> 不過都想練好 d 英文 , 多 d 發展空間

同意。

在香港，若能練好一些基本的written English，去海外該不是太大
問題。反而英語會話（spoken English）真的要身歷其中（即身在海外）
才能有機會學得比較好。有些原素要在海外才會遇到（口音、俗語等）。

英文會話系要時間去浸的。不過若能練好聽英文這部分，會話該不是問題。
當然放膽去同老外講英文是好重要。

現在開始強迫自己看英文報紙，睇英文台，專選看西片或用英文配音的動畫
片，甚至看DVD時只用英文subtitles。讓你耳朵去習慣聽英文，因為老外們
是可以講得很快。不作些練習你是跟不上和理解其說話。不用逐個字明，大
體上知道其意就已不錯。再練下written English，去海外時你會較快適應。

As a Sheridan's alumi, I didn't know how many people apply every year. But only 30 people got enrolled in my computer animation class in my year. (today is around 120). I don't think people work like crazy, I'd say most student work very hard because we love what we were doing. (of course not everyone, that why they were fall behind). I worked 7 days a week with 15 hrs+ everyday at Sheridan. I think it was worth to work hard on my portfolio/demo reel that finally rewarded me a job in animation industry. As far as I know, about 70% students in my class got a job in CG industry, 30% are doing something else after school

I don't think 靈格Y will work. They need your money...

Learning a language needs a lot of practice.

If you really want to improve your English, all you have to do is change your life style.
Everyday, listen English radio, watch TV series like Friends..., watch movies without chinese subtitles (with english subtitles will help too)... do it everyday until you understand English without translate to Chinese in your brain. That was my experience to improve my listening.

英語會話 maybe a problem when u in HK. Conversation with foreigners is better. If u can't find English speaker's friends, it's not a bad idea keep speaking english whatever u have chance.

I didn't write a lot in school, so far I wrote 1 long essay for class. That's it.

Good luck and don't give up. Future is in your hands.
BTW, I want to share a book with u
書名: Good Luck--當幸運來敲門

very agree with this :

" all you have to do is change your life style "

I agree with Timmy...
i think choose to study at sheridan is the best decision i've ever made in my life....

it's really tough....i have less free time than any of my friends in university......i can only affort 3 to 4 hours sleep every night....sometimes you have to work overnight at the studio......

but other than that it's really fun......you'll get to meet and work with a lot of great artist......


p.s. i looked at some graduation film from last year.....honestly some of them are terrible.....you can tell they didn't put much effort on their film......and this explain why the 30% of the graduates can't get a job in the field...........''''
