I am in the EFS class. I like the teacher because she is so polite and helpful to the students. And I noticed that all the students are friendly and intelligent. We did some activities in the class like reading, listening, writing, and we discussed about blogs. I would like to learn about blogs. And the teacher told all students to create their own blogs and  write about the class.
 
I have chosen this course to help me with English speaking and studying in the future.
My aim is I become a nurse in the future so I will study at the University of Sydney.
