When I was 9 years old, my family hosted an exchange student from a small town in England, Reading, she showed us pictures and talked about her hometown a lot and invited us to visit her. Sadly, because it was (and still is) too expensive we couldn’t go. I also like to read and my favourite books are those that feature the UK, I loved David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, the Secret Garden when I was a kid, and growing up I started reading Edward Rutherfurd novels, my favourite of which is London, since it is a historical novel I learned from that book the origins of London, the birth of the river Thames, the last years of the Roman Empire and the significant historical figures that either were born in England or lived there for most of their lives, like Shakespeare, Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton, Jane Austen, among many others. I want to visit the classic historical places, like the Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, the Tower of London, but I also want to go to the beach (I’ve heard that Brighton has a beautiful coast and a cheerful and happy community) and the north country, especially Liverpool since The Beatles are my favourite band. I’d also like to study there for a couple of years, specifically I want to study Political Economy in the London School of Economics and Political Science, but in order to do that I must be a lawyer first.
