I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Shanghai International Studies University.
         This camp will give you the chance to practice with native English speakers. The lessons will focus on improving your pronunciation, listening skills, oral English, and perhaps most importantly your fluency.
         Lots of students studying English in Shanghai have focused on learning rote responses. These classes will give you the opportunity to practice your English in a freer environment. Please make the most of your time here and use English all the time you are on the university campus.
        Fluency in a foreign language is about the ability to communicate freely. I am sure that everyone who makes the effort will be rewarded with an improvement in his or her fluency.
        I hope you will all take full advantage of this opportunity to improve your English. But don’t worry, the teachers know that you are spending your holiday time here so although we will ask you to work hard we will make sure that you have fun. We will play lots of games in the classroom, every class will have the chance to control the teacher and decide what kind of performance they want to do. I am sure that you will all enjoy your time here.
