I know someone who has studied abroad. That person is my best friend and he is called Manuel.
ReplyDeleteHe always had wanted to study abroad and last year he decided to go and spend his first course of high school in Edinburgh.
He had a very good level of English before he went but when he returned he sounded like a native person. I talked on the phone with him almost everyday. At first he didn’t felt really comfortable because he didn’t know anyone and he was a bit shy. But during the first month he met a lot of people with similar interests.
When he was finishing the course he told me that he didn’t want to come because he spent there the best year of his life. I felt a bit sad because he wasn’t interested in returning but I understood that this experience should be amazing.
Finally we have decided that we will study in an university of USA. I am sure that we will learn a lot but specially we will meet a lot of people at the classes and parties.
I have a friend who is 18, her name is Natalia and she’s from Seville.
ReplyDeleteShe moved to Ireland 2 months ago, because her mother found a job that she loved it in that place. Then my friend and her sisters had to move to a small village near the town of Belfast.
My friend told me that initially she was scared because they didn’t know anyone or anywhere and she hasn’t had time to makes friend, but 1 month ago I called her and she said that now she has a lot of friends from her new high school and she and her family are so happy and integrated.
In other words, they are living a very exciting experience and they will never forget it. They are discovering the differences between both cultures and they love it
Finally, in the same situation I think that I would do the same things than her, because I think that is a good opportunity for learn languages and meet more people and places, it’s an interesting form to change your life. Last, I would love to live a similar experience.
My uncle went abroad to America 18 years ago,he wanted to improve his level of English and he went to Puerto Rico because he was able to speak both languages there,he was there for 1 year and after he returned to Spain.
ReplyDeleteWhen he came back to Spain to start his dream,work as a pilot,then he began his pilot studies.He finished the studies 4 years later and got a job in Spain for 10 years when he acquired a lot of experience,finally the company went bankrupt and my uncle went to England to find a new job and change his life,gradually he have found the job and his girlfriend who work in the same company.
Nowadays he is living in England with his girlfriend and with a excellent level of English and sometimes he came to Spain to visit the family.
I know someone who went abroad to improve her English. Her name is Mónica and is my cousin.
ReplyDeleteShe needed her B2 English certificate to finish her University studies. Instead of going to a language schools, she decided to work as an au-pair in Dublin and she was there from September to June. She was studying English to prepare her B2 certificate.
Although she was really happy there, she didn’t like her job so when she passed her exam, she came home.
Nowadays, she had finished all of her studies and she is working in a very important international company in Madrid doing what she loves.
My cousin Rosalina went abroad last year for studies. She is an excellent student and when she finished her grade of engineering at University of Milan with pretty good marks, she decided to continue studying her doctorate abroad.
ReplyDeleteShe was accepted in a lot of qualified Universities in different countries but finally she chose University of Toronto. I remember that she couldn’t make up her mind choosing so many universities but she wanted to improve her english skills and Canada was the best option.
She told me that at first she was very nervous to live alone and without any family, but as everybody who knows her, we are sure that she wouldn’t have problems to make friends and that was how she did it. All of us are proud of her and I hope one day I can be like her.

My stepsister finished Bachillerato six years ago. When she finished, she decided she wanted to study tourism at the university of Seville. But before she started, she went abroad one year to London to improve her English. She worked as an au pair there. At the same time she was working, she was studying English at an academy too.
ReplyDeleteShe had an awesome time there and told us that everyone has to go abroad at least once in their lives because it is an unforgettable experience. And guess what? Nowadays she still talks with the boy she used to take care of!
At present she is studying her third year of career at Tenerife, so she is studying abroad again!
I would love to do the same she did. I think it would be an amazing experience and I would learn a lot. In my opinion, when you go abroad, you don’t only learn the idiom, you also learn the habits, and see how other people live.
However this is just a dream right now, but I will do my best to go abroad someday!

One year ago, one of my best friends thought that he wanted to improve his English and he decided go to England and study there his next school year, so he went.
ReplyDeleteHe stayed there all school year and he likes the experience very much, but he didn't spend the time as he thought that he would.
He miss his family and friends all time, but especially the weather. He miss the sun more
than the other things, because there was rain all time, and in Spain normally the sun shines every day. Also, he never could go out with his friends to play football or do all the things that he did here in Spain.
But everything didn't goes wrong, he met people from different countries and learnt differents cultures.
One of my sister's friend, who is called Julia, went to Düsseldorf, Germany, because of an Erasmus. She is studying the fourth year of journalism and telecommunication at Seville University. Last year she had the chance to do the third year of her studies in Germany.
ReplyDeleteShe stayed with a Germany family and with a Spanish friend and she says that it was an amazing experience. She told us that Germany is a very nice place, but Germans are not that nice. She said that they are as cold as there weather.
She met a boy there and she fell in love with him. Now they are living together in Seville, but they want to move to Germany when Julia finishes her studies, because she is not only in love with her boyfriend, also with the city.
If I have the occasion, I would like to go to Prague to study Law. It would be a great experience, in addition I love learn other cultures, other lifestyles, etc, and I think it is the best way to do it.
