1 shy student + 2 weeks? A Joyous Success!

BEFORE: Just over a fortnight ago we received a message here at EAC Hull:

Dear Mr. Betz-Heinemann,

My son ****** (13 years old) arrived yesterday. He has come to Hull to improve his English. His problem is that he only talks too seldom in English language and is shy talking English. It would be a great success, if your people could motivate him to talk more. If possible, please pass this information to the relevant teachers.

Thank you very much for your support in this matter.

AFTER: 2 weeks and one EAC Hull holiday later? A newly extroverted teenager and a wonderful email received earlier today:
                                                                                                                                                                    
Dear David and all EAC Staff,                                                                                                           

Thank you very much for working with my son; he came back yesterday evening. He enjoyed very much his stay in Hull and was very positive on his whole stay. He intends to come back next year. His twin brother also wants to travel to the UK next year. So keep us informed about your program next year in summer. Also my thanks to all the other people involved.

Best Regards,
