China in the eyes of Korean students.
China is a country with many people and many things. However, I have never regretted choosing to study in China. After finishing the junior high school course in Korea, I decided to study in China with unlimited opportunities according to my parents' guidance. After finishing high school in China, I was admitted to China Renmin University.
Renmin University? Such a school name will definitely make Koreans sound less pleasant. However, this is one of the famous institutions of higher learning in China, and only the children of senior officials or cadres or high flyers can enter this famous university.
The first day I stepped into the campus, I thought, "I finally started a new life" and began to weave my future college life. I'm excited too. However, after the new semester started, the first class of more than 80 China students made me sigh involuntarily. Although I didn't expect the professor to adjust the teaching method from the beginning with international students in mind, it was really "excessive". The important content left by the professor on the blackboard seems to be rows of crawling earthworms. For me, it is not a language note, but just a string of code words that need to be interpreted.
When I entered the school, I thought I did well in the Chinese exam, and casually thought, "Can I still keep up with the lecture?" But the result made me dizzy. Half of the content of the class can't be understood, and the other half depends on asking students in China and borrowing their notes. Now think about it, those students who let me concentrate on the class and help me take notes are really my mentors and friends, and they are my strength to persevere in a strange environment.
What surprises me most when I attend classes in China is the communication between teachers and students. When listening to the class, if the teacher's idea is different from his own, students in China will boldly raise their hands and ask for discussion with the teacher. In Korea, it is generally believed that the teacher's words are beyond doubt, no matter right or wrong, they are just absorbing knowledge and listening to them all. However, China students here never let go of every question. In addition, teachers attach great importance to students who disagree with their own views and have a heated discussion. Sometimes they call students who don't like to ask questions "wood".
Living in China, the most personal feeling is the enthusiasm of college students in China. You can open the book stand anywhere in the school to study. Especially when learning English, we read aloud and don't care about the people around us at all (of course, the library is very quiet). Students in China are reading English aloud, and only foreigners look at them with strange feelings. For China, reading English aloud is nothing special.
I happened to have the opportunity to go to my classmate's dormitory in China. There are six to eight people in a dormitory, and there is no room for personal desks at all, so there are piles of things in every corner. At that time, I thought, how can I study in such a place? But they said, put the curtain on the bed and study in it. It's a shame to see that they study hard and don't complain about such an environment. Especially looking at the classroom that didn't turn off the lights until the wee hours, and looking at China who was absorbed in his study there, I couldn't help thinking that "the future of China must be infinitely bright". When I want to be lazy, their tireless figures always spur me to cheer up.
I'm a senior now and next semester. If I sum up my experience, it can be summed up in one sentence: a safe haven is not a paradise. If I take myself as an international student, my language is worse than others, and my culture is different as an excuse to comfort myself, then I don't think there will be me now. It is my classmates in China who constantly encourage me to motivate myself and work hard to realize my dream. They have become a stimulant for my study abroad. The life of studying abroad is coming to an end, and I swear in my heart that I will never forget the enthusiasm and hard work I learned here.
The above is China among Korean students, I hope I can help you.
