Studying abroad has become popular in China in recent years. The US, the UK, Canada and Australia are among the most popular countries for Chinese students. However, I'm in Kenya.
When I was fifteen years old, I came to Kenya and began to study at Hillerest Secondary School, a British-patterned international school. I still remember my first day at Hillerest. Everything was different from my life in Beijing. I was quite surprised by the size of Hillerest. And the school was full of different kinds of African plants. The lovely environment attracted(吸引) not, only international students but also wildlife like monkeys.
However, it wasn't just about enjoying the beauty of nature. Although my English was better than that of most Chinese students at that time, learning in a completely different environment wasn't easy. I remember how upset 1 felt about my first lesson at Hillerest. It was chemistry. During the whole class, I couldn't understand anything on the PPT or in the textbook.
I'm lucky enough to study in a friendly environment, but the challenges I've faced in Kenya haven't been only about schoolwork. ____▲____ Anyway, I am sure that I can solve these problems one by one. And I will always treasure my lovely school memories for the rest of my life.
