Welcome to Blackpool!
Hi everyone!
I’m Leonardo Dalmarco de Miranda, 20 years old, from the south of Brazil. I’m a Kaplan student in Manchester and I’ve been here for nearly 5 months now. Doing an exchange has always been one of my dreams that I wished to achieve and now it has been the best experience in my whole life. I had never left my country before and the choice of United Kingdom was fantastic, especially England. Kaplan has fulfilled my expectations about living 6 months abroad, after studying in Kaplan my English improved exponentially in 4 months.
Besides Manchester Kaplan is such a good school to study, I as well as every student who comes to experience an exchange, the most interesting thing is travelling around England with new friends that is made here. One of my trips with Kaplan was to Blackpool, which is a town located on the Northwest of Manchester and on the seaside. It is such an amusing beach, with lots of places to have fun such as an amusement park, where there is a huge roller coaster in the Pleasure Beach where it is also a very good place to enjoy the sun on the shore. When our excursion went there, we walked along the coast enjoying the refreshing sea breeze and the relaxing view of the Irish Sea. Then our social programmer took us to the heights of the Blackpool Tower Eye. We watched a 4D short film with a background about Blackpool and the Tower. On the top of the tower we stood on the glass floor and we were able to have a wonderful view of the seaside and the town.
In order to visit a different place of England, with a hospitable population and a several options of fun, Blackpool is a very good choice to go with our new friends from Kaplan, and only 1 hour by train. So don’t spend your time only with books and in the classrooms. The best way to improve your English is socializing with your new friends.
