Studying in Singapore is a lucky thing.

# Studying in Singapore # Introduction Many high school students regard studying abroad as their choice after failing in the college entrance examination, because they want to prove to everyone that failing once does not mean failing for life! In the college entrance examination, Chen, whose English scores held her back, also risked studying abroad. The idea at that time was: I must impress everyone. After getting to know each other, parents chose Singapore. The bilingual environment in Singapore can provide a buffer for Chen, who has poor English, and it is a safer choice for Chen and his parents. 1 month later, Chen came to Singapore. Let's take a look.

No matter how thin the foundation is, the face is not thin;

Chen's first impression of Singapore is: fresh and clean. Chen, who is going abroad for the first time, is very careful in everything for fear of making mistakes. The intermediary company applied to Chen for a local language school in Singapore. Once the teacher asked him a question in English, and Chen hung his head shyly because he didn't understand it at all. At this point, the whole classroom was silent and quiet for more than 1 minute. Although this is not a joke in Chen's English learning process, for Chen Lai, this minute's silence has brought him great touch. This embarrassment finally made Chen determined to overcome the language barrier as soon as possible. Chen goes home to review and preview every day, vowing to learn English well in two months and answer every question of the teacher fluently. In order to learn English, Chen often has the cheek to talk with local people. Starting with a greeting, Chen learned to guess the tone of the other person and then tried to communicate more. In fact, friends in Singapore are very friendly, which breaks the sense of estrangement in Chen's heart. Chen said that if you are an international student from China, if you can't speak English well, they will take the initiative to communicate with you in Mandarin, which may not be standard, but if you insist on speaking in English, the other party will try their best to cooperate with you. At first, the two sides often smiled at each other because they couldn't hear each other's pronunciation clearly, and then they laughed again. Time and time again, Chen's sense of language has been cultivated. Chen has another question: how to scrimp and save. I don't want to take a bus, so I'll buy a bike. If there is no bicycle lane in Singapore, Chen will have to take the mountain road and the steps, and ride a bike 1 hour every day in high temperature to get to school. ...

Teachers are life mentors;

After studying the language course for half a year, Chen took the language test of the school and enrolled in the business administration course of the East Asia Management Institute in Singapore. The most attractive thing for the whole college is the knowledgeable teachers and colorful team activities. Every teacher is a mentor of 10 years of business and related professional experience. They will tell students many interesting workplace stories, simple life truths and professional knowledge.

A teacher told Chen that after he graduated from the United States, he stayed in a 5-level hotel as a lobby manager, responsible for receiving the distinguished guests of the hotel. After a very distinguished VIP guest and his wife checked into the hotel, the guest went out for a meeting that day, leaving only his wife in the hotel. Soon, the wife called the front desk service, and the teacher went out in person according to the procedure. However, after opening the door, I found that this VIP lady was not properly dressed. The teacher said that when he saw such a scene, he immediately opened the door and kept it open, keeping a certain distance from the lady. During the whole process, the teacher politely asked the lady's request and showed the hotel's policies and regulations professionally. This short story makes Chen Mingbai know that anything can happen abroad, depending on how he handles it. The teacher showed his composure and courtesy, and also maintained his reputation. In fact, no matter which country you are in, whether you are working or studying, you must first give people a professional feeling if you want to handle problems calmly.

Experience after investigation:

The course that Chen is most interested in is business management, on the one hand, because it is his major. On the other hand, because this course can give Chen more opportunities to communicate with local people. Sometimes, teachers will let students go out of the classroom and do social surveys. Students write their own forms and questions, and then take to the streets, airports and companies to do questionnaires. Although this process is very bitter, every interview with passers-by will make Chen feel a sense of accomplishment. Although this is only part of the course, it is actual combat. Students can learn a lot through such exercises, such as blocking skills, speaking style, patience and politeness. Chen's experience is: be polite and patient when investigating, and be clever when asking personal questions. For example, when asking for a phone number, ask, "What's your phone number? 9xxxx "so that people will pay attention to your questions and then answer them.

Last year, Chen received undergraduate diplomas from Queen's University and Singapore East Asia Management Institute. Returning to China after graduation, Chen soon found a suitable job in Shanghai. In Chen's view, it is not difficult to find a job after graduation. Whether to stay in Singapore for development or return to China for employment depends on which opportunity comes earlier. For him, going abroad is a very lucky thing.
