I remember last July, I just graduated from Senior Two and received an email from my friend who was a freshman in England. In the email, he talked about studying abroad. He said that many of his potentials were gradually excavated after he studied in the preparatory course and went to a foreign university. I had planned to study abroad, and I was deeply attracted by his true feelings and successful experience.

Last September, after careful consideration, I chose and came to the International Department of Chengdu No.7 Middle School to study in the international study program. For me, everything here is new: new classrooms, new libraries; New teacher, new classmate; A new road, a new beginning. The first day of study and life made my eyes shine: when I reported to the administrative office, Mr. Zhang from the office asked me questions in fluent English and told me to communicate with teachers in English from now on; The classroom is much smaller, with only 12 students. Everyone forms a circle around the desk. Teachers and classmates sit together and discuss topics one by one. When students express their opinions, teachers, like primary school students, hold their chins in their hands and listen carefully; Whenever students express their views, teachers always give praise and encouragement. There is no absolute right or wrong here, there is no gap between teachers and students, there is no distance, although there are occasional red-faced arguments because of a certain problem, the whole classroom is still full of laughter and joy. At that time, my English was not very good, and I was afraid to speak in class. The teacher made me speak in class on purpose. Whenever there is an English debate in the class, the teacher encourages me to take part. Usually, my classmates chat with me in English. Day after day, with the help of teachers and classmates and my own efforts, my English level has gradually improved and my self-confidence has also increased. I began to have a strong interest in preparatory study.
