我成长在一个中产家庭，家里的条件不允许我随心所欲的周游世界。我接触外界的唯一方式就是从小和世界各地的笔友通信，然后就是通过电视。从小到大我一直很喜欢我家当地电视台每周日晚播放的非常搞笑的英国喜剧。所以当有机会申请海外学习交流的时候，我选择的了英国，当然也是因为语言相通。

I‘m nurtured in a mid-level family, the conditions of which hardly entitle me to travel around the world freely. The only method of my exploring the outside is to communicate with my global penpals and to watch television. I have always been liking to watching the extraordinarily funny British comedy shown on the local TV every Sunday night since my childhood. For these reasons that surely contain the common language, I choose the UK when obtaining a chance to apply for overseas study exchange.

Teacher‘s:

I was raised in a middle-class family and couldn‘t afford to travel around the world the way I wished I could. My only exposure to the world outside was through letters I wrote to pen-pals from over a dozen countries as a kid, and from television. One thing I loved on television growing up was the hilarious British comedies that aired every Sunday night on my local public television station. So when I got the chance to apply for a study abroad program, I chose London. Plus, I spoke the language.
