  18. Conclusion We have learnt so much from this trip. For example, we have learnt to improve our oral English to communicate with others, take care of ourselves and to know more about the American culture through living with the host family and studying at different schools. We all think that the last day of our visit to Stanford University and the Golden Gate Bridge was eye-opening! It was really an unforgettable time! Also, we think that it was our honour to perform at the Moon Festival. It was such a special event and it is hard to have a chance like this. We enjoyed the trip so much and we hope that we can have another chance like this!
