「我參加咗一個喺 Katikati 嘅 Homestay Programme，住咗喺 Miller 一家一個星期。我好鍾意同佢哋一齊住，仲識咗我嘅 Host Brother David。佢哋屋企有兩隻狗，我最鍾意 Bingo！住喺寄宿家庭期間，我可以練習英文，又可以試好多 NZ 食物。有一晚 Host Dad 仲親自煮咗個 Burger 畀我食，真係好好食！」

“I joined an outdoor adventure programme in Christchurch and had an amazing time exploring the mountains. I got to ski for the first time and went stargazing, where we learned about the constellations in the Southern Hemisphere. I really enjoyed visiting a local school too. I loved playing cricket with the students, although I still don’t really understand rugby!”
