In Conversation With...
Madalena Sobral

So, tell me about yourself please:
I’m from Sintra, and I was born here and I am 18 years old. I am a student and I want to go to college next year into physiotherapy in Alcoitão.
When did you start studying at ELC?
This year is the third one and I’m in First Certificate with Katy.
And how is the course going?
I think fine – my classmates are very nice.
And what do you like best about the FCE course?
I like more the reading part and we try to see all the components and the listening is the worst for me!
So, what areas do you feel you have made most progress in?
I think in speaking because normally I start to get nervous and I don’t remember some words and I think the teachers work with me on that part in the classes
Great. How do you think English will help you in the future?
I think the language is very important because all the countries understand, it’s a language you certainly will need for work, and if you want to find a good job they always ask for English language.
What advice would you give to younger / other students coming to ELC?
I’ve talked to my brothers about it and I think I say to them, it’s a good school, it has good teachers and the space is very comfortable and Caroline is always having ideas to improve it.
Great – thank you for coming in to be interviewed.
