On Tuesday 20November, seven of the adult students from Home Sweet Home sat their Graded Examination in Spoken English (GESE).Their results have now been confirmed and this week we were thrilled to present them with their certificates.All seven students passed, with one student gaining a Distinction at their grade level. Our team of dedicated Dulwich College students and parents will continue to practise English with them each week, now targeting the next GESE level.Genevieve and Alyssa (Year 10), who joined the service CCA this term, reflect on the experience of working alongside Home Sweet Home students:“We started this yearbeing uncertain about what Home Sweet Home would be like, but after the first lesson we grew a strong bond with the adults. Not only do we practise English with them, we find out about their hobbies. We laugh with them and have many other enjoyable moments together. However, the greatest joy is watching them be happy as they learn new interests.Home Sweet Homeis different from many other CCAs, because not only do you give back, but you gain so much more. InHome Sweet Home,we revise different levels of English, as we help prepare them for their external examinations, as well as allowing them to express their creative side through music, sports and art.”
We are so proud of the students’ examination results and achievements! It is great to be able to be part of this meaningful community partnership that leads to real world success, helping Home Sweet Home students with future job applications.
11月20日（周二），來(lái)自Home Sweet Home的七名成年學(xué)生參加了英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)等級(jí)考試（GESE）。目前，他們的考試成績(jī)已確認(rèn)，本周我們很高興地向他們頒發(fā)證書。七名學(xué)生全部通過(guò)了考試，其中一人更是獲得了相應(yīng)等級(jí)的“優(yōu)秀”成績(jī)。我們盡心盡職的德威學(xué)生與家長(zhǎng)團(tuán)隊(duì)將一如既往地每周陪他們練習(xí)英語(yǔ)，并朝著下一等級(jí)的GESE目標(biāo)而努力。
與Home Sweet Home的學(xué)生們共同學(xué)習(xí)的經(jīng)歷可以瀏覽下文中Genevieve和Alyssa（10年級(jí)）的介紹，他們?cè)诒緦W(xué)期的課外活動(dòng)中參加了此次服務(wù)項(xiàng)目：我們是今年開始參加這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)的，期初并不了解Home Sweet Home是一個(gè)怎樣的地方。但上完第一節(jié)課后，我們與那兒的成年學(xué)員建立起了緊密的聯(lián)系。我們不僅陪他們練習(xí)英語(yǔ)，還挖掘出了他們的愛好。我們一同歡笑，一起度過(guò)了很多愉快的時(shí)光。不過(guò)，最大的欣慰還是看到他們因?yàn)閷W(xué)習(xí)了新的興趣項(xiàng)目而感到快樂(lè)。
Home Sweet Home與很多其他的課外活動(dòng)不同，因?yàn)槟阍诟冻龊突仞伒耐瑫r(shí)，能夠得到更多。在Home Sweet Home，我們會(huì)復(fù)習(xí)不同等級(jí)的英語(yǔ)知識(shí)，因?yàn)槲覀冃枰獛椭鷮W(xué)員們準(zhǔn)備外部考試，同時(shí)讓他們通過(guò)音樂(lè)、體育和藝術(shù)等形式展現(xiàn)各自的創(chuàng)造力。
我們?yōu)樗麄兊目荚嚦煽?jī)和所取得的成就感到無(wú)比自豪！能夠成為這項(xiàng)頗有意義的社區(qū)合作項(xiàng)目的一份子是一件很棒的事，這能夠促成我們?cè)趯?shí)際生活中取得成功，也能給Home Sweet Home學(xué)生的未來(lái)工作申請(qǐng)帶來(lái)助益。
