待在24小時全英文環境中，可以迫使自己開口說英文，以及學習更多生活用語。

What makes you want to go abroad to learn English?

Because I want to stay in an all English environment. It forces me to speak in English.  And I can learn many basic languages from abroad life.

What is your experience about learning English in Taiwan? What is your suggestion to someone who wants to learn English to go abroad?

In Taiwan, my English teachers were always focus on grammar and reading. Because we need to  prepare English for our entrance exam. I almost don’t have a chance to speak in English.

I would like to suggest whoever wants to learn English to go abroad that the priority is lay the foundation of your English grammar. Then you can be more efficient in learning English in a foreign country.

Questions part 2:

A.當你第一步踏上菲律賓的土地時，有什麼最讓你感到驚訝?什麼是最讓你打破原本對菲律賓的刻版印象?

剛到菲律賓時，讓我感到驚訝的莫過於交通了，市區車流量多，交通號誌少，很難抓住過馬路的時機。

來菲律賓前，我一直認為菲律賓很危險，但來這裡生活之後，發現治安沒有想像中的差(但也不好)，只是能需多加注意隨身物品的安全。

What surprised you the most when you arrived in Philippines? What was broken for Philippines’s  stereotype?

I was surprise at the chaotic traffic when I just arrived in Cebu.  There are many cars in the city, but there are only a few traffic lights. It is very difficult to cross the road and I usually can’t catch the right time.

I had been considered that Philippines was a very dangerous country and the law and order was not good. But I found the law and order are not as bad as I imagined. (But I think they are also not very good.) You need to be careful of your belongings and your safety.   

B.你對NexSeed的第一印象是什麼?

校園不大，學生多為日本人。

What is your first impression of NexSeed?

The school is not big. Most of the students are Japanese.

C.說說你在學習過程中最讓你印象深刻的事?

以前在台灣較不注重口說及發音，來菲律賓之後才發現自己不會分辨及發出正確/ey/、

/ε/、/e/的音，除了發音課之外，也時常被糾正。由於糾正頻率太高，使我對這幾個音印象什分深刻。

Tell us what are the most impressive in the learning process?

We usually don’t focus particularly on speaking and pronunciation in Taiwan. But after I came to Philippines,I found out that I can’t distinguish and speak the right sound in English. For example, the sound of /ey/、/ε/ and /e/. Beside the pronunciation class, I also usually be corrected in other classes. Because there are too many times I was corrected so I am very impress in these pronunciations.

D.可以分享對你影響最大的一位老師他的教學方法嗎?你從中學習到對你英文最有幫助的是什麼?

每個老師教學方式不同，影響也不同。對我來說，沒有影響最大的教學方式，但就共同點而言，每個老師都會糾正發音、文法及補充更多相關單字。我認為這對我的口說技巧很有幫助。

Can you share with us about one of your teacher’s teaching method that has the greatest impact on you? What is the most helpful thing you learn from your English class?

Each teacher has their own way in teaching English. So, there are different effects for me. In my view, none of them gave the greatest impact or least impact to me.They have their own way. But the biggest common ground is that all of my  teachers corrected  my pronunciation and grammar. Also they taught me more English words. I think it is helpful for my pronunciation skills.  

E.當初你有設定目標要學習到什麼樣的英文程度嗎?那到目前為止，有依照這個目標前進嗎?

來這裡前，希望自己聽說讀寫都能顯著進步，尤其是口說，希望能達到與他人交談的程度。我認為在剛來到這裡的第一個禮拜，口說便有明顯的進步。到目前為止，雖然離目標還有很長一段距離，但我會繼續努力，增加字彙量來精進各方面的技巧。

Have you ever had a goal to learn English? So far, did you follow this goal?

I hope I can have obvious improvement on my listening,speaking,reading and writing in English. Especially, speaking in English. And I also hope I can be fluent in talking with others. I think I had an obvious improvement on speaking in English when I came to Cebu after first week. So far, there is still a long distance goal. But I will keep it up. I will learn more English words to remember and to improve my skill.

A.可以分享你在宿霧學習和生活的方式嗎?例如，平日幾點起床，幾點去學校，幾點下課，下課後的生活是什麼?假日的生活又是什麼?

平常日，我會於7:30起床，8:30搭接駁車到學校，直到16:50下課再搭接駁車回宿舍。平日下課後，我會和朋友一起吃晚餐，用完餐後便回到宿舍寫作業。

假日，我們會安排一天出遊，或是到知名百貨商城逛街購物，另一天則是留在宿舍完成周末寫作和體驗課作業。

Can you share your way of learning English and living in Cebu?

On weekdays, I get up at 7 :30 in the morning. And then I take a van to school. Until 4:50 in the afternoon. I take another van again to go back to my dormitory.

After I finish my classes, I usually eat dinner with my friends. Then, I do my homework in dorm room.

On weekends, we arrange a day to have a trip or go to shopping malls. In other days, sometimes I stay in my room to write my experience class and weekend writing homework.

B.最後說說你對NexSeed的感想。

真的十分感謝NexSeed老師親切有耐心的教導，讓害怕說英文的我能向前跨一大步。這邊的老師不僅是老師，還是很棒的朋友，總是能毫無顧忌天南地北的聊，且假日還能一同出遊，拜訪宿霧知名景點和海灘。真的不知道該用什麼詞語來表達我對老師的感謝!

此外，雖然在這段期間也發生的一些令人不快和不滿意的事，但是，若還有機會，我還是會選擇來NexSeed學習。

Share your thoughts about NexSeed.

I am very grateful to my teachers. They are very kind and patient in teaching me. I was so afraid to speak English before. But they let me take a big step forward to speak English. They are not only my teachers but also my best friends. We always speak up everything and we travel together to visit famous attractions and beaches on weekends in Cebu. I really don’t know how can I show my gratitude to them. I cannot use any language to describe my appreciation.

Besides, though there are some unhappy and dissatisfied with something. But if there is a chance I will still choose NexSeed to learn English.
