Hi Mom. After graduate from senior high school, I consider to take a gap year before starting university. The reasons is because I want to take a scholarship from British Council.

This scholarship provide 100% cost of study at University in United Kingdom. It’s included free university cost, dormitory, one way ticket, and pocket money with value £1.500 .

So I want to take a course for one year, to prepare the test of that scholarship. The course that I want to take is, 10 months program of English Course at Kampung Inggris Pare, Kediri, Central Java. No worries for the money, because I already prepared it.

After 10 Months, I also need a time to prepare all of documents requirements such a IELTS Test, Make a passport and Visa, et cetera. So wish me luck Mom.

Sincere,

J.M
