Hi! Can study in UK? It must be a very wonderful experience. I can meet a lot of foreign friend. Also I'll learn in a really different place to my native country. Despite living in UK, can benefit many things, you have to have a nice profile and a emotional writing skills. Having a nice profile seems easy but you'all don't. It's a real challenge! if the truth be told you also must have a high meaning brain to write lots of essay, composition for UK school. However, if you're smart enough and own a immense wealth. I'm sure you can go to United Kingdom and study the way easy, though! I still believe we should training hard. 'Cause it'll bring you a major amount of experience. Like you'll study how hard can things be, how you achive and pass a rocky road in your life,... You'll have a further sight which really teaches you somethings. On the path to the winning, don't frightened of the ones who use one thousand methods, you should scared of people who use a methods one thousand times!

Yes, I would to study in the UK. In my opinion it's a wonderful opportunity for studying. Firstly, you have a time to concentrate on English in classroom. Secondly, after lessons you have time to practice new knowledge in the native environment. Thirdly, you can meet interesting people with common interests.
