WALES, THE BEST TRIP

Trips have influenced a lot the relationships in our bilingual class. We have done a trip to Wales and an exchange in Cambridge. Our friendship has grown up in both of them. I specially enjoyed the World Youth Skills Challenge in Wales.

Everything started one day in class. Miss Celis came in to inform about a new project (WYSC) which consisted on taking part in different activities and competitions at Dynas Bran School in Wales. She gave us lots of details about the place we were going to, the activities we would do there, people we would meet and things we had to prepare for the trip. We were studying second year ESO and that would be our first trip together. We were all very excited.

We attended to many meetings during the school year to prepare it and at the end of it we had  already fixed all the dates and prizes about the trip.

Time passes and the school year was over. One month later al the class went to the airport, we had to fly first to Liverpool, and then take a bus to Wales. We arrived at the school, a big and very good school in which our partners were waiting there. We were dividided in groups to go to different houses, and i was with Gonzalo, Rocío and Sergio. I knew that we would have an awesome time.
So that we arrieved at our partner's house, he was called Josh, and he had three more brothers and his parents. We were ten people at the house! And also the dog...

During the week we had to go to the school to do different activities, like basketball, tennis or some performances. Those activities were very fun and interesting, because we played it with people frome other coutrie, because they also were participating in the exchange, and with our partners and friends. Those events were the best things we did there, we enjoyed it a lot.
We met lot of new people, friends and neighbours of our partners and some many people of others countries at the school.

At the end of the week, the school organized a big party for closing up the succesful exchange, that was called "Worl Youth Skills Challenge", and all the people participating on it dinner there and were dancing and celebrating.

But the exchange had a second hand, the bad part of the story, in which all of us started crying the day before going out of Wales, and specially when we were sat in the bus, seeing out the people. We knew that we were not going to see them anymore.

The return trip was completely different from the first one. All of us were absolutely quiet and seriously, crying and pensatives. We only wanted to say the choffer to turn back to the school, just to be there one more time, but it couldn't be possible, we had to be at the airport in a few hours and fly to Seville. Our best experience at the moment in our lifes was finished, but it was worth.

I think that this trip has influenced a lot our relationship, and i specially enjoyed it. I don't mind on going another time there, just to see those beautiful parks and football fields...
