Chapter 268: Making Your First Friend
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the fourth day that Nguyen has come to St. Martin.
In addition to the busyness of the first day, Ruan Qingqing was not idle in the next two days.
First, I went to the International Student Office to report.
The office arranged for her a consultant who could assist her with visas, finances, and work.
In addition, the office has assigned her a mentor.
The tutor, who is also a student of St. Martin's, will provide her with language, study and life support to help her integrate into campus life as soon as possible.
After the report, Chen Wei took her on a day trip to London and saw several famous attractions, landmarks and buildings in the city.
Chen Wei also lent her a camera very considerately, and would help her take photos as a souvenir every time she went to a scenic spot.
The fourth day was the day when Nguyen started classes in earnest.
For international students like her, they have to attend a one-year International Foundation Year in St. Martin.
After completing the international class, you can choose to apply for St. Martin's or other schools to study for an undergraduate degree.
Her mentor is a girl from country Y named Lisa, who is a very avant-garde girl.
He has golden-brown shawl curly hair, pink-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, a cropped top, and ultra-short pants, and his face is painted with makeup that is too strong and strange for Ruan Qingqing.
Although Lisa has a hot appearance, she has a very easy-going and cheerful personality, and the first time she sees her, she praises her for her beauty and hugs her warmly.
It's like an old friend for years.
It has to be said that Lisa's friendliness greatly alleviated her crampedness and anxiety in the face of foreigners.
The two also became friends.
On the first day of class, Lisa not only personally led her to the classroom of the international class, but also introduced her in front of the whole class, and jokingly put down: "This is my girl, if I know that any of you have bullied her, I will come to talk to you personally." ”
The international class is full of international students from all over the world, with different skin colors and appearances.
Xu has not yet integrated and adapted to the current environment, and everyone's reaction to Lisa's "warning" is very flat, even at a loss.
Lisa probably didn't expect everyone's reaction to be so cold, shrugged her shoulders a little awkwardly, and left with Ruan muttering softly, "These people don't understand humor."
Ruan was inexplicably funny, and while feeling warm in her heart, her nervousness and crampedness were also reduced a lot.
There is still some time before class, and international students are entering the classrooms one after another, filling the seats that were originally uneven.
Today is a language class, Ruan gently took out the textbook and studied silently.
Compared with domestic university English, which focuses on reading and vocabulary, the English classes in international classes are more professional, involving a lot of unfamiliar terms in art and design, not to mention understanding, and even reading is difficult.
Reading is so difficult, and when the professional class is in class, the teacher directly uses these words to give a lecture, so isn't she equivalent to listening to heavenly books?
Thinking of the problems she was about to face, Ruan felt a lot of pressure.
Raising his head in a dull mood, his eyes subconsciously looked at the other international students around him, and suddenly, a familiar face came into view.
It was the girl who helped her lead the way a few days ago.
Seeing that the position next to the girl was empty, after hesitating for two seconds, Ruan gently packed her bag and got up and went to the girl's side.
"Hello, can I sit here?"
When the girl recognized her, a polite smile appeared on her face, "Hi, please take a seat." ”
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After sitting down, Ruan gently took the initiative to exchange names with the other party.
The girl's name is Takahara Mina, with a full-eared BOBO hairstyle, a round face, small facial features, and a pink dress, and she is a kawaii-looking R girl.
Soon it's time for class.
The teacher is an ordinary looking old man from Y country, but the way he lectures is very humorous and funny, and he especially likes to interact with students.
Ruan Qingqing was also pumped into an interaction, and due to nervousness, Ruan Qingqing mispronounced several pronunciations.
The old man did not criticize, but praised her for her pleasant voice, and said that he hoped that such a pleasant voice would be heard again in the next class.
It not only calmed Ruan's embarrassment and nervousness, but also euphemistically expressed his request.
- Practice more after class, and I'll spot check it in the next class.
There is one language lesson in the morning, but the class lasts 90 minutes with a 10-minute break.
After class, Ruan gently took the initiative to invite Mui Ne to lunch, but Mui Ne was very sorry to refuse her, saying that she wanted to go to work.
Although she couldn't accompany Ruan to lunch, Mina took her to the cafeteria before leaving for the restaurant where she worked.
It is a world-class university, and the canteen has a wide variety of dishes.
In addition to regular Western food, there are also Chinese, Thai, Japanese and Korean cuisines, but the taste is not complimentary, anyway, it gives Ruan a gentle feeling that it has a fight with Li Yulian's cooking skills.
After coming out of the cafeteria, Ruan, who felt that he had not eaten enough, went to the store again, intending to buy some snacks.
There was a rare lack of long queues in front of the store's international telephone, and Ruan stared at the telephone for a long time, but finally gave up.
Within a few days of coming here, she had already spent a lot of money, and she wanted to save a little.
Back in the dormitory, Ruan gently took out the textbooks for the language class, ready to review what she had learned today.
I was in a daze when the phone rang in the dormitory.
It was Lisa who called, concerned about Ruan Qingqing's study today.
After learning about Nguyen's difficulties in learning, Lisa suggested that she find a tutor.
The international class started in February, and Ruan Xiaoxiao was a transfer student, nearly two months behind the class time.
If you want to make up for the backward courses as soon as possible, finding a tutor is the best way. (End of chapter)
