I appreciated the opportunity to study abroad and it was my great honor to be an exchange student in Kyung Hee University. How time flies! I have finished one- semester studying in Korea and now come back China. I like Korea very much and I enjoyed every day in Korea. My impression of Korea is very neatness, fresh air, nice people, delicious food, and great place to live. My impression of Kyung Hee University is very beautiful, modern and prestigious. In the past four months, I have spent a wonderful time together with my partners in Kyung Hee University.

As a private university, Kyung Hee has a comprehensive education system encompassing all grades from kindergarten to graduate school. Founded in 1949 as a two-year college, Kyung Hee established a four-year university at the Seoul Campus in 1952. The Global Campus at Suwon opened in 1979, followed by the Kwangnung Campus in 1984. As Kyung Hee moves toward its 60th anniversary in 2009, it ascertains prestige as a university of significance and infinite possibility despite its short history of only half a century. It has appointed the next fifty years as the second Renaissance for leading forward. As Kyung Hee reaches for its goal of expanding to the competitive university, it is concentrating its efforts on strengthening the core capacity in the fields of education, internationalization, research, and university management. Besides, Kyung Hee strives to bridge cultural and social gaps by promoting mutual understanding and prosperity. As a result, it encourages frequent exchanges with sister schools overseas to facilitate the exchange of ideas. These activities spread a shared belief in the value of learning.

I spent a wonderful study life in Kyung Hee University and chose many good courses, such as Korean language learning, Tourism management, Economics, English writing and take part in teakwondo class. My impression of professors are very kindly, handsome, humorous, learned and capable and they are not only erudite professors, but also can be best friends with students, experienced with the quality of the high level curriculums and taking advantage of these good conditions of learning. Thanks a lot for Kyung Hee University international education offering me Korean language courses. Although from Monday to Friday from 9 am to 1 pm of four lessons every week was too laborious, I made great progress on Korean language speaking, reading and writing with the help of teachers. Moreover, it was a very pleasant experience to study with different countries' classmates who were all exchange student coming from more than forty countries. Friendships were also one of the greatest pleasures that we can enjoy. On weekdays, our study schedule was very tight, but after school hours, teachers usually organized us to enjoy ourselves from a lot of extra curricular activities such as some short trip around Seoul, climbing mountains, traveling to the East Korean sea, watching the Kyung Hee University 60 anniversary peace concert (we also had the chance to see Korea star Alumni Rain, Tohoshinki, Kim Tae Woo), taking part in Korea Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations, watching the Cooking' performances with Korea national characteristics and so on.

Look back on August 26, 2009 to December 26, 2009, just only four months, however, it was my happiest and most cherished study life. This good experience let me broaden my horizons, increase knowledge and enrich the way of life and will greatly improve the interaction and professional learning. Four months, are worth each class and amateurs being reluctant to part with the recollection good time, the rich manor activity accompanied me to pass this unforgettable days.

In this report I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Kyung Hee University and to a lot of professors, teachers, and my dear classmates, dear friends in Korea. Thanks for all of your kindness and hospitality; thanks for all of your precious time and for your very kind offer. Best professor, best friends and best memories! Thank you for all your consideration and help in the past days and I enjoyed every time with you. Everything is deep in my heart! It is beyond the words to express my appreciation and gratitude but I have to write how much I gratitude with Kyung Hee and how much I delight with your courses. Especially, I also appreciate my academic advisor professor Choi. He is the kind of person I should thank most. Actually, I don't know how to express my thanks to him. I'm looking forward to see you again in Korea or in China. Again, I would like to express my warm thanks to you. Your kindly recognition and affirmation can help me to grow up. Youth grows rich with dreams; I will continue work hard everyday.
