The days
before the trip to Cambridge in July we were a little nervous because this trip had
been a dream for us since we were teenagers. Cambridge
is one the oldest University towns in Europe. So the
buildings are quite old. But the population is very young and from around the world.
«The Portuguese
Group » was noisy but fantastic. We learned
about typical English life, we studied, we walked and had a lot of fun. We went to
a concert in a church and it was a surprise for us because in Portugal it is
not common to use the churches to give concerts and to have tea and coffee, and
eat cakes.
Our biggest
fear was the food, but it was another good surprise. English food is
really delicious .We ate «Fish and chips », a typical English dish and we loved
it.
We also went to Jamie Oliver's
Italian restaurant in Cambrigde. Delicious food.

We also liked Nando's, a Portuguese restaurant. We enjoyed
both places and we also recommend the food.

This trip was very different from others that we had gone on because it combined English classes with sightseeing and short trips. It was unforgettable. For one week in July English classes were in the morning from 9 a.m.to 12h30 and the rest of the day was to visit Cambridge.
We also visited Norwich, Bury Saint Edmund’s, and London.
The week was fantastic and all the group felt that time had passed very quickly. It was always a party.
It was excellent to learn English, to see different
places, to live together, to laugh, to relax.
The weather
wasn't nice, it was cold and humid, but we enjoyed ourselves. Our Hotel
«Crown Plaza » was very good and very nice. Everything was beautiful. We stayed
for one week.

are always ready to go. (by Margarida, A2 level, Adult group.)
