Mike: I'm Mike and I come from Yixing in China. I was a little confused when I first arrived at Seaford College as almost all the pupils were English and I struggled to communicate with them. But when the classes started I found the teachers were very friendly. I worked hard and, six months later, there is no barrier to my progress in English. Now, I am having a great time!
Nicole: I am Nicole and i come from Hong Kong. I decided to come to England to learn English better and to find out about English culture. I knew English quite well in Hong Kong but at the beginning it was difficult to understand the English Students here. Now I can understand everyone easily and my speaking is getting better every day. I really enjoy going on trips at weekends.
Jack: My name is Jack and I have been studying at Seaford College for over 18 months. Last year, I concentrated on my GCSE's and on improving my English. Now I'm doing 6th Form, My favourite subject is Maths. I really like the breakfast here, It's much better than Lunch!
Miriam: This is my first time to England and I have only been studying at Seaford College for a term, I was studying in Australia before, so that helped my English a lot. I soon got used to the school in the weeks after I arrived. I find the teachers and the students are really friendly and I'm definitely enjoying studying in England.
