More and more people think it necessary to study in an English-speaking country and it didn’t take long at all for me to decide to come and study in UK.

After lessons, we have 2 hours of activity time, when you can choose from a number of activities, including many sports, such as rugby(英式橄榄球) , football, basketball and tennis.

Put a frog in the water and start heating the water． As the temperature of the water rises， the frog is able to adjust its body temperature． The frog keeps on adjusting with the increase in temperature．
Just when the water is about to reach the boiling point， the frog is not able to adjust anymore．
At that point the frog decides to jump out．

There are times when we need to face the situation and take the proper action．
