Hi! My name is Maxim Radionov. I am 17 years old. I come from Moscow, Russia. I have spent three weeks in New Zealand. My first impression of New Zealand was that it was a clean country with polite and easy-going people. I also think that New Zealand has a wonderful nature.
I am currently studying at ACG New Zealand International College in The University of Auckland Certificate in Foundation Studies. My goal is to enter The University of Auckland next year, and I will do everything possible to achieve my goal. I am sure that the highly qualified teachers will help me to make my dream come true. All teachers here are so friendly and they have a good sense of humour. It is real pleasure for me to practice my English and all subjects I learn, as well as doing assignments. Besides English, which is a compulsory subject for overseas students I have also chosen four optional subjects: Accounting, Statistics, Calculus and Economics.
ACG New Zealand International College offers you many opportunities for successful education abroad. You will gain new experiences and get acquainted with people of different cultures. You will be able to enrich your mind with valuable information about the culture of different countries. In addition, you will improve your English language skills.
I am staying with a Kiwi family. They have one cat. These people are so sociable! Mrs Brown often cooks me traditional New Zealand meals. I really enjoy staying here.
I obviously miss my family and friends in Russia, but I am getting over my homesickness.
Maxim
