Teachers or Spies

We are here at
Of course This is not
the first time for me to learn
English,but the reason I want to
mention
is that this time of our world are
teachers, and they are foreign
teachers! (Not exactly all of them
are.)
The first day we came here, we were told that this is a total immersion English
course.To tell you the truth, I didn’t understand it properly at first.
Today is my third day here, and I really get the meaning now. We are not allowed
to say even a single Chinese word here. The “SPEAK ENGLISH NLY” reminders

Many students couldn’t speak at
the beginning, and they are starting
to speak English now.
I only have two weeks here.
One thing is quite certain: I will miss it here.
I would like to introduce this place to everybody who wants to learn how to speak
English . Gateway LanguageVillage is just the right place.
