Yes, I would like to study in UK. I am living in Liverpool. I have had a ESOL testing with E3 but there is no class for me at the moment. I hope I could take an ESOL English class next time.

of course, I'd rather study abroad and studying in the UK is my dream since I was a kid. It's the reason why I'm learning English now. I hope it will become a reality soon.

Of course. I am a recent graduate from Al-Isra University in architecture engineering and I would like to complete my education by enrolling in a master's degree so I have to get a high band in the IELTS test to do that.

Absolutely. I definitely want to study in the U.K. Actually, I feel lucky for having traveled to U.K. a couple of times. I hung out in London for a few days where a visited museums and walked around the Thames river. It is an astonishing city.
