I was born in Italy so Italian is my native language but, I started studying English from primary school. Knowing more than one language is a fundamental aspect today because more often people travel around the world for business or for pleasure. Therefore, in middle school, I started spending some weeks during the summer to learn and practice English fluency attending colleges in the UK.
Then since I wanted to meet the requirement for the application at the university, while I was doing the High School exam, between the second and the third test, I took the IELTS (according to the official website, the high stakes English test for international study, migration and work) and I passed it with an overall score of 7.
All these certifications are a proof of my attitude and my availability at travelling that it is a necessary skill for an international career.
