Below is a story about a recent trip to Hong Kong written by one of my student’s at my English school, Smith’s school of English Ohtsu.
My student’s name is Toshiko. She is a franchise business owner and a very determined English student, as English helps her with her business. She has been studying with us at Smith’s school of English Ohtsu for 1 year now, and we are incredibly proud of the progress she has made so far. I want to thank Toshiko for allowing me to publish her story, and I hope you enjoy it. Note: We helped her by circling all the mistakes, but she did all the corrections herself.
