Diary with silent letters
Last weekend was good. We went to Alton Towers. First, we went to a frightening castle but it wasn't a very good attraction. Then, we were in a queue for a roller coaster when it started raining. While we were waiting, a friend hurt her knee. To be honest, the first hour wasn't really good, but then we went to a very exciting attraction, which was risky. I was having such a funny day that I didn't have time to eat a biscuit. On Sunday, I went to the house of my parents' friends. I felt a bit embarrased. I hate being a guest in new houses, but the man of the family was very handsome. In the evening, I came back home and I watched te TV with Jamie, who is 4 years old and he's the son of my host family. Anna Casablanca |
Diaries with silent letters
I enjoyed very much my weekend. On Saturday I woke up early to go to Alton Towers and it was great. I only could go on the roller coaster twice but I liked it very much. When I arrived home, we watched a film and then I went to bed very late. On Sunday, my host family and I woke up at ten o'clock, and the breakfast was great. I ate eggs with toast and bacon with mushrooms. It was very good! Then we went ot visit the grandparents. In the afternoon we went to Blenheim Palace and I enjoyed it very much. It was very big and we rode on a little train. It was great. I want to stay in England forever. M.Carmen Ferre |
Sunday with the family
I think all of my classmates are going to write about Saturday so, with the intention of not making the correction boring, I will not write about roller coasters and theme parks. Anyway, I'll tell you how my Sunday was. As Mrs. Taylor had to work, I spent the day with her son John and his girlfriend Abby. We went to Star City, in the suburbs of Birmingham, where we played minigolf, an eighteen hole competition. Unfortunately for me, I was beaten bt John, but it was my first time; actually, my score was good enough. Later we went bowling and, since I had played before, I was on fire, and the match was more fair than the minigolf one. Nevertheless John is also a good player and beat me. In the afternoon wasn't as interesting as the morning but it was difficult. It was an almost perfect Sunday with the English family. David Hurtado |
last weekend
On Saturday, we went to Alton Towers, a brilliant theme park, where you can have a good time with your friends. We decided to go to the roller coaster, the fastest rides. Then on Sunday, well, Sunday...I love that day. In the morning I stayed at home with all the family. It was very funny and I learnt a lot because I was speaking with the daughter, who is a very nice person. Then I met with my friend Sofia to go to the Solihull park, which is very beautiful, and we took a lot of photos. Finally, at 6:30pm I had to return home. Marina Casas Conde |
Alton Towers
On Saturday we went to Alton Towers. At 8:00 o'clock, we had to be at Solihull Station, so Judith, a friend of the mother of my host family, took me and another two people from "Padre Manyanet" to the station. There we caught the coach to Alton Towers. When we got there, we met some other students from Lemmington, and all went together to ride on the atractions. The first atraction we rode was "Thirteen", a new one this year. Later we went to have lunch in a Burger King. Later we went to "Air", to the "Sonic Spin Ball" and another one, but I can't remember the name. After that, we went to the meeting point, we said goodbye to the students of Lemmington, and we went to Solihull Station, where all the families were waiting for us to go to our host house.
