WEEK ONE : New
Life
 

I still remembered my first London trip
clearly even after one year.

I found London to be a victorious prince
charming and I felt like a butterfly winging my first flight. I think when I
caught the sparkle of London at first sight, I fell in love with him. I decided
I have to live here for the artistic breath.

Now I am here, excited, expecting, but
my heart is crowded with complex feelings. 

I have to thank my teacher Mark who was
considerate towards all of us fresh birds. He gave everyone a questionnaire,
and we had to help each other finish it, it made us closer. In my first week, I
met with new classmates and teacher.

My new life was emerging.    

WEEK TWO : Breath

It was a relaxed week, we learned
British geography, local knowledge, the form of words and how to voice your
opinion. It was very simple but useful to us.  

WEEK THREE : Challenge

From this week we had to face a new
challenge—a weekly test. The first examination was group discussion. Our topic
was “censorship”. What we had to do was made a standpoint list and talk with
other group members. We tried to create ease and reduce tension, but it did not
work.     

WEEK FOUR : Shock & Confusedness

What a great and unexpected shock! I failed my discussion test, which I
never thought I would. The worst thing was that our whole group failed, and if
we failed again, we might have to go home. This caused me so much stress that I
could not sleep and my mind was racing.

The other thing that confused me was why I could not ask for help with
my writing?

I would like asking help when I am stuck, that is how I develop myself
and learn.  

WEEK FIVE : Self-reflection

The British educational system is totally different to my country,
which has it’s own censorship in assessment. Not until now do I really
recognize a truth that British people do not mind how many mistakes you make in
your work, however, they do care about your real ability. Just be yourself, and
you will be fine.

    Wonderful life in London¬
    Firstly, you should be more confidence. You know, your english really improved by passed few months. Confidence is the key elements you should have when you debt someone.
    Secondly, you need read more books about thinking ways. You can ask your tutor to advice the book list, because you need to know how the thinking method about west education and what the key important point about art and design.
    Otherwise, your writing is good. Don\’t make yourself confusing. You should trust yourself. Anyway,English just tools to represent your thinking and your speaking. Don\’t care much about it.
    Good luck, strong women.
