				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.ecenglish.com/blogs/Malta/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/CIMG4538.jpg"><img src="http://www.ecenglish.com/blogs/Malta/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/CIMG4538-300x225.jpg" alt="CIMG4538" width="300" height="225" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2837" /></a></p>
<p>I think EC Malta is a perfect English school.  It helps the students to learn English in a short time. In EC Malta we can study English and practice speaking English with other students.  We also have Café Chat that helps us improve our speaking. I like my teachers.  They are professional and they try their best to teach us English.  The atmosphere is friendly and students from different countries are here.  So we can get familiar with different cultures. In the evening I prefer to stay at home and watch films or listen to English news.  Usually I chat with my friend on the internet and also sometimes I go out for walking. I do love Café Chat, because I can talk to different people from different countries.  I can get familiar with different cultures. As an EC student I can recommend them to study hard and to avoid speaking their mother tongue so they can learn English fast.</p>

<p>I would advise everyone who wants to improve his English to come to EC Malta for several reasons, the most important is the modern style approach in the school, which includes tools, explanation and curriculum as well as teaching staff.</p>
<p>You will find a lot of interesting activities inside and outside the school as well as facilities such as providing students with a free mobile number, as well as to assist in sports club memberships.  You will also find the nightlife in Malta more than beautiful and fun and do not forget the beauty of beaches and beautiful places that you can visit while you are in Malta.</p>
<p>In Malta and in EC Malta only you can combine study and tourism to the greatest extent possible.  Make EC Malta your first choice.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.ecenglish.com/blogs/Malta/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/MLT-DEST-Three-Cities-from-Valletta.jpg"><img src="http://www.ecenglish.com/blogs/Malta/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/MLT-DEST-Three-Cities-from-Valletta-221x300.jpg" alt="MLT DEST Three Cities from Valletta" width="221" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2815" /></a></p>
<p>International Workers&#8217; Day is also known as May Day or Labour Day and is a celebration recognizing the economic and social achievements of workers. May 1st is a national holiday in more than 80 countries and celebrated unofficially in many others.<br />
Here in Malta May 1st also coincides with the religious feast of St. Joseph the Worker, the patron saint of labourers, carpenters, joiners and many other types of craftsmen, celebrated in the town of Birkirkara. This traditional religious celebration includes the blessing of the tools and products of craftsmen and labourers, which takes place during the mass led by the archbishop in St John’s Cathedral, Valletta.  </p>
<p>Malta’s joining the European Union, which happened in 2004, is also celebrated on this day so it’s only appropriate that the 1st of May is a public holiday as the Maltese and Gozitans will actually be celebrating 3 main events.  Activities commemorating Malta’s joining the EU take place mostly in Valletta.  </p>
<p>The International Fireworks Festival display at the Grand Harbour happens on the 30th April, also in honour of Malta joining the European Union.  Expert teams from six EU countries compete for the title of Best Fireworks. The Maltese have a long rich history of crafting colourful fireworks to celebrate the country’s holidays and festivals (festas).</p>
<p>Another great event, which starts at 2pm and is one of the island’s most popular parties attended by  locals and tourists alike is the annual Massive Free Music Festival, hosted at Numero Uno, Malta’s biggest open air venue. </p>

<p>&#8221;I like to meet many students of different nationalities from all over the world and I like the classes because there are many students, and I like teacher, it’s good, especially teachers in the morning, they give great explanations.  I like to meet new people from other countries and to speak with them and I  like to go with friends to enjoy our times, and I would like to tell students in future talk about English and study – it’s very important in life for many jobs&#8221;</p>
