Los Angeles!

(Cheers)

Your travel is free, your accommodation is with American families, and your

pocket money is 100 dollars each. Lingling and Daming are doing an English

course. It starts on 1st August and your host family is meeting you at the

airport.

Tony:

Lingling: (whisper) What about us? We speak English already! Shh!

Becky Wang: And Betty and Tony, the good news is ... you're coming to watch Crazy Feet

record its latest CD. We start work in the studio on 3rd August.

Tony:

Betty: But I haven't got anything to wear! And my jeans are too small. My sunglasses are very old. Don't be silly, Tony! It's a wonderful prize!

Becky Wang: Thank you very much. It's been wonderful to be here.

Module 12 Unit 2

Learn English in Los Angeles

We provide summer English courses which are the best you can find. You will enjoy coming to Los Angeles to learn about American culture and improve your English at the same time. The courses last for four, six or eight weeks. They start at the beginning of July and August. Our teachers are well-trained and very experienced. They teach English classes for four hours a day. You can choose between small groups of two or three, or larger groups of up to 15. We provide weekly tests to see the progress you're making with your language skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening. We also provide books and other materials.

As well as learning English, we want you to experience life in the USA. You live with an American family, and you take part in American life. You have meals with an American family and do some activities with them, too. For many of our students this is the most interesting part of the course. Many families create friendships with the students which last a long time. Of course, if you prefer, we can arrange hotel accommodation.

Of course, there are many things to do in Los Angeles. Every day we have activities which take place after class. You can choose to take trips to Hollywood, Disneyland or the famous beaches around LA. You can also go to various shopping centers, sports centers, movies and concerts. There are also weekend visits organized to San Francisco and other places of interest in California.

We try to give our students the best possible experience of English and life in the USA. Just ask our students! They say our summer English Courses are fantastic!

We hope that you'll enjoy a course with us, too. If you're interested, please fill in our application form where you will also find our list of prices. The course must be paid for one month before it begins.
