我的英文名字叫做Catherine,然後我來這邊唸英文的原因是為了要去英國念研究所,所以才會找到這間補習班,當初是在網路上看到評價還不錯,因為這邊的老師會督促我們,開口講英文之外,這裡吸引我的就是:這裡的讀書室,因為我發現其實很多參考書自己買的話都蠻貴的,倒是這邊的補習班可以提供我們各式各樣的書。讓我們自己讀,其實幫助是非常大的,然後讀書室還有一個很吸引人的地方就是:他的電腦裡面有很多聽力的練習,包括練習口音,或者是練習書本裡面聽力都其實算非常有效,那師資的部分的話,我覺得在這邊的老師如果遇到我們的話,他會希望我們可以跟這位同學聊:你今天發生的十件事,請你跟大家分享,或者是請你跟這位同學分享,問他10個問題。我覺得一開始來說,是非常要訓練膽量的一件事情,但是久了之後會發現其實從這之中受益相當多。那我之前多益考大概是780分左右,後來我來這邊補習之後,我有發現說我過去的閱讀能力、閱讀速度很慢的問題,有很明顯的進步,也可以在時間之內,很快地把文章讀完,算是我在這邊發現,最大的進步的地方。這裡上課的方式呢,是上課一開始的時候,老師會先請我們跟一起上課的同學分享最近發生的一些事情,我覺得這也很大的幫助,可以訓練我們口說的能力,除了口說之外,我覺得幫助很大的就是寫作部分,寫作部分老師的教法是先教我們一些不同題型的,內容安排的寫法,接下來我們就可以照這個題型在白板上面寫。那老師馬上的糾正我們的錯誤,所以我們可以馬上知道:我們哪裡需要進步的。同時也可以看到其他同學有哪一些寫好的地方呢,也可以同時做參考,那我覺得這兩點除了口說之外,寫作也是進步非常大。
