also allowed me to have the chances to experience the culture of Americans by talking to them. Teresa I really enjoy this language exchange program. This program is well organized which include both lesson and activity after school. The program gives us the opportunities to meet news friends, use English for communication and explore American Culture. Sight seeing around Seattle is absolutely fantastic, for example, we have visited Falls, Mountain and watched baseball match. The amount of work in class is reasonable. Even thought we have to give a presentation for the American culture, the experience gained from the interview is unforgettable. Group working allows us to share our ideas with others. Overall speaking, the program is well organized and meet my own objectives. Eric “How much I expected and I am expected to improve my English?” I don’t know and I don’t expect any. Frankly speaking, I didn’t whole-heartedly participate in all lessons and activities. Still, I spent these three weeks meaningfully and definitely changed my life and paved one more path for my future. I said “meaningfully” because I like taking photo and this trip provided me a great chance to spend three weeks to focus on this hobby. Of course I am not a professional photographer but I am satisfied with my products. The perfect environment, the perfect historical buildings and the nice people contributed to my wonderful pictures. Thank you very much! I must admit that I used to be “the frog living at the bottom of a deep well”. This trip to Seattle broadened my horizon much! You can find many you never think about 35
it there. For example, I experienced and learned the facilities provided for disabilities. I believe Seattle is a city for all people but not the environment only for the majority. My final year project is related to this topic. I read many literatures and case studies but I can never know the real situation and can only find it out in this trip. So, we should go to explore our own first-hand data besides reading the second-hand information. In Seattle, I got many free times that I could stay alone. I walked around the city, experienced the culture and thought about myself. I can never get this chance in Hong Kong as I need to rush for my life in Hong Kong. I thought about my life, my past and my future, my happiness and sadness, my goals and regrets… My spirit have been refreshed and I know much more myself now and much clear for my future. AND I believe this is even more important than learning English, right? Gordon Comments on Seattle language tour. When I first arrived at Seattle Tacoma Airport, I felt a little bit disappointed because the weather was not good. It was raining all the day and I was tired after a long flight from Hong Kong via Japan to Seattle. However, I still had to bother things like buying linens and some basic essentials. It made me feel unhappy at that moment. Fortunately, on the following day, rain stopped and sunshine came. This gave me a good hope, just like Seattle wanted to tell me: “the journey would be full of fun”. I became energetic after a good sleep and started meeting some new friends in the University of Washington (U-Dub) in Seattle. I lived in Mercer Hall during the programme and met a local student called Eric. He lived beside my room in the hall. He studies Psychology and now is his final year’s study. He was talkative and friendly. Although he had examinations this summer, he still chatted with we guys and told me what should be noticed in the hall. Luckily to meet Eric! Also, from him, I heard that the university study scheme in the US lasts for four years usually. This differs from the scheme in Hong Kong, which usually lasts for three years only. It is a great difference. 36
