My name is Nazym,
I'm 22 years old, I am from Kazakhstan. |
| 00:00:22 |
00:00:25 |
Hi, I'm Eva I'm from Taiwan,
I'm 22 years old |
| 00:00:26 |
00:00:29 |
I like Boston very much,
it's very beautiful, |
| 00:00:29 |
00:00:34 |
and it's awesome to live here.
It has a lot of old buildings. |
| 00:00:34 |
00:00:39 |
When I choose the Kaplan school
I wanted to be here, |
| 00:00:39 |
00:00:41 |
exactly in the Harvard Square.
|
| 00:00:41 |
00:00:44 |
Harvard is one of the most
prestigious University's in the world |
| 00:00:45 |
00:00:48 |
and students, although they're not
directly enrolled in Harvard |
| 00:00:48 |
00:00:52 |
they get to experience academic life
in a university setting that is Harvard. |
| 00:00:54 |
00:00:57 |
I think Kaplan is a very nice place
to learn English |
| 00:00:57 |
00:01:03 |
because the teachers here are very nice
and whenever you have questions |
| 00:01:03 |
00:01:05 |
they are always very helpful.
|
| 00:01:06 |
00:01:08 |
The one thing that I think makes
our teachers unique |
| 00:01:08 |
00:01:14 |
is they do have pretty strong backgrounds,
I think our teachers here are fun too, |
| 00:01:14 |
00:01:18 |
to make sure the students are really having
fun and learning at the same time. |
| 00:01:19 |
00:01:22 |
Here in the school they have a special rule
|
| 00:01:22 |
00:01:25 |
that you can't speak in your own
language here |
| 00:01:25 |
00:01:32 |
that's why it's very good it gives you
a lot of opportunity to improve it everyday. |
| 00:01:32 |
00:01:35 |
We have a lounge in the back
for students to hang out in |
| 00:01:35 |
00:01:38 |
and have coffee and do their work,
we have a computer lounge, |
| 00:01:38 |
00:01:42 |
it's a quiet computer lounge,
wifi throughout and also a language lab room |
| 00:01:42 |
00:01:44 |
where students can hook up
two special computers |
| 00:01:44 |
00:01:46 |
that are just for language learning.
|
| 00:01:47 |
00:01:51 |
I think most students really enjoy
the experience of the home stay. |
| 00:01:51 |
00:01:54 |
Which are families that live in the area
|
| 00:01:55 |
00:01:59 |
and I think the home stay
really is a lot more fun for students |
| 00:02:00 |
00:02:03 |
as they're getting to hang out
with these American families, |
| 00:02:03 |
00:02:07 |
it allows them to be in this intensive
English learning environment |
| 00:02:07 |
00:02:10 |
and I think that's an
exceptional choice for students |
| 00:02:11 |
00:02:13 |
and that's why they choose
home stay most of the time. |
| 00:02:14 |
00:02:19 |
Kaplan in Harvard Square, I like it
because everything is very convenient, |
| 00:02:19 |
00:02:23 |
we have coffee shops,
good restaurants and good music. |
| 00:02:24 |
00:02:27 |
'This is Peets coffee
we usually come here everyday |
| 00:02:27 |
00:02:30 |
and its in front of Kaplan
it's really really good.' |
| 00:02:36 |
00:02:40 |
Baseball is one of the most popular sports
here in the United States, |
| 00:02:41 |
00:02:45 |
I have heard a lot about the Red Sox
it's one of the famous teams. |
| 00:02:48 |
00:02:54 |
After finishing my studying here I make
a lot of friends from whole wide world, |
| 00:02:55 |
00:02:58 |
it's amazing!
I like Boston very much! |
