“Butterfly Method” Analysis：
The Portuguese School has been established for more than 20 years. It gives the students a lot of deep memories and the best time, because The Portuguese School is the place where they grow up. Nowadays, The Portuguese School is not only accepting Macanese, but also accept the students from different countries and the students who are not familiar with Portuguese. The interviewees indicated that they are still able to keep in touch with their teachers and other students. In the future, all of the interviewees hope that the Portuguese school can be retained and not be demolished, as it is one of the few buildings in Macau that has Portuguese characteristics.
葡文學校已成立超過20年，在過去給了學生很多深刻的回憶和最美好的時光，因為葡
文學校是陪著他們成長的地方。現在，學校不單只是錄取土生葡人，也錄取不同國家的學生和沒有受葡語教學的學生。受訪者仍能和他們的老師和其他學生保持聯系。未來，大家希望葡文學校仍能保留，不被拆除，因為學校是少數仍然保留著葡式特色的建築。
