TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY

Unfortunately this is my last week in Torquay and with this short blog I’ll try to describe my adventure in England. In 12 weeks I met a lot of people from different European Country; I spent with them my best summer ever.

Everything began the 12th July, and after that day, many things have happened. I visited a lot of places that I’ll never forget. Everything here is absolutely amazing; spending time with TTPL has offered me the opportunity to work and have fun at the same time.

One of the best place where I’ve been is Cornowall. It is one of the UK’s most popular tourist destinations for its captivating coastline and stunning scenery. The dramatic granite cliffs of Land's End, picture postcard harbours, the wide sandy beaches of the north coast have all made Cornwall the best place where you can spend a peaceful and safe holiday. But Cornwall also has a rich cultural heritage and this has left an indelible mark on the landscape. Now the sceneries of Looe, Polperro, Padstow, Portheath and S. Ives are stuck in my mind.

Devon at the same time, is one the best county of England. The beautiful small villages of Dartmouth and Brixham, the night life in Torquay and the wide sandy beaches of Paington are all places that I’ll never forget. And then Exeter, Plymouth, Totnes… magnificent places to show on postcards.

At the end, I also spent a weekend in the London. London, the busy capital of England, one of the most beautiful city in the world.

After this experience I will never forget these places and the people that I met. Friends will be always friends.  Travelling is one of the best thing to do in the life.

Travel doesn’t really wait for anyone. Sure, places will always be there, people will always travel, but there’s no better reason to travel than to just seize the moment, take the opportunity when you have it and act on impulse

TIME FLIES - a blog from Luca our new Student Ambassador.

Hi, my name is Luca Fenoglio, I’m the new student ambassador and with this short blog I would like to tell you something about my new life in Torquay.

This is my first work experience in a foreign country, I’m 19 years old, and before arriving here I was a little nervous but determined  at the same time.

The first day that I arrived in Bristol the weather was very bad! I Though “this will be a very strange summer”; fortunately when I arrived in Torquay the sun was shining.

Since the first moment that I met my host family, I felt like to be at home! They are very nice and polite.

After two weeks of language training course in Riviera School I started working in a lovely place. At the moment I’m working in Cockington in an Architectural Firm. The first day of work was a little bit strange, I found difficult to understand English people speaking and I tried to do as much as possible with all my skills.

Now I feel comfortable; every day when I work I’m astonished by the surrounding nature that cover Cockington Court, It’s absolutely amazing!

During this experience I met a lot of people from different European countries, I’m having a great time with them! TTPL with all the meetings helps students to make new friendship; it’s a good opportunity to meet people with different culture.

Unfortunately this is my eighth weeks here in torquay, most of my time has already gone. I want to enjoy my last four weeks, because for me this is an opportunity that will not be repeated very often in my life!

When you are in the right place, you know what do you want and you are happy, TIME FLIES.

Here, I’m spending one of the most exciting parts of my life. Is it probably the right place for me? I don’t know, but I’m completely sure that living in South Devon it’s great opportunity for learning English and for finding a job.
