A pretty girl called
Mei Shan said…..

15. When I was a 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. I’ve been a flight attendant for 2 years now. It’s a really interesting job because I get to travel all over the world.

16. I discovered that the most
important requirement was to speak English well, so I studied English at the Henderson Language School for 5 years before I became a flight attendant. It was because I could speak English that I got the job. Thank you, Hendarson Language School !
Mei Shan

17. A tour guide called
Joseph Feng
I want to be a tour guide. In fact, it’s all I have ever wanted to be. I want to travel, particularly to
English-speaking countries such as the United States and Australia.

18. However, I know that I have to improve my English, so I’ve started taking lessons at the Henderson Language School.

19. The Henderson 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 graduate I’ll think about becoming an English teacher rather than a tour guide !
