出國遊學是大多數人都想完成的夢想，而我也不例外，所以當我知道考上學
海獎學金時真的很開心，在此還真的很感謝學校給我機會去國外開拓視野!!
7/2 晚上飛機起飛到香港，之後再由香港飛到倫敦，倫敦再到曼徹施特，從
台灣到英國要花上十幾個小時，加上轉機時間就更久，所以這一路真的很累，到
了曼徹施特，學生大使 Jade 就帶我們坐車到學校，去學校的路上有些人早就累
到睡著了，而我一路望著窗外的風景，拿起相機，拍下我在英國第一天的感動。
寄住家庭
到了學校，大家的 host family 早就在那 standby，我一眼就認出我的 host mom，
因為在出國前就加她 FaceBook，當然，她也認出我，所以她走向我給我一個大
大的擁抱，之後就開車載我回家。到家了!!! 真不敢相信眼前的房子就是我要住
的地方，我們家不大，但有個小花園，花園裡還很貼心地擺放桌椅，所以到時就
可以泡杯咖啡配個小蛋糕，然後悠閒的享受一整個下午，真的很有歐洲鄉村的感
覺!!! 外觀整體來說，
「乾淨舒服」是最好的形容，至於屋內呢，舉凡牆壁上的顏
色、窗簾等，幾乎所有東西都是紅色或是粉紅色，看了眼睛並不會不舒服，反而
營造出溫馨的感覺，雖然房子不大就小小的一間，但麻雀雖小五臟俱全。由於家
裡就只有我和 Host mom 兩個人，所以剛開始都會擔心會不會有溝通上的問題，
或者是太安靜而造成的尷尬，不過還好 host mom 人很好，跟我說話
都會放
慢速度以確保我聽得懂，讓我很快就適應了，甚至到後來還會一起談天說笑，所
以我真的很幸運來到這個家庭，雖然少了別人家庭的熱鬧，但多的卻是 host mom
給我的無限溫暖。
學校
第一天老師先帶我們去逛校園，跟我們介紹圖書館、體育館以及接下來 4
週都要在 Alexandra Building 上課的所在位置，也發給我們學生證和公車證，下午
就換學生大使 Jade 帶我們去鎮上逛，但我們可不是走馬看花，為了完成作業，
都會和店家有互動，讓我們更近一步的認識 Lancaster。
我們是由兩位 tutors 輪流上課，Krista 和 Helen，課程內容都很實用，像是和
host family 溝通的用語、英式英文、單字詞彙、探討英國文化、歷史等。Krista
是加拿大人，上課很活潑生動也很有趣，很喜歡上她的課，因為一點也不無聊；
Helen 是道地的英國人，有著一口很濃的英國腔，說話輕聲細語，講話也很慢，
上課很認真，她也會很有耐心的聽我們說，雖然兩位 tutors 的教學方式不同，一
個活潑生動，一個比較靜，但她們也有共同點，就是不管學生說得好還是壞，她
們都會用讚美的方式來鼓勵我們，讓我們有勇氣再開口說。
7/7 Moorside Primary School
這天我們去參觀當地的小學 Moorside Primary School，這所小學總共有 460
位學生，年齡是 4 歲到 11 歲，整所小學就只有 14 個班級，每個班級約 20 位學
生，就位在於坎布里亞大學附近。一大早，我們一行人就在校門口等老師接待，
看著小朋友們陸陸續續的來上學，每個都是笑容可掬加上天真無邪的臉龐，可見
上學對他們來說可是件快樂的事，他們真的超可愛的，有些小朋友推著的書包裡
面根本是空的，整個書包都快飛起來了，可是他們還是很堅持的要帶書包來上學，
真是可愛，還有的是連玩具車都帶來了，我只能說當小學生真好，無憂無慮。
後來我們進到裡面參觀他們上課的情形，一個班級分配兩個我們台灣生進去
參觀，上午我和 Christine 被分配到年紀比較小的班級，大約 4~5 歲，每個都很
不安分，活潑亂跳的，當我們進到教室時，教室瞬間變得寂靜，小朋友們睜大雙
眼好奇地看著我們這兩個外國人，我們也開始緊張起來了，自我介紹後接下來就
教他們用中文算數，剛開始他們都很害羞得不敢張開口念，念的很小聲，還好班
上有兩位會說中文的小朋友陪我們大聲數，整個教室也就熱鬧起來了，後來老師
上課，每位小朋友都很踴躍舉手發問以及表達意見，就算說錯了他們也不以為意
地照樣再次舉手發言，這點在台灣的學生身上還真的沒發生過，只能在心裡暗中
的佩服他們勇氣可佳。下午就換到高年級，教室整個氣氛就跟上午的班級差很大，
教室安靜，老師嚴肅，還有同學被排擠的現象，看在心裡還真點難過，不過唯一
不變的，他們還是很愛發言。
能來到小學來參觀是件很棒的事，當了一天的大小孩，雖然筋疲力盡，但
看到他們的笑容，這一切也都值得了。
7/8 Lancaster Castle
Lancaster Castle 建於 12 世紀中葉，是個歷史悠久的城堡，現在有一部份是用
做 C 級的監獄，所以沒有開放參觀，不過有另外相當大的地方是可以給民眾參觀
的，分別是 The Shire Hall、Hadrian’s Tower、The Old Cells、The Crown Court、The
Drop Room、The Grand Jury Room。Lancaster Castle 給我的印象就是陰森以及壯觀，
當天去參觀時還下小雨，所以顯得格外的恐怖，這座城堡就在市區，所以走著走
著就會看見他的蹤影，來到 Lancaster 一定要來這裡一探究近，認識 Lancaster 這
個小鎮的歷史，如果觀察仔細一點，還會發現裏頭其實還暗藏著不可告人的秘密
呢!
7/13 The Lake District
湖區是是出了名的漂亮，這裡的美景也是童書作家 Beatrix Potter 的靈感泉源，
彼得兔就此誕生了。來到這裡有如走到作者中所說的夢幻世界，搭船遊湖區不僅
是視覺享受也是聽覺的享受，如此的寧靜，岸上的房子就像童話故事中有錢人家
的別墅，很漂亮，湖區的美很難用言語來形容，唯有親自來到這，才能感受它的
魅力。
7/16 Williamson Park—Merlin
在 Williamson Park 欣賞戶外劇場真的很新奇，一般都是在有固定的地點和舞
台演出，這個戶外劇場與一般的劇場不同，它是要跟著故事的內容而換到下一個
場景，每一幕都在 Williamson Park 裡的不同地方演出，所以觀眾要跟著演員一同
移動到下個場景，這可是我頭一次看過有這樣的表演，每年的暑假都會有不同的
劇，而今年我們看的是 Merlin，很可惜的是，由於資金短缺，所以今年是他們最
後一次演出了，我們有欣賞到這麼特別的演出，實在是太幸運啦!
7/20 Manchester
Manchester 是個購物天堂，大街上都看得到大家提著大包小包的，除了逛街
外，還去了曼聯足球場，參觀球員的休息室以及球場…等，就算不是足球迷，也
會對球場的氣派所吸引。
7/26 Liverpool
來到 Liverpool 你會想到誰?沒錯!就是在 70 年代偷走許多少女心的披頭四，不
管男女老少，都愛披頭四，因此當了一天的披頭四迷，差點時空錯亂以為我在
70 年代。比起 Lancaster，Liverpool 多了現代藝術感，這裡除了披頭四博物館非
逛不可外，還有其他間博物館也很值得逛，不要想說裡面會很無聊，其實還蠻多
驚奇在裏頭的，不妨去看看。
迷路
說到迷路，我可是經驗豐富。想當初，第一天 host mom 開車帶我去繞從家
裡到學校的路，因為我走路上學的路車子不能開進去，所以 host mom 都用比的
給我看，回到家也很貼心的畫了地圖給我，隔天一早，我就帶著地圖尋路上學去，
聽 host mom 說我們家離學校走路只需 10~15 分鐘，但我卻走了半小時還沒到學
校，結果是該轉彎的地方沒轉彎，都怪這裡的房子每個都長得很像，連學校都很
像一般住宅區，後來也是一路上問人才回到家的，回家後 host mom 也很有耐心
的再畫張地圖給我，但不知是我腦殘還是怎樣，前後迷路了好多次，於是地圖越
來越多張，從我家到市區也只要 5 分鐘，有一次我還走了一小時，一直在重複的
地方繞阿繞，結果其實我家就在隔壁街，現在想起來還真好笑。
在異國迷路，在不同的地點問著不同的人，在不認識的地方沿路欣賞風景，
過程很有趣也很爆笑。
離別
轉眼間一個月就過了，與 host mom、tutors、Jade 道別是多麼困難的事，道
別的那天大家哭成一團，很捨不得離去，因為在 Lancaster 生活是如此的悠閒，
每天都很輕鬆快樂、天氣涼爽，雖然很想念台灣，但更捨不得這裡的一切。去英
國，你要選都市還是鄉村? 以前的我可能會選都市，但再次要我選擇，我會二話
不說的選鄉村小鎮 Lancaster，雖然沒有大都市的繁榮，Lancaster 的居民卻帶給
我無限的歡樂!
後記
後來我們並沒有在預期的時間回到台灣，因為英航搞烏龍，害我們有些人要
待在倫敦一晚，隔天再飛往芬蘭轉香港，再到台灣。
這趟英國行還真刺激，拜英航所賜，讓我有機會到芬蘭，雖然只去芬蘭機場，
沒有出機場到芬蘭市區看看，但至少我吸過芬蘭的空氣，也算是去過了，所以，
若你想尋求刺激然後回不了家，請坐 British Airways! 會讓你回憶無窮!
Business Administration
Sin Yun Dai 9921029A
Most of people’s dream is studying abroad and I’m one of them. I was so excited
when I knew I got the scholarship that I can study abroad for a month for free. So,I
was thankful that school gave me this opportunity to go abroad and broaden my
horizon.
The flight went off to Hong Kong on 2nd July night. We changed the flight from
Hong Kong to London and then to Manchester. It took us more than 12 hours from
Taiwan to England. It was such a long flight that we were beat. Student
ambassador ,Jade,took us to the University of Cumbria by school coach when we
arrived at Manchester airport . On the way to scool,some of us were so tired that
they felt asleep on the coach right away. As to me, I looked at the scenery outside the
window and took pictures for the touching moment of my first day in Lancaster.
Host Family
Our host families were right there already when we arrived at the campus . I
could recognize my host mom at once because I had added her as my friend on
FaceBook before I went abroad. She could recognize me for sure . So she went to me
and gave me a big hug. I was taken home by my host mom then. I’m home!! I could
barely believe that beautiful house in front of me was the place where I would live
for a month. How fantastic it would be! We had a small garden with chairs and tables.
Therefore, we could sit on the chairs and have delicious cakes with coffee for
enjoying a whole relaxing afternoon . The appearance of the house made me felt
comfortable and good. As to inside the house, many stuff , like wall ,curtains and so
on were red or pink . However, they did not make me feel uncomfortable . They
created a warm feeling instead. Anyway, the house was tiny but delicate with
completion. Because there just host mom stayed with me, no other, so that I was
afraid that I could not communicate with her . Fortunately , my host mom would
speak slowly when she told to me. She was so nice that I could get used to the life in
Lancaster soon .I was really lucky that I could stay with my host mom. Although I did
not have a big family , I had a lot of love from my host mom.
School
At the first day , our tutors took us to walk around the campus and told us
where the library , the gym and Alexandra Building were. And we also got our
Cumbria card and bus pass. In the afternoon , Jade took us to town and we had an
assignment. To finish our assignments, we needed to communicate with shopkeepers.
Therefore, we could know more about the orientation of Lancaster.
We had two tutors, Krista and Helen .They took turns teaching us. The lessons
were very practical, including how to communicate with host family, British English,
British culture , British history and more. Krista is a Canadian and lively. And Helen is
a British with strong British accent. Although their teaching styles were different,
they had something in common , like be patient to talk with us and always
encourage us. Anyway, I loved their teaching styles and tutors.
7/7 Moorside Primary School
We went to the local primary school — Moorside, which contained 460 pupils
who aged from 4 to 11 . This school was near the University of Cumbria. In the
morning, when we waited for teacher to take us ,I noticed that almost students had
big smile and got angel’s face. Obviously, they were happy to go to school. Be a
pupil is lovely. I started to admire them.
Later, we went to visit the class situation. We taught them how to count in
Chinese . In the beginning, they were so shy to speak out . But it was better when
two children who can speak Chinese followed us and spoke loudly then. They were
so lovely and lively. In the class ,they were so brave to raise their hands and express
their opinions when teacher asked them questions. In Taiwan , when teacher ask us
questions ,we always pretend we do not know or have no confidence of our
answers. Raising hands mean you convict the crime and everyone stare you into
silence. Anyway, the act of those children is really impressive!
7/8 Lancaster Castle
Lancaster Castle was built in the mid-12th century and was an historic Castle. A
part of the Castle is used for C-level prison. So it is not allowed to visit . But the
other parts, such as The Shire Hall, Hadrian’s Tower, The Old Cell, The Crown Court,
The Drop Room, The Grand Jury Room are allowed to come and visit. Lancaster
Castle impressed me most is freaky . If you go there with a raining day and you will
be frighten by its serious atmosphere.
7/13 The Lake District
The Lake District is a really pretty place where Beatrix Potter was inspired by its
beauty and then create Peter Rabbit and other characters .When I was there , I felt
very relaxed and refresh. No wonder Ms. Potter could make such a wonderful
masterpiece here. Boarding is a way to enjoy the lake and it also can make you have
a good mood.
7/16 Williamson Park—Merlin
This is a very special outside drama. This drama is totally different from general
drama. Because they don’t have steady stage and everywhere in the Williamson Park.
might be the stages. Every act performed in different places in the park. Therefore,
all of the audience ,actors, and staff have to move . It’s special ,isn’t it?
I am so lucky that I could see this drama—Merlin. Due to shortage of funds, so
this year is the last time they performed. What can I say? How lucky of me.
7/20 Manchester
Manchester is a shopping paradise. You will see lots of people take bags
everywhere in Manchester on the street. Apart from shopping, we also went to
Manchester United Stadium where you have to visit if you come to Manchester.
I am not a fan of football players and have no interest in football. But I loved the
stadium. It’s big and beautiful. I could even imagine the players were there and many
audience were cheering to their favorite team. It’s a good place to visit ,anyway.
7/26 Liverpool
Who will you think of when you are in Liverpool? You got it! It’s the Beatles who
stole many girls’ heart and were popular in the 70’s. We went to the Beatles museum
and I knew much more about the Beatles after visiting. Be a fan of the Beatles a day, I
thought I was back to the 70’s. There are many museums in Liverpool. So if you are
interested in nature , animals , Egypt culture and so on. And just go and find the
secret . You will be satisfied with this trip to Liverpool.
Got lost
Speaking of getting lost, I had many experience. So I want to share my stories
with you and please be smart ! don’t be silly as me! In Lancaster, the houses look
very much alike . Even the buildings of Cumbria look like a general houses. So that’s
why I got lost on the way to school at the first day. Because I couldn’t find it. Alright,
actually my host mom gave me a map she draw and told me how to get to school by
walk. My host mom told me it only took me less than 15 minutes to school but I took
about 30 minutes to school at the first day .One day I took 1 hour to go back home
from the bus station and it only took 5 minutes instead. Obviously, I had no sense of
direction. Although I ‘ve got lost more than 10 times ,I enjoyed every experience .
Farewell
Time’s fly, one month had gone by. It was so hard to say goodbye to my host mom,
my tutors , Jade. We did not want to go back to Taiwan. Because the life in Lancaster
was wonderful. Nothing got on my nerves and I had a good mood every day. But we
still had to go back to Taiwan. I will miss everything in Lancaster and always
remember my perfect host mom.
Postscript
We did not go back to Taiwan at the time what we had expected. Because British
Airways had some problem, so that some of us had to stay in London one night. The
next day , we took the flight to Finland and changed flight to Hong Kong when we
arrived in Finland ,then to Taiwan.
This trip to the UK was amazing and unforgettable . Thanks to British Airways , it
gave me a chance to look what Finland looks like . So ,if you want to experience that
you cannot go back to your hometown and then please take British Airways!
