Last summer, I was lucky to travel to England to study English in July. I took a plane from A Coruña to London Heathrow with a stewardess as companion. When we landed a teacher was awaiting to translate us to the school Box Hill, in Dorking city.
There were children from different countries. In my bedroom we were six girls: two Turkish, Eda and Bilur, one French, Louise, one Uucranian, Solomilla, and two Spanish, Marine and Carmen (me).
The first day was the worst, because I didn´t Know the school, I didn’t find the living room and I couldn’t have dinner. Afterwards I knew that other kids had the same problem as me.
In the morning, we had an English level exam. I was in the Highest PRE-INTERMEDIATE course. In my classroom we were 11 children.
Each morning, after breakfast we had an assembly with some teachers, and they taught us common sentences, for example: “After you” ( después de ti ), “Eggs on your face” (flipar en colores ) etc.
We had three hour class, from nine to twelve thirty. In the afternoon, we did different activities such as : football, rounders, tennis, cooking, arts and crafts, basketball, swimming etc. Before dinner we had to do our homework between five thirty and six thirty. Later, we watched a movie. At ten we went to sleep.
On Wednesday and Saturday we went on a trip to London. We saw: Hide Park, Hampton Court Palace, The Big Ben, The Science Museum…
On Sunday, in England, they have breakfast and lunch together, it is called “BRUNCH”. This was very surprising to me.
I enjoyed it very much. I met a lot of people. I would like to come back there next year.
