My presentation

Hello? I am glad to meet professors in plu. I remembered when I first came to America. At that time my mind was filled with half of anxiety and half of expectation. But good friends and professors makes me get over that anxiety. Now the end of winter semester comes in front of my face. Since I came to America time passed 1 year. Many events happened and learned a lot of things in PLU. Get through the course of fase 1,2 , I learned from the foundation of English to skills of university study. And I learned how to write essay and method of citation. In personally I got changed compared with when I first came to PLU. In America participation occupies big part not only for grade also for life of PLU. And 1 year of PLU life makes me realized I need more participation to adjust here. I make an effort now and I am sure my participation will be gradually increasing. From the co-curricular activities l learned more about American culture. I went to food bank and shared foods to poor people. I felt worth from that volunteer. Halloween party is also very impressive. I had never experienced Halloween before. So kids who came from outside of campus were so cute and students who wearing ridiculous clothes made me so happy.
After I am being a fully matriculated student, I will be faced with many kinds of challenges. To get through these challenges first I have to be an active person. Especially I hope to major business. One of most important thing in the business is group work. Students will discuss with subject and sometimes controversy each other. To harmony with them I have to give my opinion and participate in discussion. Second still I have to improve my English skill. English is my second language. So I need to more practice of English to understand professor’s speaking and discuss well with American.
But many resources in PLU will help me to get through these challenges. First, writing center helps me to improve my writing skill. People who work in writing center fix grammar and organization in my report or essay. I can recognize what I am wrong and can notice what my week part is. Second academic assistance is kinds of tutor that specialized one subject or more. So I can ask them what I am anxious to know. Third asking to professor is good way to solve problems. I ask professor what I can’t understand during the class or questions that can’t understand perfectly. Finally making a study group helps all the students who participate. Because asking person can getting the method that don’t know before. Teaching person can reviewing what they already know.
For me Transition program is big assistance to prepare matriculation. I practiced TOEFL in fase I students. It improved my English skill one step higher than before. And also hearing regularity class before matriculation student helps me to adapt to PLU easier. Now I am hearing math 151 that studies about calculus. At first it was hard for me because I never learned calculus before. But according to time passed helping of professor and classmates I get a good grade than I expected. After I am being a fully matriculated student, I want to participate more in PLU’s event and club that I joined. And l likes to play sports. So I want to join sport’s club. That will be a good chance to friendly with American. And to improve my experiences I am planning to look around America during the vacation.
Finally I can sure I am ready to be a fully matriculated student. And I can sure experiences of PLU’s life will be one of big part in my whole life. Thank you for listen my presentation.
