What’s inside:

We Study Hard, We Play Harder:

PE Summer Camp 2014 July and August are usually the busiest

months of the year for Paradise English and

this year tops the list in the history of PE. This year’s summer camp was the toughest

yet one of the most rewarding camps the

school has ever had.

The mix of students coming from

countries such as Switzerland, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Saudi

Arabia, Russia, and the Philippines was so

diverse and it was such a joy to see these little strangers become friends and interact with

each other using English!

At PE, students practice and learn to

communicate effectively in their social and

academic lives. The camp curriculum is de-

signed in such a way that students maximize

learning English both inside and outside the

classroom, which is most important for kids

as studying English can be as much fun as

playing games!

The children had a great time after classes participating in two hours of off cam-pus activities such as riding a Segway along the beach, flying across the Fairways

and Blue Water golf course on a zip line or cable car, touring the Mangrove For-

est, visiting a sea aquarium to see exotic fish and beautiful mermaids, and playing Canada’s national sport – hockey. Below are some of what the happy campers

wrote about the PE Summer Camp 2014.

“I will study. I love camp.” – Siu, age 7, S. Korea

“I think it was good because I meet many friends. I studied English. It was very

good. I went beach and swam. My best activity was Zorb, Zipline, and beach swimming.” – Sally, age 10, S. Korea

“My summer camp is in Boracay, in Paradise English School. I live in Teachers’ House. When I go there, first I make my bed, put my clothes on the table and

make all the things. After next day, I go to school. Our lunch time is twelve

o’clock. At three to five is activity time. We have Zipline, beach games, swimming, wave pool, Zorb, zoo…. In our school, we have a lot of classrooms. We have two

offices. Our teachers are kind and good. Students love them.” – Charis, age 11,

Hong Kong

“My summer camp is fun.” – Allan, age 10, Philippines

“The summer camp is give people chance to play and study. It’s give people happy and smile place.” – Peter, age 12, Taiwan

“The summer camp is great. It’s fun with friends in Paradise English. I mostly like

the Zipline in Fairways, going to the banana boat and going to the Dreamland.” – Mitsuki, age 11, Japan

“I think about the summer camp is very important because if we come here we

can learn a lot of English and we can learn about other countries’ culture. This

camp is very good for children.” – Eunice, age 12, S. Korea

Hi everyone, my name is Carolyn, I am 22 years old and from Lucerne, Swit-

zerland. As I write I have been here at

Paradise English for 3 weeks and I have 3 more weeks left. I really enjoy my time

here at the school because the teachers

and staff are so friendly and always will-ing to help you have the best time here on

this lovely island Boracay.

Boracay is a very good place to study English because everyone speaks

English here as it is known as a tourist is-

land. If you come here you will meet a lot of people from all over the world and I

was lucky enough to meet some local peo-

ple who do martial arts at the Legacy Gym Boracay so I have been able to prac-

tice my Kung-Fu here.

I have been studying Kung-Fu now

for more than six months and I really like

it. Kung-Fu is a martial art originally from China. There is a Shaolin Temple

near my home in Lucerne and I practice

there. I like that the Shaolin Temple in Lucerne practices Kung-Fu in a very tra-

ditional way. We have to speak Chinese

in the temple and we also have lessons about the historical background of Kung-

Fu.

For me to do sports is a very good

diversion from my studies. I am studying

law and I will take my final exams for the Master in Law Degree next year. It is a

very strenuous and demanding program,

so when I do my Kung-Fu I can forget about everything and relax.

If you would like to try a martial

art without having to fight against others, Kung-Fu is a very good choice. After

only two months, you will already have

better control of your body and it will take shape in a good way. So, don’t hesi-

tate to try it! You’ll like it!

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

Wagga Wagga. Pago Pago. Bella Bella.

MANOC MANOC?? Early on in my stay here in Boracay I came upon a

group of young boys and in conversation I learned that they lived in Chicken Chicken. Having a slight aware-

ness of the local language I quickly deduced they were

joking and meant Manoc Manoc. It was funny but it got me thinking-why that

name? How did the little barangay where

Paradise English is located get its name?

Well, anyone who has walked

around Manoc Manoc will soon realize the name makes perfect sense, but one may

wonder why the name isn’t Manoc Manoc

Manoc Manoc ad infinitum.

Chickens… enjoy your walkabout.
