林佩穎心得

Published by admin under 林佩穎

在機場和家人的擁抱說再見,現在仍歷歷在目地在腦海裡播放,一切彷彿只是昨日的事。一個人從自己的舒適圈,踏入一個人身地不熟的新世界。
剛到文化營時,身旁的聲音,依然是熟悉的語言,只是偶爾混雜了一些英語。直到大家分開文化營的那一天,那個真正大家要獨自展開飛翔的一天。一個人膽戰心驚的坐飛機;一個人住入陌生人的家;一個人進入完全不同制度的學校。開始學習當另外一個家的小孩,開始學習自己做家事,開始學習適應另一個生活作息,開始學習如何打入美國高中的生活,開始學習怎麼交朋友,開始了解原來在台北的我 是多麼幸福的。第一次,半夜不舒服起床吐了,卻要一個人默默拿被單、床單和衣服去洗,一個人默默的找藥吃,還要害怕吵醒別人,頂著不適的身體做了全部大大小小的事。感覺很疲憊,卻很有成就感。
剛進入學校的時候,覺得這裡壓根就是一場災難。一個人在校園奔跑,找教室。 中途的休息時間只有五分鐘,卻要從學校的一頭奔向最遠的另一頭教室。 獨自的一人,卻要從陌生的同學們中找到夥伴。 從一字一句翻譯課本的日子,開始變得順暢些。很多以前總覺得這一些事都是天方夜譚,漸漸的才發現原來事情並沒有想像中的困難那麼難。只要肯做,沒有什麼事是不可能。美式足球比賽的初體驗,親自感受到美國人的熱情與活力,即使我都看不懂,仍就可以和他們一起蹦蹦跳跳的為自己的學校加油!
到了異鄉,才能真正體會到台灣的美好。台北的交通比較方便,台北的街道比較乾淨,台北的治安比較好,台北的食物比較美味……雖然偶爾還是會想起台灣的美好,但是身在美國的我,也是幸福的。這裡的空氣很清新,這裡的人很友善,這裡的生活很輕鬆。這裡的每一個人都像是美國家庭的一份子。到商店買個東西,店員會問你How are you?;在外過生日,路人會和過來和你說Happy Birthday!;走在校園,不認識的同學會和你說Hi!,這裡充滿了美式熱情。
到美國的前三個月,改變了很多:變成熟,變懂事,變勇敢,開始懂得去感恩,開始懂得要主動出擊,開始對自己的事負責,開始學習要怎麼溝通,開始學習交朋友…同樣都是三個月,這一次卻成長了很多。

時間過得很快,轉眼間,我來法國已經三個月了,說長不長,說短不短,這是一個剛好可以比較的時間,我們在國外,不知不覺的成長、與其他人接觸,了解其他國家的生活方式,在這裡,我們所做的一切,都是為了能讓我們能在未來的道路上,更有方向。
在台灣,所有事情都非常方便,爸媽就像兩位沒有領薪水的管家一樣,無須多說,總是暗地裡的幫你打理好一切,對我們也許可以百般地忍耐,我們做錯事,念一念就過去了,因為我們都長大了,所以少有打罵。有錯,還不一定會改,死皮賴臉地賴皮。我到法國三個月,讓我深深地體會到,同樣的錯誤絕對不要犯第二次,做錯事很平常,大家都會做錯事,可是要如何更正,似乎總是對某些人來說有點困難,以前在台灣的我,也是。或許我們可以這樣說,就是「懶」。因為我們太習慣有人的保護,總會有人替我們善後‧‧‧‧‧‧如果我們不自己做的話。但是我們現在是借住別人家,轟爸媽不是我們的爸媽,沒有義務要幫我們處理任何事情,一次兩次的錯,可以接受,但是同樣的錯誤一而再再而三,我的轟家就會想,你到底有沒有注意聽我在說話?你有沒有在尊重我?等到受不了了,
就會很坦白的跟我講他們的想法。
還記得有一次,我因為刷牙洗臉完沒有擦乾洗手槽,讓轟媽幫我收尾,等我再見到轟媽,他很生氣地跟我說:我每天工作都很累,我沒有時間幫你做你自己該做的事,另外,我也不是你的傭人,所以也沒必要幫你做這些事,你已經16歲了,可以說是小大人了,如果連這點事都做不好,那你以後覺得你會怎麼樣?讓我生氣的不是我要幫你擦乾洗手槽,而是我跟你講過了,可是你為什麼沒有馬上改?馬上有反應?一定要我這樣跟你說。
是阿,如果我連這樣最基本的都有問題的話,我以後想怎樣?我在台灣的時候老爸常跟我說,我甚麼都好,就是沒辦法馬上更正錯誤,而你也不是不行,你是懶’。
這就是你最大的麻煩,要好好想辦法把這個懶,給去掉,人都有惰性,但是惰性不是用在這個時候,他會給你很大的麻煩。
對,很大的麻煩,現在知道了,這比用打的用罵的還難看。
轟家就像一面放大鏡,隨時檢視我們查覺不到的問題,也是一面鏡子,讓我們也可以藉此看看,在台灣我們到底有哪些好習慣、壞習慣。有人隨時在我們背後一直提醒我們,該注意哪些細節、應該怎麼做會更好。轟家把我們都當成大人依樣在看待,給我們應有的尊重,但像對的,他們也期望得到相等的回應。
做這個交換計畫,讓我在台灣也許得花一段時間才改的掉的毛病,在這一年一步一步的慢慢改掉了,花一年少走了許多冤枉路,真的很值得。也許在學校上的課我完全都聽不懂,但是在生活中,這些事情比學校還重要,做不到,說再多也沒有用,不是一蹴可及,但開始做,就會有回報,我們到外地一年,就是為了要讓自己更成熟,三個月過了,我可以很肯定的說,我變得更成熟了。當然,這不會是終點,還有很多問題在等我去解決。

