England is a wonderful country worth your visit. She is rich in history and humanity, and you don’t have to do your reading purposefully because you have been naturally experiencing it. You can always obtain the access to knowledge; churches, buildings, towers, rivers, pubs, even the painting in the subway. Learning to your heart’s content here, you can be completely involved in the pursuit of historical, humane, and multicultural social knowledge. You will be swamped with what you are exposed to when living or traveling in England, which will incredibly broaden your horizons. What you experience here will fully stuff your backpack when you go home.
英格蘭是一個值得你拜訪的美麗國家。她有豐富的人文和歷史，你甚至不需要刻意去閱讀就可以體會它們。從教堂、建築物、塔樓、河流、酒吧、甚至地下道的畫作，你總是可以得到獲取這些知識的管道。在這裡恣意的學習，你會完全融入對人文歷史和多元文化的追求當中。你會忙碌於在英格蘭旅程中你所接觸到的一切，而這一切會不可思議的讓你大開眼界。當你回家時，你的行囊將會裝滿你的體驗。
The British people have mixed and diverse characters and personalities. They tend to have strong sense of pride or superiority; some British people lack flexibility and are kind of stubborn when working on their business. They might not be extraordinarily friendly to foreign visitors at the beginning. Instead, they are likely to demonstrate their hospitality and kindness after they become familiar with you. Once befriending them, you will be amazed by their enthusiastic greeting and thoughtful treatment. We have a couple of local British friends here in our class, all of whom are considerate and gentle, giving us a lot of advice and assistance whenever we need. Additionally, you may meet other international people learning and living here. Chances are you may get some international friends in variety of social occasions, getting along well with them will definitely do you good not only in your English but also for looking things from diverse perspectives. Having some socials with them in pubs will be a terrific idea, where you can also enjoy this unique atmosphere and culture of England.
英國人有相當多元複雜的性格和個性。他們可能有強烈的驕傲或優越感，而有些英國人的行事作風缺乏彈性，甚至會有點固執。對於外國訪客，他們不會特意友善；相反的，他們傾向於在和你熟悉之後才釋放出善意。一旦和他們結交為朋友之後，你會驚訝於他們熱忱的問候和細心的對待。我們班上有幾位英國同學，他們都很體貼而且彬彬有禮，在我們需要的時候總是不吝於給我們很多忠告和協助。此外，你有的是機會透過各種社交活動認識其他國際朋友。和他們相處除了增進你的英語能力，更能幫助你培養從不同觀點看事情的態度。和他們在酒吧做些社交活動是個不錯的想法，你順便可以在其中享受這種獨特的英格蘭文化風情。
England is also home to many terrific outfits or merchandise with outstanding qualities. The overcoats manufactured locally in England, for example, have marvelous water-proof fabric that can guarantee the comfort of the wearers. Besides, the shoes with Gore-Tex are designed to meet the needs to withstand the sudden and violent rain with wind, offered for patrons at fairly acceptable prices. Bone China tea-ware for traditional afternoon English tea is something really delicate you can’t ignore in your shopping list. Some brand-name products like Burberry or Harrods handbags and accessories will even be provided at unbelievably reduced prices if you pick the right time. Anyway, the trip to England won’t be complete without hunting for such real bargains.
英格蘭也有許多相當優秀品質的衣服或商品，例如在本地這裡生產的風衣。它有非常好的防水材質，可以保障穿著者的舒適。此外，有防水材質的鞋子，設計用來符合抵抗突如其然英格蘭風雨需求，以相當可以接受的價格提供給顧客。用來喝傳統英式下午茶的精緻骨瓷茶具也是採買清單當中不可或缺的一部分。如果你挑對時間，會以不可置信的超低價位撿到像是Burberry或哈洛斯百貨的名牌精品手提包或配件等等。英格蘭之行，沒有買到超值商品就不算完整。
However, all places have advantages and disadvantages, and England is no exception, especially for food, weather and high-rising retail prices. It is widely assumed that the food provided here, whether they are Chinese cuisine or not, is not satisfactory. The options for food are very limited, and the lack of flavor is internationally notorious, referred to as the worst thing that new settlers or tourists have to endure. In addition, some people complain about rainy and cloudy weather here, particularly in winter when there is always sudden rainstorm that will take you off guard. Walking in the chilly mud is something that you don’t hope to experience. When it comes to the rising prices for daily necessities, you have to face the music that everything sold here is hiked up as the worldwide tendency does. The pressure of adjusting yourself to the new environment could be overwhelming.
