“Saying Goodbye to Cairns” (Day 14)

We had packed our luggage and were ready to go back to Hong Kong very early this morning! We had a wonderful study tour in Cairns, Australia. We had lots of special experiences such as city hunt, making new friends in a local school, visiting the zoo and learning about coral reef and marine life. We couldn’t forget our enjoyable moments in the painting of boomerangs and cooking the ANZAC cookies.

We also enjoyed the trips to explore the nature, the Green Island and the Rainforestation. It was fun playing in water and looking for shells on the Green Island.

The lessons were great. We learnt lots of things and our English teachers tried their best to let us understand what they were talking about. I miss them so much. I bet that my classmates will definitely miss the teachers and their homestay parents, too. This was a great trip.

UNFORGETTALBE  MOMENTS

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Australian teachers, Elaine and Chelsey, for their kindness and patience in teaching our students. We also appreciate the efforts of the tour leader, Yoyo Kwan, for her help and support in the whole tour. Lastly, we would also express our gratitude to all those friendly Australians we have encountered and the warm hospitality they showed us in the tour."

“Barbecue at The Seashore” (Day 13)

Today we were divided into three groups before the lesson break. One student in the group should stick a card on his/her head and guess what it was about by asking his/her group members questions. Our group could successfully guess some of the words in the game. It was fun.

Then, the teacher divided all of us again into two bigger groups. First, Elaine showed one student in each group a word and they could only draw pictures to tell their group members what the word was. The group which could guess the most words won. Luckily, we were the winning group. We got 14 marks while the other group only got 9. This game was exciting and funny in the sense you might find it difficult to draw the picture to tell the others.

In the afternoon, we had barbecue at the seashore. The boys roasted the meat while the girls were cutting the onions and mushrooms. Our final products were lots of tasty hamburgers and hot dogs. We had also tried kangaroo meat that tasted like viscera. Although I didn’t like the kangaroo thing, I did enjoy the barbecue.
