Studying in Canada
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. It’s a language school in Vancouver. 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 people. The principal is Canadian, 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 really fun. José and Karl
are probably my best friends in the class. José is Mexican,
and he’s from Mexico City. Karl is from Berlin, in
