I am 22 years old and I am at university studying engineering. I take my final exams
next month and I will finish university in July.
I want to take a year off and travel round the world. I will need to make some money
while I am travelling, so I would like to learn to teach English as a second language so
that I can makesome money while I am abroad. A friend of mine has recommended
your course very highly. She also gave me some details, but I would like to ask a few
more questions.
What courses do you have in the summer and when do they start? How much do the
courses cost? Is there an examination at the end?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Andrew Brown
Andrew said that when he was 22, he was an engineering student in his
last month at university. He wanted to travel abroad after he had
finished his course at the university, but he would need to earn some
money while he was abroad so he wanted to learn to teach English as a
foreign language. A friend had recommended a course but Andrew needed
more information, so he wrote to the school and asked them when their
courses started and how much they were. He also wanted to know if
there was an examination at the end of the course
