My summer in Oxford

Hi, Good morning students and teacher, well I think everybody meet me, I’m Mercè Bolasell

Now I went to explain my summer in Oxford, I went there with a friend Rebecca I can say that it was fantastic!! Because 3 weeks without parents and with friends it’s a perfect think in the world =D.
But I went there for improve my English, and also for learn more new languages, because there I met friends of different countries. I think there we were different people of 30 countries as for example Japan, China, Citrus, Russia, Germany…and more.

I went to a summer school, but there in the other seasons is a school. The name of the place it’s Saint Edward School, it’s a typical English school, old and beautiful, that you can see in the films, with a big garden in the middle, the principal area, a big dinning room, a little church, a big park, and the residences it’s the place went I’d my room, the boys and girls are separate whit houses, or residence, that it’s the same, my residence it’s call McNamara’s house, there we had a lot of thinks, how a kitchen with cookies, coffee, tea, a internet area, the bed rooms, the room, and the toilets and the shower room.
In the room I stayed whit a Japanese girl and a French girl, the both are very nice, pleasant, and friendly.

Now how I can explain the dinning room I need to explain the food!! I said the food in England is terrible! The only things I can eat are a fast food: McDonald’s, Burger king, I know that is bad for me, but the food in the school are so bad, and there we eat every day pasta or pizza, the best food there. And also in our free time we went to a supermarket to buy some chocolate and good food like sandwich.

This course it’s same a school, because I did classes 5 days a week, but I had free days on Wednesday, Thursday half a Tuesday, for me the week started on Fridays. The classes were very exiting, because We didn’t do typical class whit a book if not we learned things whit games, speaking, thinks of the reality, and mixed whit this we learn something new, I think you learn more whit this funny elements. And in the afternoon we did another different class, but every week we changed. These classes are like drama, make adverts, does music… there you learn thinks you maybe can use in the real live.
I and my other Spanish friend did an International Sports Academy, there we played basketball in a pavilion, and we did every day accept our free days 3 hours of basketball! It’s mortal! But if I can say the truth, there we were more people of Oxford than the other countries.

In our free days we went to excursions, we went 2 days in London normally 3 hours visited monuments, like the eye tower and National Gallery and 5 hours shopping, we went also to Bath, and to Brighton this is the capital of the “gays in Britain” it’s true, in the street were a lot of flags of gays and lesbian, I don’t understand why we went there, because it’s a boring place. And the half days we went to shopping in Oxford.

And for finish I explain my “last day in Oxford”, first in the night (at 8 o’clock) I cried and I was sad, because the people that I shared 3 fantastic weeks, I’m sure I don’t see more… this is the worse thing about this summer. And another thing it’s a secret…because how the teachers only left us 1 hour for stay together, in the night at 1 o’clock when everybody were sleeping, a fifty boys and girls escaped in the park in front of the school, and we stay 3 hours more together. How everybody stayed in different house, everybody escaped with different ways, for example I and 6 girls more, we went out of a window on the first flat, and after we climbed a wall of 2’5 meters, it was difficult but it was worthwhile.

Well this is a little summary of my 3 weeks in Oxford… I wait that you like. And if you want a question, this is the moment …
