First day in English academy in Cebu, Philippines
22 AUG 2011 Today was my first day in this academy.I woke up at 6:00am desperately. When I entered the dining room, I found my roommate.Then we took breakfast but it taste was strange. Today's curriculum was only 3. 1: Level check test 2: Go to SM-mall to exchange money 3: Orientation The level check test was more difficult than I expected.I did very poorly on the grammar exam.But I had a pleasant time in speaking test. I like to speak English!But I'll be eager to study more in grammar. After the orientation, I went shopping to SM-mall to get daily necessities with my batchmates.(SM-mall is a big & beautiful deppartmentstore) Every one got a big pack of toilet papers! XDThen we took a nice Philippine dinner at restaurant.We were talking about the culture of Korea & Japan to understand and make friends each other. Korean are 70% while Japanese are 30%(5person).But this isn't common.Mostly, Japanese is only one person in the batchmates.We are Lucky! My impression of Korean is very kind and similar to Japanese.They were much more kind than I thought. In Korean TVdrama, they are usually getting angry, so I thought they are a little short and loud people before, actually.But I changed my mind.They are very kind and gentle, same as Japanese. I asked about this to my Korean friends.They said "Drama is a drama". I am looking forward to make friends with them, and improve my English skill.
