Work and travel in Australia
Around London in 80 plates The British capital is one of the most diverse cities in the world, and it has the restaurants to prove it. So, whenever you want to take a break from fish and chips, Cornish pasty, and scones, why not treat your taste buds to a culinary trip around the world and enjoy London’s deliciously international food culture? 1. Busaba. With over ten locations in London, chances are, you’re always close to a Busaba restaurant— and that’s exactly how it should be because eating no-fuss Thai food that bursts with flavor is a good idea way more often than one might think. 2. Ceviche. Ceviche’s atmosphere is as vibrant as the food is tasty. This award-winning restaurant chain combines Peruvian traditions with the city’s creativity to present dishes that are nothing short of magical.
4. Motherclucker. Whenever you’re in the mood for some mouthwatering fried chicken that’s covered in rich batter, seasoned with love, and served out of a converted US Army ambulance, Motherclucker is the place to go.
With its cuddly koalas, curious kangaroos and laid-back locals, Australia is a vacationer’s dream come true. But what if you want to stay in this beautiful country for longer – without breaking the bank? Well, that’s what the Australian Working Holiday Visa is for.

A peek at what’s inside:
This visa (for which most – but not all – countries are eligible), allows young people to work while traveling around the country. You’ll be able to stay in Australia for up to a year, and even extend the visa to a second year under certain circumstances. Within that one year you’re allowed to study English for up to 17 weeks, and work for several employers. PAGE 03
You cannot work for one employer for longer than six months though, so most jobs are casual, with bartending, fruit-picking, fundraising, and babysitting among the most popular choices.

American universities generally require the TOEFL. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) measures your ability to use North American English in academic settings. The test takes about four hours to complete, and the results are valid for two years. Some US institutions also accept the Cambridge English exams and IELTS.
If you’re drawn to non-US academic institutions, then the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is your best bet. Like the TOEFL, IELTS is only valid for two years. You can also take one of the Cambridge English Exams, which are pass/fail but whose scores are valid for life.
Most global companies ask for the TOEIC (the Test of English for International Communication), which evaluates English used in the workplace. There are two different types of exams – the TOEIC Listening & Reading Test, and the TOEIC Speaking & Writing Test. Much like the IELTS and the TOEIC, the tests are score-based and your results will be valid for two years. -> Find out more about our exam courses at www.ef.com
