HP!

On Wednesday we started with English lessons, and everything seemed to be as everyday, but the leaders had a surprise for us: instead of going to the bowling alley, that afternoon we could choose between going to the cinema to watch Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows (part 2) or going to the swimming-pool. Most of us chose Harry Potter, so we all end up going there. A lot of us bought popcorn and a large bottle of pepsi. We were so thrilled that we could hardly shut up during the film. It was amazing to see the final fight between Harry and Lord Voldemort, or that was what some of us think, because others were getting really bored.
When the film finished, we had some free time, and after that we came back home with our host families.

STRATFORD & SHAKESPEARE

On Tuesday we started the lessons at nine o'clock, like every morning. We are in Mr. Khalid's group and that day we were doing speaking all the morning. After that, we went to Victoria Gardens and we had lunch there. We were very comfortable lying on the grass and we had a very good lunch. Then we had to go to the Parish Church to take the bus to Stratford.
When we arrived at Stratford, we got out the bus and the first stop of our trip was visiting Shakespeare's house, the place where he lived during his childhood. First we watch a video about his life and his work and then we visited all the rooms in the house, where there were people that explained things about how Shakespeare's family lived. And when we were finishing the visit, we saw an actor that knew a lot of plays by heart and we saw him performing some parts of them. One of the girls, Maria, had to play the Juliet role. It was really amazing!
After this, we had free time and while a part of our group went shopping, the other one follow Father Jesus to visit the church where Shakespeare is buried. We could see his grave there. Next, we visit a theater.
After, some of us took a boat and others went to McDonal's to eat an ice-cream. We met at five and we went back to Leamington and then we went home and spent the evening with the host family.

LEAMINGTON QUIZ

On Monday, we started lessons at nine o'clock in the morning, as everyday, where we learnt the first conditional and we completed our scrap-book. After the lessons, we had our respectives packed lunch in Victoria Park and then we met Father Jesus at Jephson Gardens, where he gave us the questions we had to solve for winning the quiz. We walked around Leamington to find all the answers and some of them were very different. Moreover, we had to go to the libraty and read some books with information that helped us. Finally, at half past five, we met at Newbold Terrace and we came back home without knowing the results.
