Long time no see Nan Jung ! ! Miss everyone soooo much!!
I have already been in New Zealand two months.
There are many things different from Taiwan. ( eg . , culture, food, habits......)
At Katikati college there are many student , who come from different counties .The special thing is that if someone meet a student who comes from the same country ,  they won’t speak their language ,they still speak English.
This is the best way to train ourselves in English .
A few weeks ago, we had a festival at school-International Week (Culture Day)!!
That was a good festival for everyone.
During International week we can learn and see different cultures , languages and eat their different foods!!
Last week I went to the Auckland – Papakura. (Because we had a short holiday from 25th Sep. ~11th Oct. ) So I went to Auckland!
BUT!! Do you know….I went to the Auckland by myself  ! ! To me that was a kind of challenge .Because it is a long distance from Katikati to Auckland. I need to catch the bus by myself.
When I arrived in Auckland I stayed at my aunty and friend’s house for a few days! In these days, we went to the beach and we went to a small island- Rangitoto , to climb the mountain!! That was a beautiful place .I think if I have time. I’ll go there again!!
That’s very awesome!! I’m very happy I have learned a lot of things and made many friends during this holiday!
This week, I’ll be very busy, because school starts again. I’ll have a lot of homework and there are some of students from Thailand who have come here for three weeks.
One of Thailand’s students is Patt , and I’ll be her buddy. It’s first time that I do this thing.
Very nervous and excited!! It’s also a challenge for me!!
Anyway, I’ll try my best to learn everything.
I hope my English has made great progress, when I get back to Nan Jung!!
 
  好久不見,南榮!!超超超超想念大家的!
  我已經來紐西蘭兩個月了,這裡有很多事請都不同於台灣。(例如:文化,食物,習慣等等….)在Katikati college有很多來自不同國家的學生，特別的事，如果有些學生遇到來自相同國家的學生他們不會因此說他ㄇ的語言，還是說英文。因為這是訓練英文能力最好的方法。
 
  前幾個禮拜再我們學校有一個節日-國際週(文化日)，那是一個對大家都很好的節日。因為在國際週的期間我們可以看到學習到各國之間得文化跟語言,還有吃到他ㄇ當地的食物J。
 
  上週我去了奧克蘭-Papakura(因為我們有一個小假期從9月25日~10月11日),所以我可以去奧克蘭。
 
  但是!!你知道嗎??我是自己一個人去奧克蘭的，對我來說是一種挑戰，因為這是一個很長的距離從Katikati到奧克蘭,所以我需要自己搭巴士。
 
  當我到奧克蘭ㄉ那幾天我是住在我姑姑家(阿滿阿姨家)跟朋友家，再那幾天我們去了海邊跟去一個小島(Rangitoto)爬山，那是一個很漂亮的地方，我想如果有時間我還會再去一次。真是棒呆了!!我真的超高興在這個假期可以學到很多東西跟交到很多朋友！!
 
  這個禮拜我將會非常忙，因為學校開學了 ，我有很多作業要做 ，還有這裡將會有吸些泰國學生要來大約兩個禮拜，我將會是其中一個學生-Patt的夥伴。這是我第一次做這件事，非常緊張跟興奮。這對我來說也是另一種挑戰!!反正我會盡我最大的努力做每一件事。我希望當我回到南榮的時候我得英文已經有很大的進步了!!
