MY FIRST EUROPEAN COMMITTEE

All my classmates and I on Tuesday April 4th trip we went to end of year trip to Germany with the European Committee and now I tell, first what is European Committee and then th

e experience.

WHAT'S THE EUROPEAN COMMITTEE?

The European Committee is an exchange which participate a lot of countries like: Spain, France, Holland, Germany, etc…

But not only will a school by country there are more school by one country, for example from Spain there are three schools: Juan Comenius, Escuela 2 and La Gavina.

The European Committee each year is in a different country, this year was in Germany.

In the exchange you stay all the days in a house of a student from other country, the objective in the European Committee is learn more English, how act when you're alone in one house and you don’t understand the idiom, how to relate and make you that the people understand you.

WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THIS COMMITTEE?

We arrived at the house of our German girl or boy very late like 11:00 on the night, more or less, when I arrived I’m very tired but at the same time nervous because I don’t know the family, but the first I do was go to sleep and I think tomorrow will be another day.

When I wake up I have a breakfast and I go to the school and in the school welcomed us, and then we do workshops.

The others day at the morning we do workshop and in the afternoon we have free time an for example we go to the swimming-pool, had barbecues…

MY PERSONAL OPINION

My personal opinion about this exchange is regular because I enjoyed a lot but when I was outside the house, because I meet with my friends, go to the swimming pool etc… but when I was in the house was very boring because my German girl don’t pay me attention and only give me the computer 40 minutes more or less.About the food I’ve been very hungry because for lunch only give me two muffins or similar things and any day I have diner because they have diner at 6 o’clock and me I don’t have hungry and I don’t get used to the timetable.
