Exchange programme. Trip to England, November 2009



Composition written by Lucía P.R. 4º ESO A

The aeroplane landed in London at London Stanted Airport. First we went to the school where we were going to spend some of our stay. The school was impressive.
The families that would receive us in their houses were there to welcome us, they were waiting for us. They were very nice!
The students who didn’t have a family to stay with went to the hotel in a family’s car.
The second day, everybody went to the school; “King Edward Grammar School”. We had breakfast there and later we met our partners. We were with them in their class. When the lessons finished, we went to the shopping centre in Chelmsford. There were two shopping centres all together! Finally, we ate in an Italian restaurant and we went to sleep.
On the 7th of November, we went to London by train. When we arrived there, we walked and we got into the underground. When we got out of the underground, the first thing that we saw was The London Eye. It was very very big!
Then, we walked to Big Ben and took some photos there. After that, we went to Coven Garden Street and got into the “Market”. We ate there and finally, we went to Hide Park, a huge park.
When we arrived in Chelmsford, we went to the cinema. I saw “The Man who Stared the Goats”, and other guys saw “This is it”, Michael Jackson’s film.
On Sunday, we spent all day with our families and we were with the teachers in the village centre.
On Monday, we went to school. We stayed with our partners and we met more people.
On Tuesday we went to Cambridge. I liked it so much because the universities are immense! On that day, a Spanish guide was with us. She showed us all the important places in the city. We saw several colleges, universities and churches.
The next day we were at school for two hours and later we went to a close village to play tennis. It was fun because the man who was with us was very nice.
At four we went to a shopping centre in Chelmsford again.
On Thursday, we went back to London. That day we saw Buckingham Palace, but we didn’t see Queen Elisabeth!
Later, we went to Oxford Street and we spent a lot of time there.
On Friday, we went to school and we met the English Students. When we finished the lessons, we went to ice-skate.
On Saturday, we went to Colchester by train, an English guide was with us that day. We saw the village and a Roman theatre.
The day of the arrival in Spain: It was a sad day, because we loved England. We went to London Stanted Airport by bus and we got to the plane at a quarter to twelve.
The travel was fantastic and I will do another travel the same as this one, with all the people!
