Wellington School

Hoa, our IELTS preparation student from Vietnam reports about her experience studying and living in Wellington, New Zealand.

August 2007 started my first time I had been oversea more than
six months far away from my sweet hometown, VietNam.

Campbell would be the place where I was going to stick with during the
next 27 weeks and it made my time in Wellington worth staying.

Not only could I gain knowledge and improvement in English, but I also had lots of fantastic memorable experiences.

In regard to learning environment, I have received help and assistance from Campbell staff and teachers.

Living far away from made me so homesick. Fortunately, Campbell has played an important role as if it was my second home and receiving love from all staff helps me enjoy Wellington.

The sweetest thing which will always stick on my mind is all my gorgeous teachers. They are dedicated and always provide stimulating lesson in class
which really help my English improved.

From the very first time when I arrived in Wellington, IELTS was a brand new concept for me. However, from time to time and especially with my teachers'
professional education, I was so confident to sit IETLS after 20-week study.

Eventually, achieving my target score at the first time I've sat IELTS has shown their contribution to my academic performance.

Furthermore, as well as being excellent teachers, they are also my friends and inspiration in life. They have raise my deep concern about life, environment, education and even democracy which does not seem to be interesting for Vietnamese students in general. Therefore, I am becoming keen on global
issues and humanity.

Friendship is one of the best love in life and I have made a lots of friends from different nationalities as well as personalities. I have perceived the best of different cultures.

I will never forget them as we have been sharing so many sweet moments. We treated as sisters and brothers together. We have been enjoying every single minute when we have so much fun.

In addition, with an enthusiastic activity co-ordinator in Campbell, we have had so many interesting trips exploring New Zealand. They gave us more opportunities for building our friendship. We have been experiencing a magnificent greenest New Zealand. That was fantastic time in my life.

Life has to go on and perhaps we will all ocean apart. However, the most important thing is that our love for friends as well as Campbell will never end. We are still keeping in touch and we will in the future. My time in New Zealand would not have been that enjoyable if I had not studied in Campbell and met all these lovely people.
