Would you like to study in the UK?
Yes, I would like to study in the UK, since that way I learn more English and its culture.
Absolutely! I am planning to take a post-graduate course in the UK, and this is the strongest reason why I have been studying English really hard lately. I aim to take the IELTS exam early next year and I am targeting myself to achieve high scores for each section of the test because the university that I am looking for is required above band 7 in overall.
I would like to sudy in the UK because I like the universities of there and the quality of training. There, I could learn more on my skills. I love the places I would like to improve my english level. The university where I would like to study is the University of Birmingham for a MSc in Health, Safety and Environment Management.