學海獎學金──出國心得
很感謝學校能給我們這樣出國學習的機會，讓我們體會不同國家的風俗民
情，也學習到許多不一樣的文化特色，讓我們在這個暑假能留下許多美好的回憶。
不過這個機會可說是得來不易阿。回想那時候，為了要得到免費出國的機
會，我們可是要經過重重的考驗。第一關的考試資格可說是得來不易，雖然學校
給了許多準則，讓我們可以多方參加考試，但是如果沒有事先準備就只能請你明
年再來了。到了考試那天，看到來了眾多的競爭者，其實心裡已經開始緊張了。
雖然考題不是很容易但很幸運的，放榜那天我的名字有出現在上面。在來需要忙
碌的就是行前的準備了。學校貼心的舉辦了兩場行前說明會，讓你再踏上旅程前
做好足夠的心理準備。
再來就來到搭機的那天了。老實說，心理上是十分的緊張。雖然這不是第一
次出國，但想到要踏上一個完全陌生的國家，心情就既緊張又興奮，外加上對其
他團員認識不多，只知道大家都是義守大學的學生，這更加速了不確定感。還好
大家在搭機前都有小小的互動，感覺的出來大家都算好相處的人。在道別完自己
的父母後，大家拖著自己的行李準備出關。上了飛機看著自己熟悉的場景慢慢的
離自己遠去，心中有種自己長大的感覺。第一站我們來到香港準備轉機，沒有遇
到什麼問題，小作停留就動身前往倫敦。飛機上，歐美旅客人數悄悄的增加了，
心裡也更加迫不及待想飛到英國。經過漫長的等待我們終於來到了倫敦，等待最
後一次轉機到曼徹斯特，無奈倫敦機場不像香港機場有免費的無線網路，大家只
能百般無聊的逛著不怎麼有趣的商店街，最後乾脆做著發呆休息。經過了四個小
時我們搭上了英國航空前往曼徹斯特。這段飛行時間約一小時，等大家領好行李
入了境就去跟學校派來的學生大使會面。大家坐上了巴士準備前往蘭卡斯特大學
與自己的寄宿家庭會面。經過這漫長的路途大家都累了，加上高速公路上又有點
塞車，大家很快的就進入了夢鄉。
過了約兩小時的車程，我們終於到達蘭卡斯特，映入眼簾的事讓大家為之驚
嘆的美景，大家彷彿來到了中世紀的歐洲小鎮，古色古香的房子，美麗的花園，
讓人忍不住拿起相機瘋狂的拍起了照。到了學校看到一堆的家長集合在門口，大
家便猜起來了。一下車就看到有家長一個一個問名字想找到自己的學生。好不容
易我找到了我的轟爸轟媽，是對六十出的退休夫妻，人看起來很合善，事實也證
明他們是對隨和且樂觀的夫妻。再出發前往英國前我就知道他們家離學校不遠，
但當他們把我們載回去時我還是嚇到了一跳，因為大概才花五分鐘。對他們家的
第一個映像是嘆為觀止阿。雖然沒有很大但看到那大片的窗戶和客廳的擺設就深
深的愛上這裡了。這天，他們的大兒子和媳婦剛好來拜訪他們所以大家就ㄧ起吃
了飯。雖然才剛到英國，但因為在車上已經補過眠所以精神還算不錯。飯後，轟
爸轟媽帶我和另外一位同學依起到附近走走順便認識環境。而對於這附近的美景
我只能說這裡是一個夢寐以求的仙境。一條人工運河，河面上有許多隻鴨子正在
河面上嬉戲，河的對面有一個山坡，上面養了幾隻馬、羊和牛，偶爾還有幾支野
兔跑出來覓食。不誇張，我覺得我根本就是在一個世外桃源，繞了繞附近我們就
回家整理行李，洗個澡然後就度了這天。
第一天上課是轟爸轟媽帶我們去的，他們走路速度飛快，我要兩步倂作ㄧ步
順便帶著小跑步才能跟上他們的腳步。到了學校，老師先帶我們認識了校園和以
後上課教室的位置，再來我們就到圖書館製作學生証，大概整個早上都在處理這
些行政程序。中午吃了午餐後，我們就跟著學生大使ㄧ起去認識城鎮。由於大家
對這裡不熟又走的比較慢，倒置完成老師交給我們的功課比預定的時間晚了一個
半小時，由於是第一天，所有的寄宿家庭都緊的要命，還以為我們走丟了呢。我
轟媽還說如果我在不回家他都準備要報警了。第二天上課老師也說她嚇到，所以
決定以後不辦這活動。在來的兩天我們都在上課和準備星期四去參觀當地小學。
我只能說外國的小朋友真的太漂亮了，大大的眼睛和白皙的皮膚，難怪當地的家
長都很害怕自己的小孩被壞人給抓走。我們除了體驗他們上課的情形我們也有教
他們講幾句中文，雖然它們一下子就忘了。星期五我們去參觀了那裡的古堡，雖
然只看了一小部分但還是可以感受到那可怕的氣氛。星期六學校請我們去看電
影，大家選了伴娘大作戰，劇情算是還可以就是一部喜劇愛情片。隔天我們還ㄧ
起坐火車到另一個城鎮去血拼，回家的時候轟爸轟媽還帶我去一個很漂亮的出海
口看風景。然後這禮拜就這樣結束
很快的就來到了第二週，頭兩天就如同往常上上課來有準備星期三要去的景
點的資訊。這禮拜三我們去湖區，參觀了比得兔作者的家，裡面的擺設很可愛，
充滿了書中曾經出現的主角。在去之前我們也看了幾本比得兔系列的書才發現其
實裏的的主角其實都蠻調皮的。參觀完作者的家我們換去做遊艇遊了其中一個
湖。可能是因為我們坐在遊艇上層，風有點大也有點冷，但這裡風光明媚的，讓
風吹再臉上其實也是一種享受。在湖邊有許多不怕人的天鵝，它們慵懶的坐在湖
畔，也有許多遊客拿出餅乾餵食它們。看起來有種讓人覺得生活步調變慢的感
覺。下午去了另一區，逛逛當地店家，和同學喝了杯下午茶，有時候會希望時間
能停止這樣就可以再這裡待久一點。星期五下午我們去參觀了一個劇場，劇場的
人很熱情，帶我們玩了一些小遊戲也對我們介紹了一下他們的劇團。隔天，我就
去看他們演的一齣戶外劇叫梅林。我覺得他們演的太好了，很可惜今年是最後一
年舉辦，以後的人就沒這個眼福了。
第三週我們去了英國的工業大城曼徹斯特，我們去參觀世界聞名的曼聯足球
隊的主場，雖然有人講解不過可惜他講太快也太小聲導致我從那裡回來還是一樣
只知道貝克漢和魯尼。看完球場再來就是自由行時間，看著老師發給我們的地圖
一個一個景點慢慢逛，走到最後叫就像採到檸檬一樣酸，我們還去看了一條同志
街，非常的有趣。星期五下午有位商學院的教授交了我們蘭卡斯特的歷史也帶我
們按照歷史的腳步走了一圈城鎮。由於是最後一個假日，許多同學去了愛丁堡，
然而我沒去所以轟爸轟媽就開車帶我去其他的鎮逛逛，他們還買了一種特別的肉
派給我吃，整個很感動。星期天去參加了風箏節，很有趣到處都充滿了風箏，也
有各種不同的造型，為我最後一個假日畫下了完美的句點。
時光飛逝，很快的就來到了最後一個禮拜，老實說心中充滿了不捨，雖然只
在這裡待了短短的四個禮拜但卻有滿滿美好的回憶。這禮拜還去利物浦參觀披頭
四博物館。星期四的報告大家都有做完。星期五大家在淚海中道別，道了機場寄
完行李卻發現航空公司出了錯，所以我們在倫敦還要在領一次行李導致我們錯過
了原本的飛機。大家被分成很多梯次回台灣，還有人得飛去芬蘭轉機，不過還好
大家最後都平安的回來，算是不幸中的大幸。
總結來說，如果能再有一次機會，我一定還會再參加。
鄭亦珊 9877023A
Very grateful to the school to give us the opportunity to study abroad, so we
understand the customs of different countries, but also to learn many different
cultural characteristics, so that we can leave this summer many fond
memories.
But this opportunity can be said that hard-earned A. Recall that time, in order
to get a free chance to go abroad, but we have to go through numerous
tests. The first shell can be related test data is not easy, although the school
has given many guidelines, so that we can multi-take the exam, but if not
prepared in advance can only ask you to come again next year. To the exam
day to see a large number of competitors, in fact, my heart has begun to
tense.Although the exam is not very easy but very lucky, results would be
released that day my name has appeared on it. Is in line to the needs of the
busy pre-prepared. The school held two intimate shows will be before the line,
let you on a journey well before adequate psychological preparation.
Again came the day the plane. Honestly, psychologically it is very
tight. Although this is not the first time abroad, but the thought of a complete
stranger to set foot on the country, I get nervous and excited, plus the other
members do not know much, just know that we are all ISU students, which
further accelerated the uncertaintysense. Fortunately we have a little in front of
an interactive ride, we all counted them feel good to get along. Say goodbye to
their parents at the end, everyone dragged their luggage ready to exit.On the
plane looked familiar scene slowly away from his heart, feeling kind of grow up
themselves. The first station we came to Hong Kong ready to turn, did not
encounter any problems, a short stay on the left for London. The plane,
European and American visitors quietly increased, and my heart more eager to
fly the United Kingdom. After a long wait we finally came to London, waiting for
the last transfer to Manchester, but unfortunately unlike the Hong Kong airport,
London airport, free wireless Internet, we can all sorts of silly Guangzhao not
very interesting shopping street, and finally he simply doing daze rest. After
four hours we got on a British Airways to Manchester. This flight takes about
an hour, so we lead into the environment is good luggage sent to talk to the
school to meet student ambassadors. We boarded the bus ready to go to
Lancaster University to meet with their host families. After this long journey we
are tired, but with a little traffic jam on the highway, we very quickly fell asleep.
After a two hours drive, we finally to Dhahran Custer, the eye thing so that we
marvel of beauty, as if we came to the medieval European town, antique
houses, beautiful gardens, people could not help but pick up the camera from
the photo shoot crazy. To the parents of the school to see a bunch of collection
at the door, everyone will guess up. Parents of the car to see a name like a
question to find their own students. I finally found my dad boom boom mother,
is a sixty retired couples, people look good together, they also proved that is
easy-going and optimistic about the couple. And then depart for the UK before
I knew their home far from the school, but when they set us back a hop when I
was scared, because it took about five minutes. The first of their family image
is amazing A. Although there is not much but to see that large windows and
living room furnishings deeply in love here. That day, their son and daughter
just to visit them so we dined on the Pharmacist. Although just to England, but
because sleep in the car has been so up pretty good spirit. After dinner, the
H-H Mom Dad took me and another classmate to play near the walk way by
understanding the environment. For the beauty of this neighborhood I can only
say that here is a dream of fairyland. A man-made canal, the river has many
ducks are playing the river, the river opposite a hillside above raised a few
horses, sheep and cattle, and occasionally there are a few pieces of hare ran
out to feed. No exaggeration, I think I did that in a paradise, we have around
the home near the finishing around the luggage, take a bath and then degree
of this day.
The first day of class H is H-dad's mom took us to their fast walking speed, I
want to make ㄧ step two-step mergers with a small run to keep up with the
way their footsteps. To the school, the teacher took us first to know the
campus and the location of the classroom after school, we come to the library
to produce student cards, probably in the morning to deal with these
administrative procedures. After eating lunch at noon, we followed the
students to understand the Ambassador Pharmacist town. As everyone here
familiar with and go more slowly, upside down to complete the teacher gave us
homework later than the scheduled time and a half hours, because it is the first
day, all the host families are tight to death, I thought we got lost it. H mom said
I did not come home if I was ready to call the police he had. The next day
school teacher, said she scared, so I decided not to do this after the event. In
the past two days, we are in class and ready to go visit a local elementary
school Thursday. I can only say that foreign children is really too beautiful, big
eyes and fair skin, no wonder that local parents are afraid their children taken
away to be bad. Apart from the case of their class experience, we have to
teach them to say a few words in Chinese, although they are suddenly
forgotten. Friday we visited the castle there, although only saw a small part but
still can feel the terrible atmosphere. Saturday school invited us to go to the
movies, we chose the bridesmaid big battle, the story is a comedy can be
romance. ㄧ ups next day we train to another town to go shopping, go home
when the boom boom Mom Dad also took me to a very nice sea view
landscape. Then the end of this week so
Quickly came to the second week, the first two days as usual to be prepared
on Wednesday to go to class attractions information.This Wednesday we went
to Lake District, visited the home of Peter Rabbit author, inside decoration is
very cute, full of the protagonist of the book have appeared. Before going we
read a few of the Peter Rabbit series of books found in the fact the protagonist
is actually around half naughty. After visiting the author's home we do the boat
tour for one of the lake. Probably because we sit top yacht, the wind a little big
but also a bit cold, but beautiful scenery here, and let the wind and then the
face is actually a pleasure. Many people are not afraid of the lake swan, sitting
on their lazy lake, there are many tourists feeding them out of biscuits.Looks
kind of people think the pace of life slows down feeling.Afternoon to another
area, stroll to local shops, and students to drink a cup of tea, sometimes hope
time will stop so that you can wait a little longer here again. Friday afternoon
we went to visit a theater, theater people are very warm, with some games we
play are also introduced to us about their theater. The next day, I went to see
them play in an outdoor drama called Merlin. I think they played great,
unfortunately this year is held in the last year, after the people of this treat, no.
The third week we went to the British industrial city of Manchester, we went to
visit the world famous Manchester United football team home, though some
people talk too fast to explain, but unfortunately he is also too quiet back there,
cause I only know that Beckham is still the same and Wayne Rooney . Time
again is the free exercise of course reading, watching a teacher sent us a map
of attractions slowly stroll, walk just taken to the last call, like lemon acid, we
also see a gay street, very interesting. Friday afternoon there was a business
school professor to pay us the history of Lancaster also took us to follow the
footsteps of history in a circle towns. Because it is the last holiday, many
students went to Edinburgh, but I did not go so boom boom Mom drove Dad to
take me to another town shopping, they bought meat in a special school for me,
the whole was very moved. Sunday went to a kite festival, everywhere is full of
fun kite, there are a variety of different shapes, for my last holiday to paint a
perfect ending.
Time flies, soon came to the last week, to be honest heart full of sadness,
though only in here for a short period of four weeks but there are full of good
memories. This week also went to Liverpool to visit the Beatles
museum. Thursday's report we have done. Say goodbye to everyone in the
Leihai in Friday, said the airport was found to send complete baggage airline
went wrong, so we receive a luggage in London but also lead us to miss the
original aircraft.We are divided into many echelon back to Taiwan, also have to
fly to Finland turnaround, though, that we finally have peace back,
unfortunately, be in great luck.
In conclusion, If you could have a chance, I will be taking part in some.