乎~~~打完了,在公園打起來的就是不一樣,很自在,美景配文字,此樂人生何求?

余承蓉心得 2010/12/15

來到這應近100天了吧!
突然覺得自己很勇敢,
傻傻的上了飛機,
同一班飛機上遇到小學的好友,帶我直到轉機,
轉機碰上國內航空服務人員的刁難
(妳就是要付$60)(搶錢啊!…)
還是華人呢!故意講英文讓我聽不太懂,
而後又碰上親切的亞裔經理
(好在這等待的5個小時夠長讓我等上了,服務員趕緊落跑…怒)
國內航線中遇到熱情的”台灣人”
(妳也要去費城阿?)(阿妳不是台灣人嗎?),
剛到的第3天就被用言語”當面”鄙視,
(她們不可能比我們美國人有禮貌,我們文化比較優秀)
有時候太聰明聽得懂也不是件好事,
轟媽年輕到足以當我姐姐,超”隨性”,
沒有太多家規,也沒有自由,
(家的四周都是玉米田,想往哪去阿?同學要戴我也難,真的太遠),
3天的泳隊,
休息2天後發現自己傷勢嚴重,
差點不能吹長笛。
什麼好事都被我碰上了,什麼壞事也被我遇上了,
看到我一波三折的經歷,想必心臟要很好,
(心情起伏落差超大…好啦!搞笑就到此為止)
回過頭來,發現自己真的很勇敢,
也很感謝經歷的這一切。
如果沒有碰到好友,恐怕就消失在機場,
(遇到問題就手足無措)
也可能再也將不連絡,
若沒碰上服務員的刁難,大概只會認為別人的善意是應該的,
原本認為有年輕的媽媽很好,直到現在才了解一位真正懂自己孩子的母親最為重要,
原先為不能參加學校的活動而忿怒,
好在每一次的挫折,每一次的低落,都有一個理由讓我堅強的度過,豁然開朗,
倘若這不是好運,那又是什麼呢?
“國外的月亮並非比較圓”
4年前的今天,我在AYUSA的學生分享中讀到,
當時的我想,有可能嗎?沒有像台灣的課業壓力,
加上國外的父母又是比較”放任式”的教導。
然而,並非每一個家庭,每個人的人生都像是Hollywood中的喜劇,
甚至對我而言”美國夢”是一切假象,
與接待家庭的相處,同學之間的互動就是”圓缺”的那一部分,
要自己用巧思將它補滿,要用耐心、智慧將它縫合,
感謝張主任告訴我”今天小事若不忍耐,往後很多對你而言更重要的事,你將怎麼辦?”
道路不可能一帆風順,
如今我上了耐心這堂課,
謝謝學校的好同學,以及難得的要好得室友,
讓我對圓缺這部分少了幾分憂慮。
在這哩,雖然不能學到許多知識性的內容,但學到很多一般人沒有過的經歷。

