Даша Трошина, 2019

This is my second time in England. Besides, before we were going to Guildford, my group and I spent 4 days in Edinburgh. I think that these made a sense because it was a chance to find out more about other city. Everyday was energetic and it helped us to feel the atmosphere of Scotland and to be engaged in daily routine of citizens. We explored loads of fascinating attractions. For example: Edinburgh Castle, Palace of Holyrood and St Giles’ Cathedral. However, the most impressive for me was Arthur’s Seat. I am sure that everyone have to ride on the top of the mountain and see their own eyes the beauty of this marvelous city, go through lushes during walking, capture brilliant moments on each level of the mountain and the most essential is feeling of freedom when you standing on the top. So, I am so glad that my parents allowed me to go else to the Scotland.
As for Guildford, I think that this is not less lively and calm town. Although it is not my first time here, I could find out something new for myself. If you are going to visit Guildford don’t even doubt. I am sure that you are going to fall in love with him. For example, you can wander through the streets where Lewis Carrol found inspiration to write his novel “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”. Also, you have a chance to enjoy your lunch in a wonderful garden in Guildford Castle.
As for school, EJO offers you an interesting program. It is a good practicing chance to develop your language skills. This year I had another course, so it impressed me a lot due to its opportunity to communicate more, to prepare for exam. Of course, I have to say that I am so lucky to have a brilliant teacher Stephen. Every lesson we made up so many developing exercises, played interesting games, I am sure that I will use them when I come to Moscow. What’s more, EJO offers you a lot of excursions. They not only help you to rest from lessons during the week but also extend your horizons. It is a lively capacity to find out more about the culture of the country. So, if you decide to attend this organization or not do it.
As for the hosts, I didn’t change them this year because they are fantastic. Diana and Charlie Alden are very kind, intelligent and caring people. I am so happy to spend these two weeks with them. Everyday I had tasty dishes, big and comfortable lunches. Also, sometimes we had a movie evening with sweets and popcorn. Besides, they always tried to communicate with us more. That is why it is also a good practicing chance to develop your language skill. Also, when you are living in families, this is an excellent chance to be involved in the daily routine of locals people.
To sum up, I would like to say that going abroad and study any language is a profitable opportunity for everyone. You will not only improve your abilities but also learn more about the country or city. For me, it is the most impressive and best experience that I ever had. I hope that this journey help me to develop my personality more.
Besides, I am very thankful to my group leaders Olga Vyacheslavovna and Antonina Sergeevna for their patience, kindness, intelligence and care. They are the best of the best. And, of course, during this period I met loads of amazing people. Thank you!
