420W journal 1
Since the 22th of september I'm attending the 12-week Intensive English Programm at the UBC English Language Institute (ELI). There are several reasons why I have chosen to study at this school. Firstly, it was longly a dream of mine to live abroad for a short time and to improve my English. Only now the time has come where it really fitts. After my final master degree this summer I was ready for an adventure, not for professional everyday life. Furthermore, for me the advancement of my English skills is pretty important for my future career, because English is the language of science and I will probably work in this field. For my English stay I had to choose between the destinations Ireland, Scottland and Canada. Finally I decided to enjoy my English stay in Canada, because I can visit an old friend that way who immigrated to Vancouver 3 years ago. Additionally, Vancouver gives me the alternative to getting to know a new country and another way of life. While I was searching for an machting school in the internet, I came across the ELI offer, that immediately convinced me. These are the reasons why I'm studying at the ELI.

Thank you for your first journal entry.
