How to promote our English standard through Drama?

By Jessica Chan

Why I joined this program?

I joined this program because I was interested in acting and I wanted to improve my English

standard too! I felt very happy when I had a chance to join this program!

I would like to thank all of my teachers because they introduced me to join this special program.

Thank you, my teachers

English'• Build-up a group discussion and self expression • Working within a group and helping to support

each other • Perform a story in a stage by each group

Mask

• In the first lesson, we learnt about the mask.• It is very important for an actor or an actress to

have different facial expressions. • I learnt how to show my feelings: happy, angry,

sad and joyful. • It is very difficult to do but it has a lot of fun.
