Extra credit project for international students QU HONGYU

I take English courses, learn wiki technology and experience adapting to life in Korea As an international student, the experience of studying in Korea is challenging, accompanied by growth and gain. 1. Experience in English classes at Korean universities First of all, studying English in Korean universities is different from studying English in China. We need to have more knowledge of English to help us understand what the course presents in the course. In addition, the professors are very patient and often encourage international students to ask questions and engage in interaction, which can actively mobilize the atmosphere of the classroom and make the classroom more interactive. 2.Adapting to life in Korea It's still easy to adapt to Korean life, and it may be because of language reasons when I first came, but I feel that life in Korea is similar to life in China after a long time. We can enjoy studying abroad more in our spare time, we can go to the coffee shop with friends t...

China and globalization The relationship between China and globalization is a complex one that influences and shapes each other. Is Globalization Good for China? Economic growth and development Globalization plays a vital role in China's economic development. Since its reform and opening-up in 1978, China has rapidly emerged as the world's second-largest economy by integrating into global markets. The accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001 further accelerated this process, allowing China to: Become the core of the global supply chain, the status of the "world factory" is established. Help hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and form a growing middle class. Promote the modernization of technology and industry through foreign capital and technology transfer. Cultural Exchange and Modernization Globalization has introduced new ideas, lifestyles and technologies into China and has driven the process of modernization. Urbanization, the rise of co...

Extra credit project for international students - LIUZIYE

  * Experiences in an English-Language Class at a Korean University To be honest, one of the main reasons I chose to study in Korea was because my English was poor. Although China is not an English-speaking country, English has been a mandatory subject since elementary school. Parents have very high expectations for English and often hope that their children can speak it as fluently as their native language. As a result, under constant pressure from exams and assignments, I gradually developed a sense of aversion and fear toward English, to the point where now, whenever I see English, I instinctively want to avoid it. I originally came to Korea with the mindset that I could finally escape English, but I found out that I would still need to use it here. At first, I was really worried about not being able to understand and was afraid I wouldn't be able to express myself clearly. The pressure increased when I learned that I would have to give my opinions in English for this course. Ho...

 China's relationship with globalization is both complex and profound, filled with opportunities and accompanied by challenges. From economic, cultural, technological, and political perspectives, China has made significant progress in the globalization process but still faces numerous challenges. Since the reform and opening-up, China has successfully integrated into the global market and gradually developed into the world’s manufacturing hub. After joining the WTO, China’s imports and exports surged, especially in fields like electronics, textiles, and machinery, which drove rapid economic growth. At the same time, China has continuously upgraded its industries in the process of globalization, transitioning from low-value-added labor-intensive products to high-tech, high-value-added industries. Innovation areas such as smartphones, e-commerce, and new energy represent the market opportunities and innovation dynamics brought by globalization. China’s rapid transformation can be a...

Blog4:What is the relation between economy and globalization? — LIUZIYE

  I believe that the most important components of the economy and globalization are trade and investment. Trade is one of the most significant manifestations of globalization. By lowering tariffs and eliminating barriers, it promotes the free flow of goods and services. International trade enhances global division of labor, leading to more efficient resource utilization. Countries begin to focus on producing goods they are most skilled at. For example, developing countries rely on cheap labor for labor-intensive industries, while developed countries focus on high-tech industries and services, which improves global economic efficiency. This division of labor not only optimizes resource allocation but also drives the formation of global supply chains. Modern manufacturing depends on global supply chains; a smartphone, for instance, may be made up of components from multiple countries. The cross-border cooperation lowers production costs and promotes the spread of technology. For deve...

  Is globalization good for China? Globalization will benefit China. In 2024, China proposed a global initiative to establish a new framework in its relations with the world as a major power. The 2024 diplomatic initiative prominently showcased a global vision and plan that emphasizes its identity as a major power. The global vision proposed by China focuses on promoting "multipolarity of the world" and "economic globalization." This economic globalization can achieve trade and investment liberalization, strengthen solidarity with other countries to expand its influence in the international community, and accelerate economic growth. Economic growth can improve the living standards and education levels of Chinese citizens, ultimately liberating them from poverty. Is China good for globalization? China advocates for an inclusive and open economic globalization, aiming to reshape the existing U.S.-centric international order. Analysts suggest that China’s stance on eco...

extra credit :Adjusting to Life in Korea WANGRUITONG

Arriving in South Korea, everything felt both fresh and unfamiliar. From the bustling streets of Seoul to the quiet alleys of small towns, every corner exuded a unique charm. However, as a newcomer, I also faced many challenges and needed to gradually adapt to this entirely new living environment. Although I had previously learned some basic Korean, I quickly realized upon arrival that my level was far from sufficient. To adjust as quickly as possible, I enrolled in a Korean language class, dedicating my days to lessons and practicing speaking and listening skills. I also downloaded Korean learning apps to study during spare moments. Gradually, I began to communicate in simple Korean for daily conversations, which made me feel both excited and proud. Korean cuisine is also exceptionally unique. Initially, I found it difficult to adapt to dishes like kimchi and Korean barbecue, but over time, I grew to love these delicious foods. I even learned how to make simple kimchi and bibimbap, wh...
