I am learning English because I am studying law and when I finish my course I would like to work for a big company, or possibly, I will continue my studies in Britain or the U.S.A. To do either of these things, it is important to reach a certain level of English. Another reason is that I want to communicate with foreign people because nowadays countries are becoming closer and closer. You need to be able to speak a foreign language if you want to travel without any problems. My sister, who lives in England, says that life is very different there and the weather is not so good. Later this year I am going to visit England and stay with my sister for two months. I hope to improve my level of English during that time. I am certainly looking forward to spending the summer in England. After studying at a college for six weeks, I will be going on holiday with my sister. We plan to hire a car and visit the south-west of the country, which is very interesting, with lovely countryside. 1.
