(二)課程學習

My favorite class is Communications Media in American Society. First of all, Dr. Vicky is a nice teacher absolutely! She always made us laugh, but also teaching hard. She asked a lot of questions during the class, surprised me, there were so many classmates raised their hands! The view is quite different with Taiwan. They would not feel disappointed while they answered wrong and teacher would not say something make you feel sad. Conversely, Dr. Vicky encourage you to rise your hand which I think is a good way to learning and face yourself. This course gave us some information about how these technologies have evolved through the time also told us that how the influence of the society. In the 20 century, we only know how to use the 3C products or enjoy the convenience that the technologies brought to us. Therefore, it is really cool to learning the history of these powerful inventions and technologies. The lesson of broadcasting is made me impression, I heard AM and FM since I were a child, I thought they just different broadcasting. But I got wrong! Both are ways of broadcasting radio signals, but the frequency and phase of AM remain the same. The amplitude and phase of FM remain the same. Which mean AM is more suitable for talk show and FM is good for listening music. Furthermore, we got a small quiz in each class which is a test that to see if you learning well in class. The quiz is more like no specific answer, you can express what you want which give us more spaces. Overall, I recommend the students who are interesting to knowing how is the difference between different period of social media. Dr.Vicky is really nice, she will help you everything you need. and you will learn a lot! (305字)

(三)生活環境

My school is in a small town, and Pittsburgh is the nearest big city. Indiana University of Pennsylvania not a big campus, compared to other American universities. There are many facilities, tennis courts, swimming pools, gymnasiums, gyms, basketball courts, etc.... which is a good way to explore what is your favorite sport! Basically, my everyday routing is go to class in the morning and afternoon, and go to do some exercise in the evening or go to the supermarket to buy some food that I need. We can take the bus whenever we want with our ID card. It looks like free to take the bus, but you paid with your tuition actually. There are two biggest supermarket in this town, one is Walmart, the other one is Audi. You can buy everything you want in Walmart basically, such us shampoo, pork and can. Audi is more specific on the food. Afterwards, I quite like the weather in America. The humidity is relatively low and will not be as hot as Taiwan. It really cold during the winter! Also snowing. Super different from Taiwan. You need a boots there and it must be waterproof boots, because the floor is very slippery after snowing. Also because the US climate is relatively dry, so you need a moisturizing lotion. We all need to buy the school meal plan, which you can choose how many meal you want per week. You just need to swipe your ID card before going to cafeteria. It pretty convenient that you do not need to think what is your lunch or dinner, but relatively more expensive with one meal as Taiwan.

(四)自我成長

【照片說明:my friends in IUP】

The most feared problem at the beginning was language, and writing was completely different from talking. When I first started class, I was very nervous and focused on class, and I was afraid that I could not understand the contents of the teacher's teaching. Some teachers speak very fast and I can only write the key points that you can understand. I will ask the teacher after class, the teachers are nice, they will answer questions patiently. One of the things that impressed me the most was a foreign student I met during my first class. The classmate is a girl, very friendly and greeted me to chat, and also asked me to have dinner together. I thought she would be my first foreign friend, but she didn't say goodbye to me at the time of class, and we didn't leave a contact. I was very sad after class and felt a little disappointed. However, it was discovered that Americans would rather speak the scenes and it would not be unexpected. I have two best American friends, we met in class. They helped me to answer the questions that I do not understand. After that, we often had lunch or dinner together. We discussed a lot of questions of each culture, I found that there are so many difference between Asian and American. Such us the food and life style. I agree that the American food is quite different with our food. Asians are used to eating noodles as staple foods. Americans instead, they like to eat bread. (258字)

(五)大三出國建議

The United States has a very wide territory, and transportation is not as convenient as Taiwan. There are buses everywhere, and few locals ride motorcycles. Mainly driving by yourself or taking a bus. They rent a car with an age limit of 21 years or older to rent, and a tax of under 25years old. It is recommended that if you have a Taiwan driver's license, you can change to an international driver's license before you leave. It is also recommended that you bring a visa credit card, just in case. When you arrive at IUP, the school will let you have a bank account, and then you will get a debit card. This card is very convenient, and now many American stores can swipe their cards, so you can avoid the doubts about losing money. Moreover, because there is no Asian supermarket in the town, I suggest you can bring some Taiwanese food that you like to eat, like canned food. It takes more than an hour to drive from school to Pittsburgh. If you take the bus, you need 50 US dollars. This year is valuable, you can experience the local life, some people fall in love with such a life style, and some people cherish the resources of Taiwan. The attitude is important, always be positive and have faith in yourself! I feel that going abroad is about knowing more people, expanding the circle of friends and listening to everyone’s opinions. Therefore, do not stay in the dormitory and attend more school activities. (255字)

(六)其他

The most impressive story is the journey of New York. New York Times Square has always been an attraction I really want to visit. Me and three Taiwanese went there together, the closer to the Times Square, the more excited we are. We saw a lot of puppets, they invited us to take pictures with great enthusiasm, and we will collect money with us after the filming. They don’t look like Americans, English is not good. We want to gave them roughly 10 dollars, but they want more money! I were so angry and said: you did not tell us we have to pay. then, i just turned and left. But my friends are not lucky as me, one of them paid almost 40 dollars. So i told a lot friends who want to go there must be careful, do not lose your money! (143字)
