刚刚收到三元桥馆7岁小朋友西西妈妈关于皮卡书屋冬令营的反馈，和大家分享一下：

   西西妈妈在信中坦承自己有好像中了彩票般的感觉。“ However your winter camp was really fantastic and made me feel like pick up a fortune. ” “你们的冬令营真的非常棒，让我觉得自己好像中了彩票！”

   西西妈说自己最开始对皮卡书屋的少儿冬令营并没有抱有多少期望值，因为太多冬令营了，要么是非常商业化，要么是有强度非常大的英语集训最后导致孩子反而开始厌烦英语。

   然而，皮卡书屋冬令营却给了她中彩票的感觉！

   让西西妈妈印象深刻的是，女儿在皮卡书屋上冬令营后的第一周后在家里就开始说英语了，突然之间，英语不再是一件很难的事情，而变成了一件很自然的事情， 只不过换了一种表达方式而已。此外，除了她对英语口语的态度转变，她的语音拼读能力也得到大幅提高。

   西西妈妈说女儿最喜欢的是下午的手工时间，她特别喜欢老师那些充满创意的想法！除了手工，老师还和他们一起玩了很多从来没有玩过的英语游戏，包括一些棋盘游戏！

   每周周三小朋友们还有一次外出机会， 每一天皮卡书屋的老师都早出晚归，非常辛苦，而老师们为每次出游都做足了细致的准备，另家长非常放心。

   西西妈妈期望皮卡书屋能够把以后的夏令营和冬令营活动计划和推广的更早，以便更多的孩子能够参加。

   谢谢这位妈妈真诚的推荐，我们更多的是以口碑来推广，的确力度不够。网络推广也在摸索中，希望能够得到真正热爱和喜爱皮卡的家长的无私帮助， 谢谢！

Dear Peekabook House:

As mom of a 7-year old girl who had just spent 3-week wonderful time at your winter camp, I’m writing to say “thank you” to everyone worked at the winter camp, especially Teacher Chris and Teacher Li!

To be honest, I didn’t expect much at the beginning when we enrolled the winter camp at your Sanyuanqiao house. There are too many English study classes around during the winter holidays, which are either highly commercial nature or intensive English courses making the kids tired of learning. However your winter camp was really fantastic and made me feel like pick up a fortune.

The most impressive one is that my daughter start to speak English at home after her first week of winter camp! Thanks to the full-day immersion English environment they had, despite with some grammar or wording errors, she felt it’s quite natural to express herself in English. English is no longer something difficult in books but just an alternative way to communicate with others.

Besides her attitude change on spoken English, my daughter also improved a lot on her phonics pronunciation skills. But for this part, my personal opinion is that the program should be focused on listening and reading. I understand that writing/spelling exercises will definitely help their reading comprehension, but the writing stuff seemed took too much time on the class.     

To my daughter, the most favourite part is the art and craft activities they had in the afternoon. They were quite relaxed and enjoyed the activities led by the creative and patient teachers.

To make the kids’ winter holiday life more unforgettable, the teachers also arranged skiing in Yuyang and visiting a career museum. It took great deal of extra efforts for the teachers to organize such outdoor activities, such as safety responsibility, meal and transportation etc. In addition to the outdoor activities, Teacher Chris and other teachers at Sanyuanqiao House also had lots of indoor games with the kids, such as Attention on Deck and Go Fish etc., which made them very motivated.

Again I’m so grateful that my daughter had awesome time at the Peekabook winter camp. Going forward, hopefully Peekabook can plan and advertise its winter/summer holiday activities much earlier so that more and more kids can join and enjoy it.
