Это островное государство. Оно занимает территорию в два крупных острова и несколько поменьше. Его побережье длинной в 6000 миль. Сравнивая с Россией, этот остров покажется маленьким, но географически он разнообразен. Южная и восточная части острова состоят из плоских равнин и холмов. Горные районы обнаружены только на севере и западе. В этой стране ты никогда не будешь вдали от берега, там также находится множество морских курортов. Климат умеренный, никогда не бывает слишком жарко или холодно. Идут постоянные дожди большую часть года. Главные пассажирские порты и аэропорты находятся на юго-востоке. Это богатая страна, одна из самых богатых в мире. 

London University is one of the (highly) appreciated universities in the world, therefore, I wanted to be accepted there. But I was lucky and I was accepted there. I (had to) make two trips to London before I started one for the interview and another to find accommodation. The university provided students with information about flats. By the time the semester began, I (had already found) a place to live and a roommate. While I was studying, I didn’t think about work and how I (am earning) my living after university. When the time came, I realized that languages had always interested me so I applied for several jobs to teach English abroad. Obviously, I didn’t have any experience but I thought I had a small chance of (being accepted). In the end, a letter came and I felt nervous as I opened it. But the news (was) good! The letter offered me a job in a Swedish school. I knew the winter weather in Sweden was cold so I bought some warm clothes. Then I had a farewell party and everyone wished me good luck in my new life as a teacher. Since then I (have had) a lot of jobs in different countries and I am happy to say that I have enjoyed all of them. But I have wondered many times what (would have happened) if that first letter had turned me down.
