Postcard from...Bristol, England

Dear Luna International,

I'm studying English in Bristol now. My dormitory is called ....It is okay, bu there are a few problems. My classmates are very kind, but communicating in English is difficult for me.

My teacher is called Thomas. his class is easy to understand for me. He is a very good teacher.

The food in England isn't so delicious. I miss Japanese food.

The United Kingdom is very beautiful. I went to Cardiff, Bath, and Thorpe Park. Also, I did sightseeing in Bristol. It was very fun.

The weather is nice here. It's not hot and comfortable. I'm happy here.

See you in Japan,

Miyu

Dear Mr. & Mrs. George

Hi Jim & Yukari, greetings from London

Time flies, already three months have passed since I arrived in the U.K.!! I've just finished taking lesson in Bath. I had been staying with my host mother for six weeks. She was very generous ...so I was lucky.

I could make a lot of foreign friends. And I could know different culture. I've already had many good experiences.

Besides, I went on a trip. For example, Oxford, Cardiff, Cotswolds, Weymouth, Bristol and Cheddar Gorge. In October, I'm going to Venice to meet my friend again. She was my flatmate.

I think that living in England is a great experience to improve my English skill. I feel my English has improved more than before. I'm going to another language school in Winchester on 4th of September. I'll do my best!! I'd like to show my growth by next meeting. Next time (when I come back to Japan), let's talk about what's going on recently.

I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

Best regards,

Saori

This man is up there as one of the very greatest all time great rugby players. In this interview during a rainy lunchtime at the cricket in Cardiff, he talks to "Aggers" about his experiences on and off the pitch. Wonderful ambassador for sport, a genuine gentleman, and a gorgeous voice.
