Study English Australia

Monique from Brazil studies English at GEOS Queensland College of English at the Gold Coast in Queensland.

Why did you choose Australia?

My school in Brazil gave me the option to go to Australia. Now I am here with six other students from my school.

And why did you choose the Gold Coast?

My school organised this.

How do you feel being and studying in a foreign country?

Good so far, the only thing is that I don’t like is the distance. Everything is really far so the bus takes very long and I depend on my home stay mother.

How can you handle the language?

I have already been to Canada to study English, so it isn’t really a problem for me anymore.

What is it like being a language student?

Very good because you have the ability to improve your English and meet many cool people. Every fifth week we write a test to see if you really improved, which is very motivating.

What are you doing in your leisure time?

We have been to some theme parks like Wet ´n Wild or Dreamland. Sometimes we’ve made some barbecue or visited cities like Brisbane for one weekend.

Do you have some tips for people who think about coming to Australia?

You should get information about the things you want to see before you come to Australia. That way you will have enough time in Australia and you can just enjoy your time here.

What do you think of the Australian people?

They are very open-minded and really interested in my country and culture.
