Maria (Wai Chung) came from Hong Kong to take a "Conversation English" Course at
"Our Farm-Park"
These pages are the record of her stay here.

Watch her day in the air

When students come to Peter they have a sound knowledge of written English....
   Now they need to practice and NOT speaking to anyone "at home".    While with Peter they speak only English and do lots of things that need them to talk, talk, talk... using English  for 10 days
This was Maria's visit story..........
