There is big planning that he had put to join the ELC Course, he will get one chance to get practice his study in Malaysia, but to realize that, he has to get more knowledge of English and of course he must past the some test of English like TOEFL ITP. He can get it by join ELC which has some relation with International University like Cambridge University.

At the first time, he wanted to join Briton English Course, but Briton could open new class just in March at the time, so he had to choose other English course and finally he choose ELC instead.

Sometimes he went to course after come back from his college, because his way home is past his course place in Jln Lamadukelleng no.60 Makassar.

Since he joined the course, he felt he can fulfill his need about English, more practice and he like it very much.
