夏休みの旅行も兼ねて短期留学して来ました^^

トーキーは港町なので海のすぐそばです。
アガサクリスティ誕生の地という事でアガサクリスティにまつわる名所や
博物館などあって、推理小説好きの方にはいいんじゃないかと思います。
学校はこじんまりとしていて、フレンドリーな感じです。
中庭にはプールもあり、使用出来ます。
海がすぐそばなのでプールで泳ぐ人はあまりいませんでしたが。
授業は会話や文法、リスニングなど満満遍なく取り込まれた授業だと思います。
短期間でも色々なことを学べましたし、クラスメイトと仲良くなって
国際的な友達が出来たのが良かったと思っています。

我也來暑假出國留學^ ^
託基是一個港口城市,因此它非常靠近大海。
作為阿加莎克里斯蒂的出生地,阿加莎克里斯蒂的景點和地方
有博物館等。我認為這對那些喜歡偵探故事的人來說很有好處。
學校很小,很友善。
庭院裡有游泳池,可以使用。
因為海邊就在附近,游泳池裡游泳的人並不多。
我認為在整個對話,語法,聽力等課程中都會教授課程。
我可以在短時間內學到很多,與我的同學相處融洽
我認為有國際朋友是很好的。
