On Tuesday 20November, seven of the adult students from Home Sweet Home sat their Graded Examination in Spoken English (GESE).Their results have now been confirmed and this week we were thrilled to present them with their certificates.All seven students passed, with one student gaining a Distinction at their grade level. Our team of dedicated Dulwich College students and parents will continue to practise English with them each week, now targeting the next GESE level.Genevieve and Alyssa (Year 10), who joined the service CCA this term, reflect on the experience of working alongside Home Sweet Home students:“We started this yearbeing uncertain about what Home Sweet Home would be like, but after the first lesson we grew a strong bond with the adults. Not only do we practise English with them, we find out about their hobbies. We laugh with them and have many other enjoyable moments together. However, the greatest joy is watching them be happy as they learn new interests.Home Sweet Homeis different from many other CCAs, because not only do you give back, but you gain so much more. InHome Sweet Home,we revise different levels of English, as we help prepare them for their external examinations, as well as allowing them to express their creative side through music, sports and art.”
We are so proud of the students’ examination results and achievements! It is great to be able to be part of this meaningful community partnership that leads to real world success, helping Home Sweet Home students with future job applications.
11月20日（周二），来自Home Sweet Home的七名成年学生参加了英语口语等级考试（GESE）。目前，他们的考试成绩已确认，本周我们很高兴地向他们颁发证书。七名学生全部通过了考试，其中一人更是获得了相应等级的“优秀”成绩。我们尽心尽职的德威学生与家长团队将一如既往地每周陪他们练习英语，并朝着下一等级的GESE目标而努力。
与Home Sweet Home的学生们共同学习的经历可以浏览下文中Genevieve和Alyssa（10年级）的介绍，他们在本学期的课外活动中参加了此次服务项目：我们是今年开始参加这项活动的，期初并不了解Home Sweet Home是一个怎样的地方。但上完第一节课后，我们与那儿的成年学员建立起了紧密的联系。我们不仅陪他们练习英语，还挖掘出了他们的爱好。我们一同欢笑，一起度过了很多愉快的时光。不过，最大的欣慰还是看到他们因为学习了新的兴趣项目而感到快乐。
Home Sweet Home与很多其他的课外活动不同，因为你在付出和回馈的同时，能够得到更多。在Home Sweet Home，我们会复习不同等级的英语知识，因为我们需要帮助学员们准备外部考试，同时让他们通过音乐、体育和艺术等形式展现各自的创造力。
我们为他们的考试成绩和所取得的成就感到无比自豪！能够成为这项颇有意义的社区合作项目的一份子是一件很棒的事，这能够促成我们在实际生活中取得成功，也能给Home Sweet Home学生的未来工作申请带来助益。
