Hello:D I am Rachel Lok from 2B1. I am now 14 years old. As it is the first time I travel to UK, I am really excited and nervous. There is a Chinese motto said that “You will learn more from frequent travelling than reading number of books.” I believe that this trip will be an unforgettable memory for all the participants. I hope we can build up a close relationship with our host family, to know more about other’s culture, also to improve my English.
Strengths:My strength is drawing, I like to use drawing to express my feelings, it can help me to release stress and vent emotions. Another strength is editing photos or animation, I usually use Photoshop to edit photos, making banners or icons.

Basic information~Victoria Lam from 1D2

Hello everyone,my name is Victoria Lam from 1D2.

I am glad to join this UK Summer course, it must be a unforgettable memory for all of us.

I am a quiet girl, I always read books when I have nothing to do.

In holidays, I usually bake cakes or cookies by myself , I love bakery very much.

My favorite dessert is hot chocolate cake, it is because I love chocolate.

I am weak in English reading and writing, but have good pronunciation in English, so I am quite confident with my speaking skills. I learn violin for a long long time, but I don't think I am good at it. 

I am interested in Classic Music and Opera, and I also like to watch movies in the theater with my families.

I wish to join this course is because I really wanted to know more and learn more about how people in UK live and to be independent.  I want to know what would happen to me when I live by myself and without my parents, it must be a disaster!

I hope all of my schoolmates will have a nice trip!

Basic information-Vivian Lai from 2C2

I am Vivian Lai from 2C2. Now I am 13 years old and my birthday is on 27th of August. This UK trip is really meaningful to me, because I think that it is a great chance for me to learn other country's culture, the lifestyle of UK and the famous food-fish and chips! I hope that I can go shopping more with my hostfamily and enjoy the warm atmosphere in UK. Besides, I would like to have a higher level of english speaking, this is really a great honour and opportunity for me to communicate with foreigners. Lastly, I wish I could feel the passion of staying at London Olympic games period .

I am sure that every night when I am bathing, I must sing Cantonese opera and many many classic or pop songs which include Chinese, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Spanish and of course English! True, I love singing and dancing.

 Moreover, I love acting drama a lot, it entertains me and audiences, also can bring out my enthusiasm and passion.

Furthermore, I like to take photos which maybe about objects, people and food. Also, I am strong in making photo effects and can beautify the photos that will be amazing, indeed.

Last but not least, I would like to say that I am really weak in Mathematics. I hate them very much because they are really annoying and make me feeling difficult.

This trip will be a big milestone in my life and since it is the first time I go to UK, I feel exciting:)

Music is unique :D I am also good at cooking :)
