I have been studying at City of Bath College for nearly three years so I am confident enough to say that this College is of a very high standard and provides good quality education for every individual student. I successfully completed my general English studies in 2003 and have been studying A Levels since then.The teachers here have given me lots of support and encouragement, which has enabled me to make good progress. I share my experiences with students who come from a lot of different countries and cultures. I am happy to say that my friends are from all over the world.

我已快在巴斯城市学院学习三年了，所以我可以很自信地说这是一所质量很高的学院，让每个学生都能得到优质的教育。 2003年我成功地完成了综合英语学习后，就开设读中学高级水平的课程。在学院教师的大力支持和鼓励下，我才取得了这么大的进步。 我和来自不同国家和文化的同学们一起分享经验。 真高兴我的朋友们来自全世界。

The College facilities are very useful, especially the Learning Centre. I am able to find all sorts of information both on my studies and leisure activities there. Also, the Student's Union is a good place to meet friends and socialise. I am ready to go to one of the UK universities in October and it is time to say goodbye to my College but I will never forget the wonderful experiences I had here.

学院的设施非常有用，尤其是学习中心。 在那里我能找到各种学业和休闲活动方面的信息。 学生会则是和朋友见面和社交的好地方。 10月份我将去一所英国大学继续读书，到时候我就该向学院说再见了。但是我决不会忘记在这里度过的美好的时光。
