"My daughter, Melody Chen has been studying in this Chinese school for 8 years. In the beginning, she didn't like it too much, gradually, it's getting easier every year, she still didn't like it, but, she used to it already.
Learning Chinese, persistence is very important for both the parent and the student, if the student say,"I don't want to study Chinese", and the parent say "OK, I will have more time for something else", then, dropout is very easy. But, if the parent say no, you have to learn, I did that to my daughter, she finally graduated this year.
I always tell my daughter, we are Chinese, we have to know our own language, even foreigner learn Chinese, and knowing Chinese will be a plus for you when you go to work, and for your life time down the road.
I have a cousin, she has a 30 years old son, he recently changed to a new job. One day, he came home from work, he asked his mom, how come you didn't force me to learn Chinese when I was younger.
So, when you have chance, learn your mother language."
"我的女兒陳頴之在顯聖容堂中文學校已經讀了八年中文。 開始的時候， 她不太喜歡，到現時也還是不太喜歡，不過她逐漸地習慣了。
學習中文，堅持是很重要的：
無論是家長或是學生。如果小朋友説，我不想去學中文，而家長説好的，那麼我可以用這時間做別的事情，那就好容易退學；但是如果家長説不可，好像陳穎之一樣。我真的很開心，她最後可以在這裏畢業。
我時常跟我女兒説，我們是中國人，一定要學懂我們自己的語言，現在有很多外國人也學中文。而且學好中文，以後在人生中，在工作上會是一個很大的好處。
我有一個表姊妹的兒子，今年30 歲，最近轉了工作，有一天回到家"
