Band 6+: The younger sister of one of your friends is thinking about spending a year studying abroad as part of her university course. You did this recently, and she has asked you about your experience. Write a letter to your friend's sister. In your letter • tell her where you studied during your year abroad • describe what you learnt about the country you studied in • explain why your year abroad was helpful for your studies

Dear Ayesha, How’s it going? I’m writing this letter to share about my experience of studying abroad. First of all, I’d like to tell you about my university, which was University of London where I completed my degree in English . I had spent the best time of my whole academic career in this university. Moreover, University of London is one of the highly ranked university in the UK.

Moving ahead, during my time in the UK, I came across the fact that it is a multicultural country. It has individuals of all nationalities residing here, while side by side celebrating festivals of every religion whether it a Muslims’ Eid or Indians’ Holi, the UK give precise value to every religion. I didn’t expect to witness a multiple blends of culture and traditions in this country, it surprised me.

Lastly my experience of studying here was very significant for myself as it taught me how to adapt in the new atmosphere all by myself. Furthermore, I learned the communication and organizational skills by living there. By all means, this one year in the UK was an eye opening experience for me.

I hope it’d be helpful for you too. Have a safe travel, and write me back after reaching your destination.

Best regards,

Huda.
