    flight details and a booking fee of A$240.

我報的學校是Ability English，報名之後會有一個聽說讀寫的小測驗再決定將你分配到哪一班
我報晚上班 上課時間是晚上，比白天班便宜
校方規定要有中上級的程度 所以在參加小測驗時還頗緊張 怕無法拿到證書 那我就夢碎了
大概是二十題選擇題加兩百字英文寫作 然後班主任來跟我聊天 然後決定我的程度，班主任對我的評語是讀寫略差聽說較強 
總之最後我被分配到了中級 呼呼!!

這裡上課每周一會有考試 考上週的上課內容，得到四次次八十分以上就可以升級
我上了一週之後有發現這程度大約是國中 是很基礎的單字跟文法
沒意外的話 我可能是班上程度最好的 同學一直說我很聰明 英文很好
身為台灣人怎麼可以接受把錢丟到水溝裡這種事情呢果然上到第二週尾巴的時候，老師建議我第四週起可以到中上級

六週語言學校的體驗 我還是認為非常值得 
在打工度假之旅中有一點點不一樣 有一點喘息空間 回歸到當學生的單純
