First week overview

Today we woke up late because it was a day off. Our alarms were set around 10 o’ clock. We started with a healthy breakfast and a little talk with our host family. Afterwards, we looked around what we could do today. We found some exciting stuff but luckily our host family gave us some information, that today the city will be full because of the holiday. So we just went to the supermarket to buy some food.
For the first week, I have to say, that it was a great experience to learn English with a native speaker. I think that the learning method which the teacher used was great. Also, the classmates were very friendly and the experience of learning English with guys from other countries was great, we had Russian, French and German classmates.
Now I am looking forward for the next week when we will start our internship…

Thanks Google…

Today, as usual, we started our way to the Twin-Group school. There, we started the lesson with a great topic. We got a story about a murder and we had to do a role play to a criminal court. I got the part as the main witness from the murder and I had the task to lie. In conclusion it was very funny even though the end of the story was lame. My lie was convincing but still not enough to prove that the indicted was guilty, so the indicted was able to convince the court that it was just an accident.

Fish and Chips

Today we started our day with a tasty breakfast. Afterwards we went directly to the school. We don’t have much time in the morning because we want to enjoy every minute in our beds.

As we arrived at school we started directly with our lessons. 

Today the topic was about hackers, which isn’t a big deal for IT Students. Our second topic for today, was about typical english or british phrases like: “Today it’s raining cats and dogs”. We learned some useful phrases and how people came up with them.

First real school lessons

Today we started the day with a delicious breakfast. Afterwards we went directly out to the bus station and we got very fast into the bus.

All normal so far. When we were 1km near our school the cars stopped and 

we stuck into a big traffic jam. First we waited a bit but then we saw nothing moving anymore, so we left the bus and went by foot to school. Luckily we still arrived in time (close, but still in time).

How good is your English?

Today we went at 9 o‘clock to our Agency which is in the same time a school. We started immediately with an English test. During the test they also did questions to test our speaking skills.

After all students were finished we got a little break. At this time they checked our tests, and they were able to sort us in two school classes.

After all this we played a game called Articulate, sounds really easy but it isn’t. First of all the playing cards were full of very typical British words which are very hard for us. Also doing all this in a different language than German is somehow hard in my opinion.

Explore London…

Today we woke up a bit late because we were still a bit tired from the flight. After a good breakfast we were powered up for the day. I decided to go out and explore London. Luckily I just have to walk around 600 meters and then I can take a bus which can bring me directly to the London eye. I mean, I needed around 1 hour and 20 minutes for the trip but it was worth it. I arrived at the London eye and I instantly saw so many amazing sights.