2011 學海遊學 英國坎布里亞大學團 中文心得報告
餐旅管理學系黃楷淳 9973025a
首先我要謝謝義守大學提供這個機會讓我參加學海遊學團，其實在要就讀義守大
學前已有耳聞這項獎學金，而我就把它當成一個目標努力去達成，當一被通知錄
取的時候，心情真是雀躍的難以形容。所謂讀萬卷書不如行萬里路，我就帶著冒
險的心情，前往我所選擇的大學－英國坎布里亞大學(University of Cumbria)。就
在 2011 年的 7 月 2 號正式出發前往充滿幻想的國度－England，我做夢也沒想到
會這麼快來到這個迷人的地方，我只能說我真的是個很幸運的人。
寄宿家庭
爸爸(Bez)是辛巴威人，27 歲，職業是醫生，主要是幫助人們戒菸的工作，去非
洲旅行過，喜歡唱歌和慢跑；媽媽(Janice)是英國人，25 歲，喜歡烹飪、旅遊、
看電影，曾在澳洲待過一陣子；以及兩個分別八歲(Scarlette)和兩歲(Amber)的金
髮小美女，Scarlette 喜歡芭比娃娃，最感到驕傲的是他有一頭和長髮公主一樣長
的頭髮，最擅長的就是跳舞，我超級喜歡她展現成果給我看的那種自信，Amber
雖然還是個小娃兒，但大致上還是可以跟他對話，眼睛水汪汪的很討人喜歡；寵
物有一隻愛黏人又愛撒嬌的黑色貓咪(Catface)和一隻小倉鼠(Sasha)。在這個小家
庭裡，爸爸比較像是媽媽的角色，煮飯、家事都是爸爸在做比較多。我也很開心
這一個月他們幾乎把我當成家人一樣看待，放學後都會關心我上課的情形，連出
去購物也要我分享我買的東西給他們看。假日也都會帶我出去玩，住家附近的海
邊有著我們一起吃著冰淇淋的身影。還一起上電影院看哈利波特最後一集，好開
心我也是這個家的一份子。在我來英國的第一天因為我原有的寄宿家庭去度假所
以借住 Rosemary 家一天，他是個可愛又親切的老奶奶，最拿手的是煮飯，雖然
我只在他家住短短的一天而已，但我每天都在祈禱有一天能夠回去找他，嚐嚐他
親手做的餐點和點心。雖然他年紀有點大，但是還是過著每天都很充實的生活，
每星期都會上教堂，和教友們感情都很好，要離開英國前一天，他也請教友來家
裡幫我們大家舉辦烤肉餞別會，真的非常的可愛又貼心。
飲食
英國的主食有別於亞洲的米飯，大部分都是馬鈴薯、義大利麵或起司千層麵，寄
宿家庭則負責準備早餐和晚餐，早餐不外乎就是麥片和果醬吐司及牛奶、果汁，
而晚餐爸爸則是超級貼心的為了讓我嚐試各種不同的英式食物，整整一個月沒有
重複的食物端上桌，手藝更是讚不絕口。而唯一讓我覺得有點吃不下去的是生菜
沙拉，這裡的蔬菜不像台灣快炒那樣，幾乎是冷盤，但畢竟要入境隨俗，所以還
是都會去嚐試看看。中餐則是在學生餐廳解決，雖然選擇不多但還是每天都期待
不一樣的主餐。放學後也會和同學們去 bar 喝喝酒聊聊天，英國人下班也都很喜
歡來到小酒館，站在窗邊看著窗外風景聊聊最近的事情，真的有種令人忘記煩惱
的感覺，只能說英國人真的很享受生活。
交通
大部分的人上學都是搭乘公車，而我家因為離學校只要五分鐘路程，所以只要走
路就可以到學校，而且學校幫我們買了月卡，所以只要在蘭卡斯特(Lancaster)區
域坐公車都不用再多收費用。如果離開了蘭卡斯特到別的城市旅遊就會搭乘火車，
這裡的火車不像台灣有很多小站，幾乎比較大的城市才有，所以對要旅遊的人來
說火車是很方便的交通工具。雖然很想嘗試看看地鐵生活但是由於我們離首都太
遙遠所以沒能坐到，有朝一日一定要再回來這裡。再來最特別的是去利物浦看到
的水陸兩用車，在路上開著開著後往水上開就浮起來變成一艘船，真的很特別。
最有代表的是去愛丁堡自助旅行看到的雙層巴士，可以說沒搭過雙層巴士就沒來
過英國呢。
商店
這裡的每一家店可以說是一場華麗的冒險，你不進去真的不會知道裡面有什麼祕
密。很多賣糖果的店都把它裝潢的很可愛很吸引人，口味更是無奇不有；鞋子衣
服的款式也都百百種，更不用說飾品了，真的都琳瑯滿目。還有一種最吸引我的
是假日才有的小市集，擺著各種飾品和衣服以及蔬菜水果，每每經過一個小攤販
都會佇立很久才捨得離開。而我最喜歡的商店是冰淇淋車，雖然每一台車賣的冰
淇淋吃起來都差不多但是他們每一家老闆都會把自己的車裝潢的很別很可愛，真
的很討人喜歡，就算沒有很想吃冰都會往前去一探究竟拍個照留念。
校園生活
蘭卡斯特有兩間大學，一間是蘭卡斯特大學另一間就是我們所就讀的坎布里亞大
學，校園還蠻大的，從教室走到老師辦公室應該也要花個十五分鐘，校園裡有很
多大草皮，對於英國來說陽光比較不多見，所以一有陽光出現就會出來野餐，並
躺在這大草皮吸收陽光的菁華。平常上課由兩個老師輪流教學，分別是 Helen 和
Krista。Helen 是傳統英國人，所以上起課來比較平淡，但也會教授很多知識給同
學；Krista 是加拿大人，所以上起課來格外風趣許多，聽到有趣的事他也會放聲
大笑毫不拘束，很喜歡她的教學讓人精神振奮。這裡教學的方法當然就比較採取
自願提供意見的方式，順便練練膽量。也慶幸學校離家近，不用每天匆匆忙忙趕
上學，雖然只有五分鐘路程，但是每天看到的人事物都不一樣，每天都用不同的
心情去面對，就感覺每天都很快樂很幸福。學校每個禮拜總會安排幾天去不同城
市遊玩，老師也都會很耐心的說明那裏的風景以及歷史，還會發地圖給我們，深
怕我們找不到路，真的很貼心。
旅遊
＊曼徹斯特
一早我們搭著學校的巴士出發前往曼徹斯特足球場，雖然足球在台灣不算全民運
動，但是看著螢幕牆上足球員機動的模樣，想必是場亢奮的比賽，由於解說員有
濃濃的英國腔以至於我聽不太懂他在說明什麼，就自己看看櫥窗的擺設，每一個
獎盃和勳章都是一個個驕傲與感動的來源，這都是靠球員的團結才有的好成績。
離開了足球場，接下來就是自由行動。因為想嘗試一個人的英國街頭，所以就拿
著地圖，特地和團員分開享受一個人的旅行，老師給的地圖都很詳細，雖然對於
我這個外國人來說有點吃力，但是我還是很滿意這趟小冒險。一路上經過大大小
小的店我都會進去瞧瞧裡面有什麼特別的東西，最滿意的是我逛到一間藝術廊，
裡面全都是手做的小商品，有項鍊、戒指還有一堆明信片真的超級心動！每個人
都在自己的小工作室做手工，但由於時間不多要逛的地方太多只好隨意看看就離
開。再來就是晃到一間大教堂，來英國好像也就是要感受一下宗教的氣息，馬賽
克的玻璃真的在台灣不常見，很特別也很新鮮，人們在裡面虔誠的禱告著，我就
慢慢的享受這氛圍，不敢輕易打擾他們。跟著人群的腳步到了鬧區，街上很多街
頭藝人，不管是站著不動或者唱歌表演才藝，都讓人目不轉睛，快門也按了好幾
遍，好喜歡他們這樣的勇氣，路人也都會拍手為表演者歡呼喝采，這就是他們的
熱情阿！快要到達集合時間時我找不到集合地點，雖然看著地圖還是分不清東南
西北，我一直很緊張的捏著地圖探望來探望去，這時就有好心的路人來問我是否
迷路了呢?我很緊張的比出集合地點，他說他剛好也要到附近辦事情所以建議我
跟著他一起走，真的是謝天謝地，走到集合地點的路上我們也聊了好多事情，這
是第一次跟陌生人聊這麼多雖然有點害怕但又很開心他們這麼熱心幫助我。
＊愛丁堡
這是一個迷人的城市，和大夥兒一起坐了兩個多小時的火車前往這富有歷史的地
方，剛開始天公不做美下了點小雨，但是這熱情的城市似乎知道我們的來臨，所
以到達時就用大太陽來迎接我們。一下火車站就知道這城市和蘭卡斯特的差別，
這裡建築物比蘭卡斯特高許多，有分舊城區和新城區。隸屬於蘇格蘭的愛丁堡，
就連英鎊也跟英格蘭有區別，真的很特別。街頭藝人表演的曲目不外乎是傳統的
民俗音樂和國歌，很多男人穿著蘇格蘭裙讓我耳目一新。來這裡必買的東西就是
喀什米爾圍巾，摸起來滑滑的很舒服感覺也很保暖，雖然一條價格不斐，但是一
生能來幾次呢？最吸引人的地方就是舊城區的城堡了，門票雖然普通但是一進去
真的是一天也逛不完的大，走到腳都痠了還是沒看完。說到蘇格蘭威士忌是絕對
不能錯過的，買了幾瓶迷你小酒瓶回家擺設。由於八月中旬有個愛丁堡藝術節所
以七月底就有一些氣氛在，很可惜的是我們沒有要待這麼久的時間，所以以後有
機會我一定要再回來這裡。
結語
2011 的盛夏我獻給了英國，多麼奇妙又夢幻的一趟旅程，一個月其實說長不長
說短不短，能夠遇到好的寄宿家庭、老師還有一大群在異地相依為命的好夥伴，
一起創造這麼美好的回憶，我真的覺得我很幸運也很富有。旅途上，最迷人的是
可以寄明信片分享給大家你在異地的味道，而在台灣的朋友家人也都隨時在關心
近況，這一趟旅程不但豐富了我的視野更加豐富了我的心靈，希望以後會有更多
的機會讓自己出去闖一闖。
University of Cumbria
Hospitality managementKai-Chun, Huang
First of all, I want to say thanks tothe I-Shou University, provides this
scholarship to me. Before I studied in the I-shouUniversity, I had already
known that there was ascholarship.It’s very hard to have chance to study
abroad for one month, and give me the chance to experience different life.
You can learn more by travelling thousand miles than by reading
thousand books.With adventurous mood, leaving for the University of
Cumbria in 2011 July 2.I have never dreamed about that I will stay in
England someday; I believe that I am a lucky girl.
Host family
Janice and Bez have two lovely girls, Scarlette and Amber. Pets: A
small cat (Catface) and dwarf hamster (Sasha).Bezworks as a health care
assistant at Lancaster Farms Youth Offending Institute and Janice is a
trainee social worker. Janice enjoys dancing, reading, cooking, jogging,
travelling and cinema / theater.Bez likes cinema, live music and running /
fitness.Scarlette likes dancing, singing, performing, writing and playing
with Bratz dolls.Bez is from Zimbabwe and has travelled in Africa.
Janice has travelled a lot in Central America and Australasia and once
lived in the Cook Islands.Scarlette is half Australian and has been there.
In this small family, Bez cooks and has a lot of housework. I am very
glad they think about I am one of their families. They care about my
situation in class, let me show them something about what I bought. We
go to beach and watch a Harry Potter movie on weekend. Before I
coming, I stay with Rosemary Dobson. Rosemary is retired with
grown-up children and grand-children.She is a warm, friendly lady who is
active in church and community matters. She enjoys having students to
stay and recently travelled to Hong Kong and met up with previous
students! She is a very popular hostess and a very good cook.
Food
Britain's staple food is different from Asian’s, they eat potatoes,
pasta orcheese lasagna mostly. Host family is responsible for preparing
breakfast and dinner for me. I always havecereal, toast, and milk for
breakfast. Bez is so considerate of me. He doesn’t want to let me eat the
same food in this month, he cooked a variety of food for me. The only
thing let me feel not so good is salad. But while in Rome, do as the
Romans do. SoI still try something new food and salad here. After school
I will go to the bar nearby the town with my classmates. We love watch
witch the most, just standing by the window and chatting with friends is
the most happiness thing in the world. I can feel that I forget some
troubles at that time. We enjoy it very much.
Traffic
Most of classmates take bus to school, but I just live near the school, so I
go to school on foot, it takes me as long as five minutes. We have a bus
pass for one month, so we don’t have to pay more charges in the same
area (Lancaster). If we leave Lancaster to other cities, we will take the
train in order to get there. Unlike Taiwan, where many train stations, you
can only take the train in big city. It’s a convenient public transportation
to somebody who wants to travel to the England. The most special traffic
I have ever seen in Liverpool is amphibious vehicle.People always think
of that double-decker bus is a symbol of England. So if you have not
taken the double-decker bus, never say that you have ever been to
England.
Shop
Every store is a magnificent adventure, you will never know about what
secret they have. A lot of candy stores ‘decorations are so attractive and
lovely. Flavorsare full of wonders. There are also a lot of clothes and
shoes style in every shops, not to mention decorations. There is also
an attraction issmall bazaar. I will stand for a while in front of every
vendor. Enjoy theirhandmade masterpiece. And myfavorite store is ice
cream cart. Although each cart sells the same ice cream, but the owner
will decorate his cart become charming.
School life
There are two universities in Lancaster, one of them is Lancaster
University, and the other is Cumbria University. We study at University
of Cumbria, it’s a quite bigcampus. We have to take about 15 minutes
from classroom to teacher’s office. There are two teachers take turn to
teach uscalled Helen and Krista. Helen is a traditional British, so her
teaching is a little boring, Krista is a Canadian, I like her teaching very
much, because her laughter is so charming. Here in the class, we have to
present our ideas or opinions by ourselves and this is also a good way to
build up our ability of presentation. Fortunately, I live nearby and I
don’t have to get up early or be in a hurry. Although, it only takes me five
minutes to walk to school, I can still find out lots of different things or
interesting people on the way. Every weekend, we will visit a city and
teachers will introduce the histories or landscapes patiently to us. Also,
they will hand us a city map in order to avoid getting lost. How sweet
they are!
Traveling
* Manchester
In the morning, we take school bus to Manchester football field.
Although, football is not that popular in Taiwan, when you watch those
photos which playersplaying on the field you still feel exciting. Because
of the accent of the tour guide, I understand quite few about what he says
but when I see those cups and medals I can still feel that they are really
proud of their own team. What comes next is my little adventure in the
street of Manchester. The map which our teacher gave to us is detailed.
The most impressive store is an art alley.
There are lots of handicrafts and beautiful postcards. And every artist has
its own room to create art works. And then, I walk into a big church.
There are many people pray there so I am afraid of making any noise.
The religion here is quite different from Taiwan so I can experience the
exotic atmosphere. In downtown, there are many buskers on the street.
and I really admire them. I cannot help but taking a lot of pictures. When
I decide to go back, I found that I was lost. But people in Manchester are
so kind that they help me to find the way back. It is really a good
experience to explore a city like that.
* Edinburgh
It is a charming city. We took about two hours to get there by train. When
we were about to take on the train, it rained. Fortunately, it stopped when
we arrived. It seems that Edinburgh welcomes us to visit. This city is
quite different from Lancaster. The buildings are taller here and there are
old town and new town. Many men wear Scottish kilts. And
buskersperformance traditional music and weird but funny tricks there. I
love them and their shows. A must-buy here is Kashmir scarf. It’s soft
and warm but a little bit expensive. Whisky is another must-buy. I bought
some mini size whisky to decorate my windows at home. They are really
cute. And in old town, there is an amazing castle. The ticket is cheap but
it’s too big for us to visit the whole castle. An art festival will be held in
August and you can feel some atmosphere now in July. What a pity that I
can’t participate in the festival. One day I will come back and pay a visit!
I spent my whole 2011 summer time in England. What a wonderful and
charming country.
A month is neither long nor short. I am lucky to live in such a kind host
family, and meet nice teachers, and good friends. I got lots of beautiful
memories. I feel rich in my soul. I sent lots of postcards to my friends to
share those nice things in Lancaster. This shot term trip really teaches me
lots of things that I won’t learn in class in Taiwan. It widens my mind and
enlarges my views. I hope that I can have another chance to explore the
world.
