Hi I'm Anatoly, I'm from Colombia
|
| 00:00:21 |
00:00:22 |
and I'm 24 years old.
|
| 00:00:22 |
00:00:27 |
Hi my name is Maike,
I'm from Germany and I'm 23 years old. |
| 00:00:27 |
00:00:29 |
You can do a lot of things in Philly.
|
| 00:00:30 |
00:00:33 |
This is an old city.
They have great architecture, |
| 00:00:33 |
00:00:36 |
you can go sight seeing.
I love it! |
| 00:00:36 |
00:00:43 |
I love about Philadelphia is that
it's a big city and there's a huge scene |
| 00:00:43 |
00:00:47 |
of artists and musicians,
|
| 00:00:47 |
00:00:48 |
it's fun to live here!
|
| 00:00:49 |
00:00:52 |
The teachers in Philly are the best I think.
|
| 00:00:52 |
00:00:55 |
At first it's so hard because you're afraid
to make mistakes, |
| 00:00:56 |
00:01:01 |
but you have teachers that support you
and you can improve your English |
| 00:01:01 |
00:01:01 |
really fast in here.
|
| 00:01:02 |
00:01:05 |
The quality of my teaching staff
is a priority to me. |
| 00:01:05 |
00:01:09 |
Out of 23 KIC schools in the country
we have been ranked number one |
| 00:01:09 |
00:01:11 |
or number two in academics
and we're very proud of that. |
| 00:01:12 |
00:01:14 |
The centre itself is three floors,
|
| 00:01:14 |
00:01:19 |
we have you know silent study rooms, full
computer labs, classrooms on all floors. |
| 00:01:20 |
00:01:24 |
We have two accommodation options
for students. One is the home stay option. |
| 00:01:24 |
00:01:29 |
The main advantage of that is you
actually stay with a family |
| 00:01:30 |
00:01:31 |
in a suburban area around Philadelphia,
|
| 00:01:31 |
00:01:36 |
you get to see the US family life
and you also receive meals, |
| 00:01:36 |
00:01:38 |
and I think that might be one of the main
attractions for students. |
| 00:01:39 |
00:01:42 |
The other option is, right in the city,
there's a residence called |
| 00:01:42 |
00:01:43 |
International House.
|
| 00:01:43 |
00:01:47 |
I live in the residence
and it's good to live there |
| 00:01:47 |
00:01:52 |
because I can prepare my own food,
and I can study when I want, |
| 00:01:53 |
00:01:55 |
and I can meet other people when I want.
|
| 00:01:56 |
00:01:59 |
It's being in my own place
and I really enjoy that. |
| 00:02:00 |
00:02:06 |
It's great that Kaplan is located
in the city of Philadelphia |
| 00:02:07 |
00:02:10 |
because here are so many shops.
|
| 00:02:12 |
00:02:15 |
You have the main shopping street
in front of Kaplan. |
| 00:02:16 |
00:02:21 |
Terminal Market is also very close
to Kaplan and that is great, |
| 00:02:21 |
00:02:22 |
it's a very cool place!
|
| 00:02:23 |
00:02:26 |
In that place you can have fruit, vegetables.
|
| 00:02:27 |
00:02:28 |
You can buy fish.
|
| 00:02:28 |
00:02:31 |
You can get a really good
cheese steak in there. |
| 00:02:32 |
00:02:35 |
That is one of the most
famous things here in Philly. |
| 00:02:35 |
00:02:39 |
They make it in front of you,
it's really good, its really traditional. |
| 00:02:39 |
00:02:42 |
If you come to Philly
you have to try it. |
| 00:02:42 |
00:02:48 |
Kaplan Philadelphia organises
very different and fun activities |
| 00:02:48 |
00:02:53 |
like bowling at the Lucky Strike,
it's a very cool place. |
| 00:02:53 |
00:02:58 |
I love it to bowl!
There are many big screens, |
| 00:02:58 |
00:03:03 |
you can watch the baseball
and when the Phillies playing |
| 00:03:03 |
00:03:07 |
it's very exciting to be there.
Yes I love it! |
| 00:03:08 |
00:03:14 |
If you want to learn good English
and you want to learn it fast |
| 00:03:14 |
00:03:17 |
and be able to communicate with other people
then I think you should come here. |
| 00:03:18 |
00:03:23 |
You have the best teachers
and the best atmosphere to learn English. |
| 00:03:23 |
00:03:28 |
I would definitely recommend
Philadelphia Kaplan to all of my friends |
| 00:03:28 |
00:03:30 |
because I improved my English,
|
| 00:03:31 |
00:03:36 |
it helps you for the future and it's
a wonderful experience to be here. |
