Opportunity of the studying abroad, purpose

I have several reasons for studying in Japan.
The first is to acquire language skills. I believe that the environment is the most important factor in learning a foreign language.
Studying abroad allows you to learn a living language that you cannot learn from books. I am very interested in the Japanese language and would like to learn it more deeply. I wanted to study abroad so that I can learn real-life Japanese, which is not possible in China.
The second reason is to learn about Japanese culture. I have been interested in Japanese culture since I was a child, so I would like to experience it firsthand. When I was in elementary school, I was most interested in anime, and later I became interested in Japanese culture such as tea ceremony and flower arrangement. If I have a chance, I would like to experience it myself.
Finally, I would like to learn about the good qualities of the Japanese people. I have the impression that Japanese people are serious and cautious. The word "good and easy" does not seem to be familiar to them. It is a habit I would like to acquire. I am always careless and sometimes forget things. Therefore, I think the most important thing to learn from studying abroad is the diligence and care of Japanese people.
I am very honored to have the opportunity to study and interact with Japanese people in Japan. It is also a valuable opportunity to study Japanese with students from different countries. I would like to study Japanese hard and improve my Japanese language skills. I hope to convey the enthusiasm of the Chinese people during the exchange. I would like to promote cultural exchange between China and Japan. I hope to have a good time with the students and teachers.

Experience while studying abroad

I have learned a lot in these past months that I have spent as an exchange student here in Japan. In the classroom we all have the opportunity to express our views and perspectives on things. Gradually, through the daily interaction between my teachers and classmates, I have learned to express my thoughts and ideas. Apart from studying, my classmates and I participated in tourist events organized by the school. We were able to interact together, study together, and make many precious memories. I will never forget them.
In the remaining weeks of my stay, I would like to continue to stay close with my friends and teachers. I will also actively participate in meaningful events at school. In the new year, I would like to improve my Japanese level in terms of study, and in terms of life, I would like to have a fulfilling life. I would like to experience a lot of Japanese culture outside of class. I would like to learn about and experience Japan's unique culture from many different perspectives.
I will do my best so that this wonderful study abroad experience will stay with me forever and encourage me to keep growing.

Results of study abroad, future goals

The year flew by and before I knew it, it was time to say goodbye to my classmates and teachers. It all still comes back to me when I recall how excited I was to see the beautiful campus when I first arrived in Japan.
During my studies in Japan, I became aware of the implications of Japanese culture and the thoughts of Japanese learners from different countries about Japanese culture, and I became more aware of what cultural exchange is all about. It is only when we understand the culture of the other country that we can truly build bridges of friendship and exchange and achieve heart-to-heart communication.
During the exchange process of the study abroad course, we shared and discussed news happening in the international community with students from all over the world .Discussions with other students helped to create a heart-to-heart exchange and generate more new ideas. It was the first glimpse not only of Japanese culture, but also of the societies of other countries through the medium of the Japanese language. The Japanese language has always been a bridge of connection and I am grateful to be able to share this connection with everyone here.
From now on, I will be embarking on a new journey. I want to go on this journey called life with confidence and with joy.
