ALP is an Amercian Language Programmar. There are many different nationaities students attend ALP to learn English. In fact, I need get a high score in IBT test, so that's why I need take IBT class too. My first impression to ALP that they need so expensive school free and books. to be honest, I haven't any good feeling to ALP at first. However, after i studyed at ALP for 8 months, I have so strongly feeling to ALP now.

.

Actually, I took a English summer course at 3 years ago at San Diego. There was a privite school.The school was small and haven't got enough teaching mechine. I felt a little bit disappointed at that time. In fact, when my uncle introduced ALP language to me, I didn't have too much expectation to ALP too, but my uncle said he has some friends' children were studying there before and they through ALP could help them to improve English. Also, I know ALP takes place at Cal' State Fullerton university, students can use many university facilities and join their activities. It is different from those privite English schools. Then I decided studying at ALP.

.
When I first day in ALP, I meet many different nationalities students, they speak different language with me. As because I am not an independent student , so I felt quite nervious at that time because there was hard to find a student who was from Hong Kong. However, on the other hand, it's also good for me to learn English. I have to speak English with my classmates because we speak different languages. Moreover, I felt so scared about my English level. I really worry about if I could not do my homework well or could not understand professors talking about. At that moment, because I need walk a long way to go to school alone,also I have no friends in the ALP and I didn't know any professors in ALP, so I have some regret to study in ALP before, but I also knew that I need overcome it by myself. I could not make my parents felt disappointed to me.

.

However, when the times go by, I knew many classmates in ALP and we became a really good friends. Also, I found that ALP professors are so helpful and nice to students. They all know how to teach English to improve our English. In addition, we can use many university facilities in the school even though we are not the regular students. Therefore, it's seem no different to the other Amercian students to study at Cal' State Fullerton. This is a good experience for whom wants to enter the university. Furthermore, although the school free is so expensive, ALP provides many different kinds of indoor or outdoor activities to students. For me, my favourite activitie is the school trip, I can go tripping with whole ALP classmates. I think ALP is not only a place to help me improve English, but also to help me making many different kinds of friends.

.

Even though I have many confuse to ALP before. However, after I studied there for 8 months, I found that I really enjoy ALP life now. In ALP, I meet many excellent professors and students and we can be good friends. Also, I can improve my English speaking skills and writing skills in ALP. I think ALP really can help me to build up my English. Therefore, when I went back Hong Kong to visit my family during last break time, I introduced ALP language programmar to my friends. They agreed that I could learn many useful things in ALP. They though I have more confident to speak English in front of people than before. As a result, studying in AlP is a good experience to me . Even though the day I need go back to Hong Kong, I won't forget ALP . As last, I have to say "Thank You"to ALP because it has changed my life.