2011 學海遊學 英國坎布里亞大學團 中文心得報告
企管系 盧庭宇 9821802A
二 0 一一年七月二日的晚上八點三十五分，人生第一次出國的我，搭上了前
往英國的飛機,這種既期待又怕受傷害的心情，讓我十分的忐忑不安且又覺得無
比的新鮮；什麼都沒看過！什麼都想嘗試！經過一番折騰，終於到達了英國，真
的跟台灣是完全不一樣的世界；這時候我想大聲說一聲：「親愛的英國--妳好！
百聞不如一見！」
剛到的時候，有點害怕、有點不安且有點羞赧，幸好我的寄宿家庭離學校非
常的近，而我又不是路癡，所以拿著地圖的我，當下就成了個旅英小探險家。第
一天抵達英國，懷著忐忑不安的心找到了我在英國的「爸爸媽媽」
；他們是對充
滿笑容且個性溫和的夫妻，媽媽在帶著我回家的路上問我對英國的印象是什麼？
我回答她說就像是「哈利波特」般的新奇！她一路上大笑不止，且回到家裡也一
直問我會不會餓？想不想吃點什麼？不停的跟我說話，讓我有點招架不住，不過
這個熱鬧的家庭讓我備感溫暖；出國前我總是緊張兮兮的問英國人好不好相處？
到了英國真真切切體會到英國人真的很和善，總是面帶微笑，熱情的跟人打招呼
且熱心待人。事前聽說英國菜真的很好吃，到了英國才了解到英國菜沒有想像中
的那麼好，原來真正的美食天堂其實是「台灣」！不過在這短短的幾天內，英國
給我的印象還算是個「蠻好」的地方。
第一週，了解到蘭卡斯特她的美麗和過去，參觀了蘭卡斯特城堡，也走遍了
蘭卡斯特的市區，老師告訴我們這條從市區走到蘭卡斯特城堡的路，是從羅馬時
代就遺留下來的；不知道為什麼，這句話一直在我心中縈繞且感動許久，我想大
概是都夢想著人生中一定要去過「羅馬」見識一次吧！『我們現在所踩的石頭路
是古久以前所建造的，今天是踏著先人的遺跡從過去走到現在！』老師濃厚的英
國腔所講出來的這番話在我心中引起了很大的震撼，從來不知道原來英文也可以
講的如同中文這般的「淒美」與「動人」！
我們還去參訪了英國的小學，教學的方式和學生上課態度跟台灣完全不一
樣，學生不會只是呆坐在台下聽老師傳授知識；從小朋友的學習態度我看到了自
己的缺點，他們的勇於發問、善於表達，讓我知道了自己的不足，他們落落大方
的態度也讓自己瞭解到所欠缺的部分，真的讓我有所「領悟」；週末我們也去了
市中心的電影院看了一場沒有字幕的英語電影，重點是我可以不需翻譯就能了解
電影在說什麼，散場後讓我有種「莫名」的感觸！
第二週，少了羞赧和陌生，我跟蘭卡斯特好像更熟識了；走在街上慢慢的可
融入這邊的生活，轟爸常帶我去鄰近的運河步道，那裡的景色我只能說真的有種
「雅緻」的味道，他雖不是個大城市但卻魅力無窮；週末，到了湖區「彼得兔」
的故鄉，那兒是個蠻美的地方，坐在船上跟遊日月潭的感覺不太一樣，有種「登
蘭卡斯特而小日月潭」的錯覺驚奇！沿途還看到一家手工巧克力店，有許多用巧
克力做成的鞋子、足球等等飾品，整間糖果屋就像個藝術展覽館般，讓人瞠目結
舌。「彼得兔博物館」也是一個令人驚艷的好地方，館內陳設如詩如畫、如同童
話般的世界，讓人不覺中就陷入那卡通的世界裡。
周末還去了蘭卡斯特當地的威廉森公園看了齣舞台劇--「亞瑟王」，劇場是
運用大自然當場景佈置編排整齣故事，據說因此而場場爆滿；威廉森公園原是個
採石場，山頂蓋有一棟美侖美奐的別墅，據說是威廉森送給他妻子的生日禮物，
威廉森則在死後將整座公園捐獻給了當地政府做為公益之用；雖說當天氣候不佳
但絲毫不影響舞台劇的演出，而且觀眾要隨著戲劇段落的變換而移動場地，是個
十分難得的經驗，只可惜因為經費不足所以已是最後一年演出了，我們真的很幸
運能參與這最後一場的「文化饗宴」。
第三週和同學一起來到曼徹斯特，這個城市有那讓全世界足球迷為之瘋狂的
「曼徹斯特聯隊」，而且這個足球場真的大的很誇張！不過保養的卻是比我們自
家的草坪還要好，導覽員講解的很快讓人一下子無法消化，但它仍是一個美好且
壯觀的旅程；在郊區還有一個放大版的「義大世界」，稱之為購物天堂真的不為
過，商場內有好幾百個國際知名品牌店家在其中，我們小隊有個同學隨隨便便就
在這裡花了超過上萬塊哦！
曼徹斯特的「新舊合併」建築物，再一次的讓我感受到視覺刺激，和台灣不
一樣的是，英國對於保存文化非常的重視，當新的建築蓋在舊的房舍旁，並不會
覺得不協調或是突兀，反之有種見證歷史的感覺，這種衝突感對我來說有點新鮮
且又印象深刻。
週末則就奔到愛丁堡接受文化洗禮，那街頭藝人的表演令我眼花撩亂卻又
樂在其中，令人驚豔的教堂跟城堡卻只是城市的一小部分。雖然老是分不清楚這
個街道和那個轉角有什麼不同，但每一步路都讓我駐足許久，深怕眨眼瞬間錯過
了這城市的所有美麗。我獨自走在這個新舊融合的都市中，體驗一日背包客的旅
程，每走一步都是驚奇，每次回眸總有新發現，如果還有機會再來一次愛丁堡，
一定會有更新的感動！
最後一週則出發去利物浦，她與曼徹斯特是個完全不同景緻的都市，如果要
從兩個地方擇一定居的話，我會選擇利物浦，因為她多了那麼一些人文氣息，披
頭四博物館，跟以往所看到的館設不同，雖然也是陳列物品，但多了種活潑的感
覺，無須跟著導覽員，只要戴上耳機，隨著自己的步調慢慢的去欣賞每個展覽櫃，
便能進入和沉浸在披頭四的世界裡，約翰藍儂曾說了一句很棒的話：
『 in the end
the love you take is equal to the love you make.』！
在英國的生活很愜意，氣候涼爽且晚上有點冷意，讀起英文章節來都特別有
滋味；課堂上的互動是活潑的，老師也很有耐心的跟我們解釋所有我們不懂的，
同學們的分享以及助教的補充，都讓我對英國文化更加了解；有些較難意會的，
回到家裡問轟爸轟媽，他們也是盡其所能的說明更多所謂的「在地英國」；轟爸
還常常跟我分享他所知道的台灣與中國，真的是個很有趣的人；每天傍晚跟爸媽
還有孩子們一起吃晚餐聊天，起初都覺得他們用字腔調艱深難懂，但經過了幾天
的磨練，便能和家人們侃侃而談，有任何問題也都不再害怕「溝通」了！
晚餐後的「功課」是和家人一起在近郊散步，每天不同的路線，都會有新發
現，每條小徑、每條街道都巴不得能摸透走熟；白天去過的公園，經過的街道，
夜晚總是樣貌不同，我認為蘭卡斯特的運河畔就像是個「風景魔術師」，每一段
的景色都是變化萬千，每次都讓我有不一樣的體驗，「美」的讓人無法也抵擋；
在蘭卡斯特多待一天便多被這美麗城市所吸引，要怎麼說呢？「她」不大但是小
而美，她不是新城市但也並非超級古老，她並不特別繁榮但是生活機能性高，她
純樸但是不無聊，她簡單但總是令人驚喜！這樣多樣貌的「她」深深的吸引著我
會想去了解更多關於她的一切。
在英國的好多事情都很特別、很新奇，例如這裡的酒吧給人的感覺跟台灣不
太同，有種很溫暖的感覺，是個適合全家一起去的好地方；另外英國的公車是雙
層巴士，搭車得跑上第二層，雖然辛苦但那車外的街景變化卻讓人每天目不暇
給；當然還有像是交通號誌與相反的行車方向、英國腔調的日常用語會話以及轟
媽所做的「英式美食」等等！至今都已經漸漸地習慣了，甚至還有點想念呢？
時光飛逝，快樂的「遊學假期」即將接近尾聲，旅程的最後，在我們以為要
圓滿的踏上歸途時，「行李」卻在倫敦出了狀況，在候補不到機位的情況下，只
好在倫敦過境旅店多停留一晚，不過卻因禍得福吃到一頓免費的高檔早餐，以及
之後來到芬蘭的赫爾辛基機場轉機，我想是這趟旅程最大的驚喜與磨練吧！實在
沒想到我還會有一遭北歐過境之旅，真是一段令人難忘的「初次旅行」！如果還
有機會，我願意再去「英國」來趟深度旅遊。
我想再次的說一聲：「親愛的英國」！下次再見！

盧庭宇 9821802A
At 10:35 pm of July 4th, I took a plane to England. This was the first time for me to
go foreign country and it made me feel not only fresh but also disturbing. After a long
flight, I finally arrived in England. There is lots of different comparing to Taiwan. The
old saying goes: "seeing is believing". No matter the scene or the weather is totally
different.
In the first week, it was inevitable for me to feel a little unease. Fortunately, my home
was close to the school and I am not lack of sense of direction. I felt like an explorer
when I walked around with a map.
The first impression of my home stay parents for me was a couple full with smile and
warmth. When mom took me home in first day, she asked me about the impression of
England. I said "Just like Harry Potter". After back home, mom kept asking me "Are
you hungry?", "Want something to eat?" Lots of question made me a little nervous.
But surely this is a family full of joy. Before I came England, I always asked people
around me that if English people are good to be with or not. But when I was in
England, I realized that people here are truly friendly. They always keep smile on
their face, greet with others with warmth, and help others with enthusiasm. And
before I came here, I thought food in England was delicious, but I was wrong. Food
here is not as good as I thought. Actually the real food paradise is Taiwan. But I found
that England was truly a beautiful place soon.
I tried to see the beauty and the past of Lancaster. I went to Lancaster Castle, walked
through the urban of Lancaster. Teacher told me that the road from urban to castle was
built in Roman. This really touched me. I thought it might due to that I always want to
go to Rome one day and today I followed ancestor's steps to here. I didn't know that
speaking English can be as beautiful as speaking Chinese until I heard my home stay
mother's British accent English.
We also went to visit an elementary school, the way of teaching and student's attitude
are totally different from Taiwan's. Students wouldn't just sit and learn what teacher
taught. They had more eager on asking question than students in Taiwan. Watching
them, I knew that I have more things to improve. At weekend, we went to watch a
movie without subtitle. I felt so proud that I could finally understand the whole story
just by listening.
The second week, I got more familiar with Lancaster and less embarrassing. When I
walked on the street, I could get into living here. One day, my home stay father took
me to a trail nearby the canal. I couldn't help but think "What an extreme beautiful
scene!" It's not a big city, but it's full of fascination. Weekend, we went to Peter
Rabbit's hometown-Lake District, a very beautiful place. It felt so different when
getting on a boat. The difference between it and Sun Moon Lake is as far removed as
heaven from earth. I also saw a handmade chocolate shop. The shop was just like a
small art exhibition. And Peter Rabbit museum was like the world only exists in story.
What's more, we went to Williams Park to watch the theater-King Arthur. Williams
Park used to be a quarry. There was a beautiful house at the highest point of the quarry,
which is a gift from Williams to his wife. Williams donated the whole park to local
government after he passed away. Although today's weather was not so good, it didn't
affect the show. The show was still great. And it's a rare experience that audience had
to move as the chapter changing. Unfortunately, due to the lack of fund, 2011 is the
last year of performance. We are really lucky that we can watch the last show.
I went to Manchester with my classmates at the third week. This city had one of the
most famous soccer team- the Manchester United. The soccer field was enormous and
in well maintenance. Though the tour guide spoke very fast, it's still a great trip. There
was a huge shopping mall located at suburbs. There were hundreds of international
brands in there. One of my classmates spent more than 100 thousands easily.
In Manchester, the combination of modern and old building also amazed me. Not like
Taiwan, England took cultural preservation very serious. When a new building builds
beside an old one, it wouldn't look odd or strange. On the contrary, it made me feel
like the witness of history.
Then we went Edinburgh to see the different culture. The performance of street
performer really amazed me. The staggering churches and castles were just a part of
the city. Though I always couldn't figure out the difference between this corner and
that street, I still held my each step fearing missing any beauty of the city. I walked
alone in this city mixing modern and classic, experiencing one day Back Packer.
Every step was amaze, each turning back had new discovered. The only thing that I
regretted was my sunglasses being stolen. I would come to Edinburgh again if I get
the chance.
The last week, we went to Liverpool. It's totally different with Manchester. If I must
choose one to live in, I would like Liverpool, because it had more cultural diversity.
Visiting the Beatles Museum, it didn't like other museum I had been before. You don't
need a guide in it. Everyone has his headset; just follow your own step to see each
item in it. In the world of Beatles, John Lennon said: in the end the love you take is
equal to the love you make.
Life in England was very pleased. Weather was fine but it would be little cold in the
night. I had more patients to read English article. Teachers always had patients to
explain all we didn't understand. Sharing from my classmates and teachers' addition
made me understand England more. Some I didn't really understand, my home stay
parents always did their best to tell me in more easy understanding way. My home
stay father often shared what he known about Taiwan and China. He's really a
interesting person. I ate dinner with my home stay parents and their children every
evening. At first, I felt their conversations were hard for me to understand. Few days
later, it's kind easy for me to have an easy talk with them. After dinner, we went walk
around Lancaster. Each route had its own new discovery. I strongly wanted to get
familiar with whole city. Everything has a different looking in evening. I thought
Lancaster Canal was the most beautiful scene here. Each section had different scene,
and I had different feeling every time. When the weather was good, you could see the
sea on the other side. I got more attracted when longer I stayed at Lancaster. Lancaster
is neither big nor small. It's not a modern city but not an old one, either. It's simple but
not boring. The different face of her deeply attracted me to know more about her. I
also went to experience night life in England. It's special. Bar here was totally
different from Taiwan's. It's a good place for family. Many things are special in
England. You must go second floor when taking a bus. I got addicted to mother's food.
It's more delicious than shop's. And I got used to traffic signals and the direction. My
English speaking got more British accent and I talked in British phrase more often.
Time flies, it had been 4 weeks. In the last of the last, I thought I was going home in
Taiwan successfully, the flight tickets went wrong. I stayed at hotel in London due to
no seat for me to fly back to Taiwan. But I also got a profit from a misfortune: a
delicious breakfast cost 1000 NTD. I think the biggest amazement was flying to
Helsinki Airport in Finland for a transfer. I had never thought that I would go North
Europe. It was an unforgettable trip in my life. Dear England, though it has been a
month after I came back Taiwan, I still cannot forget about all of your beauty.
2011 學海遊學 英國坎布里亞大學團 中文心得報告
9871008A 陳品潔
在 2011 年的暑假，能夠藉由學校提供的機會，到英國的坎布里亞大學
學習一個月，並且與當地的家庭一起生活，不但讓我學習到了很多英國的
文化習俗、語言上的差異，在這趟旅途中，也認識了許多的新朋友、拜訪
許多知名的觀光勝地，在英國的一個月，讓我的暑假生活更添了幾分的色
彩，也讓我開拓了視野。
出發的第一天，在機場與家人道別後，就開始了此次的旅程了！歷經
飛行了十幾個小時，轉了兩次的班機，數不清到底總共吃了幾餐的飛機餐，
我們終於抵達了英國的曼徹斯特機場，出關後，坎布里亞大學的學生大使
已經老早在那等待著我們，準備接我們到坎布里亞大學去。大約經過了一
個小時多的車程，抵達了學校，還沒下車，就已經看到了當地的寄宿家庭
已經在校園裡迎接我們了，每一個人都是帶著大大的笑容，大力的像我們
招手，以示歡迎。在我們下車後，大家就彷彿像是在認親似的，一直尋找
著自己所接待的學生。而我的 home 媽在一見到我時，就給予我一個大大
的擁抱，讓我備感溫馨。之後，大家就隨著自己的寄宿家庭，各自回家。
我的寄宿家庭離學校很近，在加上 home 媽開車又很快，所以很快的，我
就抵達了那要住一個月的家。
卸完了行李，home 媽依序向我介紹家中所養的三隻小貓，即問我會不
會很累，要不要去洗個澡後在來吃晚餐。當天因為沒什麼食欲，所以沒吃
多少，當我問 home 媽該怎麼處理那些吃不下的食物該怎麼辦時，她竟然
叫我就放到陽台上的桌子就行了，說是有小鳥或是松鼠會去吃，那時，我
還真的是帶著疑惑的表情把那盤食物緩緩的放在桌上，隔天去看那盤食物
時，真的已經所剩無幾了，在那之後，我也親眼看見一隻松鼠就咬著食物，
跑到家旁邊的山坡上，慢慢的享用牠的美食。
吃完晚餐之後，因為很累，就跟 home 媽道晚安，準備去睡覺，但一
看時間，才晚上七點多，但窗外的天色依然很亮，使得我只能先玩電腦，
等到天色較暗再去睡覺。休息了一天，隔天就準備去上課，第一天去學校
的路程，是 home 媽開車帶我的，沿途就向我解釋到學校到如何走，該到
哪裡轉彎，待到了學校之後，她即給了我一個擁抱並祝我有個快樂的一天。
第一天上課，老師即要我們介紹自己並帶我們大概認識一下校園、圖書館、
辦理學生卡等。正式上課後，老師們就像我們介紹之後的課程，並教受簡
單的生活用語以利我們可以與寄宿家庭溝通。
結束了上午的課程，我們一群人浩浩蕩蕩的往吃午餐的地方出發，第
一次看到餐廳，覺得非常的新鮮，每樣食物都想嘗試看看，但可能因為時
間有點晚，那一天的熱時已經所剩無幾了，所以我就點了一個類似潛艇堡
的東西來吃，但當阿姨在幫我準備的時候，我就已經後悔了，因為她加了
一堆的起司條，多到令我還沒吃就感覺已經飽了！吃完了午餐，下午就由
學生大使帶我們到城裡作導覽，藉由類似闖關的活動，讓我們對那裡有個
初步的認識。
上了幾天課後，我們到當地的小學作服務，上午的時候，與另一位同
學搭擋，到較小的年級去，一上課，老師就讓我們教他們用國語念數字，
每位小朋友都瞪大眼睛，很好學的與我們一起數數。接下來，我們就幫助
他們作數學作業，但這卻令我感到困擾，因為要用英文數數還真的有點不
太流利，常常會一時口誤，小朋友們也會立刻糾正我們，然後在一旁偷笑！
接著，下午去到了年級較高的音樂班，我們在外看他們作練習，常看到有
人搶拍、偷放炮的情況，但還是覺得他們可愛！
每個禮拜，我們都固定一天會到其他城市作觀光的活動，這次學校就
安排了許多景點讓我們參觀，像是去彼得兔的故鄉－湖區、曼聯球場－曼
徹斯特、披頭四博物館－利物浦，每個地方都各有特色，小小的街道就能
成為了相機中美麗的一景，而城市中的雄偉建築，也是極俱特色，令人想
在那駐足許久，拍下許多令人留戀的照片。
在湖區，我們參觀了彼得兔的故事館，認識了波特小姐，也買了許多
有關於彼得兔的商品，之後，在要搭船去 Kisick 之前，大家在岸邊想與天
鵝拍照，卻又害怕被咬，這樣有趣的畫面，實在是令人印象深刻！之後，
大家上了船，眼前的湖岸風光與遠方的高山相映，這樣的美麗畫面，令人
想多在那兒多待一會，享受那樣愜意的午後時光。到了 Kisick 這個小鎮，
有些人走在石頭路上，拿著相機猛拍照片，有些則是悠閒的坐在街道外，
享用著美味的下午茶。而我們也在拍了許多照片之後，走進一家餐廳，品
嘗當地的小點心，度過了一個悠閒的午後。
隔週，我們到了英國的第二大城－曼徹斯特，學校安排了參觀曼聯的
足球場以及曼聯的博物館，雖然我對於足球沒有很大的熱衷，對於足球員
也沒有很多的認識，但看到館內陳列著許多從以前到現代的足球事物、歷
年的知名足球員、參觀球員們的換衣間、休息室等，還是會忍不住拿起相
機猛拍，結束了早上的行程後，我們到了曼徹斯特的市區，在這個城市中，
不但可以看到許多的高樓大廈，也可以看到許多古老的歐式建築，兩種建
築看似衝突，但當你站在此地時，並不會有如此的感覺，反而會覺得兩兩
相互襯托出各自的特色，形成一個很融洽的街景畫面。而且在這裡，我們
也很恰巧的在問路時，問到了從台灣的留學生，他們還替我們帶路，讓我
們有一種他鄉遇故知的感覺，備感溫馨。
在最後的一個禮拜，我們最後到了利物浦這座美麗的城市，早上，我
們先參觀披頭四博物館，雖然我對於這個極具影響力的樂團沒有很多的認
識，但，看了他們從發跡到知名的那段路程，種種的事物，都呈列在此博
物館內，不但讓人可以懷念他們，也讓我們對他們有更深的認識。在逛完
了披頭四博物館後，下午的行程是自由活動，我與另一位同學即拿著老師
發給我們的城市地圖，隨意亂走亂逛，沿路拍了許多照片，途中，還進去
了一間博物館，看了古埃及的展物，之後，還進去了一間大教堂，裡面的
裝置真的令人嘆為觀止，而莊嚴肅靜的氣氛也不禁讓人不敢大聲喧嘩。在
