I am rather introverted by nature and don't find it easy to make new friends or expand my circle of acquaintances. Chinese class forced me to sit down and talk to people, and over time this led to warm friendships. I often wonder what would have happened without Chinese class. I may well have lived a rather isolated life as an overseas student.
我時常在想，因我個性比較拘謹內向，不易交到新朋友，也不擅長擴展自己的生活圈，若不是來到中文班，需要與人坐下來談話溝通，進而成為熟絡的朋友，我可能每天過著封閉的留學生活。
