Why I love GEO? - Part 3

G·E·O stands for the Global English Outreach Program of the Catholic University of Korea. GEO is quite unique because it gives me the opportunity to meet new friends and people and these people in turn helps me in my ability to communicate in English. It's not a waste of time, it's an avenue to experience the world in another way: the English way experience.

After attending the G·E·O program, I gained a lot of Foreign friends. In particular, I met Noor. She is from Iraq, and is an exchange student in C·U·K. She is a very kind girl and I found her interesting. Another friend I gained because of this program is Anna Marie. Anna on the other hand comes from Mongolia and she chose to pursue her college education here in Korea. Interestingly, I got all these information by talking to them in English which I found fun!

G·E·O program did so much good for my English conversation skill. Before attending G·E·O, I was very afraid to meet foreigners. Now however, I am quite excited to meet them because we could be friends. Though my English is not that great yet, this time however, I feel very comfortable using the English language.

After attending so many G·E·O social activities like Colloquiums, Cheese & Wine parties and a Halloween party, I started enjoying social activities. I LOVE G·E·O! It's a nice program, and it gives me many chances to improve my skill and my personality. I really enjoyed G·E·O! I encourage you to join this wonderful program too.
