This is berief information to be familiar with the European Union.


History of the European  Union.

 The European Union is short for European Union.It is a center for economy and politics.it
 includes 27 countries,which are Austria,Belgium,Bulgaria,Cyprus,Czech Republic,Denmark,Estonia,Finland,France,Germany,Greece,Hungary,Ireland,Italy,Latvia,Lithuania,Luxembourg,Malta,Netherlands,Romania,Poland,Portugal,Slovakia,Slovenia,Spain,Sweden and United Kingdom.In the early days,the EU was just focus on the common trade policies for coal,steel ,solotions for some problems in some countries and agriculture. Start with the idea  and history of the European Union.
     In 1951 the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) was established. It had six members: BelgiumWest Germany,LuxembourgFranceItaly and the Netherlands. The venture was very successful.
     In 1957 the ECSC's six members decided to pool other areas of their economies. They signed the Treaties of Rome, creating the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) and the European Economic Community (EEC). The members began to remove trade barriers for form a 'common market'.
     In 1967 the institutions of the three European Communities - ECSC, EURATOM and EEC - were merged. Then
     In 1970s,DenmarkIreland the the UK joined the EU.
     In 1979 the first direct elections to the European Parliament were held - citizens of member states were able to vote for candidates. 
     Greece joined the EU in 1981.
     Spain and Portugal joining in 1986.
     In 1995 AustriaFinland and Sweden joined the EU.
     On 1 January 2002, the euro was introduced in 12 EU countries
     The EU welcomed 10 new countries in 2004: Cyprus, the CzechRepublicEstoniaHungaryLatviaLithuaniaMaltaPolandSlovakiaand Slovenia.
     The candidate countries, BulgariaCroatiaRomania and Turkeyare expected to join in 2007. In my experience going the United Kingdom is right idea and it has advantages more than disadvantages.for example the united kingdom  has own visa and currency .therefore these benefit and feature have give the UK balance between his economic and apolitical .As well as these a big symbol that the United Kingdom is  intelligent and power to control his problems among others countries.

Dear students,
Education is one of the quality of life because it has really many advantages for people and for the future. Therefore, since I was young, my dream was is to complete my education till higher education which is the level of education. When I graduated in 2004_2005, I used to work at networking railway in my own country for six months. After that, I was planning to go abroad in order to continue study and obtain MSC in development countries such as the US or the UK. I have obtained a scholarship from my government which is for three years in the United Kingdom. I went to Leicester which located in England to start studying English language there from January to July. After six months I have got an offer from the University of Glamorgan. This offer consisted of Premaster and Mater as well. My subject is Surveying Engineering, in MSC I will study Geographical Information System which related to Surveying. In terms of Glamorgan University is good institute to study particularly in Engineering. In addition, as Glamorgan located to Wales, so that Wales is actually nice and modern place especially at the summer.  To sum up, it is recommended that education is important in our life and plays big role to decide your life destination.

First feeling to Wales.


My first impression in Wales.


Dear Students,
First of all, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Mohamed from Libya, 26 years old. I am studying PMP course at the University of Glamorgan as well as my special subject is (GIS) which stand of Geographic Information System. It is new technology in engineering and also big opportunity for me to study it, but I need to study hard to collect enough knowledge in terms of this course. I used to work at network railway station in my country as an engineer. I have been working in this employment for seven months.


After that I have obtained a scholarship for three years. First year has only particular for learning English language. The second year as a foundation in PMP course and the final year will be studying MSC degree. Therefore, I came here to the United Kingdom to complete me high education.  I used to live in Leicestershire to learn English Language at Demon Fort University. I have been there for six months.
  
Moving now to Wales, especially the capital city and also the village where I am studying PMP course which called Treforest. Wels is a nice area around the UK. Particularly the country side which are consist of rivers, Meadows and pastures. Cardiff has considered the heart of Wales of saluting the economic and education. When I came here as first time, I was really surprising contrast with other cities in the United Kingdom. For example, Contrast Cardiff to Leicestershire, it is big different. People in Cardiff are more reliable, helpful and friendly to Leicester. Moreover, Cardiff has many beautiful areas, such as Cardiff Castle, National Coal Museum, Dyffryn Gardens and Wales Millennium Centre. In addition, it has huge city centre, as well as Walsh people have own Language which has been considering the second Language to Wales, even they spoken English Language which is the first language they look after their second language. For example,    many sings on the street and different places have been written by English Language and Walsh Language, which indicate that Walsh people are still running this language and look after it. Hence, Wales has a unique impression between all cities in the United Kingdom.


  In summary, Cardiff is one of the main direction in the UK, and very important for me to visit, to discover new culture, and also to take pictures which are   big evidence to visit. All these, permit me to have good experience and transfer this experience to my country to knowledge more about welsh people and the United Kingdom. Cardiff is one of the beautiful cities, which I recommended to anybody to visit, and also to explore new culture, different language and massive history in the Great Britain.
