I’ve been learning English at Jiahua for a long time. Actually, I found that it’s a good thing for me. Although, the tuition is much higher than I spent in my college, I felt that I actually able to use what I’ve learned to improve myself. I remembered before taking English exams, never passing them. I don't know why, I picked up the impulse to start or the idea of learning English. Maybe, it was my search on the internet, where I found Jiahua language school. After I talked to the customer service on the internet, then I went to Jiahua School. My first impression of it is still very good, because it is in in the city center, convenient transportation， and a beautiful environment. These are some of the reasons I choose to come to Jiahua. When I first started at Jiahua my English was not very good, so I started to take CB2 classes. My first class was pronunciation with Joe. I have never spoken with foreigners before. When I faced Joe, I don't know what I should say, in fact, I couldn’t say anything and I was very nervous. After several months of learning I have upgraded to CC4 level. My English is better than before, and every day I see foreigners and chat is normal. I’m still working to fully express my thinking. In Jiahua my favorite class is English Corner with Philip. His English Corners are fun and we often learn to gossip, and it often becomes the main topic. In fact, I also gossip about other students. But what I like most about his lessons is that he would often call me on the stage, this is good for improving my speaking. At the same time I also know a lot of students in Jiahua. Everyone is ambitious, self-motivated, are all very good, especially in Jiahua. I knew a few crazy girls, I won’t say their name, but they also quite good, we sometimes go out to spend time with each other and have dinner, it was great. Now, I only have a few months of courses left. The time I have left makes me feel a lot of pressure, because I still feel like my English could be better, so i hope this year i will get better, and all of us can come and hard study together.

Franciscan friars established Mission Nuestra Señora de la PurÃsima Concepción de Acuña (also Mission Concepcion) in 1716 as Nuestra Señora de la PurÃsima Concepción de los Hainais in East Texas. The mission was originally meant to be a base for converting the Hasinai to Catholicism and teaching them what they needed to know to become Spanish citizens. The friars moved the mission in 1731 to San Antonio. After its relocation most of the people in the mission were Pajalats who spoke a Coahuiltecan language. Catholic Mass is still held every Sunday.
On October 28, 1835, Mexican troops under Colonel Domingo Ugartechea and Texian insurgents led by James Bowie and James Fannin fought the Battle of Concepción here. Historian J.R. Edmondson describes the 30-minute engagement as "the first major engagement of the Texas Revolution."
Mission Concepcion consists of a sanctuary, nave, convento, and granary. When originally built, brightly painted frescos decorated both the exterior and interior of the building. Traces of the frescoes still exist on the weathered facade of the building. Experts restored some of the artwork on the interior ceilings and walls of the convento in 1988. The Archdiocese of San Antonio completed another restoration of the mission's interior in 2010 which exposed more frescoes in the sanctuary and nave.
Located at 807 Mission Road, Concepción is the best preserved of the Texas missions. It was designated a National Historic Landmark on April 15, 1970 and is part of San Antonio Missions National Historical Park. In 2015, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization designated Concepción and four other San Antonio missions, including The Alamo, as a World Heritage Site, the first in Texas and one of twenty-three such establishments in the United States.
The western entrance to the church is aligned to the sunset in such a way that an "annual double solar illumination event" occurs every year on or around August 15, the feast day of the Assumption of Mary.
