After passing the exams successfully, Arina continued her language training, moving from the elementary group to the advanced one. The progress in learning Chinese is obvious: Arina came to China with HSK 2 level of Chinese, and at the end of June she successfully passed the HSK 4 exams! She has already received a certificate for successful completion of the internship and excellent studies, and on July 5th she will receive her remaining diplomas and report cards at a ceremony.
