What the students say
What do the students have to say about studying in Australia? Five students from GEOS Queensland College of English, Brisbane ISPC Sydney, and Regent ELC Port Douglas tell us why they chose to study in Australia.
Hello! My name is Dyanne, I am from Korea. I study English because I want to be a good English teacher and teach children in Korea. I came to Australia because I want new experiences. I have achieved Level 4 in IELTS, but I have to study harder to achieve a higher score to be able to study in University. Most of my friends have studied in Korea, but I don't think that is a good way. If we want to study English well, we should study abroad.
Hi. My name is Nejka Pintaric from Slovenia. I'm doing a marketing internship in Australia. I think there are two main reasons for doing an internship. One is because a lot of universities require an internship, so the students have to do it. On the other hand, there are a lot of young people who do an internship to get work experience and improve the language, all on a voluntary basis. There are all kinds of different internships on offer. For myself I was looking for something in marketing. I think there is something for everyone!
I was in Australia before, and I just love the country. In Sydney you have so many things to do; it is never boring. Because I am a surfer, Australia was the perfect choice for me to combine working during the week on one side and surfing on weekends on the other side.
My name is Heinz Schoch and I teach French and English at a Swiss high school. I am glad to have the benefit of two great things at the same time: dynamic, innovative teaching and a stunning location - tropical rainforest and the coral reef. And you can have a swim between classes as an extra bonus - the school is five minutes' walk to the beautiful white-sand beach.
Hi! I am Cristianne Schmidt from Brazil. I study English because English is the international language, so it's necessary for my job to work with exporting beef. I came to Australia because it is the best country to sell beef, so I want to work and learn about the knowledge here to run my business. Most of my friends have studied in general English, some in Cambridge and others are in business and marketing. A lot of places are very similar with Brazil.
Hello, my name is Akiko. I am from Japan. I study English because I want to speak English well and make a lot of friends. The reason that I came to Australia is because a lot of my friends live here and I like Brisbane; it is a beautiful city. The weather is fine here. I like summer and winter most because in summer, I can go to the beach, and in winter, I don't need to wear a jacket because it is not so cold.
