I was awarded a scholarship three times, which reflects my strong academic performance as a student. One aspect I really appreciate is the language structure of the program. our chinese courses are taught in Chinese, while major courses are delivered in English. At the same time, we also learn Chinese alongside our studies, which is very helpful and convenient for daily life. Overall, this combination makes the learning environment practical and supportive, and the experience here has been very good. In terms of improvement, I believe there should be more English-speaking teachers. Currently, we have one teacher from the United States who is an excellent instructor and teaches very effectively. Having more teachers like him would further improve the quality of education and greatly benefit students. Overall, my study experience has been positive, enriching, and valuable both academically and personally.
