OIP Assignment 1
♥ 1:23 PM
Learning Plan1. It’s my first time going to china and it’s also my first time going overseas as a school. My purpose of going to china is partly because I want to clear my two modules, and on the other side also have fun and interact with china students. I want to experience going overseas to study as a foreigner, find out the standard of living, a little of their history and culture in china from this trip. I want to learn it so that I could broaden my knowledge and I could remember forever as it’s my self-experience.Basically, I never heard of Wuhan that I will be going. However, I did some research and find out that Wuhan is the capital of Hubei and also research about the university that I will be going in Wuhan. I will be going to Wuhan University of science and technology, I find out that it is one of the top universities in Wuhan and they excel in their science and technology. I’m taking electronics and computer engineering, I hope to learn something that I might not be able to learn in Singapore. My family is only thing that motivates me to study, they gave me trust and it is the most important thing to me. My dad pay for my air ticket for this trip, my mum and my grandmother gave me money for my living expense in china. It cost a huge sum of money for me to study for just six weeks in china. They also believe that I would be able to manage my money well. I will study hard and not disappoint them, and let the money that they came out with go to waste.It’s important that we understand other’s culture and adapt to different environment. When I learn this in the process of growing up, it will be easier for me to communicate with others from different countries if I were to go overseas again.
2. I’m interested about student life. I would want to find out about their life in university and living expenses. I like to eat too, so I would want to find out about the food in China. What are some of the food that could not be found in Singapore and how is the food in China.
3. Would it be safe living in Wuhan? From what I heard from my lecturers, we had to take good care of our valuables at all times. We have to beware of pickpocket, especially when we are in crowded places. What is the difference between student life in Singapore and in Wuhan? To find out what they usually do during their free time. What type of food can I find in China? To find out what their appetite is. How is the cleanliness in China? To compare their hygiene with Singapore’s hygiene. How are the people there? To find out their culture.
4. There are three global skills that I would want to acquire/improve. Firstly, I would want to improve on my communication skills. It is one of the important things when we interact with someone we might not know, as next time when we start working, we might need to communicate with a client to get a business done. Secondly, I want to improve on tolerance. Every one of us has anger, but it is not good that we throw our temper. In our life, sometimes it is important that we can tolerate those unhappiness or discomfort, so that we will not be ending up in a fight or quarreling. Lastly, improving in willingness to take initiative. When we see someone needed help, we can take our initiative to help out whatever we can, rather than standing there and do nothing. Every one should take initiative and not always wait for others to do.
5. I will interact with the people there, research through the internet and through observing to learn. When we do research through internet to find out on the things that we want to know, we could also ask understand better when through interaction and experience it when we observe it by our own.
THE SKYLINE'S LOVELY, THE CITY'S FALLING.
