Paper 2. Q. 3. (By a Chinese girl.) It has made me understand many things about England of which I had be fore a mistaken idea. For example--I thought that the Universi- ties of Cambridge, Oxford and London were three very large buildings with gardens round them, and the lower rooms used as schoolrooms and the rooms above as sleeping rooms. Instead they are streets of houses with hundreds of students living in each of the houses.
By looking at the pictures I should think that if these three universities are built together they would form a town of considerable size.
I thought that a railway station was just like our peak tram stations in Hongkong.
Instead, it is such a big one with booking offices, and so many trains can get in at the same time.
Paper 3. Q. 9. (By an English girl.) In a small village or country town we generally find the church, and next to it the village school, the squire's house and a few cottages. The squire is the leading man in the village and possesses most of the land. The village church is used for the villagers to come and worship. The schools, usually under the control of the vicar, is used for the children of the villagers to be educated.
