From rom PooiPooi To To toto the the YoungYoung Post Post!!

Have you ever wanted to find a way to improve your reading, listening, writing, speaking, grammar, depth of vocabulary, critical
thinking and awareness of what is happening in the world all at the same time? Well, reading newspapers achieves all of the
above. It’s also a great way to keep up to date with what is happening in your local community. That’s why we encourage
students to write into the Young Post as much as possible. In addition to the benefits stated above, engaging in English outside

what some of our students had to say in some of this year’s issues of the Young Post.
