Good morning,

We are writing to tell you how life in Malta is.

In the morning, we have English lesson at University (from Monday to Friday).
Our lesson begin at 9.00 am until 12.30. In the afternoon, there are a lot of activities at University.
We started on the 5th of October 2009, and we will finish our lesson at University on the 18th of December.
Then, on the 1st of February we’ll begin our work placement in a company.
Aurelia could like to do her work placement in the Marketing’s sector, and Melanie in the Management of an International chain.
Our work placement will finish on the 7th of May 2010.

Every Saturday afternoon, we’ve business lesson with a private teacher.
Our teacher comes in our residence for this lesson from 01.00 pm until 04.00 pm.
We have to build a business plan/project (similar to “Cas Crea”) with her. By the end of January this has to be ready.
Aurelia’s about a European Hotel Restaurant with sustainable materials, and Melanie is working on a hypermarket with automatic cashdesk and scan because in Malta there aren’t any.

We’re staying in”Garden View” in Swieqi. It’s a very nice residence. We’ve made a lot of friends from different countries.
In this residence, there is a pool, a gym, a restaurant, a launderette and we have a self catering flat. We have a bedroom each, a bathroom and a kitchen in our flat.
We aren’t very far from the University, we spend approximately thirty minutes by bus to University.

The weather in Malta is good. Last September and October, it was around 25°C, and in November and December, it’s 15 - 20°C.
Until now, we haven’t seen a lot of rains.

We’re going back to France on the 19th of December for Christmas and we’ll come back to Malta in the middle of January.

We hope to have answered all your questions.

Best regards,

Melanie and Aurelia.
