Good morning, teachers and students!

This week is the English Week, and it is an excellent time to think about how you can improve your English. Of course, every day in school, you have chances to improve your English: through reading, writing, speaking and listening. But I want to talk about learning English outside the school.

In Hong Kong, there are chances all around you to improve your English. There are many people living here whose first language is English. When you hear people speaking English, you should use your skills learned at school to try to understand them. You may even be brave enough to try talking to them. Hong Kong also has many English language media: books, newspapers, movies and television. You should make the best use of these chances to read and listen to English.

Personally, I read a Chinese newspaper that has an English translation of some articles. When I am reading, I try to learn new English words and phrases. This method has helped me a lot. As a student, you should make your English language learning go beyond your school books. It should be a lifelong process. The chances are there for you, so make sure you take them.

Thank you.

Dear Mary,

    We had an English Week at our school last month. It was very interesting and I want to share it with you.

    Our English Week lasted for five days, starting from Monday. On Monday, we had English speeches. Some students made exciting speeches to us. Their spoken English was so good. On Tuesday, we had an English party and I sang my favorite English song. On Wednesday, our teachers took us to read English books outside. For the last two days, we went to an international school and communicated with the foreign students there.

    I improved my English a lot while enjoying myself during the English Week.

Yours,

Linda
