My name is Nga. I’m a student. I’m from Viet Nam, and I’ve lived here for two years. I came to London to study Hospital Management. In some ways I like it very much. In other ways I don’t think it’s a very interesting city. I’m never bored here. And I think parks of London are really beautiful. I love the big parks and some of the buildings. But I can’t stand the weather, it is much worse than the weather in Viet Nam at this time of the year. It rains so much here, and it’s very noisy. The traffic problems are terrible. There are more traffic jams here than in Viet Nam. At first, I was lonely here. I was always homesick. I didn’t have any friends. Now I have some. Things are better now. But I don’t think I want to stay here. After I finish my course I intend to go back to Viet Nam. I hope I can get a job there in Hospital Management.
