來自台灣的社會新鮮人Shirleen，從大學應用外語系畢業後，來到MeRISE上了4週的商用英語課程，於2019年7月正式從MeRISE畢業囉！
讓我們一起來聽聽畢業生Shirleen在MeRISE的英語學習經驗分享吧！
MeRISE: What’s your current job? 你最近的工作是什麼？
Shirleen: I just graduated from the Department of Applied Foreign Languages. I come to the Philippines to enhance my English ability right before I get an offer of a job. I’ll have job hunting after I go back to Taiwan.
我剛從大學應用外語系畢業，想在正式就業前，到菲律賓強化自己的英語能力，之後回台灣才會開始準備找工作。
MeRISE: Are you using English when you’re at school? 之前在求學過程中會用到英文嗎？
Shirleen: I used English when I studied at school, but there are fewer chances to speak English. Not to say in daily life, there is very little opportunity to use English.
之前在學校上課時會用到英語，但大多都是為了應付學業和考試。而且實際英語口說的機會較少，在一般生活中更是很少有機會用到英語。
MeRISE: Why do you decide to come to the Philippines? 為什麼會選擇來菲律賓學英語？
Shirleen: There is no English-speaking environment in Taiwan. The Philippines is the closest country to Taiwan and has a standard American English accent. I just graduated from college, I’ve got some free time, so I would like to strengthen my English speaking ability in the Philippines.
在台灣沒有全英語的學習環境，菲律賓則是離台灣距離最近，且擁有標準美式英語口音的國家，於是我趁著大學剛畢業的這段空檔，到菲律賓強化自己的英語口說能力。
MeRISE: Why do you choose to study at MeRISE English Academy? 為什麼你會選擇到MeRISE語言學校學習英語呢？
Shirleen: When I was studying English at the university, teachers put more emphasize on academic-related English, and there was fewer English ability that would be practically used in the commercial field.
Because I already had a certain English-speaking ability, therefore, when I was looking for a language school in the Philippines, I tend to focus on the English learning, which I could use after I enter the workplace.
I found that MeRISE's teaching level is higher than any other language schools. The courses are mostly business English and specially designed for business people. Most of the students in the school have working experience. Because I will go back to Taiwan after the study and prepare to enter the workplace, so MeRISE becomes my ideal choice.
之前在大學學習英語時，學校老師比較強調英語的課程教學、作業完成等較接近學業相關的英語，較少有實務應用或是商業上會使用到的英語組織架構教學。
當初在台灣挑選菲律賓語言學校時，因為自己已經有一定的英語基礎能力，比較針對將來進入職場後會用到的英語學習為主。
我發現MeRISE的商用英語教學水準很好，課程有針對商務人士客製化設計的商用英語，校內學生也多是有工作經驗的同學，由於將來回台灣後準備進入職場，因此MeRISE是我最理想的選擇。
MeRISE: How was your study in the Philippines? 在菲律賓學習英語的過程如何？
Shirleen: During my studies at MeRISE, I found that there were many English problems that I didn't notice when I was studying in Taiwan. In the English learning environment, teachers with fairly standard English accents can help me find many ways for improvement.
在MeRISE的學習期間，我發現以往在台灣學習時，有許多不曾注意到的英語問題。在全英文的學習環境中，英語口音相當標準的老師們幫助我找出許多可以改進的地方。
MeRISE: Have you studied English before? 你以前學過英語嗎？
Shirleen: I have four years of experience studying Applied Foreign Languages in college.
之前在大學有過4年的應用外語課程的英語學習經驗。
MeRISE: What has changed yourself compare to before? 這次遊學經驗讓你有什麼樣的改變呢？
Shirleen: Most of the students in MeRISE are Japanese, they all have working experience, and they work hard when they’re studying in Cebu. It motivates me to learn English when I saw Japanese students working very hard on their studies.
MeRISE大部分的學生是日本人，且都有就業經驗，來到宿霧學英語都非常努力把握時間學習。當我看到日本學生對於英語學習如此認真積極，也激勵了我學習英語的動力。
MeRISE: Did you enjoy your weekends in Cebu? 你享受在宿霧的假日期間嗎？
Shirleen: I like the holiday during the time that I staying in Cebu! Especially the Zipline in Bohol I went to and the spectacular view of "Our Lady of Immaculate Concepcion Church" in Oslob, I have many wonderful memories of Cebu.
Cebu’s cuisine is also great, especially the Philippine cuisine at the restaurant “Boosog” near the school is quite delicious, making me fall in love with traditional Filipino cuisine.
On weekday evenings or holidays, sometimes, I go to the gym with my classmates. I'm quite satisfied with the quality and the well-equipped gymnasium.
我非常喜歡在宿霧的休假期間！尤其是之前去參加薄荷島空中飛人體驗(Zipline)，還有參觀位在Oslob、相當壯觀的Our Lady of Immaculate Concepcion Church，讓我對宿霧留下許多美好的回憶。
宿霧的美食也很棒，尤其是學校附近的餐廳”Boosog”的菲律賓菜相當美味，讓我愛上菲律賓的傳統料理。
平日晚上或假日，我偶爾也會和同學們一起去健身房，學校配合的健身房品質很好、設備齊全，讓我相當滿意。
MeRISE: Do you think your English ability has already improved through this study abroad? 你認為這次的國外求學經驗，你的英語能力有進步嗎？
Shirleen: Before coming to MeRISE, I felt that I was not good enough in English pronunciation. After the teacher's teaching, my pronunciation is more accurate.
Although I haven't started to work yet. But it's good that I can learn business English skills in advance and feel that it can help me with my future work.
來到MeRISE之前，覺得自己在英語發音不夠標準，上課後經過老師的教學後，發音能夠更加準確。
雖然目前還沒有開始就業，但能夠提前學到商業英文的技巧，覺得對自己將來工作上有幫助。
MeRISE: How do you keep your English competence in the future? 之後你打算如何維持自己的英語能力呢？
Shirleen: In the future, I may find a job that requires English skill and maintains the habit of using English from my work. It can also continue to improve my English skill.
將來可能會找需要用到英語的工作來維持使用英語習慣，讓自己在英語學習上能夠持續進步。
MeRISE: Do you have any plans after study abroad? 未來還有任何到國外學習的計劃嗎？
Shirleen: After going back to Taiwan, I am ready to find a job. If there is a chance to change jobs or on-the-job training in the future, I still want to come to the Philippines to strengthen my English-speaking ability.
回到台灣後，先準備找工作。未來若有轉職或是在職進修的機會時，會想再到菲律賓強化自己英語能力不足的部分。
MeRISE: Finally, I would like you to leave a message to those who are going to study at MeRISE. 最後，請你對即將來到MeRISE遊學的同學說一些話吧！
Shirleen: If you have a certain level of English, then come to MeRISE to learn business English. It is very helpful for you to enter the workplace in the future. It is highly recommended for students who want to learn business English here.
如果你已經有一定的英語程度，再到MeRISE學習商用英語，對於自己將來進入職場就業相當有幫助，非常推薦給想來這邊學習商用英語的同學。
