，更重要的是我在菲律賓見識許多，像是不同文化的食物、人或是旅遊景點，這些都讓我難以忘懷，希望之後有機會，還能到WINNING學英文，以及看看我在當地交的好朋友們。WINNING真的是一個很棒的語言學校，如果你還在考慮要選哪間語言學校時，WINNING一定是你最佳的選擇。

What will the best experience in my life? I can truly say that is was the life that I stay in Cebu. When my
parents told me that I needed to study abroad for one month in Cebu, I felt nervous and frightened
because it was my first time to study alone in another country. And also I can’t understand the meaning
when they are talking. However, the experience was totally different than I thought.
Life in Cebu was always full of prosperity and challenges. The classes in Winning English do not only have
professional lessons but also have outside exposures. For professional lessons, I learned a lot such as
pronunciation, fluency in speaking English, business English and also TOEIC skills. On the other hand, the
outside exposures deeply influenced me a lot. College intramurals and job fair showed me a lot about the
culture they have and the way they treat people in Cebu. I can really say that I have an improvement with
my English ability and also have deeply learned about the different culture.
In addition to learning English, taking trips in Cebu are also important for me. OSLOB is famous for whale
shark watching. It was very amazing when I had seen the whale shark just near me. I hadn’t had the
experience to see a huge whale shark in front of me even in the museum. With white dots and black body, I
was stunned when it swam around me. That was truly the best experience to see whale shark in the closed
range.
The college intramural in BTC, the excitement I felt just can’t be put into words. Those two days life in BTC
really impressed me. First, although the amazing race really made me exhausted because we had to run on
the street at noon, but my teammates always cheered me up and also encouraged me. It lifted me up that I
could finish all challenges even if I was worn out. Second, I was truly astonished by their voices of the
people in BTC when they had their singing competition. The voice they had seemed to be the real singer. I
really enjoyed and I also felt relax while listening to the music. Lastly, I am speechless about their
personality. They were so friendly and nice that they treated me as their family. They will be in my mind
and I will never forget them.
It is difficult to relay this message but I have to. For my teachers: Teacher Mej- Thank you for being like my
mother, you always ask questions but you help me to get rid of my shyness; Teacher J- Thank you for being
Mom J, you give me a lot of information about the tourist destination in Cebu and it help me to imagine
and ponder the beauty of your place; Teacher Hannah- I can’t forget the sound of your guffaw and also the
photo that you had hugged with your EX. It help me also to be prepared if I will be in a relationship in the
future. Teacher Ivy- Thank you for giving me jokes even if it’s not funny, I still laugh with you. It helps me to
be serious and to be funny because our class is totally serious. Teacher Resty- Thank you for showing me
the sincerity on how to speak with emotions. It helps me to be sincere when I talk to someone. For the
staffs- Kuya- Thank you for preparing me mouth-watering dishes, it’s better than in Taiwan. I will really miss
the food, when I go back to Taiwan. Ate Dita- Thank you for washing my clothes and cleaning my room,it
help me to have a comfortable stay. Last but not the least, to Stanley and Malcom- Thank you for arranging
me a lot of activity and treating me like a VIP.

I can truly say that it is not how long I stay in Cebu, but how much I enjoy, that fills my life with happiness. I
will never forget the day we spent together.
