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.
Hello, fellas! My name is Marianne, but I prefer to be called just Mari! I'm from Brazil. This is my second online course, I'm currently doing another one, and I'm personally enjoying this experience of online study. Hope all of you enjoy the course and make this productive! And the reason why I like to study online it's espeacilly because of the practicality, do not need to worry about go to classes and also the no need (not always good) of socialize with other students!

what do you like about studying online?
One of the reason that I enjoying studying online is the accessible learning platform. I can easily take part in a course after arriving home from work on my laptop. Furthermore, I can learn on my own space.
The reason I liking online studies are, can study in comfortable way at home or any place, can save transport time and cost, Aswell tuition fees are cheaper, and time is flexible and more private than physical class
I like studying online courses because I can follow the course at my convenience.
