The theme, of course, is Disney movies and Disney characters. For example, you can find a roller coaster in most amusement parks, but in Disneyland, the roller coaster is themed with Disney characters.

31. This means that you can find Disney characters all over the roller coaster. You can also watch Disney movies, eat in Disney restaurants, and buy Disney gifts. And you can see Disney characters walking around Disneyland all the time.
Have you ever heard of a Disney Cruise? These are huge boats that also have the Disney theme. You can take a ride on the

boat for several days, and you can sleep and eat on board. There are also many attractions on board, just like any other Disneyland .

Here’s what two of our students said about our school.

51. When I was a your girl, all I
ever wanted to do was
traveling, and I decided that
the best way to do this was to became a flight attendant. I’ve been a flight attendant for two years now. It's a really interesting job because I travel all over the world. I discovered that the most important requirement was to speak English well, so I studied English at

52. the Hilltop Language School for five years before I became a flight attendant. It was because I could speak English that I got the job. Thank you, Hilltop Language School.
Mei Shan

fact, it's all I have ever wanted
to be. I want to travel, especially
to English-speaking countries such as the United States and Australia. However, I know that I have to improve my English, so I've started taking lessons at the Hilltop Language School.

54. The Hilltop Language School has really helped me learn English
The Hilltop Language School has really helped me learn English. I've been a student here for a year now, and I really love it. Maybe when I leave school I'll think about becoming an English teacher rather than a our guide!

74. Have you ever been to Singapore

75. Singapore is an English-speaking country, so It's also a good place to practice your English!
Have you ever tried Chinese food outside of China? Maybe you fear that you won't be able to find anything to eat in a foreign country. In Singapore, however, you'll find a lot of food from China;

76. you won't have any problem finding rice, noodles, or dumplings
you won't have any problem finding rice, noodles, or dumplings. However, if you're feeling brave, Singapore is an excellent place to try new food. Whether you like Indian food, western food, or Japanese food, you'll find it all in in Singapore in you look!

77. Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been to a zoo at night
Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been to a zoo at night? Singapore has a night zoo called the ‘Night Safari’. It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it's dark. But if you've ever been to a zoo during the daytime, you might understand why this zoo is so special. A lot of animals only wake up at night , so this is the best time to watch them. If you go to see lions, tigers, or foxes during the daytime, they'll probably be asleep!

78. At the Night safari, you can watch these animals in a more natural environment than a normal zoo.
One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round. This is because the island is so close to the equator. So you can choose to go whenever you like -spring, summer, autumn, or winter! And, of course, it's not too far from China!
