IN THE COUNTY OF WARWICKSHIRE


Today is Tuesday. In the afternoon we went to Warwick after having our lunch. In Warwick we saw a lot of fantastic places and curiosities. We visited the Lord Leicester Hospital. It was strange because the houses are very old, and beside you can imagine is not for ill people but for retired people. Specifically we visited the very big and beautiful Church of Saint Mary and we learned about its history and famous people buried inside. Then we went to see the famous big and nice Warwick Castle. Next to it there was a catapult.
One of the most special things we visited was the garden by the river Avon. It had a lot of exotic plants and flowers. It was next to the Castle. Here there was an old man that kindly let us go in. We had a very nice view of the Castle.
This day has been very exciting and nice.

OUR FIRST DAY


This is our first day in Leamington. I woke up at seven o’clock. Then I had a shower and breakfast with Sam. At a half past eight we went to school. There we had a little exam and did some exercises about spelling. We made interviews in pairs telling what we expect from the English lessons.

We went to Jephson Gardens for our lunch. There we had fun with a squirrel that agreed some seeds we gave it. Then after we marked in a map the main places for our interest, meeting point, buses stops, The Church Centre for the lessons, and more places. After that we walked up to the travel shop and we got the Megarider Pass. We had some free time and we went into the Priors Shopping Centre. At half past five we went back to our families. Some of them came to collect the student.

ONCE MORE GOING TO ENGLAND


Today Sunday I got up at 10:30 because I was very excited about my journey. When I was ready, my family and I went to the airport. Once there we had to wait for everyone. Then all of the students said goodbye to their families and we went through the airport control. We took the plane.

When we arrived in London we had to take the coach. It took two hours and a half to get to Leamington because there was an accident on the motorway. Finally we met our families. It was amazing meeting the families. At home I talked to my family about our year and then I went to bed.
