Preparation for Interview (2) How do you introduce your own university? My school is famous for its 5 years of college and its foreign language educations. Teachers are all very earnest in teaching and very patient with students. And students are hard-working , responsible and full of passions. We are expected to have 3 L in our future. Life, Language and Leadership. And I am sure that we can get those three abilities after we graduated. Although our school is not as large as other universities, but I think this is a good advantage! it’s easier to get along with classmates. And it’s also easier for all of us to gain the opportunities to use the equipment and resources. What are the differences between Taiwan and Germany? Taiwan is a small island and don’t have any neighboring country, In contrast, Germany is bigger and surrounded by Denmark, Austria, Switzerland and so on. And the weather in Germany is mostly colder than Taiwan. And the lifestyle is also totally different. They eat mostly bread and potatoes as the main food staple, while we eat rice and noodles. And our business hours are mostly longer than 10 hours, some even 24 hours like the convenience store, whereas their stores don’t even open on Sundays. And the religion is also different. There is a lot of beautiful churches there, but in Taiwan we can see temples any where. Which Taiwanese food will you recommend? First I would recommend Bubble Tea. I think it is very unique and I want to know if there is any different between the McDonald’s Bubble Tea in Germany. And I would also recommend some traditional snacks, like Oyster omelet and doubled layer roll sausage. I think that they would like the doubled layer roll sausage because they also have different kinds of sausages too. What is Germany famous for? Germany is a country with rich culture and art. There are many celebrities in Germany, like Bach, Schumann and Beethoven are very famous musicians. And a lot of poets and writers are also very well-known, like Schiller, Goethe and Brothers Grimm. Nowadays, the automobile industry in Germany is very world-known. For example: Audi , BMW and BENZ. Definitely their food like beer and sausages are also quite popular. Every year , a very great festival “Oktoberfest” will be held in Munich. There are really worth visiting.

Ein Tag, den ich nie vergessen werde. Es passierte am Sonntag. Es war ein wunderschöne Sonntagabend. Ich hatte einige Dinge zu tun, deshalb ging ich in die Stadt. Ich fuhr mit dem MRT, damit ich nicht so anstrengend sein wurde. Am Anfang war alles gut. Wenn ich nach Hause gehen wurde, passierte es. Ich fand, dass ich kein Geld hatte! Ohne Geld konnte ich weder mit dem MRT noch mit dem Bus fahren. Ich habe sofort mein Freundin angerufen. Sie kam gleich und brachte mich nach Hause. Aber sie war sehr böse, weil sie damals schon schlief. Danach hatten wir sogar einen großen Streit! Ich habe gelernt, dass man immer Geld dabei muss. Dieser Tag hat mein Leben richtig beeinflusst. Ich werde nie meine Freundin während der Nacht anrufen und immer Geld dabei haben.

Notebook entry Hello. I am Ruru. I come from Taiwan. I am here because I want to improve my German and my English. I just graduated from college. It is a five-year college. So I have to go to another two-year college to finish my studies. Now I am prepare for an entrance exam. I hope that I can pass it. I usually watch TV in my free time. I like Japanese Drama and Cartoon. So I learned some Japanese, too. Detective dramas and novels are my favorites. Reading detective novels are so exciting. I also like cooking show. I think it is really cool to become a cake decorator ! I also learned some Korean and Spanish.But I can only say very simple words. And actually that makes me some problems. I wish that I wouldn't have learned so many languages. Because I am not that smart I always get confused with them. I majored in German in my college, so I didn't have a lot of English courses. I think my English is now worse than my German. I wish I can find out some solutions to deal with all my languages abilities.
