Give up ten years of state-owned enterprise service. Older girls with zero basic English study in New Zealand.

Christchurch is located on the east coast of South Island, New Zealand, with a population of 340,000. It is the third largest city in New Zealand and the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand. So how can we successfully apply to the university here? Let me tell you something.

Duration of study: one year.

Christchurch is full of British flavor everywhere, and it is the most British city outside Britain. The quiet Avon River winds through the city, and the scene of flowers and lush vegetation on both sides has won the reputation of "Garden City".

This city, which has been hit by earthquakes many times, has a strong religious meaning. People think that everything is arranged by God-God thinks that people here are too idle, so they use earthquakes to unite citizens and temper the will of Christchurch people.

Most of the important urban reconstruction projects use local people as the main labor force, which is not the kind of xenophobia we understand, but a belief demand and a way of obeying God's arrangement.

People carefully plan and carefully rebuild brand-new homes with bricks and tiles. Their progress is extremely slow, but they are in no hurry.

Fortunately, apart from the ruins in the city, the earthquake did little harm to ordinary people. After the earthquake, the government, entrepreneurs and insurance companies have become the most solid backing for everyone. The deepest traces left by the earthquake may be those ancient and beautiful buildings that collapsed.

At eight o'clock that night, I saw Sang Ni. She just came out of the fast food restaurant where she works. I waited for her outside for nearly half an hour. After she came out, she apologized again and again. We walked side by side aimlessly, in the early autumn night, the stars and the moon were misty.

Qing Qing said that she worked in a central enterprise as soon as she graduated. She is from Tianjin, working from nine to five, with a monthly salary of 20 thousand. She wants to buy a lv, and she wants to travel abroad. She has never been to other provinces and cities except for traveling. Every day she goes round and round, and her annual holiday is to travel around the world.

Such girls have become an alternative in the circle of colleagues and friends. She resolutely put down the iron rice bowl of domestic central enterprises for nearly ten years and chose to go to New Zealand as an older international student, serving dishes and washing dishes in the restaurant.

"I never work at home in China. I can't even wash dishes. I work here. Sometimes I wash dishes until late at night ... I dare not tell my parents that they will be sad ..."

After all, at that time, Qingqing's parents didn't want her to give up her stable job in China and study abroad. She has worked hard for this.

Before coming, Qingqing took her parents on a trip to New Zealand. "Because my parents have traveled with me before, I have also seen some foreign environments and humanities. I still support going abroad, but I am reluctant to give up the work of central enterprises. "

However, when you think about it, the biggest abandonment is actually this job. Sunny, who travels abroad every holiday, especially looks forward to a different lifestyle and life after visiting many countries.

Qing Qing said that this touched her the most and strengthened her will to go abroad. Once she and her mother went to America to play, which was the second time. At the airport, she saw a cleaner singing happily while sweeping the floor-"I was deeply moved at that time and thought this scene was incredible in China!"

Fortunately, there is nothing to hide when making a choice. After all, there is no such problem as children's education, and the deposit is enough to support tuition and living expenses.

Several other countries have higher requirements, and the threshold is slightly lower than that of New Zealand, so Qingqing chose New Zealand.

It's hard to work in a restaurant while studying language courses, but I have accumulated a lot of life experience and earned some pocket money.

Qingqing is studying language courses in Napier. The restaurant where she works is a famous Chinese restaurant.

"The boss chef is very kind to me. Every day, the chef will ask me what I want to eat and cook it for me. Other employees joked that the quality of food declined after I left my job! "

Although I worked hard, I was still very happy. Qing Qing feels that accumulating more work experience during my study will help me find a job in the future. After all, domestic experience does not apply here, and everything starts from scratch. "A classmate joked that sweeping the floor in New Zealand requires experience."

"For a girl like me who has never been exposed to spring water before, the biggest change is actually the mentality."

Because Qingqing chose business, she will still be a manager after emigration, so it will definitely be helpful for her employment to work in restaurants or some companies from now on and understand the overall operation.

"Compared with domestic enterprises, these enterprises in New Zealand are much simpler in structure and interpersonal relationships. Business is not bad for employment, but it is difficult to get recognition. After all, there are requirements for positions, but now that we are here, the current policy is no longer short-term immigration as in previous years. If you have this idea, don't come to New Zealand. "

Sunny paused. At this time, she was wearing a white shirt and was soaked by the moonlight. She looked up at my eyes and continued: "Take root here, enjoy this quiet and down-to-earth job, and everyone can get what they want."

