SCMP Reporter

Two exchange students, Romain Beyries and Marcelo Pereira, are studying in my school. Romain, who is from France, and Marcelo, a Brazilian, are both in the same class - Form 6A.

Romain is confident and outgoing, while Marcelo is a little shy.

They are welcome to join our big family and I hope they enjoy their school life.

Students should remember that they must not be shy to speak English. We can improve our language skills by speaking to the new students.

Don't miss this great opportunity to learn more about them and their countries.

Thanks for your letter, Ngai-fan. You are lucky to have two exchange students in your class - it's a great opportunity to improve your language skills and learn about another culture.

Make sure that you read our weekly e-Pal column - it's on page 3 today - where we profile students from around the world. Plus, you have the opportunity to e-mail them, too!

And if you haven't already tried it, I'd recommend checking out Google Earth - a free download at http://earth.google.com. You type in where you want to go and 'fly' around a virtual globe to your destination - it's great fun.

I'm sure Romain and Marcelo will enjoy their time in Hong Kong.
