Hello everyone. I choose Elizabeth School. because I think this school is easier to study than another. Elizabeth School has high tuition fees. but I think that is easier to concentrate because I can take classes one-on-one, I think quality is better than the amount of learning. So it's important to study higher. From these things I chose this school.

I might choose “Elizabeth School of English” because its courses have quite interesting contents than “Charles School”. At university I can learn basic skills like reading, writing, listening, speaking but, there are none or much less courses that contains English of a specific occupation. Also, because I’m interested in business. So, would like to learn about the field I’m interested in.

I would choose the Elizabeth School of English. There are two reasons. The first is to have a high-quality English course. If I have a chance to learn, I would like to choose a good one. Even if the price is high. It's also important to have good teachers. If I pay high money, I want to get good education. The second is to choose a course that suits my purpose. I think this method is the most efficient way to study. We should study only what you need. From this point I would choose Elizabeth School of English. But it's important to study a lot regardless of which classroom I choose.

I would choose Elizabeth School of English. There are two main reasons for this. First, I can pay every an hour so I can study at the time I choose. Therefore, I think that I can be compatible with part-time jobs and other things. It is good that I can adapt to my lifestyle. Second, I can study English in a certain area. I think that learning English for future work will be a great strength. Also, I think it will be fun to study English if it's an area I'm interested in. I would be happy if I could use the English I studied at work. For these reasons I would choose Elizabeth School of English.

I would choose Elizabeth School of English because there are many good points in this school. There are many teachers who are all qualified and experienced for a high-quality English Course, so I can learn high-quality English. Also, I interested in English for Life course. It is close to practice. I can learn practical English and communication skill. Those are very important in the future. However, I have to go to school on Monday to Friday 9 a.m.–9 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m.–1 p.m. It's very hard for me. But, I'll do my best If I would enter Elizabeth School of English.
