I came here beause I want to improve my English. Before I came here I was worried about . My pronunication beause pronunciation is diffculf for me. The first in 26th June I went to school I was very excited it was my first time in my life in England. After I am very lucky beause I have the good teachers and they are very friendly , they teach very well and explain things very clearly to some days I study all day and some days I study half a day. Monday to Friday in the morning, I’m study Grammer, writing by teacher Tristan and next I’m study pronunciation and talking with teacher Jonny.
