They are always friendly I am a student at the university of St. Andrews in Scotland. When I arrived at Edinburgh International airport I met by a special driver who took me to St. Andrews. I was very nervous at the time, although he patiently introduced many things about St. Andrews and he needed to repeat himself many times for me. Sometimes, some people say "Hello" to me by actively when I walked on the St. Andrews streets. Once, I met a little boy who said "Hi! My name is Jerry, I am 6 years-old, I like…." Then I felt very interested. Formerly, I thought it was only the Chinese who openly friendly. Now I know it happens in other countries as well. I am always greeted with a lovely smile.

Britain is a country where is full of beautiful views when I arrived here wide openly fields and magnificent castles were my first impressions. A fallen leaf touched me deeply while I was walking on the footpath the whole street was covered with leaves. I would say, this is an excellent environment for foreign students to study.

When I study in Britain I have many opportunities to join foreign students. The parties and activities which have the chance to talk with foreigners in English and learn some of the differences in culture. That mean I am not only advancing my English language ability in university but also my social life with other foreign students.
