ESL language center

Since this holiday is a long one, therefore i decided to brush up my english as i was weak at my languages..at first i went to cambrigde but the courses werent suitable for me...then my mother recomended me ESL language center...she urged me to ask about the courses and start it immediately...so on my birthday i went to the subang branch to ask for further information..
Soon, they asked me to take on the level test to see which level to put me in...surprisingly i was at the highest level..so they said that i have to go to PJ branch as they do not offer the highest level classes here...therefore under my determination to study, my parents brought me there...i went for the one day trial and at the end of the day, the academic adviser said that the highest level will not be suitable for me as those things they are studying now, i could handle it very well...so she recomended me a few books to study on my own...

However, although it is only a one day trial, i think i have learnt alot...the class that i was in consists of many different countries' student...they are from korea,china,arab and many more...since everyone has different mother language,we can only communicate with english...therefore it is very obvious that ELS has a very good environment to study english...people there was very friendly and helpful as i joined the class half way through...they tried to help me out with the lessons,brought me to the canteen and also the ICT room plus showing me where was the toilet...they were really great people..i could see how different countries people live under the same roof...

But one thing that i understand is that student who went abroad to study was facing a very big emotion..their thinking is abit different from the locals..deep down inside their heart, i could feel those sadness and loneliness being apart from their family...how much they hope that they could go home or their parents could just fly over to pay them a short visit...they really do miss their home alot especially during festive seasons...children being apart from home are really facing a very strong emotion...no wonder many of them get themselves into drugs and smoking...hope that they coulde handle their emotions well and being at the correct route...

time to study and sleep...
