Prime Minister’s Scholarship for Asia, Chinese Language Study Abroad
Introduction
你好，我是艾米丽 (Emilia)! I have just completed my second year at the University of Auckland studying Global Studies majoring in International Business and Chinese and Arts, majoring in French and Economics.
I’ve been learning Chinese for the past seven years and am incredibly grateful to have this amazing opportunity to practice and develop my language skills.
