My journey to China began in 2009 when I decided to study in a university in China. As an international student, I     1     (expose) to a whole new world of culture, language and customs. In addition to learning about my     2     (choose) field, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in Chinese traditions, sample the country’s delicious cuisines and explore the country’s many     3     (history) landmarks and attractions.

After graduation, I stayed in Dongying, Shandong Province,     4     I’ve worked since. I gain a deeper understanding of the local culture and customs. Despite Dongying being a     5     (comparative) new city among others, it has a rich history with a     6     (diverse) of cultures, and there is always something new to learn or explore. Known as an oil city with     7     second largest oilfield in China, it also has avast wetland park, which is a major landmark and attraction to visit.

As an international student and now a professional,     8     (work) away from my homeland, I have plenty of opportunities here in Dongying. Life and work in China can be a unique and fulfilling experience for those who are willing to embrace the challenges and lose     9     (they) in the culture. As I continue to grow, I would sum up     10     saying I’m very fortunate to learn, experience, contribute to and share this unique place that I’ve decided to live and work in.