I quite agree with what Sang Ni said. The information on which the Immigration Bureau's New Deal is based is indeed:

Studying abroad is no longer a shortcut for those who are eager to gain status in two or three years. The current policy is aimed at those who really want to work, live and make contributions in New Zealand for a long time.

And if you choose a major, you should know that you can immigrate to preschool education according to your actual situation. However, if your English foundation is zero, you can't achieve it in a short time, and there is no need to spend two or three years learning English for this, because there is no immigration major, and you can immigrate with a good major. "

"ah? English basic zero? "

"Yes, I have a basic zero foundation in English at home, ABC level. After studying language courses in New Zealand for half a year, I finally got 6 points in IELTS. Although it is not very good, it is much better than before! "

"Don't you teach yourself or enroll in classes at home?"

"Yes, I feel that I can't learn the environment in China. I didn't know until I came out. "

I immediately thought of another child. I saw him show the alphabet in a circle of friends when he first landed in New Zealand. After half a year, his IELTS score was 5.5.

Qing Qing said that in order to force herself to learn a language, she chose a small city to study a language course instead of Auckland.

"Don't you regret choosing to study abroad?"

"Ha ha, when I was in China, I was impetuous every day, Taobao every day, and it was uncomfortable not to express every day. Run around the world on holiday and buy luxury goods. When I arrived in New Zealand, my mentality was more peaceful and my online shopping addiction was quit! "

Now Sunny can fully enjoy life and enjoy the peace. She even felt that no matter how rich she was in China, she couldn't be at peace.

"Compared with cars, houses and luxury goods, I don't think I can adapt to domestic life yet. I think this life is the essence. Sometimes I complain that I am bored and have nothing to buy, but think about it. This should be life, and other prosperity should be condiments. "

"Among the students at school, do you want to stay or return to China?"

"Many language classes are junior college students in China. They are still young, have not considered immigration, and have no clear goal of staying or returning to China. I think it's really people like us who have certain work and social experience. Only in this way can they know what they want to come to New Zealand for. "

"What do domestic friends think of you?"

"Haha, I feel rich and willful!" Sunny smiled and narrowed her shining eyes.

"Ha ha ha ha" I also can't help laughing.

"You know what? When they gave me a handsome year-end bonus, I was desperately washing dishes! But this bitterness will not make me shrink back and will not make me want to go back. "

"How many of them because you want to study abroad? Have you influenced them? "

"I think they envy my courage on the one hand, although I don't think I am a courageous person. On the other hand, they are unwilling to give up what they have in China for various reasons. "

"In fact, you have a lot of courage. You beat 98% of the people. "

"I don't think I've lost anything. Actually, I work in a central enterprise. My home, parents and house are still there, but I have gained a lot ... "

"Yes, your life is rich and colorful."

"And I don't think getting public relations is the end. I really want to do what I am good at, buy a house in New Zealand, have a home and enjoy the sunshine and tranquility here. This is the life I want most. "

Qing Qing said that she hasn't decided which city to live in. She likes Christchurch and Napier, but the environment in New Zealand is so livable that China people can at least buy a nice house here as long as they sell their domestic properties. She is full of longing for the future.

"I am a peaceful person, and I believe it will come naturally." Qing Qing believes that mentality is the key to successful immigration.

"This kind of mentality is the easiest to immigrate successfully. After the anxiety comes out, either give up or return to China. " I agree.

"In fact, I am a very inferior person."

"How?" I exclaimed.

"Because my English is not good, I feel quite inferior, but this can only be done slowly."

Qing Qing, who has just taken a professional course in Christchurch, works in a fast food restaurant, but the manager says she is "not qualified" for the job.

Qing Qing admitted that she was so unhappy that she couldn't even order food? But when you think about it, it's really bad English. All the people who come to the store for dinner are kiwis (New Zealanders). Sometimes guests don't respond correctly the first time they order. "But take your time and don't lose heart." Sunny said.

"Maybe it's work. I am a person with strong learning ability. English is the biggest obstacle, but learning English takes time, and it will not happen overnight. "

"Eight months IELTS 6 points, starting from scratch, you are very powerful!"

"Who dared to talk about me before? Haha, our department manager wants to see my face, so he has to humble himself here, but there is no way. We must do this from the beginning. If we survive, we will be invincible. "

"You are invincible!"
