"This experience allowed me to be less shy and more confident about my own self"

Miti Maucotel, student from French Polynesia

The first day, was the orientation day, during this day I made new friend from all around the word. I also visited the entire campus with the head teacher, he showed us all de facilities. For my first day, I had a communication class, it was very interesting, the teacher as my classmates were very friendly and welcoming. I above all learnt several things, useful for the all day life. During the lunch time I didn't have enough time to go out with my parents to have lunch. Nevertheless, it allowed me to go to the cafeteria and get along with new people, I made new friends. I really liked this place, it was very entertaining, it is a place where you can meet people from divers countries and religion. The last two days I had speaking class, and as entitled, it was more speaking than writing. There were activities, in which you have to discus about many topics with your group, and after share with the entire class. Over all, this experience was very cool and allowed me to practice and improve my English.
