Conclusion
We learned a lot in this year. First of all, our English has improved very much. We are not afraid of talking to foreigners anymore. Secondly, the skills of dealing with interpersonal relationship are getting better. Because there are too many people from different countries, we knew how to respect them. Last but not least, it is a very wonderful experience to be with this group, we will keep going on learning English and sharing what we have got.
