Share the diary of studying in Europe and Ireland

Is there a lot to say but I don't know how to write the diary of studying in Europe and Ireland? Then come in and see if I can help you! The following is the diary of studying in Europe and Ireland, which I compiled for you, for reference only. Welcome to read this article.

Diary of studying in Europe and Ireland, sharing 20xx years, months, days and weeks in Beijing time. Via Moscow Ulaanbaatar. Arrive at Copenhagen airport in Denmark. Everything abroad is more real than people think. When we boarded the plane in Copenhagen, several people were on the same plane with us. They wear English badges on their chests and hold promotional materials, saying that this is the blessing of the motherland. Obviously, no one wants to talk to them that much. At 9: 00 Irish time and in the afternoon of Beijing time 1, we arrived at Dublin Airport in Ireland successfully. After completing the immigration formalities, get the bag and divide the house. Zhang Xin and I are separated. If we are not satisfied with the house, we can change it. Simply tidy up, it's past 1 1, and I'm anxious to sleep, but the time difference has not reversed. After only a short sleep, I couldn't sleep. It's Beijing time 14: 12. It's 6: 12 local time in Ireland. Anyway, I have to go to school to go through all kinds of formalities today. The rest of the way is up to you.

Ireland's first impression

Today is my first day in a new school. The landlord took us to school in her BMW. The streets in Ireland are narrow, but the speed is fast. Everyone has a good sense of traffic. If someone is waiting to cross the street, the car will stop and signal you to pass. ) I finally came to school. The school is a little different from what I expected. Generally speaking, this school is one of the most famous universities in Ireland, but the area is not very large and there are not many people. There are also few buildings. Unlike domestic universities, it costs at least 100 acres. But it has the atmosphere of a European school. Some of the rumors I heard about Ireland before were not like this. There are many Irish people in Ireland, but that doesn't mean they are all over the street. And Arabs, blacks, Jews. It is no exaggeration to say that Ireland is a big country. My host family is in the suburbs, in the 24th district. It's a better residential area in Dublin. Back against a hill. There is a large lawn near the house, which belongs to the residential area. It's bigger than an ordinary stadium. The air is especially fresh in the morning. Most of the houses here are small villas with two floors, three bedrooms and two halls (according to China's view). There is a low fence around the house for parking, and there is usually a clearing bigger than the house behind the house as a garden. There are many family gardens where nothing grows, but grass grows in them. Most houses are made of wood floors and wallboard, which are very warm but not sound-proof, so whatever you do, you should be careful. But near downtown Dublin, there are also many shops and crowded people. Whether it's streets, buildings, sculptures or shops. They all give people a typical European atmosphere. I didn't open a bank account today, but I should have opened it the next day. When I got home, the landlord cooked dinner and the food was ok. Chicken, French fries and soybeans. I hope it doesn't happen every day.

I took the entrance exam today, and I didn't feel very good about myself and the questions were not too difficult. There are just a lot of words I don't know. 150, 40% is required to pass. Well, it's not easy to get into college. If I can't pass, I will go to a language school for a while. I discussed the price with the landlord today. 90 euros per person per week. That is, RMB in 720 yuan every week. Plus this year's tuition is 7620 euros. If you want to go to a language school. CES weekly 170 euro. The money I brought when I first came here was not enough for half a year's expenses. Reality leaves me no choice. At this stage, first of all, pass the language and strive to be admitted to the university. If you can't go directly to college, then go to a language school for a while. If the language is really bad, you'd better go to a language school first. ) Then find a part-time job to support yourself. Temporary.

The first class at the University of Ireland

It must be said that foreign universities are not as studious as people usually say. Its entrance requirements are lower than those in China. However, the requirements of universities for graduates are not low. That is, what is commonly called lenient entry and strict exit. This requires its students to make more efforts in school. This is especially true for us international students. College textbooks are inherently difficult to understand. In addition, it is very difficult to teach in another language that you are not good at. Today is my first day in college. It can be said that I basically don't understand. I'm a little hesitant now, too. How can I walk in front of me? Is it crustily skin of head? Or go to the language school first? If I grit my teeth and stick to it, I may succeed. But what if it doesn't? Didn't I waste half a year and tuition?

Everyone says that being outside is to learn to be your own master. This master is not easy to be. My main problem now is that there are not enough words. This is fatal. The teacher didn't understand what he said, and neither did the materials he sent. How to learn this? College courses are so jumping that you can't preview them in advance. And going to a language school may not help much. Because the difficulty lies in the number of words. I don't think language schools will be very helpful to this. You still have to find time to teach yourself. According to others, CES Chinese is an English learning center and a very good language school. But the tuition is not cheap. Every week 170 Euro, which is about RMB 1360 yuan. That is 5440 yuan per month. Plus the accommodation fee of 350 euros per month, it will cost 1030 euros per month. 8240 yuan per month. The more this account is calculated, the more it hurts. I should do everything possible to seize the time to study. Try to enlarge your vocabulary. It would be better to strive for admission in January than it is now.

