The First Day in School

This is my first day in this language school. I had a test in the moring. In the afternoon, Jade who is the manager of China and Taiwan(China) students, introduced the information about this school to me and another Taiwanese girl. After that, R.J introduced the course of this school for all new students beginning class this week. Then R.J took us to look around the local area, especially the currency exchange site. After that we back to school to pay the study fees. At last, the school had a welcoming party for the new students.

The test was very interesting. During the listening part, we were shown a picture once and listened to four sentences, then we had to chose the closest sentence for the picture. For example: The woman was typing at the computer. The reading part was just some multiple-choice questions. At the writing part, we must wrote a issue (sentence/paragraph/description/story??) about a picture. In that picture, there was a woman and a man infront of a flower store, they were smiling. Before the welcoming party, I got the result about my test, it's 4 of 10. My level was HIGH BEGINNER. My writing score is very lowed, just 2 of 10. I think it because I had too many spelling mistake, and I did not have a good story about the picture.

In the welcoming party, all the new students introduced themselves and then we played a game called Bingo. First, everyone got some colored card and some white card which had three rows and three columns, you had to write down your name on the colored card and in the centre grid of the white card. After that, you introduced yourself to eight other people, asked their names, and let them write down their name in other boxes of the white paper. Next, the host collected all the color paper in a box, and extracted one piece at a time. You marked the name the host extracted on your white paper. If the names of you paper was in a line, you should call 'Bingo', and you can get a prize for free beers provided by the Q-bay the bar in the first floor of this building. I did win the prize, but it was very interesting, exciting game, because you must introduce yourself to other strangers, and ask for their help.


It was a very good first day! I hope the classes tomorrow will interesting!
