【留學】爸！媽！我上ICRT囉！－韓版流星花園

左盼、右盼。終於盼到自己登上ICRT網站囉！

既然連我自己都等了那麼久，當然是再忙也要抽空貼出來跟大家分享！只是覺得很不好意思，說好要通知大家，好讓大家一起即時收聽，但因為對方承諾播放前會通知我。等了好久一直沒回應。我也不好意思三番兩次的追問。[畢竟只是一個小訪談，又不是什麼大明星...]最後還是透過朋友相告才得知我的真面目早就被ICRT曝光啦！

以下就是在ICRT每週日『UK Beat!』單元的網頁：
[點圖就可以進去囉！]

縮圖中被切掉一半的區塊就是我的專屬區塊啦！要看到完整的文章，還是要到與ICRT協辦的GetSet網站中才看得到喔！

[點圖就可以囉！]

不過真傷腦筋。當初不知道是他們沒溝通好？還是我誤會了？因為我收到任務的時候首先寫的是英文稿。之後才被告知要翻成中文。結果點入才發現，我絞盡腦汁寫出來這麼精彩的英文稿竟然連放都沒放。我只好在自家blog張貼出來自我滿足一下。

中文版就點入上面的縮圖。這邊就不再重複張貼囉！

Hello! I’m Sandy. I am currently doing an MA in English Renaissance and 18th Century Literature in the University of Liverpool. I received my BA in Tunghai University, Taichung, Taiwan. Before that, I attended an international school and was there from third grade till the end of high school. I worked as an English teacher for five years before finally making it here to the UK.

I chose to come to the University of Liverpool because I believe they offered precisely the programme that I was interested in. This is the first year that they are offering this programme, and we are doing a lot of innovative explorations in the two areas of literature that are replete with adventures and experiments themselves. Moreover, the city itself also contributed to my choosing of the university. I believe from what I have heard and read that it is a city that I would definitely fall in love with because of its culture and perfect size – not too big and not too small.

Before coming to the UK, I had anticipated being in the library or in my room most of the time reading and writing or busy doing some other course work. I didn’t think there would be enough time and energy for me to enjoy the city, the country, nor cultivate new friendships with the lovely people here. Once the course commenced, I realised that if you manage your time well, there is no reason why you should bury yourself in readings or other coursework all the time instead of stepping out into the world and enjoy your very limited time here in the UK.

Studying in the UK can be very different from what we are used to in Taiwan. The postgraduate programmes require a lot more independent work than undergraduate courses. The professors appreciate insights from students, so don’t be afraid to speak up when you feel the urge to do so. Also, don’t feel intimidated by all the Englishness around you. Be bold! Make new friends and embrace all the amazing potentials that will make your time in the UK unique to you.

If you like a bit of fun and excitement but at the same time appreciate a peaceful and quiet environment to live and work in, Liverpool is the perfect city for you. The University of Liverpool is highly reputed for its excellence and quality of teaching and research. Best of all, Liverpool is also UK’s second most cost-effective student city! My Liverpool experience has been amazing so far. And I am certain that it is only going to get better and better!

再來，最重要的當然是令我興奮好久的訪談啦！雖然只有短短的兩分鐘，不過實際花上的訪談時間其實還蠻長的ANSYS軟體哩！點縮圖後找左上方『University of Liverpool』欄中的I『Interview with Sandy who is currently studying at the University of Liverpool.』就可以聽到我的聲音囉！*羞*