I have to bite the bullet and go. I know very well that there is only one way before me. You have to grit your teeth until the end.

It's not difficult to take an exam in a language school today. Its purpose is only to understand the level of students and then divide them into classes. The school is not very big. There are only two stores. But he has several floors and a basement. So the internal area is not small. These include reception stations, offices, restaurants and classrooms. It can be said that sparrows are small and complete. Now it is one of the best language schools in Dublin. I hope it will improve in these three months.

Ireland's food, clothing, housing and transportation

Many people say that Ireland is a big country. No tall buildings, no viaducts. Yes, there are really no high-rise buildings and high-speed overpasses in Ireland. However, this is its charm. A city and country with rural scenery. They don't yearn for the architectural style like new york. For them, a garden of their own is more important than anything else.

Ireland's environmental greening is particularly good, and bare soil is rarely seen here. Basically, all open spaces are managed and afforested by special personnel. There is no problem if you don't shine shoes for two or three days.

As far as I can see, the architectural format in Ireland is relatively simple. Generally, the housing of suburban families is mostly two-story villas. There are relatively large open spaces in front and back. It is generally larger than the house itself, with a parking lot in front and a garden in the back. The fence is very low, usually around1-1.5m. Some families have no walls at all. Most families have double doors, and most of them are sliding doors outside. Including many shops. Probably because of the wind and warmth. Sound insulation effect is also good. The sound insulation in the room is poor. Walking around the house, the whole house is banging. It feels like a dangerous house. Basically, every family uses heating. It's still quite cold here at night. Especially on windy and rainy nights. One more thing, here, whether in the city or in the suburbs. Every adjacent door has a different color. There are many old and new buildings, churches and parks in the city center. If you have time in the future, you should have a look. I haven't found the park yet. Not including amusement parks, of course.

Irish people like to park their cars in front of their homes at night. Or the roadside. Maybe it's because I paid insurance. I'm not afraid of losing it at all. However, many people will add a chain lock to the steering wheel. Motorcycles and bicycles here are also tied together with helmets. I've never seen anyone use a bicycle and motorcycle lock. There seems to be no requirement to wear a helmet when riding a bike. I've never seen anyone ride a motorcycle without a helmet. The wind is too strong. If there is noise here, it is a motorcycle! The motorcyclists here are cool. I like to take down the silencer and make it look like a tractor. We all call it "dying quickly". Because it's fast, whether in urban or suburban areas. Irish people basically like to drive fast. Although the streets and alleys in Dublin are very narrow, every driver drives very fast. Of course, as long as you obey the traffic rules, there will be no big problem. Including buses. The main line is mostly double-decked. The first floor is mostly for the elderly, women, children and the disabled. Under normal circumstances, young people will consciously go to the second floor. Ireland is a driver on the right, driving on the left. Contrary to China, I was not used to it when I first came here. There are more Japanese cars on Dublin street. Mainly because of fuel economy and small size. For example, Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Suzuki. Followed by European cars, such as Opel, Renault, Logo, Citroen, Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Then American cars. Jeep series, Ford and Chevrolet, etc. The more cars that consume a lot of gas, the fewer they are. Many people in China bought cars here. It should be said that buying a car here is not expensive, but the problem lies in the insurance premium. The insurance premium in the first year here is particularly high. It's usually twice the price of your car. Then it will decrease. It is worth mentioning that there are many carriages on the streets of Dublin. This makes Dublin more like a European city.

Because Dublin is near the sea. Besides, Ireland has no mountains. So the weather changes are more common. Strong winds and heavy rains are coming. It's often sunny here with moderate rain. As a result, Irish people dress untidy. Often you wear short sleeves and I wear down jackets. When the sun goes down, the temperature here will drop a lot, and you will feel a little cold. Most students in Ireland wear school uniforms, mostly green and blue. Universities generally don't issue them, and students are required to wear clothes.

Besides, this is food. According to some compatriots, it is not something that people eat. Don't think that foreign food only eats hamburgers and French fries. That's fast food. Usually there are more dishes at home than this. Such as carrots, Baotou vegetables, all kinds of beans, corn and so on. Steaks and pork chops are also available, but it's not my turn to eat them. I don't eat much rice. Meat is abundant and cheap, while chicken, beef and fish are cheaper. There are many kinds of dairy products, and they are not expensive. Rich in nutrition. However, the taste is really flattering. Although I have been here for a short time, I miss the food at home very much. Friends also joked that most overweight people are poor at home. Because, usually eat more meat products and high-protein food. Here, the price of a bottle of ordinary milk is a little more than 1 euro, but the price of a bottle of skim milk is about 1 euro and a half. A bag of bread is about 0.4 euros. In Asia, a bag of 10 kg rice costs more than 9 euros, which is also very cost-effective. So it's still very cost-effective to cook it yourself.

