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.

LET'S GO SHOPPING!

On Sunday we all did different things, because it's a day to stay with the family. Some of us went to an exhibition, while some others made a little trip, or they stayed all day at home playing with the children in their families. In my case Sam, my mum here, told me that we could go to the centre town at 12 o'clock. I said yes and there we met Sandra and other student and we went to the shopping center, where we met Sam's friend. Then Sandra and me went shopping. When we finished, Sam and I went home and we had dinner, and then we went for a walk and watch TV. We spent a lovely evening chatting.
It was a very nice day!

WE LOVE SWIMMING!

On Friday we woke up early. We went to school. We finished at half past twelve and we ate the packet lunch. Then we went walking to the swimming-pool. Only eight of us went to play football and the others went to take a bath. When we finished playing football, we went to the swimming-pool. There were two big pools, one with cold water and the other one with hot water, and a jacuzzi. Then we went to the bus stop and everybody took a bus and spent the evening with the host family.

OXFORD!

We got up early and we had the typical breakfast. Then, we got dress and we put on comfortable shoes because today would be a long day and we were going to walk a lot!
We started the first lesson at nine o'clock that last for and hour and after that we had a break. We did two more hours of lessons and had one break more. When we finished, we had lunch and then we took the train. Next station: OXFORD!
For some of us it was the first time we were there, others have been there twice, and for others knew the city like the back of their hand. But all of us had a surprise expression in the face when we saw the most important colleges. We visited two colleges. One of them was the Jesus College, and we learnt his history. But we didn't forget to buy some souvenirs, a usual activity everybody does when he or she goes abroad to remember the trip. In Oxford there are a lot of souvenirs shops and it's very typical to buy a jumper or a t-shirt. So, in our free time, we went shopping and we bought clothes of different colours that have different messages on it: I<3Oxford, Oxford University...
After that hard day, we came back to Leamington by train and we took the bus to go home, were our host families were waiting for us. We were really tired, but we enjoyed the day and had a very good time.

HATTON AND THE STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

On Wednesday, we started our day as always with the morning English lessons, although not all of us are very keen on having an English lesson at nine o'clock. Despite this, we managed to sail through them. We finished at 12’30 and we went straight to take the bus to Hatton. This was a new trip for this year, so event the "veterans" didn't know how this would be like.
It was a cloudy day, but luckily it didn't rain at this time. What we saw in Hatton is called "The Stairway To Heaven". There are 21 locks that allow boats to go up and down through the flyovers.. It was amazing to see how a person had to walk to one of the doors and open a gate so the water can flow filling or emptying the lock, depending on the direction of the boat - up or down, and then opening another gate, so the boat can move forward. It was incredible, and some of us took part in that, helping a couple that was travelling around England for 6 months! After that, we went to a pub to have a little snack because we were really hungry. Then, we took the bus back to Leamington and went to Newbold Terrace, where some of our families were waiting for us; some of us had to get home by bus. We spent the evening with the families.

10 PIN BOWLING AGAIN

On Tuesday, all of us arrived very early at the school and started our morning lessons at nine, on time.
After that, we had an hour to have lunch and after we walked to the bowling alley, the same we went last week. We played two games, but before starting, we had to divide in three groups of five and six people. In my group there were six people: Alexey, Roger, Oscar, Miquel, Sergi and me.
In the first game, Alexey was the best player, Miquel the second one and I was the third one. I think we scored 97, 80 and 75 each one, and I can't remember how many points got the other members of the team. Alexey was really lucky, because he won the second game too.
After that, we had some free time, and then we came back with our families.
I like the day and I think it was very enjoyable and interesting.
