During studying at LCC I did many kinds of work with several students from different countries like Britain, Thailand and Korea. The most impressive one for me is asked to corporate with a student to create an artwork for Transform Project. We were divided into pairs and worked together. After introducing to each other with my group member, I knew she is from Taiwan in China that has the same language as me but we still used English to communicate. First, I could’t explain my idea clearly because I was nervous to speck English. But she encouraged me and tried to communicated with me that provides me with confidence to go on. Sometimes I could’t get her idea, but she shared her opinions with actions and I successful understand. I really respected her imagination because it’s hard for me to finish this on my own. We finally completed the task and created a wonderful collage that I am very satisfied with it. After this group work, I learned how to combine my ideas with people and get inspirations from them. It’s fun to discuss many plans and realize them with others. As a result, I enjoyed this experience with her and I plan to be more actively participate in the discussion with others in the future.
One-to-one tutorials with different teachers is also an indispensable thing at LCC. In fact, I was quite nervous to communicate with teacher because my English listening skill is very poor. At first, I could’t get teacher’s opinions and discuss my project successful because of languages problems. Both of us were very confuse with each other. I was very disappointed in myself after tutoring. But I think I have to be stronger and make some changes. So I tried to make some notes before tutorial and when I can’t understand some points, I will ask teacher to repeat it again. In this way, I am happy that I improve myself during the tutorial and also got some useful ideas from teachers. I felt more confident in myself and not afraid talking with teacher at all.
