41. WEDNESDAY 13TH
We woke up at half past seven more or less and we had
breakfast at eight o'clock in the hotel.
At half past eight we said goodbye to the German students.
Then, we took a bus to Dublin, and when we got there, we said
goodbye to the Swedish students and teachers.
42. There we went shopping until one o'clock. Then, we took a
bus to the hotel, we took our luggage and we went to the
airport with the Italian students, at two o'clock.
At three o'clock we had lunch with the Italians and said
goodbye to them at four o'clock.
At five fifty(Irish time) we took the plane and arrived at
nine o'clock(Catalan time) at Barcelona Airport. Then we
said goodbye and everyone went home.
51. • The hotel was excellent
• When we arrived at the school, all the Irish students wanted a
picture of Spanish and Italian boys.
• All the students have to wear a uniform at school.
• There was always warm water in the toilets
• You have to be careful in the streets because the cars and
buses drive on the left.
• The traffic lights gave a short time to cross the road.
• The weather is changing constantly, it’s difficult to choose the
clothes every morning.
• If the weather is bad, they aren’t wearing many clothes to
get warm.
52. • We noticed that there are few differences between
the students depending on the country from where
they are. For example, the Italians and the Catalans,
were very open but they had a lower English level and
they were imaginative and creative. On the other
hand, the Irish, the German and the Swedish, were a bit
more shy, they had very good English level and were
more respectful. In fact, everyone was very kind and
respectful with everyone else. All in all, everyone did a
great job!
• We are very happy with this experience, because
everyone was very kind, funny, welcoming, hospitable,
and amazing. The Irish teacher and the students
worked very hard for us, for which we are very grateful
to them.
• The hotel room was awesome and the hotel staff was
very kind.
