Students from three different campuses of the CUK are participating in our winter GEO Program. There is only one student from the Nursing school of CUK, so I interviewed her.
Journalist(J) : Hi. My name is Woo-in Lee and I'm a journalist of the GEO Press Club. I'd like to interview you about the GEO program so I want to ask you some questions. Before we start, could you introduce yourself briefly?
Student(S) : Sure. My name is Eun-hye Kim and my major is nursing. I'm a freshman in Songeui campus. Nice to meet you.
J : Nice to meet you, too! So, why do you paticipate in the GEO Program?
S : I'm here to study English of course, especially conversation. Actually on our campus, there are only two English classes per year. We have English classes only for 2 and a half hours per week so time for studying English is not enough. Besides professors don't care about students' english speaking skills. So I want to get a chance to speak English and I need to improve my speaking skills because I want to be a graduate school student in US. That is why I am here. And not only for studying English but also for meeting many students and making new friends. I think the unification of students from the three different Universities is one of the most important goals of the GEO program.
J : Wow! Then how was it so far? I mean, today is a third day of the GEO program so what is your impression of the program so far?
S : Actually, I'm not that good at speaking English but I'm in level 5. So I have to "survive" in this class and I have to catch up with the other students so it's a little tough for me. But in the GEO program, there are many club activities, class drama and a talent show so I can get a lot of experience from them. And the impression of this program is that I have to speak English all the time so it's a little bit of pressure on me. However I believe this month can be a very important month to me! I honestly think it can improve my English skills and I'm really looking forward to it.
J : Before this winter camp, there was a summer camp and a fall semester camp. Is this your first time to participate in this program?
S : Actually this is the second time to participate. Before this, I've already did the summer GEO camp.
J : Then, is there some differences between them?
S : Sure! In my case, my English improved a lot! I was a level 3 intermediate student, but now I am in level 5. Not that good but anyway I think my English skills genuinely improved. In the summer camp, I couldn't speak English well like now. But I got used to speak in English and now I have more confidence!I think speaking English for more than 8 hours a day is really helpful for me.
J : I see. So is there anything else you want to say?
S : Um, I think this program is not only for learning English but also for improving myself, especially confidence. And I hope this program will be a good opportunity to make friends!
J : I see. Thank you so much for the interview.
S : Thank you.
