The first day of my arrival in UK
I left for UK on the evening, 27th Sep., which was the first time I went abroad alone. I spent 9 hours in Abu Dhab airport. where I met two Chinese student who are going to pursuit Master's degree as well. One in Sheffield and another in Leeds.
The first impression of UK was actually about that of Manchester. It was very cold but sunshine that day. My classmate from my high school came to fetch me and helped me buy the train tickets to Leeds.
Later, My classmate and I made my destination to the house, which I found in a Chinese forum.(not sure about the word) At the moment when we are calling to ask for my keys, my roommates came back from Sheffield where they went to see the alpacas. After my classmate left, I set up my luggages and the girls in our house gave me the duvet and a pillow to spend my first night in Leeds...
After 3 weeks in Leeds, I felt a little bit pressured because I didn't talk in English before I came here as much as the time when I was preparing for IELTS, even that was a talk to myself. It took time to think of the word that I wanted to express myself well enough. Honestly , I still find it difficult to present myself now and feel unconfident to talk with local students here. This particularly let me down when I first had the British dinner with David, Ms. Bailey and 6 others. I just could not talk properly and less confident than before... so sad....
