Thank you all for sharing your thoughts to me :)
My daughter is applying for year 10 (forth form). And our family moved to Hong Kong before she was born, so she grows up in Hong Kong, but we do have friends and relatives living in UK, Brighton, where our second home is.
As for her hobbies, she loves reading, doing experiments,cooking, debating and drawing. But the thing is, she participates in a lot of things but she is just not really good at them, eg. playing the piano(grade 7, she doen't like it), playing flute(for 1 year, still bad at it), doing sports (swimming, cycling, playing badminton, running,ice skating), learing foreign languages (French, for 2 years. However, up till now, she only knows the basics).
As for her academic results, she is pretty good in her school which is one of the top 20 schools in Hong Kong. She is good at Maths, Science, Chinese and English Literature. However, i am worried about her English, her oral is quite good but her grammar is relatively bad so she got a C in the subject. And Brighton College replied that they shared the same thought with me.
Actually, we(my family and I) limited our targets on these schools because of a few reasons. Firstly, the academic results of the schools are quite good and the students there are nice and friendly, from my experience. Secondly, our agent company and some of our relatives did recommend these schools to us as they are famous and a lot of Hong Kong people studied there.
However, i am just worried that she will not be able to adapt to the environment and being bullied. Still, i have to admit that she is a cheerful, friendly and nice girl.
Oh wow that is such a long message.
Thank you for reading and showing your concerns :)
XOXO
