Hello I’m Amaia, from Spain |
| 00:00:16 |
00:00:18 |
Hi I’m Thomas Jud. I’m from Switzerland. |
| 00:00:22 |
00:00:26 |
Torquay is a really nice town,
there are beaches, there’s a habour |
| 00:00:26 |
00:00:29 |
and there’s lots of boats to see,
it’s great. |
| 00:00:30 |
00:00:34 |
My favourite to do here in Torquay
is I like to walk. |
| 00:00:34 |
00:00:37 |
The view on the sea is so nice
and wonderful. |
| 00:00:37 |
00:00:41 |
And you have good ways to go to the harbour
it’s only 15minutes |
| 00:00:42 |
00:00:47 |
and for the shopping centres
and so on it’s all in the near area. |
| 00:00:50 |
00:00:52 |
Students come to
Kaplan International Torquay, |
| 00:00:52 |
00:00:54 |
and they get an all round experience. |
| 00:00:55 |
00:00:57 |
We’ve got a lovely school here
with our own cafeteria, |
| 00:00:57 |
00:01:01 |
8 computer down stairs which students
can use for their own personal use. |
| 00:01:01 |
00:01:04 |
And we also have a lovely garden,
with our own swimming pool |
| 00:01:04 |
00:01:06 |
which is open throughout the summer. |
| 00:01:06 |
00:01:08 |
We’ve also got fantastic teachers, |
| 00:01:08 |
00:01:13 |
very well experienced and highly qualified
and they’ve got the ability to really focus |
| 00:01:13 |
00:01:15 |
on students and their individual needs. |
| 00:01:16 |
00:01:18 |
The teachers are very friendly |
| 00:01:18 |
00:01:22 |
and you can come forward in your English,
speaking, listening, writing. |
| 00:01:23 |
00:01:27 |
It’s an easy way to learn in a short time
to speak better English. |
| 00:01:30 |
00:01:34 |
We have lots of fantastic host families
all within 25 minute walking distance |
| 00:01:35 |
00:01:36 |
of the school. |
| 00:01:36 |
00:01:40 |
Also as part of that we are able to offer
executive standard accommodation |
| 00:01:41 |
00:01:45 |
which means that the students have
an ensuite bathroom and also things like |
| 00:01:45 |
00:01:47 |
a wireless internet connection. |
| 00:01:47 |
00:01:50 |
It’s very nice to stay with them,
you can eat with them together, |
| 00:01:51 |
00:01:55 |
watch movies, fun time.
You can learn a lot about the English life. |
| 00:01:55 |
00:02:01 |
They look over you all days, they are
really great and I like to stay here. |
| 00:02:04 |
00:02:07 |
We have a very varied
social programme in Torquay. |
| 00:02:07 |
00:02:12 |
We have a full time driver guide
and our own mini bus which is wonderful. |
| 00:02:13 |
00:02:16 |
We have many places
we can take the students. |
| 00:02:16 |
00:02:20 |
We have Cockington Village which is
a 14th century medieval village |
| 00:02:20 |
00:02:21 |
with souvenir shops. |
| 00:02:21 |
00:02:24 |
We have Kents Cavern one of the oldest
prehistoric caves in the UK. |
| 00:02:25 |
00:02:27 |
We have the Model Village
and we have the Living Coast. |
| 00:02:28 |
00:02:33 |
The Living Coast is where I can see
a lot of penguins and lots of sea animals, |
| 00:02:34 |
00:02:35 |
it was a lot of fun. |
| 00:02:40 |
00:02:46 |
Torquay has a great night life with shows,
with different restaurants, different pubs. |
| 00:02:46 |
00:02:48 |
Also different music. |
| 00:02:49 |
00:02:52 |
There are a lot of things to do there
such as dancing |
| 00:02:53 |
00:02:58 |
or sometimes there are shows.
The other day we saw a magician there. |
| 00:02:58 |
00:03:03 |
I think it was really good because he
was doing all the tricks in front of you. |
| 00:03:04 |
00:03:08 |
The best thing of coming here
I think is not just learning English |
| 00:03:08 |
00:03:11 |
with your teacher, is that you meet
people from all over the world |
| 00:03:11 |
00:03:15 |
so that you can speak with them
in English so that’s great. |
