A Profile of Loli from Mexico

I am nineteen years old and come from Mexico City. I am still at Secondary School. When I return to Mexico, I am planning to study International Relations because I'd like to work in a Travel Agency or something like that.

I came to Brighton because I'd rather study British English than American English. In Mexico, I was able to select between Cambridge and Brighton. I preferred Brighton to Cambridge because it is by the sea and nearer to London. At first, I was studying in another school but I wasn't making much progress. I then spoke to my landlady and she recommended the English Language Centre.

I'm so happy in the UK. I love the buildings, the streets, parks and the city of London. I think everything here is beautiful. The people aren't bad, like the food! I've met some very kind people at the ELC.

In my opinion, the courses are very good and the teachers also have a lot of experience. I think that my English has got better since I've been here. I've got to know people from different countries and I like being with them. Sometimes we go out all together, but sometimes people just stay with people from their own country.

On weekdays, I go to aerobics and study for about one hour after school. I also go to have a cup of coffee with some friends and we play pool. In the evenings, I go to the disco three of four times a week. I like walking around Brighton because I like looking at the shops and I think there are a lot of strange people.

I've been to London, Cambridge, Oxford and Canterbury. In London, I've visited a lot of museums, the Houses of Parliament etc. I love London. In my opinion, it's the most exciting place to visit, though the other places are also beautiful.
