Studying in the UK

A student at King’s School tells us what she likes about her English course.

My name’s Carmen García and I’m a student at King’s School, which is a language school in Glasgow. I’m Spanish, from Madrid, but my mother is French. She’s a teacher in Madrid. The students at King’s School are from many different countries. I’m in a class which has students from Japan, Mexico, Germany, and Italy. It’s really interesting to meet so many different people. The director of the school is British, but my teacher is American. She’s from New York and her name’s Helen. She’s very nice and she’s an excellent teacher. Her classes are always great fun. José and Karl are probably my best friends in the class. José is from Mexico and Karl is from Berlin, in Germany. We always speak

English together because that’s the best way to learn.

Hi Maria

Do you remember me? My name’s Ben Sanders, I’m twenty-nine, and I’m British. I live in a small flat in north London and I work as a secretary for a big computer company in central London.

I travel to work on the underground, but I often work at home. I don’t smoke, but I drink a lot of coffee!

What else can I tell you about myself? My family live in Brighton, on the south coast of England. I have one brother and one sister. My brother works as a waiter and my sister’s a nurse. Their names are Harry and Liz. My parents are both teachers.

I love sport. I play football and basketball a few times a month and I watch all the best matches on TV. My favourite food is Mexican. I’m very lucky because my brother works in a Mexican restaurant, so I eat there when I visit my family. I study Italian in my free time because one day I want to live in Italy.

Please write and tell me about yourself.

CouchSurfing – a different kind of travel
experience

by
Emma Jackson

I love travelling abroad, but two years ago I
didn’t have much cash
to spend on my holiday. At first, I was planning to go camping again, but then
a friend suggested an alternative:
CouchSurfing. I had no idea what that was, so she explained. ‘CouchSurfers’ are
people who stay as guests
in other people’s homes for
free, and visit the
sights in the local area. You can do the things that most tourists do,
like sunbathing on the beach or sightseeing in the town centre. Or your host could give you a
language lesson, teach you how to cook local delicacies, or take you to places that visitors
never find. It sounded much more fun than my other holidays, so I joined the
website and sent emails to about twenty hosts in France and Spain right away.

A few days later, I already had ten replies.
After a week or two of emails, I made arrangements with four hosts in three
different cities. I’m quite talkative
and they seemed very friendly, so I wasn’t concerned about spending time with strangers. Two
weeks later, I was arriving in Paris, and meeting my first host, Claudette.

Over the next ten days, I stayed in four very
different homes, improved
my foreign languages, and made some great new friends. Sometimes the places
where I stayed were basic – a sofa to sleep on, or even just a floor, but
sometimes they were luxurious – much nicer than the hostels that I usually go
to. I think it was probably the cheapest and most interesting holiday I’ve ever
had!

I’ve done CouchSurfing again twice
since then: in Italy, and here in the UK. I’ll definitely do it again. In fact,
I’m going on a trip to South America next year. And I’ve had five visitors at
my place, including Claudette. I’ve discovered that hosting is as much fun as exploring a new place. CouchSurfing
is a fantastic experience. Try it some time!

started CouchSurfing because she wanted to save money.
