THE FIRST DAY
 students class 19.JPG)
You should go to Abon House (25 Saint John's Road, Clifton), except in July and August when you should go direct to the Coulson Centre (36 College Road, Clifton).
We start at 09.15, so it is best to arrive at the English Language Centre around 09.00. All you need to bring with you is something to write with, good walking shoes, an umbrella (just in case) and your passport as we need to take a copy of this.
We introduce ourselves and then give you a test. During the English test, the Director of Studies interviews you to see how well you speak English.
The test has 100 questions (multiple choice). We also ask you to write something about yourself.
After the test, there is a break, during which time you can watch a short film about Bristol and have coffee and snacks. A sandwich man visits the school every breaktime.
At 11.30 we begin the 'Welcome talk'. You will meet all the admin. team, the social programme manager and the Director of Studies. We aim to tell you everything you need to know in order to get the most out of your stay.
After the talk, we take you for lunch in a nearby cafe and then go for a walk around Bristol, showing you all the main places of interest.
We arrive back at school around 3.30 pm and tell you which class you will be in the next day.
