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 travel,
and I decided that the best way to do this was
to become a flight attendant.
I've been 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,especialy to English-speaking
countries such as the United States
and Australia.
However,I know that I have 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!David Feng
