Welcome everyone. I'm Canadian but living in Scotland. The last time I studied anything was forty years ago … I'm a bit nervous! Good luck, everyone!

Hello. I'm so happy to be doing this course. I've finished two other online courses this year so I'm looking forward to my third. I'm from Vietnam by the way. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hi! Looks like I'm the first one here so … hi to everyone who joins the course and nice to meet you! Good luck with the course and see you in the next lesson!

Tips

1. Keep your introduction short and clear.

2. Say hello and give a little bit of information about yourself. Don’t say anything too private or personal.

3. You can say what you hope to get or learn.

4. Wish people good luck.

5. You don’t have to write full sentences.

6. You might use more exclamation marks (!) than in formal writing because it looks friendly.

I like to study on the computer. I do not live in an English-speaking country. I do not know anyone who speaks English. On the computer, I study when I want, in the morning or at night. On the computer, I like to use listening and writing web site. I like to learn English online.

Hi everyone! I like online course, because I don't spend too much time and money

If a online course is high quality and very well managed, it can save both money and time.

It's a great opportunity to be able to study online, as you can easily do it during your free time, and this will not affect your main job.

I think that online studying is easier and save money and time to students. So, any person can learn more by registration in many courses and improve his skills and knowledge. Also, you can meet a lot of people from different countries. You can make new friends, and you'll know more about the traditions and habits of other societies.
