peoples from different nations. The duration for this language exchange program is
just 3 weeks, but we have made a lot of new friends from this program. Not only from
the class, but also from the dormitory.

Taiwan, Korea and Thailand. We have developed a good relationship with other
classmates.
We have lunch together after class, played basketball and volleyball during the
time in the forest.
Apart form the class, we also meet a lot of friends from the dormitory. As all
Chung Chi students are live in UW dormitory which allow us to learn and experience
different culture and life style. We watched TV and played cards with others in
common room. And some of the Chung Chi students have roommate during their stay
in dormitory where they can experience to live with other people.
To make new friends is just a part of the program. In fact, we have to use more
English for communicating. As a result, our confidence and fluency in using English
is improved.
