  I came to Vancouver last year on June and started studying in 'GEOS' since June 26th for 10 weeks before I went to college. The first day, when I went to my class room, there were many people from different countries. Everyone was so kind and friendly including teachers, students and counselors. When I was in 'GEOS', still many students were shy to speak in English because of their English skills, But all the teachers encouraged them to speak English and helped them whenever they needed help. I don't know about other ESL schools, But 'GEOS' was strict about 'English policy' and I guess this helped every students to speak English at least while they are inside the school. Furthermore, I think school gave us an opportunity to meet new friends from different countries with different cultures. I hung out with new friends and experienced new cultures. Even if I graduated long time ago, I still want to say thank you to everyone who's in 'GEOS' and strongly recommend to people whose looking for ESL school to learn English and desire to experience new things.
