自學的不同
文：雲林縣維多利亞中學 許又云 自學的不同
首先想要感謝四健會舉辦這麼有意義的跨國交流，讓我在過程中充滿收穫，不只拓展交友圈，多結識⼀位如此善良、開朗的朋友-Winter，更是在交流過程中認識許多跨國⽂化特⾊，開展國際視野。我的筆友Winter 是⼀位落落⼤⽅、侃侃⽽談的優秀青年，當初的我剛接觸這活動時，對國際筆友交流有著莫名的緊張感，擔⼼自⼰無法流暢地以英⽂與筆友交流，更擔⼼無法推廣許多台灣值得分享的地⽅特⾊。當我寄出第⼀封郵件，並收到回覆時，不安的感受全數消失。很幸運地，Winter 與我在第⼀次交流時，便毫無⽣澀之感，我們之間的破冰異常順利，各自介紹自⼰的興趣與愛好，我也間接發現彼此的興趣非常相似，以⾄於後續的交流非常愉快。活動過程中也頻繁地互相傳送Email 以分享彼此的⽣活日常，與自⼰家鄉的⽂化特⾊。

首次交流在過農曆年時節，我便與Winter 分享身為華⼈，如何慶祝充滿紅⾊喜慶氣氛活動，她隨後也表示對華⼈⽂化特⾊非常的有興趣，我又多補充幾點特⾊。她隨後也與我分享那段期間慶祝Black History and Black culture 的趣事。整個交流過程中，最令我驚訝與收穫豐富的⼀次，便是我與Winter 分享台灣升學制度與我未來所嚮往的科系與職業時，她給我的回覆；Winter 與我提到她是自學⽣，平日待在四健會裡學習考試所需的課程、並在課餘參加多種活動，我頓時覺得非常好奇與驚訝，自⼰的交友圈裡從來沒有「在家自學」的學⽣，不免讓我由衷地充滿強烈的求知慾望，想知道她的讀書⽅式、時間規劃與分配、最重要的—她的想法如何？她提到很多⼈似乎都認為自學⽣的自我管理能⼒非常好，但她也是經過長時間努⼒才得以放下⼿機，學習自律。這次交流過程，讓我想到台灣實驗教育實施多年，很少親自聽見自學⽣分享學習歷程，經過這次寶貴的經驗讓我更明白自學的意義，滿載收穫。
First of all, I would like to thank the Four Health (4-H) Club for holding such a meaningful transnational exchange activity, so that I can be full of gains in the process, not only to expand the circle of friends, meet such a kind and cheerful friend, Winter, but also to recognize many transnational cultural characteristics in the process of exchanges, and to develop an international perspective. My pen pal, Winter, is a generous and talkative young girl, when I first met this activity, I had an inexplicable sense of tension and was nervous about international pen pal exchanges, worried that I could not communicate with my pen pals fluently in English, and worried about not being able to promote many local features of Taiwan that are worth sharing.

When I sent my first email and received a reply, the feeling of uneasiness was all gone. Fortunately, Winter and I did not feel jerky at all when we first communicated by sending the email to each other, the icebreaking between us was unusually smooth, we first did the introduction about our own interests and hobbies, and I also indirectly found that our interests were very similar, so that the subsequent exchange was very

Due to the first exchange during the Lunar New Year, so I planned to share with Winter how to celebrate the traditional festive as a Chinese person, like putting up spring couplets, enjoying the reunion dinner, Giving, or receiving red envelopes, setting off firecrackers and fireworks, and offering sacrifices to Gods and ancestors. . .etc. After that, she later expressed great interest in the characteristics of Chinese culture. She later shared with me anecdotes about celebrating Black History and Black culture during that time.One of the most surprising and rewarding things for me during the whole exchange activity was that the email which Winter reply to me when I shared with her the Taiwanese education system and the departments and careers I aspired to in the future.

Winter mentioned to me that she was a homeschooling-student, and she would stay in the Four Health Club on weekdays to study the courses required for the exams, and participating in various activities after class, I was immediately very curious and surprised about that, because I had never known people who is homeschooling at home in my dating circle until I met Winter. Students, inevitably filled with a strong desire to learn, want to know her reading style, time planning and distribution, and most importantly- what is her idea? She mentioned that many people seem to think that self-management ability of self-students is very good, but it took a long time of hard work to put down her mobile phone and learn self-discipline. This exchange process made me think of the implementation of experimental education in Taiwan for many years, and I have rarely heard students share the learning process in person, and after this valuable experience, I understood the meaning of self-study more and was full of gains.
