What are your plans here in NZ?

To get a job. I’ve already got one in a care home (for the elderly). The school really helped me 100%. I could get to know people; they helped me with my language skills and I got more confident when speaking, listening and thinking in English.

What is it like here?

I like the teachers’ personalities; they are outgoing and very patient ; they always helped me. The school has a good method of teaching and the levels are good for each student.
Although Christchurch has been damaged by the earthquakes, around Christchurch there is very nice clean, green scenery where I enjoy spending time.

What are your plans for the future?

I would like to keep up my level of English. I’m going to work in a rest home in Christchurch and I want to learn the best way to do this job. I have 6 more months here and at the end we will decide if we want to stay.

What advice would you give someone coming to study here?

Please read books every day. Never stop studying English even if you have a headache from studying English!!
