TESTIMONIALS

I am a grade 9 Korean students and lived with Susan for a while when I was

in Australia. I had a great time at Susan's in Australia. The food I ate at

Susan's was wonderful! I was a little bit nervous to eating Australian food

everyday, but the food was fantastic. I also had lots of freetimes at

Susan's. I went for many walks with her daughter Kimberley. I got to use the

home internet. Of course, I had to finish my homework and do extra study,

and keep my bedroom clean and tidy.

My English skills have also improved very much as Susan corrected them when

I spoke incorrectly. The most important thing was that I didn't feel I was

alone. Many kids from overseas feel sad and depressed, but at Susan's I

wasn't. Australia is a great place for Korean kids to go and study and also good

for cultural experiences.^o^

I, Linda learnt many things in Australia by the help from the schools, the

school teachers, Australian friends, Teacher Prue and Uncle Rick.

I went to Cathedral school and Calvary Christian College and I thank them

for letting me come to their schools and feel very comfortable. Also I thank the school

teachers for all the help and the explanations for my lessons in school. My

Australian friends always helped me and taught me the Australian games. If they

didn't play with me, may be I would have been lonely, so I thank them.

Especially, I thank Teacher.Prue and Uncle. Rick. They always took me to

on journeys to teach me Australian's culture and the history, and they

taught me English with some good explanations, and also they gave me good

quality food unlike the other homestays.

The study, I did in Australia helped me with my Korean study. As soon as I

came back to Korea, I went to the academy which is famous for English

education in Korea. I did the test to see my level, and I got the high

level. Also I was the brightest student in my class so I got many certificates.

My parents were satisfied with it.

I thank everyone so much.

My daughter, Lee Ji Soo(Linda) had been in school in Townsville, Australia

from January,2004 to June,2005.

English is very important for Korean students, and they spend lots of time

on English. If they study hard English in Elementary school, they can study

easily in Junior, Middle and high school. So my daughter had gone abroad to

Australia for English.

At first we thought we'll satisfy with Linda if she learns English well,

but, after Linda spent a term in Cathedral school and spent other terms in

Calvary school, it helped Linda with school affairs. Linda got mant

certificates by the help from the schools and the teachers. Now, she has

lots of mind of self confidence. Especially, the homestay life in Prue and

Rick 's house made Linda to know the cultural and the homelife in

Australia.prue and Rick looked after Linda just like the parents so Linda

says she lived there comfortably. We thank Prue andRick so much about

taking Linda to many journeys in holidays and teaching her English, and

Australian friends helped Linda a lot to study in the school.

We hope that linda's experiences with her friends will help her with the

future. We satisfied about Linda's life and all the studying with Linda's

younger brother, Chris' life in Australia. We want to say thank you to the

schools and the teachers, and Linda's friends, and especially we want to

say thank you to Prue and Rick.
