I was a student in Habibi Center for 10 months. I was studying at another school before Habibi Center. Then my old school closed and my teacher told me: \u201cthere is another school and we will go there to register you\u201d. I accepted immediately because I wanted to improve my English language and I did not want to stop halfway. Then I went and spoke with the new teacher and I took a simple test to find out my level and the right class for me.  The next day of the registration was my first day in school. I was not comfortable because the place, students and teachers were new to me. In very short time it became very comfortable for me, I got used to the place and I made many new friendships.  There is usually a distance between students and teachers, but here we felt as if teachers were our friends and our siblings.  In those 10 months, I learned a lot and my English improved a lot. With the help of teachers and the school I could take the KET Cambridge exam, and I passed it with high marks I\u2019d never expected! This is all thanks to the teaching and effort of teachers with me and with all students. The level of education is high and that helped me to improve more and more.  I spent a really great time in Habibi Center with lovely friends and teachers while I was studying there. I hope I\u2019ll be back there someday to visit that cosy place and their great people.  Thanks to Habibi Center and to everyone who makes it possible!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SHERIF (SYRIA) JANUARY 2019 TO NOVEMBER 2019 I\u2019m Sherif.
