Looking back over the past 2 years, I was just an English illiterate college student who found studying at University extremely demanding since most of the documents were written in English and ,of course, they were all entirely beyond my comprehension. However, my life took a turn for the better when I was provided a priceless chance to attend Edniche English School.

This, it seemed, was an inspiring speech that pushed me to the extreme. I went to school on a daily basis with hope of becoming more competent in English and having a brighter future. Although adversities were inevitably encountered along the way to success, with the shared learning environment, comfortable atmosphere, and inspiring and highly experienced teachers, not only have I managed to flourish in my academic life , but I have also acquired a lot of knowledge regarding a vast range of different fields. As a result, after finishing the Guaranteed General English Program (GGEP) in October,2017, I obtained 6.5 for the overall IELTS band score.
