The Third Day of Internship

August 5th is the first internship in Taipei Economic and Cultural Office.We spent all day long over there. Although I was very tired, I was very excited. We met lots of different officers and staffs. They took us to visit the office. They introduced  the systems, equipment, and some offices to us. We quite understood the functions of the office.

After touring, we met the students who study in different places in Houston. We sat together and had dinner together. They shared their experiences with us. We talked about how to prepare TOFEL and GRE. They also taught us how to get into university in the USA and how to make friends, to be independence. We also learned lots of useful things and knowledge from them. The students there are very intelligent and well educated. I appreciated very much.
