Beatrice's Diary

The trip to England was wonderful! When the teacher told us about this project, I already saw me into the London and Hastings’ shops! At the beginning all my class wanted to go on this trip, but later only seven people took part in it. We left on 1st February and we came back on 8th February. I had a good time there and I met many new friends because other classes of my school took part in this trip. Hastings is a nice city but we didn’t visit it very much. My friend Claudia and me ate and slept with a family who hosted us. Please don’t speak about the house! It was disgusting! The dirtiness was everywhere! And the food…oh my God! I often didn’t breathe so I didn’t smell every bad taste!
The family was composed of: father, mother, two girls and two boys. We only spoke with the mother, but we often didn’t understand very well what she said.
In the morning we met at school (AEC) and we had lessons (only English). In the afternoon, after lunch, we went on excursions and we visited castles, caves, museums, etc. After we went shopping and, at 6 o’clock, we came back home for dinner.
In the evening we sometimes went out together; one evening we went to a pub with the teachers and another evening we went to a beautiful games-hall…I believed I was in a casino!  (the teachers didn’t know it, but I think they imagined it!) 
Another evening (maybe the last one) we went to an Italian restaurant…finally some good food!!!
On Saturday morning we left to London! It’s a wonderful city with many shops and…taxis! I love travelling by taxi! It seems to be in a film! My friends and me went to Harrods…beautiful! I wanted to buy everything!
I understand that speaking English is easy, but understanding it is more difficult because the people speak very fast! But it was a wonderful experience and I hope to repeat it!
