I choose Elizabeth School. Although the tuition fees are higher than those at Charles School, the quality of English classes seems to be good because the teacher's careers are high and there are also one-to-one classes. Also, I think it is good to be able to decide the classes time myself.

I would like to choose Charles School. I think the most important point to learn English is the what you can do and what you cannot do. I think language is very difficult and spend long time. So, you have to study one by one. So, I think Charles School is better. This school has three courses reading, writing and listening. I think it is good. It is because, you can know what you are good at and you are not good at. Sometimes you have a mistake. So, it can clearly. If you know, your English study will progress.

I choose Charles School. The first reason I chose is that the price is cheap. I am not good at 4 skills in English, so I would like to give priority to solidifying the foundation first. In the Elizabeth School, I thought that even though I spent a lot of money on studying English, I could not keep up with the classes. And the second reason is that the school encourages you to make friends and see England. I want to learn English and eventually communicate with people from various countries. To do this, we need to create an environment in which I can use English everyday because I have to make it usable, not English as knowledge. So it was very motivating to have friends with the same purpose of learning English.

I choose Elizabeth School. because I think this school is easier to study than another. Elizabeth School has high tuition fees. but I think that is easier to concentrate because I can take classes one-on-one,
I think quality is better than the amount of learning. So it's important to study higher. From these things I chose this school.

I might choose “Elizabeth School of English” because its courses have quite interesting contents than “Charles School”. At university I can learn basic skills like reading, writing, listening, speaking but, there are none or much less courses that contains English of a specific occupation. Also, because I’m interested in business. So, would like to learn about the field I’m interested in.

I would choose the Elizabeth School of English. There are two reasons. The first is to have a high-quality English course. If I have a chance to learn, I would like to choose a good one. Even if the price is high. It's also important to have good teachers. If I pay high money, I want to get good education.
The second is to choose a course that suits my purpose. I think this method is the most efficient way to study. We should study only what you need. From this point I would choose Elizabeth School of English. But it's important to study a lot regardless of which classroom I choose.
