Cambridge

The language stay in Cambridge was very interesting and we had a lot of fun.
We went to the famous sights, to the different Colleges, to the museums, to the parks and a lot more. Some of us played the first time golf, went the first time punting and had the new experience to live at a host family. But everybody was confident.
Also we went in London to the Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Madam Tussauds, Piccadilly Circus and the famous oxford street. And once we went to the musical "We will rock you". It was great.
All in one is Cambridge a very nice town to study and learning english. You can meet other students and go out with them. Maybe you can make some friends.
This 2 weeks were fantastic. The most important thing was that everybody had a lot of fun.
We enjoyed our stay, and maybe some of us would go again to such a nice language stay.

LSI - Language Studies International

Our school was the LSI. It is a very cool school and the people are very friendly. The most students there are from Asian and Spain. The school begins at 9 and finishes at 12.50. The teachers are funny and they can explain well. The lessons were funny and all the students were friendly. At the first day we had to make a test , so they could see in which level we should stay. Lirie and Manuela were together in a class and Nadine , Nadja and me were together in a other class. But Nadja swapped the class after some days. We learned a lot from the teachers and we can say that the school was good and the students friendly. At the end we got a certificate and we were happy.

Shopping in England

In the first week we had only time for shopping after school or when we finished our program. On Friday we had our free afternoon, we could go to the shopping centre near London with Matt. It is a very big shopping mall with many shops.

On Sunday when we went to London we could go shopping at the Camden Market. It was very fantastic because you can buy everything. The most of us bought a lot of things.
On Tuesday was our second chance to shop. We walked through the Oxford Street. It was great :)

On Thursday was our last chance to go shopping in Cambridge. All of us want to buy as much as they can for their money. This time in Cambridge was very great to go shopping.

On Wednesday morning we had to go to school like every morning. At school we only talk english! When school was finished we went to the city centre. At 14:30 we met at King's college. There we decided if we want to go to Granchester or playing golf.

Golf: In the golf-group we had a lot of fun. We went to the golf field where Matt showed us how to play golf. After training we tried to play but not every ball reached the aim.
Tea Garden: At Tea Garden in Granchester we drank something, ate a cake and relaxed. It was sunny weather on that day.

In the evening some of us were in a pub and some were at the party in their school. In the pub we watched the football match Manchester United vs. FC Porto.
