Welcome to Yang's blog!
I am from China, you can call me Yang. The city where I live in China is the capital of Henan Provence which locates in the central China--Zhengzhou.
I graduated from university years ago, my major is business and management. After I got my bachelor degree, I worked. And I had a comfortable life in my hometown. But I don't think that the easeful life should belong to the young people, such like me. Young people should create and experience, even adventure. I hope I could continue study to accumulate enough knowledge and life experience for the future. I plan to apply a master degree in the United States. The reason why I chose United States to study is that when I was in the university in China, ¾ courses were taught by foreign teachers, especially American teachers. I learned American culture, and American English accent. The bachelor diploma I got is from Fort Hays University in United States. In another word, it’s a cooperative program by Zhengzhou University and Fort Hays University. I am familiar with American culture rather than other countries, and I am interest in it.
I have no chance to use English in my work after graduate. Everything has forgotten day by day. So, my English is poor. I have to study English first so that I can pass the toefl exam which is necessary to apply a graduate school. toefl is really a difficult exam to get a high score. I should work on it. So, that’s why I am here.
I made a difficult decision to quit my easeful job and came to NYC. I've been in NYC for half a month and I live in Brooklyn. Now, I am studying English in ALI of NYU. The transportation is very convenience in NYC. It only takes two stops from my apartment to the Woolworth building where I study by subway.
NYC in my eyes is a very open city, it welcomes people from different countries, people with different skin colors, people speaking different languages, people have different thoughts......
I think that's why it's one of the most famous cities in the world.
By the way, I like playing billiards, and I am looking for a partner......

ReplyDeleteYang, I understand it was a tough decision to quit your job. I’m sure you can get a high score on TOEFL because you are highly motivated. As you wrote, New York is a multi cultural city, and we can learn not only English but also various things. Things will get brighter.
ReplyDeleteHi Yang,
ReplyDeleteYou must be very brave to leave the comfort of a stable job and a familiar place to come to New York City! That's a great quality. Also, I think we might live in the same area. I live in Brooklyn too, and to get to Woolworth, I take the F at Bergen St and transfer to the A/C at Jay St. Maybe we'll see each other on the subway!

ReplyDeleteHi Yang,
ReplyDeleteGlad to know you and appreciate your courage! Meanwhile, I find the passion from you that it had almost disappeared on me. TOEFL is a big challenge; I only tried one time in twenty years before and then gave up. Sincerely hope you have an ideal score! If you think anything I can help, pls do feel free to contact me.
