WARWICK, A TOWN WITHIN THE COUNTY OF WARWICKSHIRE



The 14th of July was the second Tuesday of our stay in Leamington. Despite we are feeling more comfortable here because we are not so lost, we have the chance to learn, see or visit something new everyday. The day started in a funny way: all of us were sitting down in the building where we attend our classes, chatting and laughing at the rivalry between my Real Madrid t-shirt and Nil's Barcelona one, while our teacher was getting ready to start the class. We started class at 9 a.m. and after one hour hwe had a fifteen minutes break. We really enjoy Ruth's classes because they are very dynamic and interesting, but we must have in mind that it is quite difficult for us to attend classes in summer...After class, we had our packed lunches on the grass and had a walk around Leamington. Some of us went to our favourite sport's shop, which is in the shopping centre meanwhile some others went to Mc'Donalds to have an ice-cream. We met the group at 1.25 p.m and we caught the x17 bus to go to Warwick. I really enjoy cultural visits!! Warwick is a town within the county of Warwickshire. It has got incredible monuments such as the castle, some churches, Leicester Hospital...We learnt a lot about all these places thanks to Father Jesus' explanations. Then, we went to a park were we were supposed to play mini golf. However, it was not possible. Consequently, we changed our plans and decided to play rugby in the park or to walk into the town. I preferred to play rugby, but unfortunately, I started to feel pain on my neck. We caught the bus again to go home, where we had dinner with our families.

OUR SECOND WEEK STARTS



Today, on the 13th of July, a week has passed: we did a lot of activities, trips and cultural visits.


In class, we reviewed all the vocabulary we learnt last week. We also did some listening, speaking and grammar. After classes, we had lunch on the grass all together because luckily, it was sunny, as you can see in the photographs. However, a few of us were really hungry and left the group for a while and went to a shop to buy some food. After that, we met at Parish church bus stop and we caught the bus to go to the bowling centre. Although we have been there more than once, we always enjoy ourselves! Then, Father Jesus gave us some advice into how to help us fit in with our English family and he asked us how things were going, how we were feeling with them and so on. After that, we came back to Leamington and caught our buses to go straight home.
