I think we should go to the Seattle school of English in the USA. You can stay with Vietnamese friends.
What do you think about the Brisbane Institute of English in Australia?
Why don’t we go to the Brighton Language Center in the United Kingdom? If we go there ,we can live in a dormitory on campus.
Tam:

I think we should go to the Seattle School of English in the USA. You can stay with Vietnamese friends.
But the course is too expensive. It costs US$2,000.
And we can enjoy the beautiful scenery there.
Let’s go to Australia to attend that course.
Kim:
I disagree because we can’t practice speaking English with native speakers.
What do you think about the Brisbane Institute of English in Australia?
If we go there, we can stay with an Australia family to discover their culture and practice English answer well.
I agree with you.
Thu:
Why don’t we go to the Brighton Language Center in the United Kingdom? If we go there, we can live in a dormitory on campus.
I think it’s quite close to Viet Nam.
People said that they have a good way of teaching English and the course is acceptable. It costs US$1,200.
