Yap-Choo Swi Neo-Su Junjin-The Orientation camp

After a one month’s study, every one of us have accustomed to the language environment of Singapore. But as for life, someone may think that the life is still boring. Considering this, the MOE and the VCF have arranged an activity named the Orientation Camp for us to help us make new friends and adapt to the lifestyle as soon as possible, the preparation of which started half a year before the activity. All of us SM3 NUS students participated in this activity and I found that it is really helpful to us.

First, the Orientation Camp helps us make new friends. We can make friends with the every “befriender”. And with so many enthusiastic “befrienders”, we all feel happy and found it easy to make friends with them, which increased our confidences to make friends with locals. It helps us make new friends not only during the activity, but also after the activity.

Second, the Orientation Camp helps us get more familiar with the university. During the activity, we go to many places inside and outside the campus. And we also use some public facilities, which we may use in our study later. It can also help us get more familiar with the people and the school life in the university, which is much more important.

In all, the Orientation Camp is helpful to us. For me, it helps me make friends not only with the “befrienders” but also with some other SM3 students and known more about the university. They are very important for me. And I believe it is also important for every student who participated in the activity. Anyhow, this is the beginning of our life in Singapore and we should really value this experience.
