My trip to Wales

Our class went to Llangollen in Wales to take part in an international competition called World Youth Skills Challenge. We were in Wales for a week and met a lot of people from different countries.

I brought back some things from Wales that still bring back happy memories from this wonderful experience. One of them is a little cuddly toy. It is a red dragon. The dragon is on the welsh flag and it is a symbol of the country. When I met my host friend for the first time she gave me it as a welcome present. It still evokes me happy memories when I see it.

I’m still in contact with Bethan, my host friend. She came to my house last year with another girl from Wales called Molly. We had fun together, we went to Seville and I showed them the main monuments. We did many activities as bowling, going to the swimming pool, shopping… I will never forget those seven days.

Another object I took from Wales is a medal. The medal has the colors of the flag of Wales. And I received it as a prize when we won the theatre competition performing the house of Bernarda Alba (In English), The school gave all the people in the play the gold medal.

I will never forget this trip because I’ve met a lot of people from different countries and I’ve learnt different ways of life also I spent a fantastic time there!

Cheating

In the bilingual group there are many experts cheaters, they have been getting better with the years and they know a lot of tecniques to cheat without getting caught.

 

I can tell tons of anecdotes. Some of them are funny, another ones are full of nerves. I know about people who has used curious objects to copy. For example, headphones. They record they answer and they listen to it while they are doing the exam. Another curious one is that someone from another group sends them the answer by mobile phone. 

 

In my opinion cheating is a bad thing because in the end you are just lying to yourself. If you always cheat you will never learn.

Classmates and friends

When I started in the bilingual group I knew many people from my primary school. The most part of them were just classmates but many of them have become friends. That has happened with two of my best friends: Ana and Elena. 

I met Elena just the summer before start highschool. We became friends really fast because we have a lot of things in common. She is a lovely girl, you can trust her because she listen to your problems and help you always she can.

I met Ana in primary school, we got well from the very begining but it was in high school where we became best friends. I can speak with her hours and hours on the phone and we always have fun together.

I'm really happy to have those girls in my life because both of them are really nice.
