Welcome readers
after holiday’s break!
As you noticed, this
break had passed very fast and now we have to come back to school and
start our deep learning again. Maybe you would like to share with us
your own adventures connected with summertime. Email address you can
find below. But first… (no no.. not let we take a selfie) let us
write something about our vacation.

Do you know where we
spend our holidays? No, not Egypt..not Croatia…not Turkey… We
choosed splendid United Kingdom. Why? Because we wanted to improve
our language skills and find out something interesting about history,
culture and daily life of this country. We found very attractive
offer on one of the Internet’s web sides and we decided to take it.
As we told you before, we thought about spending our holidays in both
useful and funny way. We went to language course in London which
provided us 4 lessons per day and some “trips”. Our journey
started in the second week of August. First week we spent in a small
town called Ilkeston which is located near Derby and Nottingham.
These 7 days weren’t included in our course so we spent this time
on our own, mainly on shopping.:) And next week we went to London and
it tourned out to be the week of disappointment…

First of all, we
choosed accommodation in a host family which had to provide us a
room, bathroom and day’s meals. These people were very friendly,
kind, pleasant… but they were a lot tight-fisted… We mean that
all the time we were very hungry and thirsty because we only get
cornflakes on breakfast and one sandwich for all day. What about
dinner? Pizza from freezer was very delicious…;/ Because of it we
had to visit all McDonalds in the surrounding area so don’t be
shocked that we put some weight.
The next point is
that our “trips” weren’t real trips like it was written in the
offer. In our opinion sightseeing should be organize with a guide or
a person who is able to tell us something about visited place. Trips
from this office looked like this that teamers took us by the
underground to choosed place, told us how much time we have and let
us on our own. Because of it we didn’t found out any historical
facts and we didn’t have an opportunity to expand our knowledge.


To not complain any
more right now we are going to tell you some positive aspects of our
journey. The best things during our holiday were English lessons
which were leaded by native speakers. It’s worth to mention that
our contact with British people helped us to improve our accent and
pronunciation of many words. Now we know on what we should pay our
attention and how much time we must spend on further learning. In
our opinion this part of our trip (English lessons) was the most
important because it was the main reason of the course
At first we were a
little fed up because of negative aspects but we must admit that we
met there a lot of kind people from all around the world with who we
hope having further contact. After this journey our dictionaries of
words are much bigger. We have lovely memories which will stay with
us all life long.
All the best !