然而，所有地方都有優點和缺點，英格蘭也不例外，尤其事食物、天氣、和本來就很高，卻又一直再漲高的物價。無論是不是中式料理，大家普遍認為這裡的食物料理得並不好吃(又貴)。食物的選擇很少，缺乏味道的惡名更是國際知名，被認為是觀光客或新移民必須忍受最糟糕的事情。此外，有些人會抱怨陰沉沉的天氣。尤其是冬天；突如其然而來的暴風雨會讓你無從防備。走在濕冷的泥濘中是你絕對不會想要有的體驗。提到一直上漲的物價，你必須面對現實在這裡賣的東西一直在上漲，就和全世界趨勢一樣。適應嶄新生活的壓力有可能如排山倒海而來。
Nonetheless, we should look on the bright side and make the most out of the ordeals mentioned above. Being optimistic and developing our potential are the two essential attitudes that can see us through. For instance, we can manufacture food on our own; now we can make the skins for water dumplings and the buns by ourselves, which we have never thought of before. The chill of the weather enables you to experience diverse patterns of weather and the actual four seasons. Snow in winter is now a part of your life rather than your dream if you lived or traveled in the mid-England or northern further. Change our attitudes, and we turned pressure into pleasure.
儘管如此，我們應該積極面對並善加利用這裡遭逢的逆境。樂觀和開發潛能是兩個可以幫我們度過難關的重要態度。例如，我們可以自己製造吃的。現在我們已經會自己做餃子皮和包子了，這是我們從來沒有想過的。寒冷的天氣讓我們能夠體驗真實四季的天氣型態。如果你到過冬天的中部或更北的英格蘭(還沒到蘇格蘭唷)，雪就會是日常生活，而不是夢裡的一部份了。改變我們的心態，壓力也可以變成樂趣唷。
It is our belief that you can definitely learn something in the academic and extracurricular life in England. It is true that we had to get used to almost everything and felt inconvenient, but things have bettered a lot since we did our utmost to fit in with the living surroundings here. The living and learning here is no longer as beautiful as a fairy tale for international students like us; instead, it is a true story that takes pains and efforts. Anyway, learning and living in England is a blend of pleasure and pressure, and you can definitely enrich your experience of life here.
我們真的認為在英格蘭的學術生活和課外活動當中可以學到東西。誠然，我們幾乎要適應所有東西而且覺得很不方便，但自從我們盡全力適應這裡的環境之後，情況已經好多了。做為國際學生，在這裡的學習生活不再像是童話般美麗；相反的，它需要付出心血和努力。不管怎樣，在這裡的學習生活是一種適應生活壓力與樂趣，絕對可以豐富你的人生經歷。
You will see the painting over the tile when walking in the subway.
The painting includes crucial historical moments. This painting depicts when Admiral Nelson died in 1805.
The Picture depicts the strategy Nelson took in the Trafalgar Battle in 1805, Nelson died in the battle but led England to complete victory.

River Cam, the place you won't miss in the trip of England.
Very friendly,gentle and well-intended professor.
Coffee break during the classes.
The word "Pearl Harbour" means a lot to us now.
In fact, they are eager to be the tasters of our culture.
Latte helps us build the friendship with friends, classmates, neighbors; everyone!
It's good to have Chinese lunch out of our flat!
Wonderful England! Except for food.
It looks and sounds like British food. It's from Italy, however.
Fish & Chip is considered the most local food here. The flavour varys.
At least, we can depend on ourselves to make buns or dumplings by ourselves. Thanks to our master, Koala, we can make excellent water dumpling skins now.
