上集我們聊到了Emily是怎麼從台灣的大學申請到美國當一年的交換學生

以及在寄宿家庭跟轟爸轟媽的生活體驗

下集接續一路上發生的各種插曲跟意外，在收聽的最後也會給大家實質上的建議及參考方向

如果是已經遊學過的朋友們，也不妨一起回味在美國時的酸甜苦辣吧！

In the previous episode, we discussed how Emily applied for the exchange student program to the U.S. from her University/College in Taiwan, and her experience of staying with a homestay family.  

In this episode 17, we will continue with the stories of what happened to Emily along her journey in the states. She will also provide some suggestions at the end of this episode. 

If you have already participated in an exchange program, let’s throwback together with us!

相信很多想出國體驗美國大學生活的人，其實除了留學以外，還有另一個可以選擇的方向～ “交換學生”

我們偶爾甚至會覺得，當交換學生課業壓力會比留學生還低，但卻一樣可以好好學習外國文化，創造一輩子都忘不了的回憶 

今天海歸Pie邀請到有機會申請在美國交換學生的Emily，來跟我們做分享! 這次採訪了從最開始的申請一直到中途發生的「意外」到最後的感想

廢話不多說。趕快聽起來！

If you are planning to gain experience and culture in the U.S., there is another choice besides studying abroad --- Applying for an exchange student program through your college in Taiwan.

There are actually a lot of benefits if you do an exchange program. You get to pay less tuition than the rest of the international students since it is only for a short-term period. But you still gain the opportunity to learn all the foreign cultures and have a lifetime memory.  

In this episode, we have invited Emily, who has been an exchange student in Oregon, to share with us her story! This interview covers the process of applying to the program and some "accidents" that happened to Emily along the way. 

Let's find out what happened to her!

上一集我們聊到在美國如何考駕照以及各州的駕照其實都長得都不一樣
拿到駕照後當然就要開始上路啦！在美國開車上路又是另一個故事了
到底跟台灣的交通法規有哪些差異呢？行車安全上又有哪些是需要注意的呢？
趕快再次戴上耳機回到我們的故事裡吧！

In the last episode, we talked about how we applied for our driver's licenses. In this episode, we will continue with the stories of driving in the states. 

Let's see what are the differences between the traffic laws in Taiwan? 
What are the safety issues you have to pay attention to? 

Let's put on your headphones again and get back to our story!

到美國開車前當然是要拿到合法駕照 不過在取得駕照的過程中 難免會發生一些小故事
Yvonne從華盛頓州換到奧勒岡州 Tiffany考了三次路考才過

許許多多的細節跟在台灣開車的體驗都不太一樣

這集分享了蠻多在當地開車需要注意的事項 趕快戴上耳機聽起來吧！

We both have our driver’s licenses to drive in the U.S., and there are many stories before we actually are able to drive on the road. Let us share some of our little stories with you about how we got our license.  

->Yvonne tried the written tests both in Washington State and Oregon State. 

->It took Tiffany three times to pass the road test. 

It is so different to drive by comparing in Taiwan and in the U.S., so let's put on your headphones and start listening! 

人活著難免會有身體比較脆弱的時候，或是不小心遇到重大疾病跟事故

來到美國才發現台灣健保的好，因為一不小心就會因為看醫生而噴了鉅額

這集要來一一翻開那些可怕的回憶 究竟在美國的學校 保險到底能cover多少呢？

There will be inevitably times in our lives when we are weak. There are also times when we accidentally encounter some serious injuries or illnesses.

We started to appreciate the health insurance in Taiwan when we first saw a doctor in the U.S. If you are not careful enough, you will have to pay a huge amount of money. 

What we're going to talk about in this episode. It's to see how much school insurance cover in the United States!

活到老，學到老。你有沒有想過繼續攻讀博士學位呢? 大部分的人在大學或研究所畢業之後，都會直接開始工作，但有些人在工作一段時間後，或尚未步入社會前，會選擇在自己有興趣的領域做更多的鑽研。

這集來聽聽在美國東岸讀博的Ching，是怎麼繼續他的求學生涯吧！

It is never too old to learn. Have you thought about continuing your education path to Ph.D.? Some people decide to work right after they either graduate with a bachelor’s or master's degree to start having an income, however, some of them would like to do more research regarding their interests of major or a specific goal. 

If you are in the process of deciding your next step, let’s listen to our chat with Ching about his Ph.D. life.

美國的感恩節在每年11月的最後一個禮拜四，相當於聖誕節之外最最重要的節日。大家會跟朋友家人聚在一起準備感恩節餐，也會一起看美式足球比賽或是玩桌遊。到了隔天，就是大家一定都聽說過的黑色星期五！在Black Friday這天，各大商家都會舉行非常大的促銷活動，很多人除了去到現場排隊以外，也會在網路上搶購。

這集的part one就來一起回顧，在美國我們是如何度過感恩節的吧！

Thanksgiving is one of the important holidays on the last Thursday of every November in the U.S, and we always gather with friends and family to eat a variety of food and some different activities such as watching football games and playing board games. 
I bet everyone has heard of Black Friday, which is the day after Thanksgiving marked the start of the Christmas shopping season. This is when people would get very good deals on shopping many different items in-store or online.

Let’s throwback with us about how we spend time on Thanksgiving weekend in the U.S.

在畢業之後，大部分的人從事相關科系工作個幾年，都會選擇轉職這條路。根據104人力銀行從數十萬筆個人履歷資料中的統計指出，台灣工作者平均一份工作在職時間為 24.2個月。不過，轉職到底要怎麼做規劃呢？又需要如何去實際的執行呢？

這集我們邀請到大學在賓州讀書，回台幾年後半路出家轉工程師的好友Anne，來跟大家細說他當時每個步驟的規劃！

Many people select to work in a relevant career field after graduation. However, most chose to switch jobs after a couple of years. According to the data from 104 Job Bank, the average Taiwanese employee works in the same company for 24.2 months. 

But do you know how to set your career transition plan? What are the necessary steps you have to take? In this episode, our feature guest, Anne, will share her insights on how she became an engineer!
