    Theme: Back to mainland
    New words: grieved难过, unwilling不情愿/不舍得
    Self-evaluation: After one month, we will be back to mainland. All of exchange students show their unwilling to leave. It isn’t because we have no love for our family, but because we have a great many of wonderful memory here. At the rest of our life, we will remember the beautiful time in Providence University and remember all the good things about Taiwanese students and teachers. There are so many places of interest we haven’t been to. In the future, we will travel to Taiwan again.

    Theme: English speech contest
    New words: competition system赛制, competition rules比赛规则, award奖品, level水平, express statement or opinions clearly清楚地表达观点, rise in rank晋级
    self-evaluation: There are huge difference of English speech contest between my previous school and Providence University. In my previous school, everyone whose mother language isn’t English can attend this competition but there is a limitation for students from English department. During the competition, there are many audience watching down stage. While only few students are allowed to enjoy the competition in Providence University. The biggest difference is in my previous school has not money as award but people rise in rank can get money as award in Providence University. What surprised me is that with abundant award, only a few students took part in English speech contest. I really recommend students to attend as more contest as they can in their college life.

    Self-evaluation: Today, I went to enjoy a concert with my friends. After hearing the beautiful music, I came to realize that parents in Taiwan also put many effort into the hobby of children. In mainland, many parents send their children to learn music and all kinds of instrument, hoping their children can be master in music field. I am not learning any instrument so I admire those children who can play well in music. I wish I can attend many concert to improve my knowledge accomplishment on music before I get back to Shenzhen.

      "many effort" ? many efforts? A lot of effort?
      "many efforts" is simply wrong. It can only be used to describe repeated attempts to do something at several different times."Effort" is usually used as a non-count noun; it can be used as a count noun as well, but the two usages are not interchangeable.
