Words from the Principal - 循道中學Methodist College

liked to play online games. The Tang family were
Christians. They took me to church and we had a
fellowship there. I met John at the fellowship and
he was a F.5 student at MBS. He loved taekwondo
like I do and he became the first friend I met in
Malaysia.

was surprised that Chinese students could speak
several languages.
The MBS campus was huge but they had strict rules. The students can only speak
English or Malay inside the school. Also they cannot bring mobile phones to school.
Comparatively, Hong Kong students are free and happy in school. They had morning
line up. There were spacious grass fields for playing football. I am really envious of
those students in MBS. On the other hand, I am glad to enjoy more freedom in my
school.
In the daily school life, I got up at 5:30am and went to
school at 6:00am. It was early for me. By around 7:00am, we
were already at school. We went back home at 1:00pm and the
school did not provide many breaks during the day.
To conclude, I found myself improved in many ways. My
spoken English and my ability to communicate with foreign
people improved. I thank the school again for giving me a
chance. Also, I have to thank Mr. Martin Li and Mr. Siu for all
their support. I hope that I will be able to visit Malaysia next
year.

a lot. Through communicating with the local
people, I became braver in expressing myself in English in front of others. Also, my
aural skills have also improved a lot through talking with them. I noticed that there
are different accents in different towns and counties in Malaysia. For example, in
Hong Kong, we pronounce Monday as ‘Munday’; but in Malaysia, some people may
