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 can study from anywhere and enjoy a coffee while I am in class, without distrubing others
It is impossibe to drink coffie and to attend the class.
It's a great idea. It's very convenient, and I can study at my own pace and anywhere.
Hi everyone, this is my first online course this year. I'm looking forward to learn a lot from the course and from all of you! Good luck, everyone!
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.

Two things I like about studying online are that I can save time because I don't need to go to class, and in some classes, I can study at my own pace.
