Cristina is a Portuguese student. She decided to improve her English during the summer holiday. So she took a two weeks’ summer course (课程) in the Embassy School, Oxford. Now let’s read about her experience.
It was a wonderful experience. The school was on one of the city’s most famous streets. The teachers were very nice and the classrooms were modern.
The Embassy School wasn’t a boarding school (寄宿学校), so I stayed with an English family during those two weeks. It was an excellent opportunity to practice my English. They couldn’t speak Portuguese, so I tried my best to communicate with them in English. They lived in a beautiful house. I loved staying with them because they were very friendly. Every morning, I took the bus to school.
Classes started at 9 a.m. and finished at 4 p.m. We had three classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon. I learned a lot and met classmates from all over the world. We also visited the most famous places of the country.
It was the best summer holiday I’ve ever had. My English got much better and I made a lot of new friends.
