ChinaOver the past two years, I have not only gained a lot of knowledge from my kind teachers, but I have also stepped outside my comfort zone and experienced what it is like to live in a new foreign language environment. I am sincerely grateful to have had such a unique experience and to have studied and lived with my classmates. I'm pretty sure this unforgettable experience will benefit me for life.
