My life

I am going to speak about who I am and about my life, and about how well or not is the life in Preston.

First of all, I need to introduce myself. I am Anton from Latvia. Some people do not know where Latvia is.

It is the heart of Baltics, a country in the Northern Europe. I came from the East of Latvia, close to Russian border. So it is not surprising that I am a half Russian and a half Latvian. I can speak, write or read in two languages fluently.

I wanted to learn something more and to go outside my country and to learn new things. These are main reason why I am there in Preston.

So why did I choose Preston? I had a variety of different Universities all over the UK but Preston attracted me more for the several reasons. You know, it is not easy to choose the university when you do not know about it. The University of Lancashire had sent me a lot of information included prospects, newspapers, letters and even flyers to night clubs. I assume it was the main reason. However, I looked how good it has geographical position, is it linked with other like Manchester. Finally, I have heard about this Uni a lit bit.

So it was a reason to come.

To be honest, I like the life in Preston. I am alright with my studies. It is not easy because of English and moreover, the method of teaching is slightly different to Latvian one.

I have my job which I like very much. I am a pizza man. If you want to try really tasty pizza you are welcome to visit the place where I am working. It is just opposite “Staples” car park.

Besides this, I am doing English classes to improve my English speaking. I have English elective classes and I attend some workshops or free English classes where the teachers are nice.

So this was just a small description of my life and I hope someone will be interested to read.

If you would to know about me, you are always welcome to ask me.
