If I choose, I think Eizabeth School of English. There are three reasons. First all teachers in the school are qualified and experienced in high quality English courses. In short, teachers are good at teaching and students should be able to improve their English quickly. The second is that there are many classes. So I can choose a courses that suits. The third the school is open on Saturday. Even if I'm busy working part-time on weekdays, I can still go to Saturday and it's easy to go to school.

I choose Elizabeth School. Although the tuition fees are higher than those at Charles School, the quality of English classes seems to be good because the teacher's careers are high and there are also one-to-one classes. Also, I think it is good to be able to decide the classes time myself.

I would like to choose Charles School. I think the most important point to learn English is the what you can do and what you cannot do. I think language is very difficult and spend long time. So, you have to study one by one. So, I think Charles School is better. This school has three courses reading, writing and listening. I think it is good. It is because, you can know what you are good at and you are not good at. Sometimes you have a mistake. So, it can clearly. If you know, your English study will progress.

I choose Charles School. The first reason I chose is that the price is cheap. I am not good at 4 skills in English, so I would like to give priority to solidifying the foundation first. In the Elizabeth School, I thought that even though I spent a lot of money on studying English, I could not keep up with the classes. And the second reason is that the school encourages you to make friends and see England. I want to learn English and eventually communicate with people from various countries. To do this, we need to create an environment in which I can use English everyday because I have to make it usable, not English as knowledge. So it was very motivating to have friends with the same purpose of learning English.

I'd like to choose Elizabeth School of English. The biggest point is all teachers are qualified and experienced for a high-quality English course. I'd like to improve my English speaking skill high quality. I'm going to study abroad to Ireland next year. So I'd like to communicate with many local people and speak with them. So I want to be able to speak English more accurately and I want to break down the language barrier. To do that, I need to take high level English class. Also I need to learn business English for my future. I'd like to work in English. That's whx I choose Elizabeth School.

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.
