“At this moment I’m studying English in Melbourne, Australia. My school is UiT. I feel

very happy in my Elementary class because my teacher Louise is funny and she brings

lollies (he, he, he…) I want to speak English more in class but I need more practice.

Louise is a very good teacher and I feel confident when I speak English with her. My class is good.

I feel relaxed and comfortable.”

“IhavebeenlivinginMelbournefor1yearandfourmonthsandIreallyenjoylivinghere.Icame

to Australia to learn English because in my country I was working as a journalist for a newspaper,

so, I think that it is very important to learn another language.

This policy applies whether the accommodation is arranged through an agency or directly by the college. Even where an agency is engaged,

it remains UIT’s responsibility to ensure that standards are upheld, that the accommodation remains suitable, and that other people living at

the accommodation are suitable. Records of the inspection will be kept on file; homestay agencies are expected to provide such records. Even

where inspections are carried out by third parties such as homestay agencies, UIT may institute its own inspections.

All accommodation is inspected and the host family is interviewed to ascertain their suitability for looking after younger overseas students

before accommodation is approved. This may be done by the homestay agency or by UIT

“One day, I heard the saying: “you need to make mistakes to grow up,” and that you don’t finish growing up because we learn from our mistakes our whole life. It was then that I decided to set out to learn English at UiT.

UiT feels like home. The atmosphere is nice and there is a friendly relationship between teachers, students and administrative support staff. I’ve been at UiT for 4 months and I can see my progress. I’d like tosaythankstoYuliaandLeonardowhohavebeenmyteachers.Theymotivate me every day to continue and encourage me when I make a mistake. With a smile they say: “Come on Antoinette you can…” Maybe we make a lot of mistakes along the way, however, nothing is perfect in life and the principal idea is to resolve them as a team.

So,atUiTwe’reagoodteam!”
