你是家長嗎？不如系呢到同大家一齊分享一下！

My friend's son (now studying in HK) also just got notice for interview and she is booking flight to go with him, her husband is going too!

If the kid is already studying in UK, do we still need to go with them? Just think maybe not much use for parents to fly all the way there from HK? Are we allowed to accompany him during the day before and after interviews?

記憶所及不論香港名校或英倫名校，好多都有劍牛嘅校友（在學或者畢業生），或者校長本身是校友，好樂意畀意見，亦有career planing 嘅workshop，對申請劍牛的同學是一大資源。

I accompanied my son to the college a night before the interview, he stayed there by himself and I picked him up after the interview in the second date.  To be honest, not many parents there, I went with him for logistics and psychological support only.  Since he has a few classmates also attending Cambridge interview in different colleges, they have a lot to share after the interview and I'm pleased to be there to listen to his first hand information.

預祝你小朋友面試成功先。我呀仔還未收到通知，但佢有一個同學同佢報同一系也考了Cambridge入學試，在早幾天他已獲通知被reject左，不獲面試。

As your son went to UK the first time from HK, just like my friend's son, it's natural and easy decision to make.

雖然我同你一樣會想精神上支持同即時同阿仔分享，但如果小朋友已在英國，又能自己handle 旅程，父母專程由香港飛去兩日又好似有點兒那個。

對呀，如他們已在當地留學而有信心handle 到，家長同行其實沒有多大的added value！
上次我還和仔落Brighton 探呀女，因為想讓哥哥多了解妹妹學習的環境，妹妹很開心我們到訪，興奮地介紹學校俾哥哥認識！我們也趁此行拜訪妹妹在倫敦嘅guardian, 佢husband 系British, lecturer in KCL, 等哥哥interview 前取下經，唸番其實個旅程都有很多得著！

由 Heathrow 去 Oxford or Cambridge 都咁方便, 安排到在 college 住宿, 父母去嚟做嘜?  己經17, 18 歲咯, 孩子己經長大了, 父母要漸漸學識放手.  尤其是男仔或有同學同行, 父母去都嫌你阻手阻腳啦.  只要安排好機票, 最好不要晚上到達. 提早些少行程以免 jet leg.   Google 埋喺邊度搭車, 再給他一個手提電話, 有問題隨時聯絡.  去得大學 interview, 段估英文都無問題, 咁都 handle 唔到, 無可能吧?

旅程安排得好一定有得著(emoji)(emoji)。
我都好鍾意去英國探阿仔，參與佢嘅學校生活，所以每年parent meeting 都去。五月mid term break 佢想留英預備考試我亦會飛過去照顧佢。但亦因為咁用哂d大假！所以要計過度過先決定邊次去邊次唔去。

阿仔有兩個同學收到reject letter. 阿仔話學校往年約1/2有得int

希望好快聽到妳有好消息，最好一齊做埋同學。

btw，我小朋友已經睇緊 youtube cambridge interview，佢話睇完好驚，妳叫小朋友去 youtube search 吓。

幾位JM加油噢,有真實體驗，幫到手嘅分享，唔難聽得出。
有家長去也好，自己一個去也好，有心去劍橋，何防預多兩三日時間，參觀一下大學城其他學院，如跌落Pool 也有個實地了解其他學院環境，大老遠飞過去，順便去UCAS其他心水大學走走也好，通常有劍橋interview,也好大機會有其他大學Con offer。

相信有機會會被問 PS 內提及 work experience 一環。再想請教你們會點答呢個問題 :-

事情係咁既，她曾於一英資大 chambers 做 work experience 但當時她每天只是被安排到 supreme court [齋睇] 人哋打官司，日日如是，根本未安排任何工作，甚至影印，看似無任何 contribution（對我哋黎講當然係預咗），但點樣喺 interview 內講得好聽啲，唔好被覺得掉走妳免得阻手阻腳？

歡迎任何發表，謝謝。

Tell the interviewers what you have learnt from observing the litigation taking place in the court. What particular case interests you and why, and reflect on how you would handle a particular point in a case if you were acting for the plaintiff or defendant etc. How you treasure the exposure gained from this internship experience...
