Welcome everyone. I'm Canadian but living in Scotland. The last time I studied anything was forty years ago … I'm a bit nervous! Good luck, everyone!

Hello. I'm so happy to be doing this course. I've finished two other online courses this year so I'm looking forward to my third. I'm from Vietnam by the way. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hi! Looks like I'm the first one here so … hi to everyone who joins the course and nice to meet you! Good luck with the course and see you in the next lesson!

Tips

1. Keep your introduction short and clear.

2. Say hello and give a little bit of information about yourself. Don’t say anything too private or personal.

3. You can say what you hope to get or learn.

4. Wish people good luck.

5. You don’t have to write full sentences.

6. You might use more exclamation marks (!) than in formal writing because it looks friendly.

I like to take remote classes because I can learn on my own way. If I learn remotely I can plan my day better.I wish everyone good luck! I took my last online course a year ago before my parental leave.

I like to study online because there are more flexibility and I can more be focus.

I like how I meet people from different countries and cultures and also I like how you can study something in your home rather than going thousands of miles to study it

Hi everyone , I hope to improve my conversation skills to be confident in speaking to communicate of people .

Yes, I like to read online. It's very convenient to study in home in a room. There is very good environment to study in my room. I go to out only giving exam.

Studying online that I don't need to dress up or make up and I feel really comfortable when I learn in my personal space. In addition, studying online doesn't require me to go so far to study at school.
Please correct my grammar if I was wrong somewhere.

You are write. No grammar mistakes.

Online learning is very convenient, you can study anytime, anywhere. The main advantage is that it is very flexible and can save a lot of time. Imagine that you do not need to go to a special location to attend a class. This is really important for those who have a family and need to take care of their children. Another benefit of studying online is that you can keep your job while studying. It is not easy for a working people to quit his job and study full-time. If you take online courses, you can keep both your work and study. You can also choose overseas online courses, so you do not need to leave your friends, your family and your current life.