王大綱心得part2

Hi, Conifer high:
1. My name is Ta Kang Wang. I am a exchange student from Taiwan, my nickname is .com because it’s sounds like my name, my friends give it to me because they think it was really fun and if you called me that will also make me more comfortable. Actually I am very nervous and trembling now! Because I am not good at speech. So if I make any mistake, please don’t laugh at me.
2. And I am from Asia where is crossing Pacific Ocean from America.
3. My country Taiwan is a independent, democracy, and freedom country just as American. Though we are next to China. And both of Taiwan and China speaks Chinese. I want to emphasize that we are not belonged to China. We are definitely different two countries.
4. Taipei, which is the capital of Taiwan is where I come from. Is a crowded, busy, and lots of people, lots of tall building surroundings. So it’s totally different from here where it is a really naturally, broad mountain place. And I always very excited to see wild life here because what I can see in Taipei is only people, cars and building.
5. Our national flag have three colors, white, blue, and red. White means selfless, civil rights and equality. Blue means pure, nation and freedom. Red means sacrifice, indiscriminate love and people’s livelihood. Because our country is established after eleven revolution by our national father. That’s why we have lots of red on our flag which is means blood.
6. In Chinese, there are 37 alphabet and 4 tones for pronounce.
7. And a word’s pronounce is constituted with 2 or 3 alphabet with one tone.
8. In Chinese word, there are two or three word to make a term. Probably one term has many different meanings. Or different terms have same meaning. That is enough to confuse you guys. So, learn Chinese which is now the most people speaks in the world.
9. My parents are both teacher. Why I can be here is because of them. Without them, I’ll never be here. They made my dream come true to be here. Actually to go to America is my biggest dream when I was really young. So I am now much more grateful to my parents than I used to be. Because I have to deal with everything now. I never even say I love you to them. Things will always be treasure after you lose it. The love, concern will be felt after you live without them.
10.
11.Taipei 101 is the target construction of Taiwan. It is the highest building in the world after the Dubai Tower was built on 2010 January. It is 508 meters and has 101 floors on the ground, 5 floors underground. It is the most important national economics center in Taiwan.
13.In our free leisure time, I always go to Ximending where is the popular place for teenager to go shopping though I don’t really like shopping. But it is a really good place for watching a movie there.
14.Night market is also a important feature of Taiwan. It usually begin at 6p.m. till 1 or 2 at the midnight. It is constituted with many vendors which are selling everything. You can have dinner there, and there are also so many appetizers and drinks. And also have lots of fun game there. So you must go to night market if one day you go to Taiwan.
15.16.17.My school life in Taiwan is also completely different from here. I have to get up at six and school will start at seven till five. We have seventeen subjects which divide into major subject and minor subject. We have all of them in every week. We have eight periods every day. Fifty minutes for each period. We have the main subject like Chinese, English and math every day. Lunch time an hour. And we have no choice to stay school for individual study or go to cram school till nine. And after that, days haven’t been over yet because we still have to study after we get home until twelve or more in the midnight. On weekend, we still cannot take a rest, study all day like ten hours a day. Why we have to study so hard is because our class are so hard and we have quiz every day, big test every month. Some of subject like math, physical and chemistry is the hardest one. The test average of those subject are always like thirty or less. That’s why we have to study so hard that we can deal with it. That’s the normal school life in my high school. And we always be respect to get into a high-level university. That’s a really big pressure for every high school students. So that’s totally different here. I can sleep over nine hours every day and don’t have to study all the time!
18.My host family is very nice to me and I’m very enjoying in this foreign experience with them.
19.And I have already cooked some Taiwan’s famous for my host family like beef noodle, fried rice with shrimps, beef, pork or chicken. And I think they really like it.
20.I have already gone to camping with my host family.
21.and the first time riding a dirt bike.
22.the first time shooting a real guns
23.Homecoming is also an unforgettable experience for me.
24.Community service with my host mom is also really fun
25.The first time I curve the pumpkin.
26.My first Treat or Trick with my friends that really made a wonderful memory in my life, I wish I could have this fun holiday every year. But I’m afraid that my first time is also the last time in my life.
27.The soccer team is the most important thing I’ll never forget. It’s a wonderful season. They made me really comfortable to do things as a team like practice, games, team dinner, the final banquet. I’m really enjoying being a soccer team in Conifer.
28.And I have an idea about setting up a calligraphy club which is means Chinese hand writing after school. If anyone is interested about Chinese hand writing, I’m so welcome you to join this club. It will start at the week after next week. And I will also set up a Chinese club which teach you to write and speak in Chinese. And the culture about Chinese. That will be start at November thirty on Tuesday. Both of the club are once a week and will be one to two hours. And I really want to share things about my country. If you want I can play Chinese chess at any time. I’ll love to play with you.
29.The last thing I want to say is, I have already been here three months. But what I feel is that I’m so lonely that always do things on my own. I can’t stand being so quiet. Maybe some of you seldom hear I’m talking. That’s isn’t me. I used to be very talkative and open. I don’t know what make me become so shy like that, I feel no one except myself I can talk to. In my high school, I always is the spot light of the school is like everyone knows me, and I got really lots of friends. But here, I just like the stone be put on the hallway. And everyone pass me they won’t talk to me even they know who I am. Maybe my English is not really good, but I still try to join you guy’s group to figure out what are you talking about. Maybe I can’t totally understand what you are saying. But I still want to make friends with any of you. I love to share, and I love to talk to you. But the only thing I want to do now is just to make friends.

