My life in Aus 3 Then the shopping experience was the next that challenged me a lot. I don’t know what would anyone thought when they walked into a supermarket, had a look on the shelf and found out that they know only know 50% of the language that print on the packing box. Even though I know what the products were by guessing from the picture on the packing box or the products themselves, I was still freaking out because of so many unfamiliar vocabularies. Being shocked by the situation, I didn’t give up, I went to the supermarket three times a week with my e-dictionary along with me. I hope some of them didn’t think me as a thief when I stood in front of the shelf looking at some products for almost half an hour, mumbling. : p The studying experience wasn’t all good at the beginning. And If I have known that my English wasn’t good enough for listening to the lecture 45 minutes without a break, I would have had worked harder on improving my English level. Here I have to say, the education system really differ a lot between china and abroad. In Aus, every single essay that were required to be done, critical thinking was involved, as well as group discussing. They care so much about what we think about the topic and they want brainstorm from our own knowledge. Its so new to me even though sometimes it almost killed me because of the words limitation. What made my school life harder was my Indian tutor….I have no problem with India, I never being racial discriminated, but I really have problem understanding what my Indian teachers said. Anyway, nothing could have stopped me if I pull myself together, every time before the Indian teacher’s class, I made sure i did enough preview and review, afterwards I gradually get used to my Indian teacher’s accent which I rewarded myself a box of chocolates. My life here was good apart from the fact that I was a bad chef. I made some local friends. We chatted a lot, exchange ideas and values about everything. That’s the end of my life in Aus, it is a beautiful country, with amazing scenes and kind local people. I wish I could be there again.
