Latihan BSI 2

1            Last month the company sent me on a two week-week ‘professional English’ course at Falcon Business Language Training in west London. I stayed with a host family in west London. Although the course did not focus on my particular job as an engineer very much, it was well organized. On the positive side, I was made to speak English all the time, both in the School and with my host family. The teachers were very professional

and had a good knowledge of the business world. We were put in small groups of three to four students which meant that we got a lot of individual attention.

1            Dear Fergus,

 

 

I hope all’s well with you. I’ve been meaning to write for ages, but my journal Takes up a lot of my time. Please don’t think it’s because I haven’t been thinking

About you all-I have and I’m getting quite homesick. But I have to remind myself Of why I’m here, which is to try to get and get established as a freelance journalist And photographer.

 

 

 

I’m now in Sri Lanka visiting some tea plantations and talking to people about

 

How their lives changed in the last 20 years or so. The countryside here is amazing. At the moment I’m in the hills just outside Kandy which are so lush and green, you Wouldn’t believe it. I’m trying to get an interview with one of the plantation owners That I can make into feature for a magazine. Finger crossed.

 

So my plan is to stay here until the end of   September and then get a plane back to

 

UK to see if I can find someone who will publish some of this stuff. It would be great To get together with you the. How is your family ? is Sarah still working for that

Horrible estate agent ? do give them all my love .I’ll write again soon
