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.
