“ Going to Qinghua Chinese school allowed me to not only learn Mandarin but gave me other opportunities to make new friends, participate in poetry recitals, Chinese dance competitions and performances, and to present our annual Chinese Dragon Boat Festival celebrations. I learnt many useful skills and made long-lasting memories. Mandarin is a useful skill to have. As a lawyer in an international firm, sometimes I have been asked to do translations and facilitate discussions with clients in Mandarin. It also helped me to secure an international secondment to our Hong Kong office.
去清华中文学校不仅让我学习了普通话，还让我有机会结交新朋友、参加诗歌朗诵、中国舞蹈比赛和表演，并主持我们一年一度的中国端午节庆祝活动。我学到了很多有用的技能，留下了难忘的回忆。普通话是一项很有用的技能。作为一家国际公司的律师，有时我会被要求做翻译，用普通话与客户进行讨论。这也帮助我获得了我们香港办事处的国际借调机会。”

“My name is Laura, I spent most Saturday mornings of my childhood at Qinghua Chinese School, studying for my GCSE Chinese exam and beyond. Learning to speak mandarin has been invaluable to me as it allows me to communicate with my family in China, but it has also become a useful skill professionally as China has become a huge part of the world economy. I graduated from Oxford University, now I work as an intellectual property Lawyer in London. I have many fond memories of my time at Qinghua Chinese School and am still in touch with friends I made there over a decade later! ”
