Last Thursday was a big day for us, because we went to Studio Classroom, the most prestigious English magazine publisher in Taiwan. We second graders in Lishan choose Studio Classroom magazine for extensive reading. Because of this, we were excited to have an access to the inner of Studio Classroom. When we arrived at our destination, a kind young lady was already there waiting for us. She was Ms. Chang, our host from the department of PR. During the whole trip, she accompanied us and showed us around with patience and sweet voice.
At the beginning, we watched a brief video which introduced the achievements of Studio Classroom in the past 45 years. We learned about not only its history but the vision for future as well. We were all stunned by the age of Studio Classroom. It must have taken a lot of perseverance, dedication, and most of all, the enthusiasm in the education of English. We then had a Q&A game with questions based on the video clip; however, it’s a pity that I was too shy to answer the questions.
Finishing the introduction, we began our adventure in Studio Classroom! First, we went to the studio of films, finding that they were making a short interesting video about mustard. I thought it was an example of the magic of Studio Classroom—they devoted themselves to the teaching of English through many innovative ways, which indeed makes learning English easy and fun. We took a picture with Hazel, Cambell and Scott, three teachers in SC, with a virtual background. It’s such an unforgettable memory! I’ve never thought of taking pictures with teachers in the everyday program I watched. After the amazing experience, we also visited the recording studio and editing room. I was completely impressed by the Hi-Tec equipment. In the end, we took part in the activities with two other teachers, Liz and Steven. They were fun and enthusiastic, and gave our field trip a happy ending.
The field trip not only left us a good memory but also exposed us to a joyful environment of learning English. Knowing how our magazine is produced, I appreciated a lot for their contribution to Taiwan’s English learning from the bottom of my heart. Needless to say, Studio Classroom is our friend of life!!
