LO QUE USTED NO SABE DE SANTA BARBARA
Transcription
Welcome to Santa Barbara, California. With its spectacular views of gently sloping hills, Santa Barbara is often considered the American Riviera. I decided to go to Santa Barbara because I wanted to improve my English and see beautiful places. I knew that Santa Barbara was going to be great. I chose the EF School in Santa Barbara because it is really sunny, the weather is good. We can go to the beach. We can go to the swimming pool, and get a tan. The EF International Language Center is located in downtown Santa Barbara, a short walk away from the beach and Main Street. We believe in an interactive teaching method with faculty who supports and assists you in your learning progress everyday. Our teaching method, the EF Efekta Learning System, is tailored to facilitate your language learning. You will learn English faster than you could ever imagine. Each student gets their own iPad during the class. It’s really interactive and the students really benefit a lot from it. They love how much they get to speak and interact with the other students. ILab is quite similar to the iPad classes. The only difference is that here we’re using computers. They have more tools available to them as well. They have the internet at their disposal. I decided to come here to the United States to learn English, because when I go back to Chile, I will keep studying engineering and it will help me in my future job. What makes Santa Barbara so special is that over 90 per cent of our students live with host families. It’s an opportunity for them to learn about a new culture while sharing their own culture. They speak English with their families and interact in a real world situation outside of the classroom. Students can also choose to stay at EF’s student residence. We have a really great residence here at Santa Barbara. It is very centrally located to school. One of the best things about our residence is you actually get to live with other American students. I have been living at the Tropicana for the last four months. I like it a lot because there are a lot of facilities like the gym, the cafeteria, and the movie room where you can watch movies. Santa Barbara has a lot to offer, and our activities coordinator will help you fulfill your wish list. Santa Barbara offers everything you could imagine. You can walk anywhere. You can get around by car, by foot, by bicycle. Everything is easy here in Santa Barbara. You can do beach volleyball, we offer kayaking. We have sunset cruises and whale watching. The sky is the limit as far as beach activities go. We offer hiking up into the mountains. You get a beautiful view of Santa Barbara. You can go to the beach every day. You can go shopping. The people are really kind, really nice! They say hello every time. When you are on the street, they talk with you. I like so much to travel with my friends, and Santa Barbara has good opportunities for it. I went paragliding last week. It was pretty amazing being there and it was a really different experience for me. Enjoy the scenic waterfront, which features Stearns Wharf, the oldest operating wharf on the West Coast. I’m a surfer and I came here because there are very good spots like Rincon Beach, Sand Spit and Campus Point. Study with EF Santa Barbara and return home with memories that last a lifetime.
