Este tempo que passamos juntos foi incrível para mim... ler, escrever e principalmente escutar e falar em inglês sempre foi muito difícil para mim, mas não mais! Eu sei que não sou perfeita, mas todo esse aprendizado me deu bagagem para ser uma pessoa melhor, encorajando-me a não ter medo.
O próximo passo é treinar mais, porque hoje sei que eu sou totalmente capacitada para isso. Estou extremamente feliz com o meu progresso, ou melhor, nosso progresso. Juntos nós conquistamos amizades, ajudamos amigos e também recebemos ajuda, sempre trabalhando em grupo pelo nosso crescimento.
Espero que os novos alunos tenham a mesma experiência que eu tive, que cada conhecimento absorvido ou dificuldade seja mais um passo para seu crescimento e no final eles entenderão a real importância de toda a dedicação.
Sobre o professor, tenham cuidado, ele é o mais cabeludo do mundo HAHAHAHA :) Estou brincando, ele é o melhor ! Obrigado professor, obrigado por tudo, você me proporcionou ótimos momentos e eu estou certa de que nos veremos em breve ... será estudando inglês ? comendo hambúrgueres ?

London
The capital of the UK is visited by millions of tourists a year. London is a very old city and also is home to an incredible number of attractions, wonderful old houses, fantastic museums, large and beautiful parks and, of course, the unique British charm.
In 43 AD Romans established a settlement on the River Thames. Over the centuries the settlement has grown and has turned into a real metropolis with a population of 7.5 million people (if counting together with London suburbs, then the number is 12 million). Only visits to numerous traditional English pubs, which are so famous in London, will prevent you from estimating the size and glory of the city.
Without a doubt, Tower Bridge across the Thames is the most famous drawbridge in the world. Contrary to a popular opinion, the bridge has got its name not because of the two towers that adorn the bridge, but because of the nearby Tower of London.
▪ Tower of London Tower of London is a whole complex of buildings. During its long history the complex has performed a variety of functions – it was an arsenal, a royal palace, a prison, an observatory and even a mint. (Read more)

▪ Cuisine ▪ Fish & chips There’s nothing that says ‘British Food’ like Fish & Chips. Known the world over, this traditional British dish is on the top of any foodie list for visitors to London and the U.K. Although fish & chips is best eaten on the seaside (think Brighton, Blackpool or Whitby) it is possible to get great fish & chips in London. Fish & chips is traditionally eaten with mushy peas and garnished with salt and vinegar!
▪ Sunday Roast with Yorkshire Pudding Sunday roast is a true British classic. Traditionally this meal is eaten any time from 12noon to 5pm on Sundays. Although you can get Sunday roast with turkey, beef, pork, chicken, lamb and veggie options – it’s important to always make sure you get your Yorkshire pudding! Traditionally served with beef, Yorkshire puddings a true British classic and can often be added to any Sunday roast order. A traditional roast comes with meat, potatoes, gravy and vegetables and should be so large you find it difficult to walk afterwards!

▪ Habits
Strict following of rules remains one of main traits of local residents. This is true for absolutely all spheres of life. Londoners are very careful and diligent in work. They are very patient in filling various papers and documents, and carefully follow the traffic rules.
Any violation of public policies or generally accepted norms can cause frustration and confusion. Local people are very sensitive to nature. While walking in the city, you can hardly see people wearing fur or leather. Even the soldiers of the Royal Guard have been forced to change their uniform and instead of hats made of natural bear fur they now wear hats made of artificial materials.
Citizens are very reluctant to drinking alcoholic beverages. Local stores start selling alcoholic drinks on weekends only after 19.00. During the week pubs are open throughout the day and have all sorts of things to keep your attention.
Brits are very polite. Maybe even too polite. British people apologise for everything, and as a foreigner you should do the same to avoid being considered as rude. So if you accidentally step on someone’s toe when the tube is crammed with people – just apologise, even if it’s not your fault.
The words “Please” and “Thank you” are just as important. Whether you ask your friend to pass you the biscuits that are too far away for you to reach or you thank the waitress for serving your food – be friendly, say the “magic words” and you will feel like a real Brit.
Music:
Folk music: The
British folk music also known as English tradictional music goes back many
centuries and remains a big and important part of music history throughout the
world. In 19th century folk had a more solid definition and was associated with
Romantic Movement. (Read more)

For example, there is a much greater range of shops and supermarkets in London from the very cheap to the very expensive than you would tend to find in smaller towns and cities. There are also several websites devoted to activities you can enjoy for free in London such as Time Out’s London for Free.