一個下午，我們幾乎走了整個城市一圈，不但不感到疲憊，還因此感到很
滿足，甚至有著些許的成就感呢！
有一個週末，我們到了學校附近的公園去欣賞戶外的戲劇公演－梅林
傳奇，這一次的看劇的經驗非常地其妙，因為我們必須隨著劇情、劇幕的
變化，跟著轉變場地，每到一段劇情落幕，工作人員就會指引觀眾們該換
到另一個地點，在轉換地點的途中，也會看到幾個演員在一旁表演，讓這
段路程，多了幾分的樂趣。此外，令我印象最深刻的是，主角－亞瑟王，
還跑下台來與觀眾們握手，我還非常的幸運，跟他握了手呢！有一天，我
們也到了城裡的電影院看電影，這是我第一次看沒有任何字幕的電影，雖
然有些對話不太了解意思，但大致上的內容還都能懂，算是沒有白白浪費
電影錢了！在電影尚未開始之前，我們逛了城裡的市集，看到了許多人來
來往往、與商家們議價的情況，頗為熱鬧。
這次到英國生活了將近一個月，雖然在食物方面有點不適應，但在其
他方面適應的還算良好。每天上課的時間也過得非常愉快，老師們就像朋
友們一樣，會與我們一起說說笑笑，感情非常的融洽，回到家後，home 媽
也會關心今天在學校所發生的事，問問是否過得很精彩、愉快等，所以，
到了最後一天要離開學校，與老師、寄宿家庭相互道別時，大家都非常的
依依不捨，哭得唏哩嘩啦，直到車子離開學校許久後，才逐漸的平復心情。
這次回國的路程出了些小狀況，一夥人，在曼徹斯特機場 check-in 的
時候，航空公司並未將我們某些人的行李掛至高雄小港機場，而是掛到倫
敦機場，因此，在我們等拿行李的時候，就來不及 check-in 往香港的班機
了！幸虧，害我們趕不上班機的航空公司願意幫我們處理後續的問題，並
提供飯店讓我們過一夜，以至於不用讓我們露宿街頭。過了一晚，我們卻
得從倫敦飛到芬蘭轉機，再飛到香港轉機到高雄，這些等待轉機的時間，
讓我們幾乎都在機場待了快一整天，等待的時間就只能玩牌來打發了！而
我們抵達高雄的時間，幾乎比預定的時間晚了兩天，出關的時候，都已經
是半夜了，一開始，在外面等候的家人們因為遲遲等不到人，還以為又發
生了什麼事，直到大家陸陸續續出來後，才鬆了一口氣。

The 2011 summer vacation was my most unforgettable memory. In this vacation, I got the chance to go England for a month. This was my first time to go abroad without family, and I am so excited to live in a local family. In this trip, I saw a lot of magnificent scenery and made a lot of friends. This month, I thought this is my favorite experience that I never have. Before the leave, all the students get together in the airport. After we check‐in, I said goodbye to my father, mother and younger sister. And all of we take the first picture, all of us feel very strange and embrassing because we didn’t know each other at all. After a very long flight and two times transfer, we finally arrival at Manchaster Airport. Leave the airport we took about 1 hour to take the bus to school. Reach school, we saw many people that are our host family stand in front the Gateway building to greet us with a big smile. When I found my host mother, she gave me a friendly hug instantly. The hug is so tight that I almost can’t breathe. Before we went home, teachers gave us some information about school and paper about our course schedule. After a while, my host mother took me home that I will live in for a month. She dirves so fast that we arrival home just need 5 minutes. She helps me unload my luggage and bring me to my lovely room and introduce her room, bathroom, kitchen and three charming cats. After I arrangement my luggage, I went to bathroom to take a shower. After that I ate my first meal, there has lots of potatos, corn, beans and a piece of fried chicken. First night, I was so tired that I sleep very soon and nice as well as I have a suitable bed. After finish my first breakfast, host mother took me to the school by her car, on the way to school she told me the way to get to school. It is very easy to reach school; I just need to spend about 15 minutes by walk. The first class, teaches and us introduce ourselves to each others. It is very funny monent because everybody felt very embrassing and shy. Afterward we went to the library to apply our student card that we can use it to pay our lunch. After we got our card, the library manager introduced their library and our account and password to use the campus internet. After that, teaches introduce the building which we will study there for a month. When we start our first class, teachers taught some word, sentence and manner that we can use it to communite with our host family. Then, she gave a paper that is Lancaster’s street map. We will use it to know more about this town at afternoon. Finish the class in morning; we went to the restaurant to eat our first lunch. There has many kind of food you can choose such as salad, rice, burger, soup, pasta, potato and so on. After the meal, we went to town with a local student. We went to many places, like the Lancaster castle, post office, bookstore, bus station and library. Finish this short trip, we went home separately. Our course had different subject in each week. For example, we had talk about the tourism, business in Lancaster and Britisih cultture. We always got together to learning in a class, so the atomsphere is very harmonious. In the break time, we will chat with our teachers, like talk about Taiwan’s weather, delicious food, transportation and so on. We also taught them how to count in Chinese; although it is hard to them, they were very conscientious to learn. Sometimes, we will do presentation in a group or by ourself. I think this is very helpful to us, because we can enhance our confidence and made our verbal communication more fluently. Everyweek, we have one day can go out for sightseeing,so we had been to many places,like the Lake District, Manchaster, Liverpool. Before we leave for an attraction, teacher will give some information about this city, like her history, culture, most famous attractions and building. She will give us a map of the city, so we can go around in the city in our free time with the map. This is a very adventure for me, beacause I didn’t have much knowledge about the city, I only have a map can trust. But when I go around the city by myself or two, I felt very confident and happy; I or we did an awesome thing. In July, I’ve been to many charming places. Just like the above‐mentioned. In Lake District, we went to THE WORLD OF BEATRIX POTTER ATTRACTION, visited the Peter Rabbit and other character. I also know the Peter Rabbit how birth by BEATRIX POTTER. After that, we went to a souverir shop; there has lots of goods abouts Peter Rabbit, like candy box, Peter Rabbit’doll, bookmarker, postcards and so on. Althought it is so pretty that attract me, it is too expensive to buy them. Before we took the boat to Kiswick, we waited at the shore and took many photos with big swans or splendid landscapes. When we arrivaled at Kiswick, we went to the Pencil Museum, this is museum was so borning, so I was very regret to pay for the ticket. Then, we went to Manchaster to visit the Old Trafford Manchaster. It has A museum about the Manchaste United, after we look around it, we went to the foodball field. This field is so big that I was very amazing. We have an explainer when we visist the field, but he said too fast to understand it. After that, we went to the city center. In Manchaster, we saw many old and morden buildings, they were very harmonious to exist in this city. In the last week, we went to the Liverpool, we first visited the Beatles museum in morning, although I know they were the most influential bands; I do not have much knowledge. In this museum we saw their fortune to the well‐known from the period of journey, all sorts of things, are presented in this museum, not only people can miss them, so we have a better understanding of them. At afternoon I walked with another student, took the city map that teacher sent us, free to wander random walk, take a lot of pictures along the way, but also into the a museum, saw the exhibition of ancient Egyptian objects, and then still go in a cathedral, which device is really amazing, quiet and solemn atmosphere also can not help but not loudly. In one afternoon, we almost walked around the entire city, not only do not feel tired, but so am very satisfied, even with little sense of achievement too! In a weekend, we went to a park near the school to enjoy the outdoor theater performances ‐ Merlin legend, this experience of seeing the drama is wonderful, because we must move with the plot, drama screen changes, along with changes in space, every a story ended, the staff will guide the audience to another place of the change, the way the conversion site, will see several actors performing in the side, so this wat has a little fun. In addition, I am most impressed with is the protagonist ‐ King Arthur, also ran to step down to shake hands with the audience, I am also very lucky, I shook hands with him! One day, we also went to the city of cinema, this is my first time to see the film without any subtitles, although some do not understand the meaning of dialogue, but also be able to understand the content in general, be no money wasted film ! In the movie has not yet started, we visit the city's marketplace, many people coming and going to see, and businesses are bargaining situation is quite lively. This summer vacation; go to Britain to live for almost a month, although I am not suited to the food a bit, otherwise fairly good adaptation. The time each day passes very happy, teachers were like with our friends, would laugh with us, feeling very harmonious, after returning home, home mom will care about today, what happened at school, ask asked if had a very wonderful, happy, etc. So, to the last day to leave the school, with teachers, host families say goodbye to each other, everyone is very reluctant, crying so much, until the car left the school after a long time, gradually the calm mood. The return journey out of some small state, when we at Manchester Airport to check‐in, we will not confirm the airline should hang our luggage to Kaohsiung International Airport, not linked to the London airport, so when we arrive at London airport, we have to go the baggage claim to pick our luggage. Therefore ,we were late for check‐in for the flight to Hong Kong.Fortunately, the airline willing to help us deal with the problem, they provided we hotel to stay one night, so do not let us sleep on the streets. After a night, we have to transfer from London to Finland, then transfer to fly to Hong Kong and backto Kaohsiung, the waiting time for connecting flights are so long, so we almost have to be at the airport for nearly a whole day, waiting time can only play cards to pass up! And the time we arrived in Kaohsiung, almost two days later the scheduled time 2011 學海遊學 英國坎布里亞大學團 中文心得報告
黃俊翰
首先很高興有這種機緣可以出國見識，增加自身的經歷。在這過程中，體驗
到了國外的生活、文化以及步調，更重要的是，認識到了許多人。或許學習知識
是重要的，不過如何跟不熟悉的人，甚至是外國人建立基本的友誼，我覺得更加
重要。畢竟，出社會後會遇見各式各樣的人，如何溝通和掌握人心，我認為是很
重要的一件事。並不是說要利用別人或者掌控別人，只是至少要大概知道對方的
喜好，不要踩到地雷，根據個性來作應變。
似乎有點扯遠了，接下來就來敘說一下這一趟英國之旅吧。首先那天是七月
二號禮拜六下午，大約五點半從家裡出發，到達小港機場差不多六點十五分，沒
多久後，旅行社的人員就來講解注意事項，並且給大家機票，之後便是與家人的
道別時間。上飛機後，首先飛到香港，由於那時大家還不熟悉，只是說好在哪邊
碰面，便各自去逛街了，那時我隨便找個座位坐下，就拿出筆記型電腦上網打發
時間。沒多久後時間就到了，大家一起集合上飛機飛往倫敦，抵達倫敦後，由於
要等一段時間，而且跟其它人也有了一些交流，便跟其中兩個人一起逛街，是一
男一女，男的英文名字叫 Joe，女的叫 Stella，吃個早餐聊一天打發時間後，便集
合去乘坐班機飛往曼徹斯特了。在飛機上睡了大約半小時就抵達目的地了，之後
跟著大家一起走，領完行李後，便在門口遇到一位坎布里亞大學的接待員，她的
名字叫作 Jade，她帶我們出機場後到一台小巴士，我們就坐這台巴士到坎布里亞
大學了，一路上大家都很安靜，有的在拍攝沿途的風景，有的在睡覺，我是屬於
睡覺的那一類，不過是看風景看到睡著的，風景的確很漂亮，在台灣很少會看到
這種景象。抵達坎布里亞大學後，看到一堆寄宿家庭的爸媽在等我們，然後有一
位老師叫作 Krista，她人看起來很風趣，接下來她給大家一個信封袋，裡面有很
多有關英國蘭卡斯特的介紹以及之後的上課課表和行程，介紹了一些事情後，大
家就各自跟自己寄宿家庭的爸媽一起回家了。我的寄養家庭是一對老夫婦外加一
位阿富汗留學生，姑且先稱他們為爸媽和室友，我爸爸的名字叫作 Sam，媽媽的
名字叫 Mavis，室友叫作 Adi，他們都是很好相處的家人，爸爸比較少言少語，
不過偶爾會開一些很好笑的玩笑，媽媽比較健談，話題永遠不會中斷，室友屬於
很幽默又調皮，他們的住處很棒，有很美的風景又很涼爽，我的房間也蠻寬大又
舒適，事後才知道那房間是他們之前的客廳，之後便是跟爸媽聊天寒暄和整理自
己帶來的行李，已經好久沒跟外國人聊天了，心裡不免有些緊張，然後還有一件
事，我帶來的筆記型電腦無法上網，本來想說完蛋了，這一個月沒網路鐵定會無
聊到死，還好 Adi 幫我解決了了這個問題，真謝謝他，不然我不知道這一個月會
多痛苦了，總之，我很喜歡這個家庭。
隔天早上九點半要到學校上課，Krista 先帶我們大家逛逛校園，熟悉一下校
園的環境，再帶我們回到教室去上課，他們上課的方式都很有趣，開始上課前會
問我們前天過得如何，有去哪裡或者發生了什麼有趣的事情…等，然後再開始上
課，課堂上的內容主要是在講有關英國文化和一些有名的景點，而且上課方式不
會像那種一直講介紹講不停的，會發給大家印有上課內容的紙張，那些紙張有很
多問題，老師會先讓我們自己先想答案，過了幾分鐘後，他會幫大家分組，一組
通常是兩個人，有時候會三個或者四個人不一定，然後大家再一起分享自己的答
案，最後老師會集合大家再一起討論這個問題，並且詢問每個人的想法，再作出
結論。這樣的上課方式我覺得很有趣，首先，可以讓大家更加快速地了解彼此，
令我們很快地熟悉起來，再來，可以訓練我們說話的勇氣，讓我們不怕害羞而可
以盡情地說出自己的想法，最後，這樣的方式可以讓我們的英文能力有所進步，
想要讓英文快速地進步，唯有像這樣實際的聽外國人說話和自己用英文跟他溝
通，我覺得很不錯。
我們的上課課程還蠻豐富的，禮拜三跟禮拜六都會有固定的校外參觀，都是
由 Jade 帶領我們去的，我們參觀了很多地方，令我印象最深刻的是湖區，那裡
的風景真的是我見過最美的，有很多白天鵝而且水也很清澈，附近也有很多綠意
盎然的植物，我們還有乘坐那種觀光用的船，繞了湖區一圈，途中不斷拍照而且
風很大，之後 Jade 帶我們大家去參觀彼得兔，這是英國童話故事裡的一位有名
卡通人物，我們也在那邊拍了很多照片，重點是，買了很多紀念品，而且這些東
西還蠻貴的，我花了超過四十幾英磅，不過我是覺得還蠻有紀念價值的。我們也
有去像曼徹斯特和利物浦這些有名的城市，同樣地買了很多紀念品，我在曼城買
了多有關足球的鑰匙圈和一些紀念用的小皮球，至於在利物浦則在披頭四的紀念
品店買了吉它彈片和一些吊飾。還有一天，在七月七號禮拜四，我們去參觀小學，
主要是了解他們的上課模式，上午是參觀年齡大約五歲的小孩，下午則是大約六
至七歲，相較於台灣而言，我覺得國外小孩很活潑，也勇於舉手回答問題，並且
不怕問問題，同樣地，老師們的上課方式也都很活潑，這一天給我的感覺是，國
外小孩們上學的時候都是充滿笑容的，他們似乎都很快樂。在七月九號禮拜六，
那天的校外課程是去電影院看電影，我們選的影片是 Bridesmaids，中文片名叫作
伴娘幫幫忙，片中的女主角安妮是一位生活一團糟的中年女人安妮，作爲一
個 受 到過失戀創傷單身女人， 她受邀成爲自己最好的朋友莉蓮的伴娘，
而 在 這個過程中，她結識了另 外幾位和她一樣有各式問題的女人，所以
雖 然 生活一派糟糕，但安妮通 過參與婚禮這個昂貴的儀式找到了自己的
機 會 ，她要向好友們證實和顯 示：得到一個人的愛到底有多遠。整體而
言 還 不錯看，而且是沒字幕的 ，有些地方的笑點很可惜地沒辦法理解。
然 後 看完電影，由於那天是爸 爸 Sam 的生日，所以很可惜地沒辦法跟其
它 同 學去逛逛，就先回家準備慶生了，我們家辦了一場 BBQ 派對來慶生，
當 天 晚上吃了好多漢堡和香腸 ，好飽又開心。
總 而 言 之，這 一 趟 英 國 之 旅，我 學 到 了 很 多 事 情，也 認 識 了 許 多 人 ，
更 體 驗了不同的生活，了解到 每個國家都有各自的文化、行為和觀念，
許 多 在台灣不曾聽聞過的事物 ，都在這一趟旅途中見到了，相對地，外
國 人 也對我們台灣人很感興趣 ，時常會問一些有關台灣的文化或習慣，
有 時 候在路上也會遇到不認識 的英國人跟你說「你好！」，相當地有趣。
在 課 堂上，老師們也跟我們分 享了很多事情，我們也跟老師們分享了許
多 在 台灣的事物，類似這樣彼 此的交流，如今離開英國了，有不少對這
個 國 家有了很多留念和回憶， 從沒想過這一生中會經歷這麼有趣的事
情，雖 然 曾經覺得出國是一件 很麻煩的 事，要 整 理 行 李 又 要 搭 飛 機 … 等 ，
很 多 麻煩的事情要準備，不過 當這些麻煩事過去了之後，而且你也從那
個 國 家回來了，你會發現這是 值得的。體驗一下不同的人生，看看外面
的 世 界，似乎也不是一件無聊 的事，現在我終於了解，一成不變的生活
才 是 一件很無聊的事。

First, I’m very pleased to have this opportunity to go abroad and increase my sight. In this process, I had
observed the life of go abroad. The most important was to meet a lot of people. Perhaps learning knowledge is
important, but how to know people who are not familiar with, and even establish a basic friendship with foreigners. I
think it was more important. After all, when we faced the society, we will meet a wide range of people. How to
communicate with the people and catch their minds, I think it was a very important thing. Not meaning that to take
advantage of others or control them, but at least knew about each other's thought. Don’t mess with them, and
according to their individual to make response.
