Level band 3 · High Intermediate (B2)What I Learned About Learning
In Thailand, I rarely questioned my teachers. Here, students are expected to ideas, even those of their professors. At first I found this approach ; it felt almost rude. Gradually I realised that respectful disagreement is a part of learning.
I also had to learn how to my sources correctly, because using other people’s words without credit is treated as plagiarism. My essays improved once I learned to my main argument clearly in the first paragraph. These skills have made me more as a thinker and a writer.
Scene 4 · A Speech to New Scholarship Students
Level band 4 · Advanced (C1)Years later, Kan returned to her university to welcome new scholarship students from Southeast Asia.
“Studying abroad is often portrayed as a of privilege. Yet its true value lies in learning to unfamiliar perspectives without abandoning your own. Intercultural competence is not ; it is cultivated slowly, through discomfort and reflection.
We must resist the tendency to other cultures to simple stereotypes. Such generalisations may seem harmless, but they misunderstanding and, at worst, hostility. My hope is that you return home not with certainty about the world, but with deeper curiosity about it.”
