I had so much homework that I didn’t have much spare time! My friend from the other school had a part time job, but if he were to be in this university, he wouldn’t even think about it. That is how much work I had to do. It depends on the teacher but this is really appropriate for those who are really willing to ‘study’ only. So my English skills improved dramatically, especially my speaking skills. This school had so many events, I didn’t always attend the events but sometimes I did, and it was really fun too. My host for homestay was really kind to me too, and I shared the flat with other American students, which was also very good. Los Angelus’s fantastic weather also made me enjoy the city and education even more.
매일 숙제가 많아서, 놀을 틈이 없습니다! 다른 학교에 다니는 친구는 아르바이트를 하고 있었지만 이 학교에 있다면 그런 생각을 못할 정도 매일 숙제에 쫓기고 있습니다. 선생님에 따라 다르긴 하지만… 제대로 공부 하고 싶은 사람에게 추천합니다. 실제적으로 영어는 늘었습니다. 특히 말하기가 능숙했습니다. 그리고 매주 매일 같이 뭔가 이벤트가있었습니다. 가끔 참가했지만 매번 즐겁게 그 시간을 보냈습니다. 그리고 제는 홈스테이를 일주일에 3회 저녁 식사를 제공하는 걸로 했는데 호스트 는 매우 친절했습니다. 다른 미국인 학생들도 있어서 즐거웠습니다. 로스 앤젤레스의 따뜻한 날씨 가운데서 주말도 여유롭게 보내고 보람이 있는 어학연수였습니다.
