Bye Jenny!

Bye bye Jenny!!!
Don't be angry , it's just a friendly way Italians call you.
Good luck for everything!

Thanksssssssss!!!

My Future here

I'm happy now because , I've felt better with my English, for example ... when I'm speaking with other parents , with my neighbours and different people in this country , I can explain to them my ideas, problems, questions and so on. I think , it was a important step in my life but surely I've recognized my mistakes and faults . My family and I, we'll stay here next year as well , so I have more time to study and perhaps I'll start another course such as photography, painting, dancing or somethings nice for me. Also I want to look for a job , I like to spend more time with my little boy , my husband , my friends and of course me. I 'd like to travel to other countries and I 'll have a good time in England. On balance, every day was interesting and funny for me and my future , it will be nice as well. Many thanks and good luck to all over course .

My plans

Additional to staying in England I'll look for a part time job. I'm planing to take a Short vacation to Bristol and Bath this weekend and I'll go to Holland at Easter. I'll continue practising English speaking with the family with whom I live and keep practicing with all the material I have.

No Plans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This second term is finishing in two days and I still can't believe it! When you are having a really good time, minutes, days and months pass so quickly that it's almost impossible to realize the time's passing.

This term was wonderful: first of all I changed my room at the beginning of January and eventually I have found a good flat, where you can cook something if you want and where you can meet kind people, patient people whom you can talk with!!

Then I really enjoyed my English class and I think that my English may have improved (I hope so!!!!!!!!!).

I will stay here next term as well and I hope that it would be as good as this one at least. After the end of the term I'm going to Wales with some friends of mine: I think it could be a good occasion to speak English(these friends of mine are all from different countries) and to visit England because I haven't travelled a lot this term.

After this short trip I will go back to Italy for one week and then here again but with my KoB(at least for 10 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

Then the holidays will finish and we will start another term but now I feel more confident than the other one: now I'm a little bit sad that this experience is going to end so soon but before, in Christmas, I was so scared of continuing with the Erasmus in this country where obviously all speak English apart from me!

Anyway I still have three months to spend here in Brighton and I will do everything that I can to make them wonderful....without forgetting lessons of course!

Bye bye Jenny(don't get angry...it's just a friendly way in which Italians call you!) and thank you very much for everything!!!!!!!!!!
Goodbye everyone!!!!!!!!! :-)

the end...







The period of english course is finished, I learnt English in an intensive way, so I think that this language course abroad was very beneficial for me because today, in my country speaking English is very important to find a job in the business branch for example.


My French school is a business school and it grants an importance for learning English because it's an international business school.


Now, I am going to go back to France and continue my course in my business school. We are in the first school year and we need to study two more years but we can study two years more to get a masters.


In the third quarter, we will have some courses in English to try to keep our level and also improve it. Then I will try to learn English intensively watching English films and reading English books I think it's a good way to improve our English.


I'm very sad that the term is already finished, but I'm obliged to go back to France because I have to finish my courses in the business school. I really enjoyed the University of Sussex and the students because the mentality of the English is very different from that of the French. When I am going to go back to France, I think that I will listen English radio and watch a lot of movies in English because I don't want to lose all the good things that I learnt here. Moreover, I don't want to go back to France because I am used to life here and I prefer the life here more than in France.
I'd really like to come back in Brighton because it is a very beautiful city.
To conclude, Brighton will remain for me one of the best experiences of my life.

The future


Well, tomorrow is the last day of the term. I have the impression I arrived yesterday in Brighton. Time flew very quickly. I came with the objective of improving my English, but I made new friends too. Actually before coming I didn't expect it. In fact, this is the beauty of the life: things happen while you are doing other things.
Next Monday I'm going to Dubai, in the UAE. I'll try finding a new job in this city. Concerning my English, I'll practice "in the real life". In the University of Sussex I took a solid basis and for my job I'll practice and improve more and more.
I'd like to thank my teachers for the quality of this course.
Bye bye Jenny (don't get angry, it's just a friendly way Italians call you ;-)

Go back in France

Tomorrow is the last day of the term for many people but not for French people, we must stay one week more.
So, we are going back the following Saturday!
I think everybody is excited about going home. I am going back in Montlucon on Saturday evening.
Personally, I'm really impatient to see my parents, my brother, my boyfriend and all my friends!!
But, unfortunately, I will not have time to rest : the courses restart on Monday!
So my plans for the next months : studies
But I have also plans to see my friends and go out with them!
Moreover, I need to find a work placement for the end of the third term. With regards to practising English, I have English courses all Monday morning so I hope I won't forget my English too much.

English.....

Today for me is the end of Spring term because I am going to leave for Italy this afternoon.
The Intensive English's course has been very interesting and useful for me because the teacher has motivated me to study and also because my classmates are very funny and I have taken pleasure in attending class every morning .
My plan now ,in order to continue to improve English, is to try reading some books and watch some movies in English.
Next month I am going to come back here and consequently I want attend Intensive English course and also CAE course .
My principal objective is to try speaking English fluenty and I think that next term could be better for me to find a job in order to stay in direct contact with native speaking people.

Good luck everybody!!!

THE END!


Now that the course is over, I'm going back to France.

I was here only for one term, because during my first year in my business school, I had to spent 3 months abroad, in an English country.

This term was very useful for me, I think that my level in English has increased and I'm rather happy!
From the 31st of March, I'm going to have a lot of courses, and I think that in addition to English courses, we are going to have other courses in English.
That's very important to practise my English.
Because my mother speaks English very well, I can sometimes speak with her.
Moreover, in summer I have to work for 1 month in a company, to have a profesional experience.
So, the next few months will be very busy.
But I want to go back to France!
I miss France a lot.
Goodbye England, Welcome to France :)

To begin with, I feel sad to go back in France simply because a lot of work is waiting for me. This term was perfect thanks to the location and the campus which are very easy to access and moreover has helped me to improve my English language. So I hope for the next few months to keep motivated and go on learning English after going back to France. Normally, when the courses will go on in France I will have some English courses and I think I will read some books in English and continue to watch movies and tv shows in English. So finally, I really hope to keep studying and that going back to France won't be too different than here simply because it's going to be the french life...
