In order to enhance the international culture exchanges and cooperation widen the scope of training talent Dunman High School of Singapore and our school have been sister schools since the August of 2003. The students exchange program takes place every July. It brings us students such a big benefit.
My Singaporean friend Clair a lovely girl was in the first group of Singaporean students who came to our school in August of 2003. My family was her host family and she did home-stay in my home.
During her stay in Haimen my parents cooked a lot of nice Chinese traditional food for her and she enjoyed it very much. We studied together during the weekdays. At weekends I showed her around some interesting places in Haimen Nantong and Shanghai. I also took her to the countryside. She was very kind to little children and lovely animals in my grandparents’ home in the countryside. She often said “Love your neighbor as yourself.” She stayed in my home for just three days but we became very good friends. We are the same age. She can speak both English and Chinese. She has the same hobby as I--Listening to music.
Since she went back to Singapore we have been in touch by e-mail and sometimes we make telephone calls to each other. We often send photos and little presents to each other. I am so excited and happy to get any news from her and so is she.
Three months ago she took her family to my home. But it was a pity that we had only half a day to be together because her parents had a very important meeting in Shanghai.
She often says we both have Chinese home and Singaporean home. We are so lucky! Friendship is the golden thread that ties the hearts of the entire world!
