English
The English Language Centre (ELC) at CIT has many classes and I find that the staff are professional and offer you lots of support with your studies. I joined the ELC when I saw my friend's language had improved. That gave me the push to study English here. CIT has helped me to find out about the English language, Australian culture and skills, so I am happy. In my classes there are a lot of students who come from many countries to study English, so I have lots of friends and it helps me to practice my English skills. Now my language is improving and I am so happy studying in Canberra; it is a lovely city. My hope is to go on to study my academic course at CIT and then follow on to university.
