Expenses
Main source of funding:
Personal savings
Other sources of funding:
Family
Work opportunities:
I worked, but it was illegal/cash in hand work
Personal spending habits
The fees for food, telephone and accommodation in England are higher than those in China. Therefore, I spent more money on them. As for travel, it is easier for me to get visa of European countries in England than in China. So I have more chances to travel. Regarding with Nightlife, the nightlife is less interesting in England than in China, so I spend less time on it.

Personal comments
I live with a British family. Therefore I have to communicate with them every day. Besides, I work as a volunteer for a local nursery school and all staff and children are local people, so I have to speak to them in English. As well in the university, I have to speak in English with my tutor and international students.
