There were many things that Morris enjoyed about the volunteers being there. He liked their lessons compared to the normal lessons describing them as fun. He loved the way that they were able to get involved in the lessons. He loved learning the new English songs and playing the new games. He loved learning new English words and phrases that the volunteers taught him.
