Shanghai Daily – Imogen
“WITH only a few weeks left at school, I’m already counting down the days until my time in China sadly comes to an end. Over the past nine and a half years, I have had the opportunity to really explore another culture, and of course, to learn the language in Shanghai…After finishing school and leaving Shanghai, I hope to be able to put my language skills to good use…Even if in the future I don’t use Chinese directly in my studies or future job, learning Chinese has provided me with several priceless skills. Most importantly, it’s provided me with the confidence needed to make mistakes and continue to improve and use a foreign language in everyday situations. Also, I have also learned to fully explore and be part of a different culture, enriching my life and allowing me to make the most of my time abroad. Finally, learning Chinese has enabled me to develop an open mind and interact with a wide range of people. These are skills which will be invaluable in my future.”(more)
