學校有一個開放公共空間,通常是中午吃飯、看電影和頒獎等活動舉辦時的同學聚集
我很喜歡這些公共空間,趁著短短十分鐘的下課時間,除了在教室內跟同班同學閒聊外,也可在走廊這些公共空間認識新朋友.
一樓是老師休息室與櫃檯詢問處,有任何問題或活動資訊都可從此得知,或純粹想練習英文聊天也可以~
二樓有固定時間開放的電腦教室可搜尋資料與影印,一樓也有一台電腦與電話可供學生緊急使用學校給予的日常資源很充足,其實不用太擔心

學校老師其實沒有統一的教學方式,取決於各個老師的教學習慣 ,有的老師會讓每個學生都有平均發問與作答的機會,學生勇於多講一點就多點練習機會.然後像我遇到老師會玩文法或單字遊戲,藉由比賽競爭,讓班上學生各個摩拳擦掌增添學習語言的樂趣。
