Intesive English Seminar July 30 – August 5

I learned different types of writing everyday, and now I can use them properly for different purposes. Thanks to the teachers who taught me kindly and gave me good advice, I learned many things.

Even for a student like me, who does not have a good command of spoken English at all, the Harvard students interesting and innovative teaching method was not only easy to understand bun also highly captivating. They were real masters in lecturing and giving presentations, which were absolutely thought-provoking and engaging. I am more than glad to have been part of this class.

Thanks to the teacher’s’ advice, I was able to challenge myself to write different types of sentences and ultimately my own essay. During our final presentations, I took part in a debate involving cooperation closely with my teammates to come up with a lot of strategies.

Everyone made the scripts together and we were able to develop our English vocabulary.

In this seminar, block construction was offered as an exciting hands-on study method. I really enjoyed it, and it will be useful for my programming in the future. With a myriad of programming languages being involved, this method will be a solid foundation for me.
