Language learning experience in London
Halu is an amateur photographer from Hong Kong. He loves travelling around the globe to capture the best moments of the universe. As a photographer, he uses photos to tell a story. During his time overseas, he discovered his most favourite part of photography — human interaction.
To explore the world, Halu joined a 1-month trip to London to learn English. After that, he flew to Iceland for the northern lights. Let’s hear what he says about the trip!
Why did you decide to study English in London?
I worked as an officer for a train company in Hong Kong. Every day I met lots of travellers from all over the world. I love communicating with people, especially people from different countries and cultures. At the same time, I wanted to see the world. Therefore, I went to London for a short English course.
How was your trip?
It was really great! London is a vibrant city, I met lots of awesome people there. After a month in London, my English had improved substantially. In Hong Kong, the education system mainly focuses on reading and writing; but in London, I got the chance to speak English in real life situations. It improved my confidence and communication skills.
You also love photography, can you share more?
Yes! After the trip, I flew to Iceland to catch the northern lights. I love photography, and I wanted to see the world as much as possible while I am still young and healthy. It was so cold in Iceland and I went there alone. But it was a memorable experience! I met lots of people during the journey, and managed to speak a few words in Icelandic! I love taking pictures of people as well, it was so nice to meet some new friends and learn their stories. I love to use a camera to capture every moment of my life!
What is your next plan and travel destination?
I just came back from Canada and currently I am in Japan. I want to go to New Zealand in 2018 and at the same time, I want to continue learning English and pick up one new language. I want to travel to more places and capture the best moments of the world with my camera. I firmly believe in the principle that life is about creating yourself!
