Learning English in Chingford

England

by

Hi! I’m Carmen, I’m 16 years old and I’m from Spain. I stayed in Chingford, nerar London, for two weeks.

The family, Ken and Judie, were so fascinating and interesting. They have two lovely cats, Joe and Sammy, which were so cute!

While I was there I went to London many times, to visit Westminster Abbey, Kensington Palace, Buckinham Palace, I also went to Big Ben, the London Eye and I visited the Making of Harry Potter, which was so interesting and exciting. Also, I went to visit a Judie’s friend and some neighbours to talk with them and also to see how are the differents accents, that was so amasing and I enjoyed a lot doing that.

The lessons were interesting and I’ve learned a lot of idioms, new vocabulary and the most important thing is that I improved my English.

I also had a french co-student, Lise, who is so friendly and Im going to keep in touch with her because it’s something that I can do to improve my English.

It was a nice expirience. I enjoyed a lot and I had a lot of fun!!

 

Two weeks near London

by

Hi! My name is Lise and I am a 16-years-old French student. I stayed in Chingford near London during two weeks at Judie´s and Ken’s house with their two cute cats. They are very friendly, interesting and they really enjoy talking with the students and make you feel at home.

We went to London 3 times. We went on the London eye, visited Kensington Palace and Westminster abbey, saw Trafalgar square and Buckingham Palace. We also met the neighbours which permitted me to talk to new people and dicover new accents, had dinner in an Indian restaurant, did sport, did shopping in a really big shopping centre, and finally went to the making of Harry Potter which was just AMAZING !

I improved my English, learnt more vocabulary and lots of idioms which are often used in English. Lessons were interesting, we practiced a lot and did role plays.

I’ll keep in touch with my costudent, Carmen who is so nice and also with Judie.

I really enjoyed my stay and spent a good time in England, thank you !
