Words from the Principal - 循道中學Methodist College

Tong Fu Yi Fiona 3R
2011-2012 was the most special school year for
me. I met two new friends who were not born in Hong
Kong but instead, they came from Germany and Italy.
Fortunately, I had a golden chance to study with Irina in
the same class and even be a buddy to her. I got a more
meaningful school life and a marvelous year both inside
and outside school. All the students in our class enjoyed
the time we spent together. We learnt a lot from her.
We participated in many activities together with
Irina brought Isabelle, another German Irina, such as our class birthday parties, Christmas
student, to join our lessons for one day. celebration, and so on. We were also the members of the
English Drama Club. During all these activities, we communicated in English. If the
teachers were not using English sometimes, we had to translate it to her in order to
let her understand what was going on.
Besides, the English learning atmosphere has improved a lot in our class. Teachers
have used much more English in the daily school life. Students also did their very
best to build up a lovely school life for Irina. In order to achieve this purpose, we all
spoke in English so that Irina would feel that she is part of us. Because of this special
foreigner, English had become the main language we used in our daily lives. Our
English communication skills have therefore upgraded a lot.
