What I’ve Learned

"Everything is so new to me, I feel excited to touch a new culture. The teachers, friends, buildings....They all attract me a lot."

During the 5-month bridging course, I learn academic English skills in four areas: listening, oral, reading and writing. Details below:

©        How to take notes effectively

©        How to communicate properly in English

©        How to read critically

©        How to write an academic essay

©        How to deliver an effective presentation

Besides, in DLS class I learned some very useful skills: I made my first PowerPoint and was acquainted with the APA style.

 

My Ex-curriculum Life

 

The activities MOE arranged for us were quite instructive. I learned the history and current status of Singapore from the learning journey and participated in the volunteering project to collect money for charity on Flag Day.

I joined NTUISC (Ice skating club) and NTU String Orchestra here.

 

After these months, I become more confident on communicating with foreigners. What’s more, I made many friends, also, which is the happiest thing I did here. I will cherish our happy moments forever.
