would strongly recommend doing both AEP & GE if you have the time, as the former will provide
you well-rounded English skills for reading & writing, while the latter can enable you to build
up speaking & listening skills that we use every day. My teachers really helped me a lot during
my time here. Not only did they teach me the language, but also they gave me the confidence totry and achieve my goals. Also, the student services staff are SUPER friendly and they are justawesome!!!”Doris, AEP graduate currently studying at The Hotel School Sydney

“No words can describe my incredible journeyat Universal English College.
Attending Universal English College didn’t
only help me to improve my English skills,
but also has given me a new family in acompletely new world.
Studying wasn’t something I enjoyed doing,but this place managed to change that on me
and all my classmates and every minute at
this college has been highly helpful for my
English skills development.
First, working with controversial topics
while doing listening-reading practice madelearning much more entertaining. Secondly,
respecting the word limits in writing tasks
was so difficult with so many interestingtasks. Last but not least, giving
presentations was the definitely the funniest
and most entertaining activity. Learning
while doing research and listening toother’s opinions always led to discussions
where one learnt how to be a listener andrespect other’s points of view.
However, what made this a unique adventure
were the members at this college. From themarketing staff to the worker in chargeof refilling the vending machine were easy

25

going and helpful whenever help was needed.
Teachers were like parents, always trying toteach their students what’s best for their
future, giving advices to always do betterand looking forward to help you in hardsituations. Also, having classmates from allover the world was incredible. As a foreign
student, my first days in Sydney were toughas I felt lonely and everything was so new
and difficult that I wanted to go back to mycountry. But things changed when I met myinternational classmates. Each student had
its own culture, first language, religion andfeatures. But being able to speak English
helped us to overcome these barriers andnow I feel grateful for having siblings
from countries like Italy, Thailand, Japan,
Vietnam, India and Colombia who make thisexperience in Australia less lonely.
Unfortunately, it’s my time to say goodbye
to this unforgettable journey, full of
emotions and incredible moments. I wish
everyone had the chance to experience thisadventure at UEC. But now, it’s my time tomove on and work harder to achieve my goalsin Australia.”
