Periodically this year we will bring you the account of a pupil from our school who has returned from a year spent living abroad. The first one is from Leticia (3º ESO), but watch this space for several more in the future!
Last year I went to England to study a full academic year. I went to a town an hour away from London called Marlow.
This place was a modern town with a really high level, as a two-bedroom flat could cost a million pounds. The town was well cared for as in the streets there wasn't any rubbish and in the parks there was always someone clearing the rubbish or leaves that fell from the trees. As for the shops, they were alright for a town of this size. In the high street there were food, stationery and clothes shops and also a few cafés.
The flat that I lived in with my Dad, as he works there, was big enough for two. It's a small apartment with two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen and a living room.
I went to a public school in the town, ten minutes from where I lived. The school was enormous. They had it organised into blocks, which we would move between according to the subject. For lunch we had a canteen, where you could buy food or bring your own lunch to eat. At break when the weather was good we went to a huge field where people played or sat and talked. School started at 9 o'clock and finished at 3 o'clock, which was perfect for after-school activities and then to do your homework.
I had an amazing time there with my father, who I was lucky to have there if I needed something. Even though I had my father, I missed the rest of my family, which was the worst aspect of the year. In conclusion, I had lots of fun and it's an experience I will never forget.
