The Experience Sharing strove to guide undergraduates in preparing MA Entrance Exam, applying for studying abroad and seeking a satisfying job. Huang Lu pointed out that one would miss a sea of chances with the fear of challenge and the value of a chance should not be weighed by how much money you can get but what benefits it can bring to you through sharing her past internship in New Oriental Training School whilst Jia Xiangyu introduced how to choose a reliable agency helping you to apply the target university. Li Wen Jia and Tian Nianping, two admitted MA students by Beijing Foreign Studies University recommended their tactics of studying. Tian suggested that students should attend lectures of Current Affairs and have some courses opened by School of Chinese Languages and Literature while Li shared his motto with audiences, Hope is for Those Who Believe in Themselves. And the importance of figuring out what you want as well as nurturing the ability of handling the distractions and making a effective timescale in spare time were emphasized by Feng Xiao and Liang Jianyuan. As far as Yu Xinyi and Feng Jingyuan concerned, the secrets to seek for a promising job can be summarized as follow, having a comprehensive understanding of yourself and the background of the company you want to join before the interview, developing a hobby, seizing each chance which can develop your skill, and taking the initiative to contact your interviewer after a interview.
Graduation is for going for a more bright future rather than the end of learning. The experience sharing meeting opened a window for the undergraduates and paved the way in their preparation for the next following years before graduation.