Seems a little pull away, next I would like to talk about the trip that I had. The first day is July 2 Saturday afternoon,
about half past five from home. After arrived Kaohsiung International Airport is quarter past six. Just a moment, the
travel agency came to explain the things we should know, and give us the tickets. Then it’s time to say goodbye to our
families. After we reach the plane, the first flight was to Hong Kong. Because we didn’t know each, so we just make an
appointment about where we meet. Then we go shopping by each. After two hours, everyone was on the plane to
London. After arrived in London, due to take some times, I walked around the airport with two people. A boy and a girl,
the boy named Joe, girl called Stella. We had a breakfast together and chatting to spend the time. After few hours, we
took a flight to Manchester. After took a nap on the plane for about half an hour, we reached the destination finally.
After receiving our luggage, we met the University of Cumbria’s student ambassador at exit. She called Jade. Then
she brought us to the small bus. We took this bus to the University of Cumbria. We were all quiet and tired, and the
scenery along the way was really beautiful. It’s rarely seen in Taiwan. When we have arrived Cumbria, we saw a lot of
host families were waiting for us. We had two teachers, Krista and Helen. They were kind and friendly. Then, Krista
gave us an envelope bag. There are many things about the British Lancaster's introduction and some school’s
curriculum and itinerary. After that, we went home with our host family. My host family is an elderly couple plus an
Afghan student. My father's name is called Sam, mother's name was Mavis, and roommate called Adi. They were all
very kind, my father was quiet and rare words, but sometimes very funny. My mother was conversational, she never
stops talking. My roommate was very humorous and mischievous. They have a nice house. It had beautiful landscape
and the weather was very cool. My room is quite spacious and comfortable. Then, I chatted with my host family and
put my clothes to the closet. I hadn’t talked to foreigner for a long time, and I was little bit nervous. And then one more
thing, my laptop can not surf the internet. Fortunately, Adi help me to solve this problem. It’s really appreciated. If I had
no internet, I will get boring. In short, I love this family.
On next day at 9:30 am to go to school, Krista brought us to walk around the campus and introduce it. Then, she
took us back to the classroom. The class was very interesting. Before class began, Krista will ask us what we had
done at the day before yesterday, or what happened. And then the class started. These classes were mainly talking
about British culture and some well-known scenic spots. However, these classes were not like the kind of talking a lot
and never stop. You will get the content of the paper, and the paper has many questions. Krista would let us think the
answer by us first. Then, after a few minutes later, she will make some groups. A group usually had two people.
Sometimes there will three or four people possible. Then, we will share our answers together. After that, Krista will
gather all of us, and asked each of us. And then make conclusions. It was very interesting. First of all, let us
understand each other more quickly, so we could be familiar quickly. Second, this way can train us to speak bravely.
So we will not afraid to be shy to speak and can enjoy expressing our ideas. At last, in this way, we can improve our
English. If you want to make rapid progress in English, the only way was to listen to foreigners and communicated with
them. It was very good to see our English skills getting better and better.
Our curriculum was quite a lot. On Wednesday and Saturday, we will go out to visit. Jade will bring us to visit the
other cities or sightseeing. The most I had impressed is“The Lake District＂. The scenery in there was really beautiful
that I've never seen before. There are many white swans and the water is very clear. More and more, there were many
trees and grasses. We had the kind of tour boat to ride around the lake. We never stop taking pictures and feel the
wind. The wind was really cool. We felt comfortable. Then, Jade took us to visit“Peter Rabbit＂. Peter Rabbit was a
fairy tale of a British famous cartoon characters. We took lots of pictures from there too. The most important was to
buy a lot of souvenirs. And these things were quite expensive. I spent more than four dozen pounds on these things,
but I feel worthy. We also went to Manchester and Liverpool. We also bought a lot of souvenirs from these two cities. I
bought a football from Manchester and some key rings and a little ball. As in Liverpool, I bought some shrapnel for
playing guitar and straps in the Beatles souvenir shops. Another day, in the July 7 Thursday, we went to visit the
primary schools. The mainly purpose was to understand about their school life. In the morning, we had visit the age is
about five year’s old children. In the afternoon is about six to seven. Compared to Taiwan, I feel those children were
very lively, and they were bravely to raise their hands to answer questions. Furthermore, they were not afraid to ask
questions. Similarly, the teachers were also very lively in classes. In this day, I felt that foreign kids were happy to go to
school. You can see they were smiling and actively. In the July 9 Saturday, the day of the school curriculum was to go
to the movies. We have chosen the film called“Bridesmaids＂. The film centers on Annie (Kristen Wiig), a simple and
single 30-something Midwestern girl (with poor dating track record) who is asked to be her best friend Lillian's (Maya
Rudolph) maid of honor. However, having never done the job, she struggles to please the snobby, rich bridesmaids at
every pre-wedding event. And one of Lillian's best friends is essentially the bridesmaid from hell (Rose Byrne) — who
attempts to take over the maid of honor duties from the inexperienced Annie. Overall, pretty good story, but no
subtitles, and some parts of humors were unfortunately in no way to understand. After the film, because that day is my
host dad’s birthday, so unfortunately couldn’t go with other students to go shopping. So I went home early to celebrate
the birthday party. My host family had a BBQ birthday party. At night, I ate a lot of burgers and sausages. To conclude,
I felt enjoy and satisfied.
All in all, I learned a lot of things in this trip and meet many people. And also had experience a different life. I had
understood that each country has its own culture, behavior and attitudes. Many of these things I had never heard in
Taiwan. In this trip, I had many excited things. Also the foreigners were interested in our Taiwanese. They often ask
about the culture or habits from Taiwan, and sometimes you will see that they will say“Hello＂to you in Chinese. It
was quite interesting. In the classroom, teachers had share a lot of things with us. Also we shared many things about
Taiwan with them. In nowadays, I had left the UK. And many of the pictures and memories from this country were all in
my mind. Never thought I will have such interesting things in my life. Although I had thought that going abroad was
very troublesome. You need to pack up what you needed, and also taking flight was very tired. In other words, you will
have a lot of things to prepare, and its very trouble. But when the trouble was past over, and you had been came back
from that country. You will find it was worth it. It seems not bored to have another life and look around the world. At last,
I finally understand that live in the static life was a very boring thing.
2011 學海遊學 英國坎布里亞大學團 中文心得報告
李妍璋 醫學營養系 9943062A
2011 年的暑假，對我來説是一個很特別的暑假。這一年，我成功申請到學
海助學金。我們一共有 6 團，分別在英國，美國及澳洲。我選擇了英國坎布里亞
大學這一團。坎布里亞大學位于英格蘭的蘭卡斯特。坎布里亞團的研習期間為 7
月 2 日至 7 月 30 日。週一至週五早上 9 點至下午 4 點為上課時間。我們這一團
一共有 12 位，雖然都來自不同的系別，但是我們都相處得很融洽。
坎布里亞大學是一所很棒的大學。大學裡除了設備齊全，處處還种滿植物，
讓整所大學看起來生機勃勃。負責教導我們的老師有兩位，分別是 Krista 和 Helen。
她們除了教我們許多英語的用法及詞彙，她們還教了我們許多英國的文化。這讓
我們深深的感受到臺灣及英國的文化差別。
在英國的這一段期間，我們都住在寄養家庭里。我的寄養家庭是 Dawson
Family。他們是一家四口的小康家庭。爸爸是 Francis，媽媽 Sarah ,大女兒 Grace 及
小女兒 Rose。我的 home 爸 home 媽都很照顧及關心我，讓我在英國也還能感受
到家庭的溫暖。孩子們也很喜歡拉著我在他們家附近到處跑。每天的晚餐 home
媽都會準備得很豐富。她幾乎每一天都準備不一樣的晚餐，讓我能吃盡英國的美
食。有時我也會下廚準備晚餐，讓他們嘗試華人的食物，還好他們還蠻喜歡我做
的菜。
在坎布里亞大學學習的四個星期裡我真的學到了很多東西。第一個星期是關
於英國的教育發展。由於我們才剛到英國，所以老師們為我們準備了關於蘭卡斯
特的遊戲。經過那個遊戲後，我們對蘭卡斯特都有了基本的認識。這一個星期的
教學内容還包括了英文的詞彙、文法及用法。主題的討論則是英國的教育及發展。
爲了能進一步的了解這個主題，老師還安排了我們到當地一所小學（Moorside
Primary School）參觀及參與他們的課程。我發現英國小學生的上課方式和臺灣有
很大的差別。英國的教育比較偏向小組活動。他們的課室不止很空曠，牆壁顔色
也很鮮豔，整閒課室看起來就很有活力。星期五我們去參觀了蘭卡斯特城堡。蘭
卡斯特城堡是蘭卡斯特的地標，也是最有特色及富有歷史性的觀光景點。其中最
特別的是這不僅僅是一座城堡，它還是一個監獄。雖然這座城堡已經歷史悠久，
但是它依然保存得很完好，雄偉的豎立在蘭卡斯特的市中心。
課程的第二個星期是關於休閒及旅遊。英格蘭是一個好山好水的地方，其中
｀湖區＇更是一個能吸引很多觀光旅客到訪的旅遊勝地。所以這一周的文化觀光
就是到湖區去享受大自然。湖區是英國其中一個受保護的國家公園。一到達湖區
首先我們去了彼得兔花園。這裡就是大人小孩都愛的彼得兔的故鄉。彼得兔是英
國著名作家 Beatrix Potter 所創造出來的卡通角色。其實 Beatrix Potter 還寫了許多
童話故事，但是彼得兔藉由它活潑可愛的鮮明特色抓住了孩子們的心，使得孩子
們念念不忘。彼得兔花園裡還有一閒售賣關於 Beatrix Potter 童話故事的店。裡面
的商品琳琅滿目，不只可愛還很實用，真是讓人愛不釋手。
逛完了彼得兔商店後，我們就先搭乘渡輪到安布塞德。，沿途的風景很漂亮，
不僅空氣清新，還被高山環繞，有種世外桃源的感覺。偶爾，還可以看見有人在
湖上進行一些水上活動。大約一小時後，我們就到了安布塞德。我們的第一個行
程是參訪英國浪漫詩人渥茲華斯的故居。之後，我們搭著公車，到了 Keswick 後，
就是自由活動的時間。我們趁著這段時間，參訪了當地的鉛筆博物館。讓我們深
深了解到鉛筆的製作過程以及歷史。過後，我們到附近的市集四處逛逛。Keswick
是一個歷史悠久的地方，到處都充滿古色古香的建築物。站在這些建築物旁，讓
我體會到英國古代的建築美感。一轉眼，集合的時間已到了，我們只好依依不捨
的離開這令人留戀的地方。
第二個星期的星期六，我們去看一場精彩的舞臺劇。那舞臺劇跟一般的不一
樣，因爲它是在公園演出，而且觀衆要跟著舞臺演員一個移動到下一個場景，每
個場景都不一樣。這個舞臺劇是關於國王與魔法師的故事（Merlin and The Legend
of King Arthur）
。在這個舞臺劇裡，我們一共換了 5 個地點，以便能更融入故事
裡。話説，King Arthur 是國王的私生子。當國王逝世後，許多人開始爭奪王位，
這時聰明的魔法師 Merlin 想了一個方法。那就是誰能把石中劍拔出來，誰就繼承
王位。在一次意外中，Arthur 就把石中劍拔出來了，所以他就意外的當了皇帝。
Arthur 還娶了他心愛的女人。之後故事發展到 Arthur 的妹妹不擇手段的陷害 Arthur
以便能稱王。爲了對付他的妹妹及攻擊他的軍隊，他從湖中的女人那裡獲得了一
把神奇的劍。但最後，他被他妹妹陷害成功。命在旦夕的那一刻，他與他的王后
到了湖邊，乘船到了湖中央，把劍還給了湖中的女人，就過世了，舞臺劇就落幕
了。
第三個星期的課程是關於英國商業。一開始，老師就為我們介紹了英國的商
業基礎及商業動向等。老師也讓我們討論自己國家的商業再和英國的比較。爲了
能讓我們更了解英國的商業，老師安排了我們到曼徹斯特參訪。曼徹斯特是附近
一個很繁華的城市。曼徹斯特屬於比較摩登的城市，那裡不止有許多百貨公司，
還處處可見高樓大廈。那裡還有許多著名名牌的專賣店如 GUCCI，BURBERRY
等等。除此，曼徹斯特也因爲它們的球隊而聞名。我們去了 Old Trafford，那是一
座關於曼徹斯特足球隊的博物館。我們在那裡也深入的了解到足球的歷史及著名
球員等。參觀了博物院後就是我們的自由時間，我們可以在附近的市集逛逛。剛
巧 7 月份是英國商店的大減價季節，所以我們在附近的百貨公司買了許多衣服、
首飾及包包等。曼徹斯特的文化觀光真的讓我們受益良多，也讓我們深深的體會
到摩登城市的生活。
第四個星期，也就是最後一個星期是我們報告的發表。課程的一開始，老師
就有跟我們提到我們必須分組做報告。報告主題則自由選擇。我和 2 位朋友就做
了關於英國酒吧的報告。英國幾乎大大小小的城市一定都會有酒吧。經過上網收
集了許多資料後，我們才發現英國酒吧（PUB）是指 public house，就是公共的集
聚地方。所以英國無論老人或少年都喜歡到酒吧去聚聚會，喝喝酒。爲了能更了
解酒吧，我們還到英國的酒吧見識。我們還訪問了酒吧的顧客以找出酒吧在英國
那麽受歡迎的主要原因及蘭卡斯特最好的酒吧。我們把得到的資料都整理並編輯
成 PPT 檔案。就在第四個星期的星期四，我們發表了關於酒吧的報告。老師藉
由我們的報告内容、英文用詞及發音等等幫我們寫了一些評語以便我們能了解自
己的弱點。
在最後一個星期，老師還安排了最後一次的文化觀光，那就是去利物浦。利
烏浦也有一個歷史悠久的地方。那裡最出名的就是披頭四博物館。披頭四是英國
著名的音樂樂團。雖然現在已經解散了，但是他們的歌曲依然廣受歡迎。利物浦
雖然沒有很繁榮，但是它的古色古香卻是別有一番風味。
在最後一個星期，老師為我們辦了歡送會。所有寄養家庭都出席了我們的聚
會。老師也在歡送會上頒發了證書給我們。雖然很開心完成了這課程，但是也覺
得很傷心，因爲我們就快離開了。四個星期的英文課程就這樣過去了，我們也“畢
業＂了。回憶起這一整個月的日子，真的很不捨得離開這裡。無論如何，我們還
是在 7 月 29 號那天離開了英國，離開了坎布里亞大學，離開了我們的老師，也
離開了我們的寄養家庭。在英國的這一個月真的充滿了許多歡樂。我們也學習到
了許多東西，尤其是英國文化。最重要的是，我們的英語都進步了。最後，我還
要謝謝義守大學給我這個機會參與 2011 年的學海海外研習團。

2011 summer is a very special summer to me, because I spent half of my summer holiday in United Kingdom. I attended summer school in Lancaster, England. This is an English language and culture programme. There are 12 of us joined the course . The summer school started from 2nd of July and ended on 30rd of July. We attended this course in The University Of Cumbria,Lancaster. We used to stay in a host family instead of university hostel. I stayed together with Mr & Mrs Francis and family. Mr &Mrs Francis have two daughters .They are Rose and Grace. That is a very special feeling and experience living together in a host family for one month. They treated me very well and I appreciate everything they do for me. There are 4 weeks of courses in this summer school. Krista and Helen were our lecturers in this summer school .Our English course included English vocabulary, listening skills , reading skills and topic work. We used to set aims and fill the noticing charts throughout this course. First week of course is all about the education of England. We had discussed many differences between the UK education and Taiwan education. After discussing, I found out that there were big differences between the education in Europe and Asia. Krista and Helen had taught us a lot of UK greetings and polite requests because they hope we will leave a good impression to our host family. Besides, Krista introduced us to a project work. We should work in pairs in our project and we can choose any topic. My group chose “PUB” as our project topic and this is a very interesting topic. To know more about the education in the UK , Krista had arranged us for a school visit . That is a primary school nearby called Moorside Primary School. We have the chance to study together with the small kid . We found out that the situation and atmosphere in the class were different from Taiwan. Students were studied in pairs or group instead of studying alone. The another biggest difference was student’s behavior. Students in the UK study with joy and happiness but students in Taiwan study under great pressure. Besides visiting the school, we went to Lancaster castle as well. Since Lancaster is a historic city, we should visit the oldest part of the city, that is the castle. We found out that Lancaster castle was a very special castle because it was a prison as well. We joined the castle tour and we have the chance to go into the castle. The castle was so large and you may get lost inside if you didn’t catch up the tourist. The tourist had told us a lot of the castle history. He showed and introduced us the prison, the court and the hanging place. Our tourist asked us to go into one of