-------If you are tired, please come here, have

About Me
Hi, there! My name is Yu Yaxin, an 18 year-old-boy from the spring city-Jinan, the capital
city of Shandong
province in China. Now I am taking the
bridging course in NIE, Singapore as a
member of 9th batch sm2 students, in the accelerated program group-Group 16. In July this year, I will go to NTU (Nanyang Technological University) to start my university life.
Well, I want to say welcome to Singapore;
it is a very nice country!!

What I have learned
Now, I have been in Singapore for about half a year and have studied science (Math, Physics and Chemistry)
and English in NIE for 4 months. This 4-month learning helps me a lot. I learned how to read faster and more effectively in
my reading class, and I also learned the academic writing structure and how to write academic essay. I learned how to talk
properly on my oral studies as well. Moreover, I have improved a lot on my listening. All of these lead me to make
a good preparation of my coming university life. Although my bridging course is going to be over, I think this pleasant period
of time will be in my mind forever.

Helpful links for learning English
Repeat After Us
http://www.repeatafterus.com/
Started by an American school student, this site has thousands of copyright-free
online texts, ranging from "memorable quotes" to prose to "stories around the world", many of which are accompanied by audio
of students or teachers reading the texts aloud.
This American Life
http://www.thislife.org/
My favorite radio show, archived online. (Great to listen to while you have
to do some mindless task, such as inbox clean-up.) Fascinating, hip, expertly-crafted stories, most of which are true investigations,
and a few fiction, including regular work by writers including David Sedaris. Can buy downloads of individual episodes, or
listen for free using streaming audio. Has been used by dozens if not hundreds of educators. Great for listening tasks for
students.