Finally, let's talk about the Irish. Most Irish people are still very friendly. Especially the elderly, are very amiable. If you want to ask for directions and help, try to find middle-aged and elderly people. Basically, it won't hit a nail. As for young people, there are many Irish young people who are also very nice and friendly. But some are not so good. Especially underage children. Don't provoke them. Leave as soon as you see something wrong, or pretend not to understand. It's better to take one more thing out. There are many Pakistanis and blacks here, and students and people with jobs are generally friendly. Of course, there are also many hooligans and drunkards. However, as long as you are careful, there will be no big problem.

It has been two weeks since I arrived at my host family. Basically, it's ok However, for convenience and economic reasons, I decided to move out. I have been familiar with the basic environment in these two weeks. Now, it may be better to live independently. Today, I helped Ari and Guo Sheng move their luggage. I was busy for half a day. In the afternoon, I went to buy meat and rice with a friend. Today is Sunday. Few people sell vegetables.

I have been shopping all afternoon. In the future, I will never be afraid of going hungry again. The meat here is still very cheap. A large plate of chicken wings (14) is only over 2 euros. Chicken legs are also very cheap. My friend bought two plates of chicken wings and two plates of big meat (big meat and beef are more expensive) and some vegetables. Vegetables are the most expensive (4 eggplants cost more than 6 euros in 50 yuan). My friend cooked it and fiddled with it for three or four hours. Made five courses. I had a delicious meal. I gave it to a foreigner for half a month without salt or vinegar. This meal is the real solution.

In the future, it's up to you to eat again.

Understand the daily life in Ireland

Since the beginning of September, rainy weather has increased significantly. It can be said that it rains once or twice almost every day. Regardless of size. Tight or slow. My friend told me that Ireland has now entered the rainy season, which is a bit like the "Meiyu" in the south of China.

But there will be some differences. Although it rains every day, it is not a continuous drizzle. In the early morning, when I first get up, the weather is usually fine. The sky is blue and the clouds are white. Sometimes the sky is indescribably blue, without a cloud. This is a rare fine weather in China. However, after that, you never know what will happen. No one here knows what the weather will be like in ten minutes. This is why the British and Irish like to discuss the weather. Patriotism, like Britain, is an island country. It has very obvious maritime climate characteristics. Besides, there are no obstacles from mountains. Therefore, Ireland can be said to be a big ship floating on the ocean.

Interestingly, once, I asked my teacher. Why do many Irish people don't wear umbrellas and raincoats on rainy days? The teacher's answer is very interesting. He said that some Irish people are lazy and don't like washing clothes. So, they can wash clothes with rain. This answer is not exact. However, two things are true. One is that it rains without an umbrella, and the other is that the Irish are too lazy to work and wash clothes. I often see some Irish people. Drive to the laundry and unload a lot of clothes from the car. About forty or fifty dollars, and then wash it. Laundry in Ireland is paid by the catty. So some families will wash clothes once a week. It's simple!

Irish people sometimes find it difficult to understand. They like music very much. However, everyone will say that the music they don't like is rubbish. Life is casual and work is conservative. 19.20 euros When you pay for something, you give him 20.20 euros. He will give you back 20 points first, and then 80 points. I really don't know whether to praise or laugh. You can't bargain at ordinary shops or street shops. But some temporary stalls will do. But not much.

Dublin * * * has 24 districts, which are divided into two by the "Lifei River". The south bank of the river is the even area, and the north bank of the river is the odd area. When I first came, my host family was in the 24th district. The environment is Dublin. Now I live in area 7, on the north bank of the river. It's only ten minutes' walk from the city center. It's only ten minutes away from Phoenix Park (the most beautiful park in Europe). It is still very convenient.

I have been in this language school for more than a month. Learn more. This school is a language school in Ireland. Of course, the fees are quite high, but there are still many people who choose this school to study languages. Students will be graded after passing the entrance examination. He was divided into seven grades. And I was assigned to the fourth grade from the beginning, and the teacher said that my grades were very good. Because, the vast majority of students began to learn from the second and third grades. A few of our friends who came to the language school together, like me, all started to learn from Band 4. The teacher said, if you are in the fourth grade. Then you won't encounter any big problems in your life. If you can get into Grade 5 or 6, it will be much easier to enter the university. However, the teacher also said that the progress in learning languages will be smaller and smaller in the future. Hope to upgrade as soon as possible.
