When I was in UK, I seized every opportunity to exchange views with the locals, from England, Ireland and Scotland, in pubs or cafes. Topics we discussed ranged from pop culture to anthropology. These exchanges helped me to understand English better and develop a keen interest in the culture.

I might not have been the brightest student admitted in 2001. But after four years at HKIEd I can now confidently enter a classroom to deliver my lesson. This transformation is in no small part attributable to the lecturers who have tirelessly guided us on the road to excellence. I feel so indebted to them.
