I have been to Oxford-3 There was an service which was provided by my future school: we could pay for the special car, and we could take it to our accommodation directly. However, we didn't pay for it because we thought it is too expensive. Another reason was that we want to try to take transportation from Heathrow Airport to Oxford. We got off the plane and walked through the airport. It was easy to find the direction because the English sign was clear. In another country, there are their own language and English on the signs in the airport. In London, there is only ONE language on the sign. It was very new to me because there are always two or more languages on the signs in the airports or train stations. We passed the custom and took our luggage very quickly, and we got in the lobby of the airport. I had search the information about the coach from Heathrow Airport to Oxford, and I knew we had to take National Express. The problem was: where is it? Where can we take it? The first step, I found the information center and I asked the service member about the information of National Express. The service member was not kind and he looked reluctant to reply my question, so I didn’t get clear information. We still had to find the coach station by ourselves. Unfortunately, we spent about half hour but we couldn’t find out the coach station, and I came to service center and asked again. He was still reluctant to reply me, but this time I got the clearer information: the coach station was at another floor – I forget which floor – and we finally arrived the coach station and we bought the tickets. Before we got on the coach, we didn’t know which was the coach heading to Oxford, so I asked the one of the drivers. It was lucky that the driver was the one who will drive to Oxford, but it was unlucky that the driver was reluctant to reply my question as well.

I have been to Oxford-2 Taking the long distant flight was very fresh to me. The logest time I have ever spent on the plane is the flight I went to Urumqi, China, from Xi'an, China. It took five hours. But this time I went to the UK from Taiwan, the flight took about 19 hours! It made me excited but worry. I was excited because that was my first time to stay on the plane for such a long time, but I was worry because I didn't know if it would be too tiring to me. On the plane, I watch three movies which I was interesed in but I haven't watched before I went to the UK. The three movie is Fast and Furious 7, Inside Out and Mad Max. I was excited when I found that there were these new movies on the plane. About 5 hours after we departed from Taiwan, we arrived to Bangkok, Thailand, for transit. It was my first experience to transit and go to Thailand. It was very hot and humid in Thailand even if we stayed in airport. We spent 5 hours from Taiwan to Thailand, that is, we were going to spend another 14 hours from Thailand to London, the UK. Thanks for the movies and the excellen service by the flight attendants of Evergreen Airways, The 14 hours was not too long and we arrived to Heathrow Airport, London.

I have been to Oxford-1 Two years ago, I went to Oxford to study language school for one month. That's the first time I went to the country which is outside Asia. The reason I chose to study in Oxford is interesting. One day the representative of language school of Queen's Land University came to my school for promoting the language program, and I was curious so I attended the orientation. After the orientation, I really wanted to join this program but it is too expensive to me, so I gave up and forgot it. Another day, my girlfriend told me she saw the advertisement of an exhibition about studying abroad and asked me if I wanted to attend. Curious again, I attended. During the exhibition, we found that the programs of the UK schools were surprisingly cheaper and more affordable than the programs of other countries. We signed up for the language school immediately. The school we chose is Oxford School of English. Why did we choose it? Why didn't we choose Cambrige or other cities in the UK? Just because the representative of OSE, Peter, are very kind to us. That's all reasons!
