15 weeks ago Cyrille joined us here at TTPL for his Work Placement. He announced his arrival with this blog - Hello World Well here we are 3 months later and its time for him to return to Belgium.Good bye Cyrille, good luck and please stay in touch!
Hello world this is Cyrille again! My 15 weeks of
internship here in TTPL are coming to an end and to be honest, I will miss a
lot of things here in Torquay.
During all this time, the best thing was to meet a
lot of European students and that way, to make a lot of friends! Chatting and
having a laugh around a pint of beer with them during the weekend or after a
day of work is the best way to unwind and relax. If I can give an advice to new
students; don't be shy! Nobody bites, go speak to other students and get to
know each other. This will make you happier, you will improve your English
skills and in the weekends, you will go visit surrounding cities in UK
(Plymouth, Exeter, Totnes or even London) and have fun on Friday and Saturday
nights.
My work placement in The Training Partnership Ltd
was really fruitful for me. Now I know what office work consists of and I
learned to be more independent and open-minded. The staff members are very
competent and always available when you need them. What is the most amazing
with them is that they are like a family, they all get along with each other
and everyone is ready to lighten the atmosphere at any time, which makes them a
fantastic team!
The host family that welcomed me was the nicest one
I could have wanted. They were always happy to have a talk with me and I quite
like the food my host mother was cooking, which is not the case for all of the
students coming here.
What more could I say? Working abroad for some
months is an experience every student should live. I would have stayed longer
if I didn't have exams to pass… anyway, every day here was enjoyable and Torbay
is a wonderful place to live in even if few people might be very weird sometimes.
I am already looking forward to come back here in
the future!
Thanks a lot TTPL for all you have done for me, you
guys are the best!