the prison to experience the feeling of being locked in dark. We were so shock that there was really very dark in the prison and you will have some kind of uncomfortable feeling. Maybe that was some kind of panic or fear. The first week social outing was on Saturday. We planned to watch “bridesmaids” in a cinema. We clearly knew that there were no subtitle in the movie. At first we were so worried because we afraid that we couldn’t understand the movie since our English were not that good. Krista knew our problem and she encouraged us and finally we decided to overcome this problem. We were so concentrate watching on the screen and although we couldn’t understood all the plot of the story but at least we had tried. I think this was a good chance for us to improve our listening skills. Perhaps it’s work! The theme for second week was leisure and tourism. To understand more about the leisure activities in the UK, Krista had arranged us for a cultural visit to the lake district. The lake district is in the county of Cumbria in North West England. It was established as a National Park in 1951. It possesses a unique combination of spectacular mountains, rugged fells , pastoral and wooded valleys and numerous lakes and tarns. So, the lake district is a suitable place for leisure activities. After we reached the lake district, the first thing to do was to visit the Peter Rabbit Garden. Peter Rabbit is a cartoon character which attracted most of the children in this world. Beatrix Potter is the writer for the Peter Rabbit story. Besides Peter Rabbit story, there are a few of another stories like “The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin” , “The Tale of Benjamin Bunny” and so on. After visited the Peter Rabbit Garden , we took ferry to Ambleside. The scenery on the lake was so awesome, we were so enjoyed looking at the scenery. After we reached Ambleside, we took bus to Keswick. Keswick is an old city as well. The architecture there was so special and made me felt that I was in the past century. I visited the Pencil Museum when hanging around Keswick. I learnt a lot from the Pencil Museum especially the types of pencils and the production of pencils. After travelling around Keswick for few hours, we went back to Lancaster. The social outing for this week was the Play in the Park. The theme for this Play was “Merlin and The Legend of King Arthur”. The Play was played in Williamson park and it was a play conducted under Duke’s Theater. Before the Play started, Krista had taught us the plot, characters and setting of the story. This will make us more understand the story when the play is in progress. The Play was so interesting because it took a few places to carry on due to the script requirement. That’s mean we shall change the venue after each chapter. This was a great experience for me and I think the Play was fantastic. The week three was all about the business. We had a cultural visit to Manchester. This is because Manchester is a very prosperous and progressive city. We were hanging around the city and we found out that there were a lot of shopping mall around this city. This showed that we could know more about the business and economy of the UK by observing this city. Besides, Manchester was famous for it’s football club as well. Since we were here, we joined the Old Trafford tour. It’s a amusing place. The week four was all about the project presentation. After collected all the data for our project, we discussed with Krista and Helen and finally, my group had make a PPT about the “Pub”. We presented our project successfully. Although there were some mistakes during the presentation but we have overcame it and finished it. This was an affirmation for us. The last cultural visit for us was to Liverpool. Liverpool is an old city compare to Manchester. We visited Albert Dock. Albert Dock is one of the oldest dock in the UK. Except Albert Dock, The Beatles is the landmark for Liverpool too. The Beatles was a famous band and they were so famous before they disbanded. The Beatles Museum is the best place to go if you wish to know more about them. Since this was the last week for us to stay in the UK, Krista and Helen had arranged us for a farewell party. Our host families were invited to the party and we did enjoyed very much in the party. We were not willing to leave here because we just spent a lot of great times here but we have no choice. The last day had came. We finally leave our host family, our university and the UK. Actually, I felt very thankful because I have the chance to attend the summer school in UK. I had experience a totally different life in the UK. I used to know more about the culture of British and their life‐style. Living together with host family is a great thing ever because that’s not much chance to stay with a host family. Some more my host family treated me very well. They prepared great and special dinner for me every day. They taught me a lot of British culture as well. Besides, I would like to thank our lecturers, Krista and Helen. In fact, we had gained a lot of knowledge due to the hard work of both lecturers. They had spent lots of their time accompanied us and make sure we able to adapt into the life‐style in the UK. They had put a lot of efforts to teach us in this summer school. To make the class more interesting, they had planned a lot of exercise and games too. Krista and Helen also arranged the most host family for us. Instead, they started to contact us to know more about us before the summer school started. I do appreciate everything they have done. 2011 學海遊學 英國坎布里亞大學團 中文心得報告
胡嘉玲
餐旅二 9873047A
在我大一剛入學的時候，就聽學長姐們說學校有學海獎學金，可以供學生出國遊學一個月，只要
在班上名列前茅，并考過英語檢定考試，就有機會獲得。於是，我這就去申請了。大一時申請，通過
學海的名單出爐，我失望了，裏面沒有我的名字。大二這一年，我并沒有抱很大的希望，但是，我通
過了！真感到萬幸，如果這次沒過就沒有機會了，因為只有一、二年級的學生可以申請呢。
大二下學期真是忙得不可開交，考完期末考馬上就要辦退宿了，加上我們三五好友搬到大社住，
搬家的過程還真累人！過幾天就要出發去英國了，只覺得一切都來得太快，因此我并沒有很期待。應
該說，在幾個月前的我一直很緊張呢，要到那麼遠的國家，要搭那麼久的飛機，一想起就覺得好累哦。
可是，不管怎樣， 這一切都是值得的！就這樣，開始了我難忘的英國之旅。
剛到達英國機場，興奮得東張西望，到處都是白人也！偶爾也看到有些東方臉孔。由一位叫 Jade
的學姐帶我們前往我們這一個月要上的大學。路途還蠻遙遠的，我們也在車上睡著了。睡醒已經到了，
還看到我們的 home 爸 home 媽在向我們揮手呢~哇，看到他們真的好緊張。我的寄宿家人老奶奶
Rosemary 一認出我就給我親切的一個吻了~她好慈祥哦！
這個月下來，奶奶待我就像是自己的家人一樣，我住的第一天，她就說把那裡當作是自己家。聊
天時，她知道我早餐喝美祿或豆漿，喜歡吃哈密瓜，她隔幾天就買來了，這令我好感動呢！她還常煮
不同的料理給我吃呢，廚藝真是一級棒！！除了傳統 英國食物，還會做蛋糕、比薩、一些中式和泰式
料理。在 rosemary 家每一餐都很期待，都很飽足。還記得早餐吃麥片，土司和熱飲，晚餐是主餐配果
汁加飯後甜點，就這樣讓我在短短的一個月內胖了兩公斤。
在 cumbria 上課，每天都充滿了歡樂。很榮幸地有兩位很棒的老師耐心地教導我們英文，她們喜歡
笑、很親切、隨和，聽我們的抱怨，擔心我們的安危，為我們不喜歡的事感到抱歉，提供我們很多去
玩時的住宿和交通的資訊，還為我們選了不錯的寄宿家庭呢！我也很慶倖能和這一班朋友到這遊學。
雖然有的喜歡購物，有的吃很多，有的像我一樣常迷路，有的喜歡拍照攝影；我們一起上課，去玩，
BBQ 都很開心，一起討論各自的寄宿家庭的食物、家人、天氣、紀念品等等，沒想到最后還一起共患
難，由於行李寄錯地點，拖延了時間錯過了班機，我們被迫當候補，在機場分散回國。當時真的覺得
太扯了！以後一定要向櫃檯員確認行李要去的地方，尤其是我們轉那麼多趟飛機。
來了英國，真沒想到還能遇到我中學同學美懿呢！我們同窗六年，再加上也參加了合唱團六年。
她一向有具備領導能力，人緣好，人又漂亮呢。美懿在倫敦念書，這次放暑假來找我玩，順便觀光一
下英國的其他地方。她說到，比起繁榮又複雜的倫敦，她比較喜歡 Lancaster 這個清靜悠閒的地方。我
也是如此呢！好喜歡這裡的空氣，特別清新。還有歐式風格的家居擺設、溫暖的小床、美麗的花園，
不同種類的狗和牛、羊等。那天天氣很好，美懿和我們家人一起到 Morecambe 海邊吹吹風，聽著海鷗
的呼叫聲，還在沙灘上跳起來！很多人都來曬太陽呢，就連 Rosemary 也說我們來得正是好天氣的時候。
Rosemary 也曾經帶我和美懿到基督教教堂參與她們的教會活動。我很享受與他們一起唱歌的時候，旋
律簡單容易跟上，感覺很棒！教徒們都很真誠地禱告，我看到他們對上天的誠意，就像是有股神奇的
力量在引導著。而且他們都很親切，喜歡交流，活動后都會一起聚在一塊兒吃點心和喝下午茶呢。
在這裡吃的食物呢，大多數都是高熱量、高膽固醇的。典型的有薯條、芝士、千層面、炸魚，其
他常吃的食物便是沙拉、馬鈴薯、意大利面、濃湯、肉派、蔬菜等。還記得剛到英國的第一個禮拜，
大家就開始想念台灣的食物了。但是慢慢地，我們學會調整自己的胃口，試著接受英國人認為的美味。
唯有英國人煮的飯不夠久所以不夠軟，咬起來會有種咔咔的聲音。在 Rosemary 的家裡，她讓我有機會
嘗到英式烤雞、烤羊肉、傳統布丁、香蕉派、千層面等，讓我感覺超有口福！另外，我們在英國的電
影院看《哈利波特》的完結篇，感覺真不一樣。電影沒有字幕，所以我一直很留心地在聽他們的對話
內容。還有值得一提的是電影院的爆米花和可樂超大份的！
在這段期間，我們去了很多地方，除了學校課程安排的湖區、曼徹斯特、利物浦等，我們還自己
去了愛丁堡、blackpool 遊樂園呢！因為我們知道，一生人能到歐洲國家幾次呢，除了機票不便宜，物
價水準也高。他們說，有時間的時候沒錢去，有錢的時候沒時間去。我們既然都來了，當然要玩個痛
快，沉醉在這裡的人文、藝術、風俗里，感受與我們國家的不同。在這些地方之中，我最喜歡湖區了。
除了景色宜人和頑皮的天鵝，我喜歡那裡的古董、裝飾品的商店，很復古很漂亮。還有各式糖果和巧
克力店，是女生最愛甜食，可惜當做紀念品帶回家的都 融化了。曼徹以足球引以為傲，利物浦的玻璃
建築和博物館讓人印象深刻。這都還好，到愛丁堡才是真的享受呢！這才體驗到蘇格蘭的文化，他們
的格子風格、毛衣、笛聲、華麗的建築、城堡、花園，真的難以形容呢~贊！再來是 blackpool 遊樂園，
範圍廣大，有著世上排名前面的很長的雲霄飛車！我坐過了！那其實沒有很恐怖，另一個叫作 infusion
的才真正刺激呢，可是一轉眼就過去了，又回到原點。
這趟英國之旅主要是讓我們透過吃喝玩樂，從中學習當地的文化、歷史，瞭解當地人的習慣、禁
忌等，與當地人溝通，增進聽力與述說的能力。雖然我的文法上可能還是有很多錯誤，但至少我們不
害怕講英文了。同時也儘量讓自己講多一些，而不是只回答問題而已。一個月的時間說短不短，讓我

University Cumbria——學習心得
I heard some news from my seniors since I was studied in Year one in I-Shou
University. There has a scholarship which is able to study in foreign country. If you have a good
result in one of the semester and had passed the English test, then you may have a chance to
apply for this scholarship. In year one, I failed to apply it. But, I didn’t give up. Luckily, I
passed the test in Year two. I was so excited. As I knew, if this time I couldn’t pass I have no
more chance because this opportunity only offers to Year one and Year two students.
The second semester of Year two was really busy with reports, exam and activities.
When we realized all of these had just over, we continued to move out from campus. The days
we move out from place to place were extremely tired. A few days later, I would start off to
England. I knew that it would be a tired journey again. It took ten more hours to get there.
However, it was really worth. I started my unforgettable life in England.
When we reached London Airport, I couldn’t stop looking around. It was amazing.
Western people were everywhere. A student ambassador led us to University of Cumbria when
we reached Manchester Airport. We fell asleep in the bus. When we were awaked, we could see
our host families were waving their hands to us. They looked so nice. I felt very nervous when I
looked at them. It just liked a dream. My host mother, Rosemary gave me a hug and a polite
kiss. She was a very gentle person.
On this month, Rosemary treated me just liked her family. When we chatted, she knew
that I usually have milo or soy bean milk as my breakfast. She also knew that my favorite fruit
is melon and few days later she bought that for me. May be she thought it just a small things
because she was accustomed to take care of others. For me, it was really touched. Rosemary is
a very good cook. Besides English traditional food, she also knew how to make pizzas, cakes
and some Chinese even Thai food. I still remembered that we ate cereal, toast and milo every
morning. For dinner, we ate main food, juice and desserts. I couldn’t believe that these made
me had another two kilograms on my weight.
It was really joyful when we studied at University of Cumbria. We were honored to
have Christy and Helen to be our English teacher. They are very kind and helpful. They really
pleased to hear our grumbles and also worried about our safety. They always felt sorry if we
were not happy about something. They offered some information of traffic, accommodation and
maps for our trip to Edinburgh and Blackpool. On the other hand, it was enjoyable while
studied with those friends. Although some of them loved shopping, photographing, some ate a
lots, some always lost their ways like me, but we had experienced many things. We studied,
played, barbecued, and discussed our host families, British food, weather, souvenirs and so on.
Even, we faced the problems and difficulties when we went backed to Taiwan. Some luggage
had sent to different countries so that we didn’t check in on time. We forced to be separate and
went backed by our own. It was exaggerated. We must double confirmed with the attendant for
where the luggage is going, or else it may cause another mistake.
During this month, we went to many scenic spots. Besides Lake District, Manchester
and Liverpool that arrange by our teacher as part of the course, we went to Edinburgh and
Blackpool by ourselves. It is because not only the plane ticket, but also the commodity prices in
England are quite expensive. We might just have this chance to come here in the whole life.
Someone said, when you have the time you have no money, yet when you have money but no
time. Hence, we must have much unforgettable memory here. British cultures, customs and
eating habits were really different from my country. My favorite place was Lake District. I love
the various types of antiques, candy and chocolate shops. I couldn’t forget the scenery and the
nasty swans there. Manchester is famous by football while Liverpool’s museums and glass
buildings were impressive indeed. If you ever visited Edinburgh you would love it. It is a place
full of joy and happiness. Their culture like kilts, sweaters, bagpipe, magnificent building,
castle and garden are fantastic. It just one word to describe it, Bravo! Moreover, we went to the
amusement park in Blackpool. We experienced the roller coaster which ranks top ten in the
world. It wasn’t frightened enough. Another game called Infusion was completely excited.
This study tour let us learned about British culture, habits, history through had fun in
different places and communicated with British people. It also improved our speaking and
listening skills while talked to the others. Although there still some grammar problems in our
sentences, but at least we were not afraid of English any more. Time went very fast. When we
began to suit ourselves with the weather and the life there, it is time to go home. I really
appreciate that Rosemary had take good care of me. Although she is much older and had an
operation before, she still insisted to swim once a week. She visited the homeless children on
Friday and prepared some food for them. Someone said, “She is a wonder woman.” And I
would say she is the best grandma I have ever met. If I have a chance, I really hope that can go
back to Lancaster to visit her. It will be another delightful trip.
2011 學海遊學 英國坎布里亞大學團 中文心得報告
觀旅三 許式吟 9879038A 七月二日,手拉了一個大行李箱和一個重得無法言喻的大背包以及懷抱興奮坦忐
忑的心坐著高雄捷運來到高雄國際小港機場。一到了機場大廳就看到許多準備與
家人道別的我的同學們,我想此時此刻大家的形情都是一樣的,小小的不捨中夾帶
著大大的興奮。出發前一刻我們才知道這次的旅程不會有老師帶隊,雖然不是第
一次出國卻是第一次在沒人帶領之下出去；所以團員十二人就此展開為期一個月
的大冒險!
