"My First Interface to Foreign"

            Saturday, it was January 7, 2012. I started my day with a hot morning and a little bit nervous in my heart when our instructor gives us a task on that day. At first I really felt nervous since it was my first time to be with foreign presents. I don’t know what to say first to start our conversation. I was afraid to speak at first because I thought they were all fluent in English. But then they’re not. At the middle of our conversation all the fears and nervous I felt inside had gone. All the doubts in my mind was vanished when he keeps talking about his identity.
            He was Yu Ji Woong , in English “Eric”, a Korean student who visit in the Philippines to study English here at CTU main campus. He was 23 years old, still single and was born on December 2, 1988. He studied at Chong Yang College which was located at South Korea and taking up Civil Engineering. It was his 3rd time here in the Philippines, the first time he went here was for vacation only.
            Eric loves swimming, playing online games, and watching movies. His favorite actress in Korean movie was Kim Tae Hee, I don’t know what was that in English he didn’t translate it. He has also fun in foods especially chicken that was his favorite.
            He also told us about his family, he have 3 brothers. His elder brother was studying at Manila, his mother was a plain housewife and I don’t know about his father because he didn’t say anything about him.
            I found out that chatting with different cultures was not so easy especially those people who begin to learn English. And I appreciate them all because they are eager to learned English no matter how hard it was for them.
