Three years have passed since I returned from Singapore in 1997.But the wonderful life I had there still lingers in my mind．

　　When I stepped out of high school，my parents decided to sent me to Singapore to study. They chose the lion city because they thought it was safe and the people well-educated．Most importantly，people in this English-speaking land can also speak Chinese.

　　They were right. Getting a tourist visa(签证),I flew to the land I longed for. When FiFi，my father's friend，took me home from the airport，I found the lights were so splendid outside，there were tropical trees and plants at each side of the airport express.

　　But fascination(迷惑)was quickly replaced by nervousness in this English-speaking land．I can still very clearly remember the first day I stepped into the classroom. The easy-going foreign teacher welcomed me and introduced me to his class. But I couldn't understand most of his speech, nor the questions he asked me. I felt quite embarrassed(尴尬).

　　So I decided to work hard to catch up. So I found my own chances to learn after class--listening to the special BBC English programme every night, watching two English movies each weekend or going to church to listen to English services.

　　Nine months later when my English was good enough to communicate., Life there was fun. My schoolmates came from various countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, Germany and Thailand．Though the only language we could all communicate in was English, we became good friends.

　　Now as a student at the University of International Business and Economics, I have benefited greatly from my experience studying in Singapore. It has made me more independent and confident.
