Departamento de Inglés

 Anjalyne made our first school exchange with Águeda Villaverde de 4ºS. She was with us from 2nd Feb to 4th April.  2014. Here it is what she wrote about her experience at Eduardo Pondal school.

I had a wonderful time inSantiago, and eventhough it was nerve racking at first I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything in the world. The thing that I liked most about my trip was the people I met. I could not have asked for anybetter friends, and the amount of Spanish that I learnt here would take me a whole year to learn at school in Canada. One thing that I loved about Santiago was the amazing culture and history, specially of the old buildings.

The thing that surprised me most about Santiago was definitely the school. I say that because it is a lot more difficult than what I amm used to studying in Canada. With that said, I think studying here in Spain has definitely opened my eyes as to what I need to prepare for in the future. One other things that took me a while to get used to was the way the day is layed out. When I say that I mean, that when they eat meals and the time they go to sleep was almost a complete change from the daily layout of Canada.

Although it was hard to be away from home for 9 weeks, considering all the memories I have made, the friends that i have made, and the things that I have learned I would never turn up the oportunity to do it all over again. I can’t wait to come as soon as I possibly can.

Three weeks ago we went on a trip to London. Most of the guys in the 3rd level participated in the excursion. Being together for four days was enjoyable!.

Everyday was full of activities: We visited plenty of museums, like the British Museum and The National History one. We also had a ride on The London Eye. The views couldn’t be more impressive! The Houses of Parliament and The Big Ben were as great as the ride on the wheel. It was all incredible.! Apart from that, we went to Greewich by boat. I am sure everybody enjoyed the boat trip.

In this trip we could also spend some time shopping in Oxford and Regent Street. There are a lot of cool big shops shops there.

At night, we spent our time between Picadilly Circus and Leicester Square, a very crowded place in the evenings.

The main goals of this trip were enjoying and learning more English. I think we´ve done it! It was an amazing excursion without any doubt!

Last March, twenty one students and two teachers were in London from Tuesday 11th to Saturday 15th.

We visited many different places such as museums, a big theatre where we saw The Lion King, Greewich, The London Eye, The Big Ben , St. Paul’s Cathedral… Wew sailed Along The River Thames on a small boat and we passed under The Tower Bridge and many beautiful buildings along the river banks.

We moved around the sity by The Tube and on the last day we got on a famouus red bus. It was amazing because we learnt a lot about hoe English people live.

Everyday we had our “Meal Deal” ( a sandwich, a drink and a snack ) at lunch and we had dinner at Picadilly Circus. However, the most important thing is that we were with our friends.

Thank you teachers for this incredible trip!

On 24th April 3º ESO class 3S went to London in a great trip.

The Easyjet departure was from Oporto airport to Gawick near London, it took us 2 hours and a half. From there we took a train to tyhe hotel which was in Goodge Street near all the famous places ( Buckingham palace, Houses of Parliament, King’s Cross..). WE also visited museums, parks, streets… And when the day finished at night, we were always really tired. On tyhe way back we took a train to Gatwick airport to Oporto, from there we went home by bus.

What did you like most? The Shard ( It was very high), The Houses of Parliament and the free time I had with my friends.

What did you like least? NOTHING

What did you learn ? A lot of things in the museums and a little more English.

I would return again to London because it is a beautiful city and it was Great!

From 23rd  to 27th April, students from 3S went on a trip to London. It was a long trip as we flew from Oporto and we stayed there for 5 days.

Day 1. We took the coach to Oporto , it took us 3 hours, but it was fun as we were talking and watching the scenery. Then we took the plane to Gatwick airport, it took us 2 hours, upon arrival we took the shuttle to get to Terminal South and get the train to London Victoria. I noticed that the people there walked very fast as it was the rush hour and we had to hurry not to miss the tube.In my opinion everything was different: People hurried everywhere and things were not the same. WE stopped at Goodge Street to leave the bags at the Ridgemount Hotel, which was pretty good and the service not bad. Next, we went the the banks of the river Thames and saw the famous Big Ben. Later we went to have fun at Leicester square, where we were so happy that at the end of the day we ended up there. We bought some souvenirs and had dinner and it was one of our favourite parts of the day.

Day 2. In the morning we visited the British Museum and we were lucky to see the temporary exhibition abou Pompeii, which I liked very much. In the afternoon we visited Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament, thenn we headed to the London Eye. Before going for a ride, we watched the special effect 4D exhibition whivh I enjoyed a lot. Eventually, we got onto a capsule af the London Eye and we were alone in it.All of us in one capsule!As i went really high we could see much of London and I really enjoyed it. Then, we walked along the River banks and crossed the Millennium bridge to visit St Paul’s Cathedral.

Day 3. In the morning we got the tube to The Natural History Museum. It is amazing, specially the huge dinosaurs skelentons we saw there and I think my friends liked them too. In the afternoon, we visited harrods, a very large store with a lot of luxury goods, wher many rich people buy there. Next, we went walking the see Buckinham Palace and the guards at the main entrance, however, we didn’t see the queen. Later, we went to see the Lion King Musical. It was impressive and specially the super effects on the stage. The actors played very well, it was worth watiching it.

Day 4. We visited the shop which is inside the Sherlock Holmes Museum full with items related to Sherlock Holmes. Then , we went to Trafalgar Square where there is a high pilar with Nelson the Admiral and surrounded by huge bronce lions.We entered the National gallery to see the bautifullly painted pictures which I consider to be works of art. we had free afternoon to go shopping.

Day 5. We made the trip back to Santiago.

What I liked most? Everything I did I liked it a lot.But I think the London Eye was our top visit, because we could see all London from above.

The least I lked: Nothing! Everything was great!

What I learned: I learnt many things, for example how big a sequoia can be, it can measure up to 100 m.!

This is a trip I encourage you to take part in. Everything goes well and you discover many things and it is an unforgettable experience.

For me this trip is the best thing of my life ever. In a common trip you see lot of cultures, and a lot of other things; but this trip is special because a trip with your friends is the best of all. You can do a lot of things, go trtying in other places, meaning new places with them. The best thing of the trip was visiting

The Natural History Museum because I love Nature and this museum contains all about nature. I bought a lot of beautiful stones in the museum.

The bad thing of the trip was the attitude of a teacher who was staying next to our room. 

If I could change anything I’d change the weather, but this doesn’t depend on us!

Up to this moment My Best Trip!!
