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.
