OUR SECOND FRIDAY

On the 17th of July, almost everyone arrived at Saint Peter's church at about half to nine. We spent half and hour speaking and sharing opinions before starting our English lessons. The exercises Ruth gave to us were more difficult than others given before. We did them quiet well, that's why I think we are improving our English! We have two breaks during the morning and in one of them, we played football in the park opposite Saint Peter's. After class, we wanted to have our packed lunches on the grass, but we couldn't because it was wet. We also had time to relax or to play football before meeting at Newbold Terrace at two o'clock. Even, we played football with a group of English people and needless to say, we won! Then, we went to a park near the swimming pool and we played baseball until it started to rain. We swam during an hour, more or less and it was amazing! After that, Father Jesus gave us some advice and we came back home.
We are looking forward to going to Alton Towers!!!

OXFORD UNIVERSITY T-SHIRTS AND JUMPERS, TODAY?

On the 16th of July, we visited Oxford, one of the most famous cities in England. However, during the morning we attended our English lessons with Ruth. In the lessons we learnt pronunciation and we cut out photos of Leamington. After class, we went to the train station because our train was leaving at 1 p.m. Owing to that, we had to go to the station really fast and we had our packed lunches in the waiting room. Once in Oxford, we visited lots of places: Carfax Tower, the Brigde of the Sighs, some colleges...We were luckily and we could visit Merton College!! It was a perfect chance so as to know how students live in Oxford. We also had one hour to go shopping, in which almost everyone bought t-shirts or jumpers of Oxford University. We came back to Leamington by train and it was completely overcrowded; we had to stand up the entire journey! And once more, when we arrived in Leamington, it was raining!