經過十幾個小時的舟車勞頓我們終於來到了英國的國土,一走出曼徹斯特機場大
門就感覺到舒適的天氣,大晴天加上舒適的溫度,跟台灣的夏天比起來這裡真的是
天堂。隨後我們跟著坎布里亞大學的學生大使坐上小巴士前往我們住的城市。沿
路上都是綠草如茵,經過一個一個大大小小的城鎮之後我們到了我們即將要生活
一個月的城市-Lancaster(蘭卡斯特)。見到了坎布里亞大學時我感覺到非常驚艷,
因為這間學校非常的美麗, 校門口一進去旁邊站著的不是警衛而是一排整齊的
樹木,旁邊連著的是兩大片草地,因為當天是個大晴天所以草地上還有人在上面曬
日光浴,感覺十分愜意。接著車子就載著我們到了一棟建築物前面放我們下來,建
築前面站了滿滿的 host families,看到我們一下車他們就熱情地湧過來尋找他們各
自的學生,當天我的寄宿家庭全家出動,這是我第一次見到他們,他們真的是很熱
情的一家人,host father 把我的行李搬上車之後我的 host mother 就開始很熱情的跟
我聊天；我的寄宿家庭比較特別,別的寄宿家庭大部分都是退休的老夫婦,但是我
的寄宿家庭的爸媽都很年輕三十幾歲而已,他們還有一個女兒才 15 歲,可是看起
來很成熟,亞洲人在歐美地區看起來都會比較年紀輕；沿路上我們東聊西聊一下
子就到家了,我的寄宿家庭住在一個安靜的小社區裡面,離城鎮中心有一段距離,
離學校的距離也是十二個人當中最遠的。Host mother 帶我到我的房間放下行李之
後開始大概的幫我介紹他們家,之後她帶我去他們的小花園喝下午茶聊天。由於
我的寄宿家庭的父母剛好住在隔壁也剛好是另一位同學的寄宿家庭所以之後的
一個月我們常常會到隔壁去喝茶聊天看電影。喝完下午茶,我的 host mother 開車
帶我和另一位同學去認識公車路線以及我們上下課會用到的公車站。第一天的晚
上因為時差和飛行的關係很疲憊所以很早就就寢了。
第一天上課因為人生地不熟,坐公車不曉得在哪個地方就要按下車鈴十分緊張深
怕會坐過頭,幸好遇到了好心的司機以及公車上熱心的太太提醒我們才安全的到
校,到了學校之後不曉得 gate way building 在哪,還有熱心的學生帶我們走到定點,
我的第一天就在熱心的當地人幫忙之下展開了。
學校生活
上學的第一天兩位老師帶我們認識學校我們可能會用到的地方,也辦了一張學生
證, 下午的時候學生大使帶著我們大伙用走的大略認識蘭卡斯特。學校的課程完
全是為了我們量身設計的,一開始先讓我們認識英國的文化以、生活方式、習慣
以及禮節。我們最常的上課方式是透過比較台灣和英國的不同來學習,並且請我
們回去寄宿家庭後和寄宿家庭的家人一起討論上課的主題,這樣的學習方式不僅
有趣也讓們更能深刻的體驗其中的不同!另外特別的是,課程裡面還包括了英式英
語的介紹,從小我學習的大部分是美式英語,然而在正統的英式英語裡面有許多跟
美式英語不同的地方,不管是發音、腔調、單字的拚法還是字詞的運用都有很大
的不同,這趟英國遊學我獲益最多的就是這部分!理解英國腔的聽力能力又大幅的
進步很多,真是不虛此行。課程安排上面也很充實四周的上課時間充分的讓我們
了解英國,從生活習慣的介紹到了解目前英國總體的經濟層面,循序漸進。
寄宿家庭生活
跟一些人比起來,我十分的幸運,因為我住進了一個非常友善的寄宿家庭!我的寄
宿家庭成員平均年紀都很年輕,由於他們經常接待外籍學生,所以他們在生活照料
方面也都很專業,重要的是她們每個人儘管都有各自的工作卻都很願意花時間陪
我聊天,聊天當中如果遇到我很難表達的時候他們總是很耐心的聽我說完或是猜
測我要表達的事情。我的寄宿家庭的成員們也很願意嘗試新的東西,我常常會煮
一些台灣特色的食物,例如:炒飯、泡麵。在和 host mother 聊天的時候她還請我教
她簡單的中文,外國人說中文有一種很特別的感覺。他們也帶我去參加他們的小
聚會,讓我除了學校和寄宿家庭以外學到其他英國平常人家有別於台灣人休閒的
聚會方式。
課外活動
學校很用心地安排了許多不同的課外活動。第一個禮拜學校安排我們去參觀一間
名叫 Moorside 的一間小學,們也跟台灣的學校做了一些比較,英國的學生上課比較
積極,常常會主動舉手發表意見或回答問題,就算答錯了依舊不氣餒,下次還是會
舉手,跟老師的互動也比台灣多；座位方面,台灣的座位比較制式化,一排一排的十
分整齊,英國的小學則是老師坐在椅子上,學生們則是圍著老師席地而坐,一間教
室學生的數量也比台灣的少很多,一個班級差不多只有二十位學生,而且每間教室
除了老師之外還有一個助教,這樣每個學生都很容易被完整的照顧到。在教育方
面,台灣和英國各有互相可以學習的地方,台灣的教育可能比較扎實但是太制式化,
學生可能會太過於被塑造,台灣的學生都是以升學為第一目標,然而英國的教育,
學生可以比較自由的發展。另外在這個禮拜學校還另外安排了一個電影院的行程,
讓我們體驗完全沒有字幕的電影,那天我們投票決定看 Bridesmaids,台灣還沒上
映,看完這部電影之後發現有些電影不用字幕也可以了解裡面的內容。第二個禮
拜我們去了美麗的湖區(Lake District),坐船遊湖一圈,湖的沿岸到處都可以看到度
假別墅,湖區是當地有名的渡假勝地,之後我們還參觀當地有名的彼得兔博物館,
回程的時候因為司機時速過快,整車的人幾乎都暈車,下車之後大家都在感謝神讓
我們平安到家,這段也成了我們這段旅程難忘的回憶。第二個禮的周末,我們參與
了一場讓我永生難忘的戲劇表演,這場戲劇表演是以當地有名的 Williamson Park
為場景演出英國家喻戶曉的梅林(Merlin)的故事,全部的觀眾跟著劇組跑了六個場
景,這樣的表演方式在台灣從來沒有看過,劇情的表達也十分精彩,尤其是最後一
幕 Lady of the Lake 最為精彩!只可惜,因為經費短缺,今年是他們最後一年在
Williamson Park 表演。第三周的校外教學,學校安排我們到鄰近的大城市-曼徹斯
特。曼徹斯特的第一站我們來到曼聯的球場(Old Trafford),跟著導遊一路參觀球場
的設施,最令人難忘的莫過於是看到曼聯的足球場區,十分壯觀,只可惜的是,導覽
人員講話的速度太快,以及口音的關係所以幾乎聽不太懂他的解說。之後的行程
我們就拿著曼徹斯特的地圖各自去冒險；曼徹斯特真不愧是一座工業大城,到處
大樓林立,街上也有許多各式各樣的國際品牌,跟我們居住的蘭卡斯特完全不同風
格。我們還去參觀全英國最大的中國城,我們在裡面的一間 bar 點了珍珠奶茶,那
裏的珍珠奶茶跟台灣正統的珍珠奶茶比起來簡直是天壤之別,口味太甜不說,珍珠
還不是現煮的,他們的珍珠是已經煮好冰在冷凍庫有一陣子了,當客人點的時候再
拿出來泡熱水,攪著過甜的口味所以食用起來有種讓人卻步和詭異的口感。第四
周學校安排的參訪城市是利物浦。來到利物浦大家第一個共通的印象是:這個城
市好像高雄,因為這個城市也是個工業發達的海港城市,跟高雄有點類似。利物浦
最有名的莫過於是披頭四,這座城市裡面有一間特別為披頭四設立的博物館,對於
喜愛披頭四的我,這間博物館簡直是個天堂。除了披頭四博物館之外,利物浦還有
許多其他的博物館,我們另外還有參觀一間博物館裡面有怵目驚心的木乃伊還有
昆蟲館、動物標本室,這些地方都讓我難以忘懷。除了學校安排的校外教學,我們
團員十二個人也利用課餘時間安排出遊,我們自己查路線、坐火車去了很多地方
如: Preston 逛街購物、Morecambe 海灘、愛丁堡、加上我們自己也去了一次曼徹
斯特有名的購物天堂-Trafford Centre；最特別的行程是愛丁堡,愛丁堡位於蘇格蘭,
所以風格跟英格蘭檢直是迥異,連街頭藝人的形式都不太一樣。在愛丁堡的街上
可以看到許多穿著傳統蘇格蘭服裝的街頭藝人吹奏蘇格蘭風笛,在街上就能體驗
到濃厚的蘇格蘭風情,我們也參觀了城堡和體驗當地的威士忌風味餐,雖然在愛丁
堡發生了一些事情,也花了不少錢,但是值回票價!
回程與結論
經過一個月的相處,大家的革命感情早已不可言喻,視對方為戰友,為了回台灣能
夠聯絡方便,我們還在社群網站中設立一個方便聯絡的社團,從一開始完全不認識
到現在的密不可分,只能說緣分的力量之大。對於與寄宿家庭的情感更是溢於言
表,寄宿家庭對於我們的照顧,我都記在心裡,也十分感謝他們,離開前我們也互留
了聯絡方式。要與朝夕相處一個月的寄宿家庭分開大家都哭成一團,也很不捨。
難分難捨的道別之後,我們一夥人踏上歸途。原本以為回去的路上會跟來的時候
一樣順暢,結果因為英國航空的疏忽,導致我們一些人原先的機位被賣掉,讓我們
剩下的十個人無法準時返台,等候補幾個小時之後我和另外兩位同學就先上飛機,
剩下的七位同學就必須在過一夜才能上飛機,甚至有六位同學還要飛到芬蘭的赫
爾辛基轉機；回到台灣的時候還找不到行李,等到隔天才收到,回程完全不睡順利,
一些購物的行程也都被打亂；雖然沒有完美的句點,但是這趟英國行整體來說近
乎完美,非常令人回味,也受益良多；尤其是天氣,當地人常說那裏常下雨,晴天對他
們來說是非常珍貴的,但是我們在的那幾天幾乎沒有下雨,出遊時也都是大晴天相
伴,為旅程加分許多。現在看到照片,回想起來,真是一段美麗的回憶；也因為這樣
讓我有更多動力在課業上努力,尤其是語言上的精進,希望未來還可以舊地重遊,
或是到那邊讀書。最後感謝學校提供這個獎學金,讓我們有機會出國增長見識,也
讓我們在語言有更多的學習環境。
Tourism and Hospitality Hsu Shih‐Yin(Elsie Hsu) 9879038A In 2011 July 2, I carried a luggage and a heavy backpack with an excited mood to set foot on my first trip in United Kingdom my group members and I embarked on a one‐month adventure! Because this was our first time to study abroad without any teacher accompanied us, it seemed nervous especially. After fourteen hours traveled‐worn we finally arrived in the land of United Kingdom. When we walked away from the air port of Manchester, we felt the very comfortable weather. Comparing with Taiwan, the weather in summer here is cool and refreshing like a heaven on earth to us. We rode on the shuttle coach to the town where we will live in four weeks. We went through many towns and there are lots of green grasses on our way to school, finally we arrived in Lancaster. After we enter the campus, we met all the host families. My host family took me home by their car. This was the first time I living with British. I heard the British is very serious and polite. But on my way home, my host mother chatted with me. After this first talking, I felt this rumor is not true. On the contrary, I felt that they are lovely and nice. When I first stepped into the house we lived, I felt very different to houses in Taiwan. The houses in United Kingdom always build in wood or stone. But our houses always build in reinforced concrete. Then my host mother took me to my room, this room is small but clean. After that, my host family invited me having afternoon tea with them in their garden. That was a leisure moment. After the afternoon tea, my host mother took me by car to walk around the town of the Lancaster, and let me know which stop should I took on and took off when I went to school and back home. Also she took me too many important locations that might use, like bus station, post office, train station, cinema, and some special restaurants. School life The first day I went to school. I was not really realized which moment I should press the stop button in the bus. Fortunately, there are many kind people in the bus remind me and help me to press the stop button. Even one of a student leaded me to the building where we met in the school. I am really touched and thankful. School curriculum is entirely tailored to us. They start to let us know British culture, lifestyle, habits and manners. In the class we always compare the difference with our country. The most special, we have two classmates from Malaysia, so that we can not only compare the difference with Taiwan but in three ways. We also discussed the topics with our families after school. This kind of learning way not only interested but we can also learn and experience deeply. The most important part of this language course is introducing the British English. And we compared British English with American English in many ways (e.g. usage, vocabularies, and accent). Because we always learn and use American English not British English, I benefited greatly. My ability of listening and speaking of British English are improved. The school also introduced us the economy of United Kingdom. Let us know what the economy problem of United Kingdom is. Family life First of all, I have to say that I met a very nice and lovely family in the Britain. The averages of age of my host family members are very young. Though they have their own jobs, they still willing to spend time to talk to me and listen to me. My host mother always cooked a lot of kinds of food for me. The most special cuisine was Chinese fried rice. That was her first time to cook Chinese fried rice. And I also prepare some Taiwan food for them (e.g. famous brand of instant noodle in Taiwan). In one of evening, my host mother and host sister invited me to join their girls’ reunion. That was a very nice evening. We played badminton together. After that we went to a lady’s house to play some games. I am very glad to meet them! Extracurricular activities The school plan many activities to us. First week, we went to a primary school which name was Moorside. We visited and joined their class. I think the most difference between students in Taiwan and in the Britain was their “class attitude”. The students in Taiwan are passive and shy to interact with their teacher. But students in the Britain are more active in the class and always interact with their teacher. And the sits in Taiwan are more organized. But in the Britain their sits of students are more flexible. In the Britain, the students don’t have their own books, but in Taiwan we have our own books. The schools in United Kingdom are focus on the group working, but in Taiwan we always work in individual. Also we have almost 40 students in the one class in Taiwan. There are only 20 students in the one class. So the students in the Britain are easily to be taken care. The teaching and learning cultures are very different between Taiwan and United Kingdom. This week we also went to the cinema to watch the film. We watched the “Bridesmaids”. That is a comedy. So without the subtitle we can also easy to understand what this film wanted to express. The second week we went to the Lake District and visited the museum of the Peter Rabbit. The museum of the Peter Rabbit is definitely a paradise for children. And the Lake District is the perfect resort. Many climbers are there to go climbing. In this weekend we also watched a very awesome play in the Williamson Park of Lancaster. We watched “Merlin” in that day. The whole Williamson Park was the backgrounds and stages. So we have to follow the crew to walk to the next scenes. That is very special to us, because we don’t have the similar performance. Unfortunately, this year is the last year that they play the play in the Williamson Park, because the shortage of funds. What a pity! In the week three, we went to the big city which is next to Lancaster‐ Manchester. Manchester is the second largest city in the United Kingdom. Manchester also has the largest china town in the United Kingdom. The first stop that we visited in Manchester was The Old Trafford Stadium. We visited the football field, changing room of the football player, and the exhibition room of the history of the Manchester United Football Club. After visiting The Old Trafford Stadium we visited the whole city by ourselves and a map. We went to the shopping street, china town, city hall, and the cathedral in the Manchester. Manchester is the quite different city from Lancaster. Manchester is an industrialized city but Lancaster is a historical city. In the last week, we went to Liverpool. Liverpool is the city which similar to Kaohsiung. Liverpool and Kaohsiung are both have port, Ferris wheel, and many modern arts. And these two cities both are industrialized city. There are many museums, and art galleries. First stop, we visited the museum of the Beatles. Next stop we went to the national museum. The national museum is a compound museum. We visited Egyptian Exhibition. There are many mummies, vases made by the pottery clay in that exhibition room. The topic of the next exhibition room was Prehistoric Animals and the dinosaurs. That was a very knowledgeable trip! In addition to the extracurricular activities planned by school, we also plan some trip by ourselves. We visited many cities by the train. For example, we went to Preston to go shopping, Morecambe bay, Edinburgh, and the Trafford centre of Manchester. The most impressive place was Edinburgh. We stay in the Edinburgh for one night. Edinburgh is a very different area from England. Edinburgh is full of atmosphere of Scotland. We can see many street performers playing the traditional instruments of Scotland. Finally, really thank I‐Shou University provides us this scholarship to give us an opportunity to study abroad. When I saw these photos that I will think of the beautiful memories during these four weeks in the United Kingdom where I lived in. This experience inspires me to more study hard and hard. I hope I can study abroad in the future. Now I am focusing on the training of English abilities. Especially improve the ability of oral speaking and listening in English. If I have these two of ability of oral speaking and listening in English that I can travel around the world by myself easily. The United Kingdom is a very nice, friendly, beautiful, and modern country. I am sure that I will travel the United Kingdom again. I learn lots of things in these four months; these four months will be a very good memory in my life. This summer is the best summer vacation I ever been!
