[05:30.97]The theme, of course, is Disney movies and Disney characters.

[08:39.39]Here’s what two of our students said about our school.
[08:43.65]When I was young girl, all I ever wanted to do was traveling, and I decided that the best way to do this was to become a flight attendant.
[08:55.12]I’ve been a flight attendant for tow years now.
[08:58.78]It’s a really interesting job because I travel all over the world.
[09:04.13]I discovered that the most important requirement was to speak English well, so I studied English at the Hilltop Language School for five years before I became a flight attendant.
[09:16.80]It was because I could speak English that I got the job.
[09:20.56]Thanks you, Hilltop Language School!

[09:26.64]In fact, it’s all I have ever wanted to be.

[09:36.86]However, I know that I have to improve my English, so I’ve started taking Lesson at the Hilltop Language School.
[09:35.86]The Hilltop School has really helped me learn English.
[09:39.51]I’ve been a student here for a year now, and I really love it.

[09:51.89]Have you ever been to singapore?
[10:02.16]Have you ever been to Singapore?
[10:05.40]For many Chinese tourists, this small island in Southeast Asia is a wonderful place to take a holiday.
[10:12.66]On the one hand, more than three quarters of the population are Chinese, so you can simply speak putonghua a lot of time.
[10:21.41]On the other hand, Singapore is an English-speaking country, so it's also a good place to practice your English!
[10:29.77]Have you ever tried Chinese food outside of China?
[10:34.00]Maybe you fear that you won't be able to find anything to eat in a foreign country.
[10:39.46]In Singapore, however, you'll find a lot of food from China; you won't have any problem finding rice, noodles, or dumplings.
[10:48.53]However, if you're feeling brave, singa-pore is an excellent place to try new food.
[10:55.24]Whether you like Indian food, western foood, or Japanese food, you'll find it all in Singapore if you look!
[11:02.69]Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been to a zoo at night?
[11:09.22]Singapore if you look! night Zoo called the 'Night Safari'.
[11:13.68]It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it''s dark.
[11:17.81]But if you've ever been to a zoo during the daytime, you might understand why this zoo is so special.
[11:24.63]A lot of animals only wake up at night, so this is the best time to watch them.
[11:23.63]If you go to see lions, tigers, or foxes during the daytime, they'll probably be asleep!
[11:30.76]At the Night Safari, you can watch these animals in a more natural environment than a normal zoo.
[11:37.60]One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round.
[11:39.33]This is because the island is so close to the equator.
[11:43.49]So you can choose to go whenever you lke-spring, summer, autumn, or winter!
[11:49.78]And, of course, it's not too far from China! |
