My friend
Vera (16) and I (15) decided in November 2013 that we want to spend our
June-Holidays in England to do a language course to improve our English and get
to know new people. We searched for a organisation to go with and my friend
recommended “Sprachcaffe”. We clicked on the website and were totally
interested in their offers. There were a lot of cities offered, for example:
Eastbourne, Brighton, London, Devon and Weymouth. I knew Brighton before
because of YouTube-Videos and I already fell in love with the city. I could
persuade Vera to go to Brighton and we booked the “Standard Course” with 4
lessons a day. We were really looking forward to that holiday and set a
countdown for it. At the start it were more than 150 days left and suddenly it
was only 1 day left. Time flew!
Day 1 - June
8th
I got up at
5 am and I was super excited. The day I was waiting for almost a year finally
arrived. At 7 am Vera and her parents
came over to mine and it was time to say “good bye” to my parents. After that
we drove to the airport in Munich, Vera and I picked up our tickets and did all
the check-in, security-check and stuff. Our flight started at 10.35 am and we
landed at 11.40 am in London. The flight was very relaxed but I was a bit tired
afterwards. Anna, a teamer from Sprachcaffe, picked us and two other girls from
Germany up and a driver drove us from London Heathrow to the West Beach Hotel
in Brighton where a taxi drove Vera and me to our host family. I girl opened
the door and I guess the was the older daughter. She showed us our room and
said that her mum is still in London and will come back in “a few hours”. These
“few hours” turned into 5 hours where we sat alone in the room. It was very
boring , we had no wifi and I already read the half of my book. Finally our
guestmother came home and explained everything to us. She told us about the
bus, the address of the school and so on. We had dinner and around 9 pm 2 other
girls arrived. One (Sara) from Italy and the other one (Anastasiya) was from Germany too. After
talking to them we went to bed. Personally I didn’t like my first day in
Brighton because I didn’t like the house we were staying in at first. But in
the end of the day it was ok and I was looking forward to the next day.

Day 2 –
June 9th
Our guestfather
brought Anastasiya, Vera and me to the bus station and after 5 minutes of
waiting or bus came. The ride was longer than we thought and we were already
late. There was so much traffic and instead of 8.30 am we arrived at the school
at 9 am. The woman at the reception organized us in the highest class. Our
teacher was called Ivan and he was very handsome. In the lesson everyone said
their name, where they’re from,…. . After the lessons all pupils from all
classes met in a park called ‘Palmeira Square’. The teamers (Anna, Gioacchino,
Samuel) explained some things and said that we meet at 2 pm at the school for a
‘Orientation-Tour’. Until that we had free time. Vera and I went with Zak,
Marta, Nastya and Diana to the supermarket and to the beach. The tour
was exhausting and a bit unorganized. After the tour we went home and relaxed and had dinner. At 8 pm we
had to meet at the school again for the ‘Welcome-Party’. Vera and I found out
that 2 girls (Franzi, Karin) and 2 boys (Marc, Konstantin) were from the same
city as we. The evening was ok but not entertaining. At 9.30 pm we were allowed
to go and we almost fell asleep in the bus because we were so tired.
