Cristina is a Portuguese student. She decided to improve her English during the summer holiday. So she took a two weeks’ summer course (课程) in the Embassy School, Oxford. Now let’s read about her experience.
It was a wonderful experience. The school was on one of the city’s most famous streets. The teachers were very nice and the classrooms were modern.
The Embassy School wasn’t a boarding school (寄宿学校), so I stayed with an English family during those two weeks. It was an excellent opportunity to practice my English. They couldn’t speak Portuguese, so I tried my best to communicate with them in English. They lived in a beautiful house. I loved staying with them because they were very friendly. Every morning, I took the bus to school.
Classes started at 9 a.m. and finished at 4 p.m. We had three classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon. I learned a lot and met classmates from all over the world. We also visited the most famous places of the country.
It was the best summer holiday I’ve ever had. My English got much better and I made a lot of new friends.

Hi, my name is Joseph and there’s something I’d like to share with you ... My 16-year-old son, Dylan, told everyone that one of the most amazing experiences of his life was the trip to South Africa last summer. Most people would think that he was on a vacation there. But Dylan spent almost the whole ten days of his trip building houses for people there. It was hard and dirty work. I never thought that he would enjoy it, but he loved every minute of it.
Encouraging (鼓励) teenagers to do volunteer work is one of the most important things you can do for them as a parent. And the amazing thing is, once they get a taste of it, teenagers will love to volunteer. And students who do volunteer work do better in school than those who don’t volunteer. In fact, volunteering provides many things for teenagers, including a wonderful experience and a good chance (机会) to meet new people.
It’s not difficult to find volunteer jobs for teenagers. They can find them in hospitals, libraries, children’s museums and so on.
