今天想跟大家分享關於紐西蘭的遊學日記，在課堂上常會玩有趣的遊戲，老師不論怎麼樣都會鼓勵你做的很好。學校在每天也會有不同的活動，像我有和同學一起參加紐西蘭的球類運動、做越南春捲等等，也有和學校的旅行團一起去滑雪，感覺生活很多采多姿又沒有考試的壓力。
後來我離開時，同學有幫我們這群辦歡送會，甚至在學校認識的台灣同學到現在都還有連絡。感覺跟不同國家的同學上課很開心，也可以了解很多有別於台灣的不同的世界。

住寄宿家庭，不過離學校搭公車通勤要三十分鐘，每天都會經過奧克蘭大橋，看到漂亮的海和無數艘帆船。我住的房間非常奢華，很大又一個人睡雙人床，還有一張書桌。對於住宿有一些限制，不過大致上還不錯，我有三個室友，偶爾也會和他們一起出去走走。
奧克蘭就是一個大都市，雖然也有一些不錯的景點，也可以在路上看到各式各樣各個國家的人，但剛從基督城到奧克蘭這人多車多的大城市，還真不習慣，我花了好幾天才適應過來。這次是我第一次自己一個人出國，除了在紐西蘭待兩個月唸語言學校，結束後我還再到澳洲旅行。感覺這趟旅程最大的收穫是做了自己以前不敢做的事。在唸語言學校的期間，我周末都會自己安排各個景點去自助旅行，在旅行前不僅要做好功課，到了當地也要靠著地圖慢慢摸索，或是問旅遊服務中心。
真的非常推薦大家去紐西蘭念語言學校唷，一定會有很多收穫，一訂值回票價~~
