My name is Khamit. I have been studying for 3 months at Kaplan Aspect (Pre-master course). So, within this period I have gotten some knowledge about Business and IELTS skills. Also, I was obtaining some language support lessons. It is quite difficult to reach a conclusion about this college however I am tempted to say that during the time which I have been in College, I achieved almost everything that I planned. So I want to emphasize here that there was a huge number of foreign students who helped me to achieve a great improvement in speaking skills. Additionally, there are many qualified teachers who are always ready to help you. However, there are some rules that you have to mainly follow after. The biggest advantage in Bournemouth is location because it is situated next to the ocean. It has remarkable appearance! On the other hand, there are some weaknesses in facilities. In fact, it is too small a city and there is a huge quantity of elderly people, hence, industry of entertainment has a medium level. Also, it is quite expensive to rent some accommodation in comparison with other parts of the UK. To sum up, if you come here to obtain just some knowledge, it would be the right place. But, if you want to get social experience, it would be a little bit boring. However, it is just my point of view.

I've been learning english since I was 6. I learned almost everthing about the grammar, butIi couldn't speak. I've never spoken with someone in english. But once I arrived here I started to speak it, well I was forced to do it, and now I can keep a good conversation with someone. I've met many friends and it's incredible and really funny going out with school mates from different countries. What about teachers? They are very very funny as well! I've improved and at the same time enjoyed a lot! Bournemouth is a very beautiful city (or town, even now I can't understand what the difference is), and the school is not so far from my homestay...every day I can choose if catch the bus or go on foot! Well not really every day because as you know here it is always raining. I've been here during the period of winter, that's why they didn't promote lots of activities, they should do more things, they might promote inside sports. Fortunately I've been staying in the most beautiful homestay ever! I've improved a lot also with them.

First I was in an afternoon class but after a week I changed. I just couldn't listen to the lessons. The morning classes' teachers (the first two) was a bit bad. I learnt present perfect for two weeks, that was really boring. The best teacher was the entensive's. I really liked it. I've never bored. Inshort it was a great holiday for me and I happy with it.