王大綱心得part1

不管怎麼樣,來到美國,我還是要先感謝我的爸媽,是他們完成我的夢想讓我來到這個自由的國度,如果不是他們默默的在我的背後付出,今天我不會在美國的!這一年花費並不少,對於家境不算富裕的我們家來說,負擔還真的挺重的,想想爸媽在台灣要如何的省吃儉用,我在美國當然不能單單只是吃喝玩樂,這一年,是要好好裝備自己,不單單只是英文能力,還有與人相處,待人處事,應變能力都是很重要的一部份,要讓自己變得更成熟,要讓爸媽能因為有我這個兒子而驕傲,爸爸,媽媽,謝謝你們!在我來到美國知道,我才真正懂得甚麼叫感恩,很多事總會在失去了之後才會感到珍惜,體悟到愛與關懷直到他們現在都不在你身邊
來到美國已經三個多月了,一切雖然沒有想像中的那麼順心如意,但是也逐漸漸入佳境,這一切都要歸功於我的PRESENTATION,在這之前學校生活真的是只能說用”孤單”兩個字來形容,剛開學時,因為你是交換生,大家開始都會對你很有興趣,很多人會跑來跟你搭訕聊天,但是並不會想要對你做深入了解,但是至少還會有人跟妳說話,當一天又一天過去,當新鮮感不再,他們也不會在怎麼理你,即使他們認識你,在走廊上,他們從你旁邊走過去,就只是走過去,也不會跟你打招呼,就當作沒看到,上課時,總是很安靜的自己做自己的事,分組時常常也是沒人找你,午餐時間,總是自己一個人躲到圖書館,讀書或睡覺,也許只是想要找點事來做讓自己不會被寂寥吞沒,這種被人忽略的感覺真的很不好受,每天都覺得很難過獨自一個人,卻還要裝做沒事的樣子,也許是因為在台灣時實在太受歡迎,一下是焦點中心,一下被冷落成這樣,反差實在太大,不過也許也是我自己的表現反差太大,以前的活潑外向風趣幽默愛搞笑,現在在這裡內向害羞安靜不敢說話,自己不夠主動,怎麼會希望別人主動來找你呢?,當體悟了這點之後,我變在presentation裡面向全校告訴我的心聲,告訴他們我的感覺,我感到很孤單,雖然有點無理頭但卻有點倒行逆施,反向而行卻很成功,很多人會願意來跟我說話聊天,也來參加我的書法社跟中文社,因為真的很有用,所以我也在我的每一堂課上報告,從此之後,雖然不能說是真的交了很多朋友,但幾個還是有,這才是我想要的,她們是因為不知道我覺得很孤單,所以我才需要一些小小的改變,現在常常路上就被攔下來聊天,每堂課也都固定找到很好的朋友,常常上課就一直聊天,這也代表我的作業都會有人幫助我了!午餐時間也都在餐廳認識不同的人,聊聊天下下象棋,也需是我自己該改變而不是一昧的希望他們改變,我相信在社團開始之後會更好!
而轟家的部分,剛開始來的時候,也許是陌生或不熟悉還是有點不適應沒有父母在身邊的感覺,常常就自己躲在房間裡讀書,寫作業,用電腦,其實還有一個原因是因為跟兩個轟弟還沒有說很好,而且我以為他們做自己的事都不會想找我,一個多月後,有一天轟媽跟我聊天時就聊到這件事,他希望我能不要一直躲在房間裡,多出來參與家庭活動,他說轟弟覺得我每天就是像客人一樣去上學回來在自己的房間周而復始,他們覺得他們沒有跟我一起在體驗交換學生的經驗,我跟轟媽說因為我不確定他們是不是真的想跟我玩,也許是年紀有點差距,但我想想我是該做點改變了,從此之後我就把電腦搬到客廳,跟轟弟一起寫作業,下圍棋,下象棋,看電影,去遛狗,玩跳跳床,玩WII,我跟轟弟的感情也漸漸的加熱,但是轟媽還是不希望我花太多時間再用電腦,但是我真的需要很多時間,拿來做作業,寫日記,打網誌,聊聊天,偶爾小玩一下,常常都做作業做到一半就被轟媽叫關機,終於有一天,我在做presentation的時候,他說你一經用三個小時了,我跟他說我還在做報告,他說我超過每天規定的兩個小時了,他這次真的很生氣不知道為什麼,也許是累積很久了吧?他雖然不是那種狂吼的罵我,但是從他的用詞我就知道他真的很生氣,從此之後我就奉行每天兩個小時之內,而因此跟轟媽的感情也越來越好,因為用電腦的時間銳減,所以就多出很多時間來,閱讀,參與家庭活動,轟媽現在也對我很滿意,而我也都可以早早九點上床睡覺
一切的一切,都不是因為他們做了甚麼改變,而是我自己嘗試不同方法,而也得到不錯的回應,否極泰來,這個詞用在我身上可說是十分貼切,世界上不可能事事都完美的,端看你用甚麼角度去看,一切都會更好的!
