The City today, visit and shopping in Birmingham.
En 12 minutos desde la estación de Hall Green, hemos llegado a la estación de Moor Street, una de las estaciones de tren que rodean el gran compejo comercial conocido como "Bull Ring". Todos hemos seguido a José Antonio hasta el ayuntamiento y la biblioteca municipal, aunque nuestro deseo era acabar la visita y volver a las tiendas para practicar "shopping". De nuevo la lluvia nos ha acompañado en algunos momentos, English weather ...
LONDON
On Saturday we went to London. We had to meet at Solihull Station at 8 o'clock and a coach drove us to London. We visited some of the most important sites of London like Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, the Tower of London, London Bridge, London Eye, and my favourite landmark: Picadilly Cyrcus, where the coach left us so we could have some free time. Some of us went to Camden town, Harrod's, the British Museum. I went to Abercrombie&Fitch store and I took a photo with a model who worked there. I bought a jumper there. The boutique was very expensive so we couldn't buy as many clothes as we wanted, but it's a big and nice shop. Then we walked along Regent and Oxford Street. I love these streets because there is a lot of people and they are very busy streets and i like that. I like the shops too, so I think that's why London is my favourite city in the world. We walked towards Hyde Park, to Speakers' Corner, where we had to meet all the other students. There was parked the coach to return to Solihull. We had a very exciting and wonderful day.

Weekend
The weekend was really exciting, I'm sure that I will remember it. Saturday we went to London by coach, and it was my first time that I was there. After the long trip we arrived to London and visited the most important things like the Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, Big Ben and The Houses of Parliament, London Eye... We saw a lot of interesting things and I took some photos. Later, some of us went to the British Museum and it wasn't too bad, but neither really enthusiastic. When we had lunch we went to buy some clothes and presents to our family and friends. When the day finished I was very tired, so when I came back to my house I went to sleep very quickly. After this long day, I slept very good to begin another unforgottable day. On Sunday, I went to Stratford horseraces with my family and it was very interesting. We had lunch there in a picnic and later we watched the football match between Spain and Holland, and I saw how Spain became the champion of the worldcup. Noemi Castiñeiro |

Trip to Stratford, Shakespeare's Birthplace
Hoy al acabar las clases hemos tomado el tren hasta Stratford upon Avon, localidad natal de William Shakespeare. Primero hemos ido a visitar la casa natal del dramaturgo y después a pasear por la ciudad, que siempre está llena de turistas. Todo tiene un encanto especial en Stratford, hay una bonita variedad de casas tipo Tudor, que parecen formar parte de un cuento.
My weekend!
On Saturday I went to London by bus. I stayed in London last year, but I didn't visit the British Museum, and I spent all the day shopping. This year I visited the British Museum. It's very big and has a lot of rooms and things. On Sunday I spent the morning playing football with my friends. In the afternoon I had a barbecue with my host family and other people that I didn't know, and I watched the match with them: the match was very exciting and when Spain scored I was very happy.

My weekend
On Saturday, we went to London. There, we visited the London Eye, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palance, Big Ben, Oxford Street and Hyde Park. Then, I went shopping in shops like Abercrombie and Fitch, the coolest shop in the world, and Gap. When I was in the street I met some Spanish friends. I went to have a coffe and finally I went to catch the bus. On Sunday, I went to Solihull centre with my friends, we ate there and then we went to a pub to watch the match. We were very excited and when Spain scored the goal I was very happy. Patricia Peregrin |
London
On my left, I had Buckingham Palace, the guards of the Queen were in front of a big door of the Palace of the Queen, and this last one was in her bedroom...Well, I didn't know where she was, but she wasn't in the terrace as in a lot of films. Ten minutes later we went to "Abercrombie&Fitch". A lot of people told me that it's the biggest shop in the world. A long queue separated me from the shop, but when I entered...It was so cool! I had never seen a shop like that! It wasn't a normal shop, it was like a disco! But a long queue to pay for my new T-shirt...another time, maybe. Marc Bosch |
LONDON
On Saturday I went to London. In London I visited a lot of landmarks like Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, Picadilly Circus, St.Paul's Cathedral, Hyde Parl, etc. But my favourite landmark that I saw yesterday is the Tower of London and London Bridge. When I had freem time, the first thing I did was to visit Abercrombie&Fitch store, where I bought a pair of T-shirts and i took a photo with a pretty girl who works in there. Then I walked along Regent Street and Oxford Street too. I really liked them because there were a lot of shops. Finally I arrived at Hyde Park, at Speakers' Corner where I had to meet with the other students and we took the coach to return to Solihull. I had a beautiful and exciting dady in the capital of England: London. Borja Tarre |

Diary
On Saturday, I went to London. First, I saw Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the Tower of London and then I went on the underground to Harrods, but I couldn't enter because I wore a school bag and the security guards didn't allow me to enter. So I went to Abercrombie instead but the queue was very large and I didn't have time. Then, I went to Hamleys shop. I liked it very much but it was very expensive and I didn't buy anything.
On Sunday, I woke up later and I went to a festival of cars with my father and his child. In the afternoon, I went with my mother to do the shopping in a supermarket. In the evening I went to a friend's house of my parents and we watched the match, Holland vs. Spain together. Spain won. Very good. I felt very proud.
