¡Feliz verano en familia!

Finalizada ya la estancia de todos los grupos, deseo que se hayan cumplido los objetivos que nos marcamos año tras año, no olvidando que el esfuerzo y la constancia son irrenunciables para que se haga realidad el que "saber idiomas es la puerta que te abre al mundo".

Agradezco, una vez más, la confianza que han puesto en Idiomas Padre Manyanet y les deseo que pasen un ¡Feliz verano en familia!

Hasta siempre,

WE ARE BACK HOME

      After yesterday final Farewell Gathering, we have been saying goodbye to our families. Some of us would like to stay for a long time but our parents are waiting for us in Madrid and in Barcelona.

      As we said bye bye this morning some tears come out. We have had a very nice stay with the families and we’ll miss them a lot. We had some presents from our families but what is more important that we bring home is their hospitality and care for us.

      We are looking forward to get in Spain and enjoy with our parents the rest of this summer. Some of us is already planning to come back next year.

      Thank you, families and teachers. We had a wonderful time in Leamington.

THE LAST DAY

      Yesterday like every day we went to class and we learnt something different. We finished the class we had free time for having lunch and buying things for the families. Then we were preparing the Party. It was very funny. Every people liked it.

    We did a lot of things like singing and showing the Project we did in class. When we finished this we gave pictures of us to the families and flowers for the teachers. The end were very near and we all were becoming sad. Finished the Party we went with our families or at home or at a restaurant or to a pub. We day was full of many things we did and so we enjoyed a lot.

      Every day is the same routine, getting up and ready, having breakfast and going for the lessons. Today the bus service was horrible full of people and no everybody could seat. We work in our lessons the comparatives and more thing with games and songs.

      When we finished the lessons we met Fr Sorribes who wished us the best for this summer and the year to come. Then we went to Birmingham by train. There we visited The Pen Centre in the Jewellery Quarter. There were a lot of pens or nibs because Birmingham was very important place for this industry. We also were able to practise the handwriting with feathers. Then we went back to the city centre and had some free time for some shopping.

      We went back to our families and we had dinner. It was another day in England.

SWIMMING IN THE SUN

     Today we had a very nice day. As everyday we startes the class at nine o’clock and we learned a lot of different things. Aslo we were listening some songs and do a lot of exercises.

      At 12:00 we finishedthe class and after we had lunch, we went to the simming pool and enjoyed it a lot because we went through the slim. Also we were practising the songs that we are going to sing in the Farewell on Friday.

      After that we came back to town to catch the buses to go back home. We spent the evening enjoying with our families.

OXFORD

      Today at 9 o’clock we went to school like every day. We learnt the passive and active voice and we heard two songs about the conditional and passive voice.

      After the lessons we went to the railway station. We had to wait the train for half an hour. After that we arrived in Oxford. We visited the city centre and we entered University College. We also visited the oldest library of Oxford. Then we had free time to go shopping and we bought a lot of things.
      Back in Leamington we went home and we enjoyed with our families.

DISCOVERING ROYAL LEAMINGTON SPA

      Today before starting the English lessons at 9 o’clock, we were planning what to do for the Party and Farewell next Friday evening. In class we revised the sonnets we wrote last week. We also did some exercises in pairs on conversations as between a doctor and his patients. We practised the prepositions and learnt a bit more about their use as we have some confusions when to use one or another.

      After class we went to the park to have our lunch. In the afternoon we explored Leamington with an across the board game. It was not easy to follow the instructions some times because we didn’t understand the instructions sometimes for we got confused between east and west. Some of us found it difficult for we had to walk.

      When time was over we went to the Bowls lawn and had a game. It seems to be easy get de bowls near the jack but it is not because the bowls are not balls and they roll turning one or other side. People passing by stared at us thinking we were practising for the next week National Championship of English Bowls in Leamington.
