The four years study is one of my best experiences in my life. I will always appreciate the training on my mode of thinking beyond the subject knowledge, which helps me construct my own value towards the world. I am also lucky to have all the thoughtful discussions with my academic mentors who guide me to be a junior researcher of Applied Linguistics.
