I’m studying English language because
I want to improve my English to get 7.0 in IELTS.
At the moment my English is around band
5.0, so I need to work hard to get that score. I need it for my PHD studies. I
study in the morning but most of the students are Arabic.
My teacher’s name is Maureen, she is an
English lady. She tells me that my English is ok, but I have to work hard to
get 7.0 in IELTS.
Maureen gives us a lot of homework,
so in the afternoons I always go to the library to do same writing and grammar practice.
In the library I met Mahmood who’s form Iraq, he is in my class and he told me
that he lives with an English family. He
has one son and one daughter. Mr Kendall and his wife help him to improve his
English as much as they can. They are very polite people, as Mahmood told me,
he loves them very much.
My name is Sarah, I was born in Riyadh on November
29th in 1988. I have three sisters and one brother and I’ve lived
with my family all my life in the same house. I studied Radiology at King Saud
University Collage of Applied Medical Sciences. After completing my degree I
specialised in General Ultrasound.
Now I work as a teaching assistant at the same
collage I graduated from. On September 27th in 2014, I got married
to Ahmed and we had a wonderful time on our honeymoon.
After that we
decided to complete our education in the UK but first I have to improve my
English language so we can complete a master’s degree in the field of Medical Imaging.
In my free time, I usually go shopping, cook or
watch TV at home. I wish I could bring my family to Manchester because I really
miss them, especially my niece Deema. She is 7 months old and I really would
like to see her when she walks for the first time.
My name is Subin, I'm from Korea and I’m 20 years old. I’m a
student of UNIST University in Korea. I’m studying Design & Human
Technology. We learn for example how to make a chair more comfortable. After I
finish this term, I will go back to my university. All classes will be in
English so I hope that experience in Manchester helps me. My dream is to do
well in English so that's why I'm here I'm staying with a host family while I’m
here.
I have a mother, a
father and a 5 years younger sister. My sister was born in 2000. My sister's
hobby is similar to mine so we’re very close. We live in an apartment which has
25 floors. Most people live in flats like that. I’m happy with my life. I hope
that only good things happen to me.
I’m Ahmeed from Iraq. I completed my master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at a university in India. After I finished my study, I worked as a quality control engineer in a petroleum engineering corporation company in Al-ahdeb.
In the future I’d like to do a PhD in Mechanical Engineering
– Nano-field. I hope to finish my studies in this field and come back to my
country. I like this specialization because it is a part of my job in the oilfield.
I don’t like being alone because I’m social and I want to
make friends in Manchester, especially with British people to and
improving my English language .
I’m married to an Iraqi girl. Her name is Roaa and I have
one daughter. Her name is Mian. I feel homesick now because I’m living in the UK
and my family is in Iraq.
HI,
I’m Hasna. I’m 26 years old. I come from Saudi Arabia in the Middle East. I lived in Makkah for a long time with my
family before I moved to Riyadh the
capital of my country. In 2011 I did a Master’s in Educational Leadership at King
Saud University. It is one the best university’s in the world. In 2013 I got a Master’s degree. I have a
daughter called Maya, I love this name and I like having a girl.
In 2014 I worked as a lecturer at Prince
Salman University. I had a good time teaching
and it was an interesting experience. In 2015 I move to Manchester in the UK to
study English language, because it’s an international language. I hope to
complete my PHD at Manchester University with a good result. At the moment all I
think about is my English and how to improve
it and how I can take advantage of my time here.
I like to watch horror films. I live here with
my husband and my son Maher in a cute house on a quiet street. I dislike
housework, but I know I need to do it. I like everything here expect the
weather. It is very cold.
My name is Kairat. I`m a student and I’m studying
English language at ULC. I come from Kazakhstan. In Kazakhstan I live my
family, my parents and my little sister. I miss them very much. My father is a
doctor at the Central Hospital of Astana and my mum is a music teacher. My
sister graduated in 2014 and she’s currently looking for a job.
In Kazahstan I live in the capital city of Astana.
Astana is a young city. Our President Nursultan Nazarbayev moved our capital from
Almaty in 1998. I think Astana is a very beautiful city. There are a lot of
young people and we work together to make sure our country develops further.
I’m very happy that our President is Nazarbayev, because he is very intelligent
and patient.
I studied Finance at the Kazakh Agro-Technical
University. I graduated in 2009. After graduation I couldn’t find a job in my
field for a long time due to the economic crisis. At the time many people were without work.
At
first I began to work in the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan,
as an assistant in the Budget planning Department. Since 2012 I’ve worked in
the Ministry of national economy as an Expert of Tax-Customs policy Department.
The work is very interesting. In the nearest future I want to improve my
English and after courses I would like to study a master’s degree in Public
Administration at one of the best universities in the UK.
After graduation I’d like to go back
to Kazakhstan and work for the government. I hope to improve my country’s economic
situation and fight corruption.
I like sport, for example football, gym and water sports.
I also like reading interesting books of Russian classics. When I master English,
I’d like to learn Spanish.

around the city but, I don’t like the weather – it’s always cold and rainy.
I am here with my close-knit family - my
wife and my little daughter. I find living here difficult, especially studying worrying
about my family. In my free time I surf the internet and sometimes design
logos, which makes me happy but it needs clean mind and concentration.

of hobbies. I like all kinds of sports, except tennis. I like swimming, football,
basketball and ride a horse riding. I also
