Hussain says:

I'm studying Computer Systems Engineering at Solent University in Southampton, England, which is a great city; it's close to London, only 45 minutes by train....I'm doing Foundation in the first year of university; it's mixed between Business English and Computer technology, and in the last three years I will start deepening my major. The British school system is different in its systems of teaching. I am still playing football here (soccer); as you know I'm crazy about football.

That is my story in England until now and I miss you all and all my teachers in CESL.
