3a Read this article from the Hilltop Language School newsletter and write answers to the questions.

Come to the Hilltop Language School and change your life.

Here’s what two of our students said about our school. When I was a young girl, all I ever wanted to do was traveling, and I decided that the best way to do this was to become a flight attendant for two years now. It’s a really interesting job because I travel all over the world. I discovered that the most important requirement was to speak English well, so I studied English at the Hilltop Language School for five years before I became a flight attendant. It was because I could speak English that I got the job. Thank you, Hilltop Language School!

I want to be a tour guide. In fact, it’s all I have ever wanted to be. I want to travel, especially to English-speaking countries such as the United States and Australia. However , I know that I have to improve my English, so I’ve started taking lessons at the Hilltop Language School. The Hilltop Language School has really helped me learn English. I’ve been a student here for a year now, and I really love it. Maybe when I leave school I’ll think about becoming an English teacher rather than a tour guide!
