Globalization (or globalisation
) is a modern term used to describe the changes in societies and the world economy that result from dramatically increased international trade and cultural exchange. It describes the increase of trade and investing due to the falling of barriers and the interdependence of countries. In specifically economic contexts, it is often understood to refer almost exclusively to the effects of trade, particularly trade liberalization or "free trade".

This term combines two aspects of the work: internationalization (enabling the product to be used without language or culture barriers) and localization (translating and enabling the product for a specific locale).

Hello!!
My name is Jelena , I am 24 I came in London 3 years ago and I think it is most beautiful city in the world. My aim of visiting was education, because this is very important part of our life. At the moment I am working as a receptionist in bowling center which is called hollywood Bowl, this is very famous leisure place in London. I have been working there over 2 years , this is the best place to
communicate with people and improve my English. Today was a first day of pre-sessional course, hopefully it will help me feel more confident in my studies at university.
I have chosen International hospitality and tourism management course because it will give me possibility to work in any country I want.
I love traveling, only in last year i visited France, Italy, Switzerland and Spain, traveling is my passion I like to meet new people to see new places.
Self-study is the great idea for people who want to improve English for example me at the moment training in writing and grammar, because I am not good enough in it, but the weakest areas are reading and vocabulary, I will try to do everything possible to improve it , I will read all useful materials, watch documentary, learn at least 10-20 new words a day, and hopefully at the and of the course I will be proud of myself..............
