Read the text below. Choose from (A-H) the one which best fits each space (16-21). There are two choices you do not need to use. With thousands of English Language Studying Programmes (16) students often have a difficult time identifying the ideal programme for them. So, in order to make the right choice, students should consider a number of factors. First, find a programme that will help you to reach your goals, whether they are for business, entrance to a university, or pleasure. Look over the programme's website and see if you can find a statement which should reveal the programme's own goals. Ask for a copy of a class syllabus to see (17). Talk to current or former students to see what their experiences were like. Second, look into the teachers' qualifications to see not only (18) but also what experiences they have had working with international students. Do the teachers have experience working overseas? Do they speak another language? If so, they might have a better understanding of the educational backgrounds of their students. Third, ask about the student composition of the programme. How many nationalities are represented in the classes? A broad mix of students will give you a variety of opportunities to speak English and learn about other foreign cultures. However, even if there are students (19) you can still have a very positive experience, especially if the teacher encourages the use of English in class. On the other hand, don't choose a programme solely based on classroom composition. Remember that you will only be in class a few hours a day, so you'll actually have more time outside of class (20) so THAT is your real classroom. Then, compare the prices of programmes in the area you want to live. Just remember that price is not the best indicator of a programme's quality, though keep in mind that better and more experienced instructors are often paid more, and thus, the tuition reflects this. Also, the school might provide good computer, recreational, and educational facilities (21) to a good learning atmosphere, and thus, this can be added to your tuition cost. Thus, as the experience shows, you get what you pay for. A) how long they have been teaching B) that can contribute C) what will be studied in the class D) to interact with people in the community E) high standards of excellence F) caused by the poor preparation G) who speak your language spread out around the world H) Use of English
