Holidays

This Saturday we went to the gallery of the Modern art. I didn't like the pictures very much and it was a little bit boring for me. Then we went shopping to the Oxford street. I bought everything that I want, so I'm glad about this trip.
Sunday was a really nice day. The weather was good and we had a sport day. Our team didn't win, but we have a lot of fun doing different competitions. Then we have a small feast in the dining hall with biscuits and sweets. When we returned back to our houses we discovered that there was a flude in our girl's bathroom, so we had to go to Harley to have a shower. But we weren't really upset about this, because we had a party in one room with a lot of Russian food. It was really tasty!!!

Science museum and British museum.

Yesterday we went to the Science museum and to the British museum. They were both really boring. but British museum had a nice cafe and Science museum was more interactive and there was also a funny store, where we found a lot of interesting things. I didn't enjoy this trip very much. The weather was very bad, it rained heavily, so we got wet and maybe some of the students got cold today.

The changes in Queenswood.

My third week in Queenswood starts and I think Queenswood changed a lot comparing with the first week. Food became better and activities more various. But a lot of my friends left Queenswood, because they were staying only for 2 weeks and I'm really sorry about this . So it's more boring at Queenswood now that it was last weeks, because I have less friends at the moment. Also some cruel things happened in Queenswood! One Spanish girl was sent home... Two teachers didn't work any more in Queenswood... And students were also punished, by taken away there free time, because of the crazy Friday night. But now everything is all right again.
I moved to Advance level and I like it very much. The teachers are really nice and lessons are very interesting. I noticed how I improve my English every day and I learnt a lot of new and useful information.

Blogs.Are they important?

Blog- is a computer diary, where you can write about your daily life and share your feelings. Sometimes people are so full of feelings and they have so many interesting events in their life, so they have to share these with somebody. And they start to write a blog. Or people can be very upset or worried of something and they also want to share their problems with other people, because they can give them a valuable advice. I think these are the reasons, why people start to make a blog.
It's very useful to make an English blog. It of course helps you to learn English better. When you write blog you can see all your text, improve your writing and grammar, because when you speak, you sometimes don't notice your mistakes. When you make blog in English almostly every person can read it all around the world, so it's like an international blog, and you will have more comments on your blog and more people will read it.

My last day in Queenswood

Hi everyone! Today is my last day here and I'm really sad about going home =( I'll miss Queenswood, my teachers, friends. But we'll stay in touch with them...I hope...
I've learnt a lot during these 2 weeks. Not only during the lessons but also communicating with other students.
I'm really happy that I've met so many interesting people here!

After 2 weeks in Queenswood.........

I was in Queenswood for two weeks and they were really unusual and interesting. I am not going to leave tomorrow. I'm going to stay for 2 more weeks.
I have learnt a lot during these 2 weeks. Lessons were useful for different parts of English language. For writing, listening, speaking, reading and grammar.
I like excursions very much. We had 4 excursions: to Madame Tussaud's museum, to Cambridge, to Thorpe park ant to tha centre of London. I took many photos and visited new places, so I'm really happy about the trips.
I don't like the activities very much. They were boring for me. I enjoy only computering and Entertainment evening, where all classes were performaning. It was really funny and interesting. And I took part in this, too. I was dancing...
I made a lot of friends during these two weeks. I'm sorry that some of them are leaving tomorrow. Butv we wll write to each other by mail and ICQ. I hope...

Madame Tussaud's

The excursion to the museum was really great! I enjoyed it a lot! I've made more than 40 photos there! Johny Depp, Morgan Freeman, Tiger Woods, J.Lo, prince William and David Beckham.....=) So it's not a great wonder that my friend Dasha and me were late for an hour! We were afraid that everybody gonna kill us!!! But it was OK.=) Looking forwards for a Cambridge excursion!

Mme Tussauds

yesterday we went to the Mme Tussuad's museum. we saw the celebrities and took pictures with them. Some brave =) people went to the chamber of horrors. we ate lunch and then we went to a very calm park near the museum. We sit there about 2 hours and then we walked to the bus station. we arrived to school at 4.00 . we played tennis and then about 6 .00 we ate our dinner. At the evening, we didn't do activities because there was a competition in the old swimming pool. They asked us some questions. there were 7 rounds. I couldn't be able to learn the results because there was a huge crowd front of the board. But it was really fun..!

Madame Tussauds museum

Yesterday I went to madame Tussuad's museum. It was really interesting. I took many photos. Most of all I like the sale with politicians, where I took photos of Vladimir Putin, George Bush and Hitler. I didn't enjoy the chamber of horrors, because I think that people that frightened us didn't look like real vampires or beasts. But on the whole I enjoy the museum very much and our staying in the park after this,too.

Workshops and bowling

Hi It's Melda. Yesterday the workshops have started. I chose the exam preparation. In my workshop we get prepared for the exams like FCE,TOEFL,etc...We made some exercises about the mistakes that we do everyday while we speak in English. We tried to find out the synonyms of some words and our teacher gave us some clues about the exams.

After the dinner, some people went to bowling, some went to the cinema and the others stayed at the school. I went to bowling. It took 30 min. to go there. We went there about 19.00 and returned about 22.30. It was nice and we had a lot of fun. In the bowling area there was burger king, pizza hut and Mc Donald's. Most of the people ate some ice-cream there, while waiting the people who went to the cinema. We met in front of the bowling area and then we returned to school. It was a very cold day so we went back to our rooms quickly.
