2011/10/29，我和CIA語言學校的朋友參加了薄荷島兩天一夜的旅遊，我們找了當地的旅行社，我們一行總共20多人，旅行社給我們的價格是2500披索，幾乎包含了所有的項目。

為什麼要來菲律賓讀英文?

一年多前我到澳洲打工度假，從其他台灣背包客口中得知可以到菲律賓學英文，聽到的當下非常震驚，才知道除了美加澳紐等，菲律賓也是一個學英文的管道，從那時候才開始搜尋相關資訊。

CIA語言學校每兩周舉辦一次演講比賽，每次都有不同的演講題目，如果學生對於這個題目感興趣可以自由參加，是一個訓練表達自我的一個好機會。
CIA Language Academy holds speech contest every two weeks. We provide different topic for each contest. The students can join the contest if they are interested in the topic. It’s a good opportunity to express oneself.

2011/10/23，我和CIA語言學校的朋友拜訪了馬坦島(Mactan)的Shangri-La’s度假飯店。馬坦這個小島就在宿霧島(Cebu)的旁邊，兩島由馬坦跨海大橋(Mandaue-Mactan Bridge)連接，而宿霧國際機場就座落於馬坦島上。
I visited Shangri-La’s Resort on Mactan Island with my friends from CIA Language School last Oct. 23th, 2011. Mactan Island is beside Cebu Island, and two islands connect with each other by Mandaue-Mactan Bridge Bridge.

2011/10/22，這是我在宿霧的第一個周末，在來到菲律賓之前對這裡完全沒有概念，很幸運地一群CIA的朋友邀我一起去宿霧市一日遊。
Oct. 10th, 2011, was the first weekend after Iarrived in Cebu. Before coming to Cebu, I didn’t have any idea about this city. Fortunately, some CIA friends invited me to go city tour with them.

之前在菲律賓宿霧的CIA(Cebu International Academy)語言學校就讀英文五個月，整體來說我很滿意在那裡生活及學習，所以我想要分享一點自己的心得。
I studied English in CIA(Cebu International Academy) which located in Cebu, Philippines for five months before. Overall, I am satisfied with my life and study there, so I would like to share some of my opinions.

在澳洲九個月讓我體會到我的英文實在不怎摸樣
我決定提早結束打工度假日子專心學習英文
本來是要繼續留在澳洲讀語言學校

只要在離境的前三十天內
購買AU$300以上的商品
並且在同一張收據內

結束了9個月的打工度假生活
最後一站我來到布里斯本Brisbane
澳洲,後會有期

Moreton Island是澳洲第二大的沙島
最大的沙島Fraser Island我都去過了
何必再去第二大?!
