CONCURSO DE REDACCIONES EN INGLÉS

What would you like to do if you went abroad for learning English?

If I travelled to a country to learn a foreign language I would like to have fun while I learn the language.
Also, I would like to do many activities like meeting new people, visiting important sites of this city and knowing the culture and customs. For example, if I travelled to London I'd like to visit Big Ben, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey and the British Museum, along with other landmarks of the city. Of course all this would come into the activities I have to do.

The truth is that if you visit a country to learn the language, the first days are a little sad because I would be away from my family and people who want me but I think I would adapt quickly because undoubtedly learning another language is something I would love.
Honestly, if I went to another country I would like to meet people from that country not only to learn the language but to feel better and have someone to trust. I would love to integrate well and help me to adapt because it would not be easy. I would go camping outdoors, practise sport activities such as football, volleyball, rugby, surfing etc, and other group activities to meet people. I would also make typical Spanish food such as tortilla and learn about their typical meals.

But what I would like is not only to learn the language but knowing people who I truly can trust and be friends that I can visit and they can visit me for a journey to learn a language I think it is wonderful because you get to discover things you would never believe. I think that learning a language is fabulous and it is a unique experience.

I would love to learn another language and about another country.

IT IS MY BIG ILLUSION

Mª Victoria del Rey, 2º Bachillerato


If I went abroad for learning English, I would like to live my own life. I think that going abroad is the best form to learn a new language because you can only relate with the population by speaking their language, for that, you must learn their language. There is not another possibility.

Learning languages is the best thing we can do and the most useful thing, of course.
For travelling, to know a language is an advantage because you can travel without any problems to communicate with other people.

Abroad, I would like to rent a house inside of a University or a centre where there would be people; I would not like to be alone in a house. I also would like to travel with a friend, a sibling or someone who I know, so she or he would also want to learn a new language. I would not like to be for abroad many years, it is a very long time, I would prefer to stay abroad for ten months or a year.

After I had done the first travel, if I wanted it, I would like to repeat, to travel to other countries and to learn very different languages.

If I went abroad for learning English I would like to travel to London because I went two years ago and I like London very much. I would like to study three hours in the morning and next in the afternoon play football, basketball or another sport with my friends. I would like to study English for learning and talking better but not all the time, because this would be boring, we would study but we would play, too. And at night we would meet with other people in the camp. I would like to stay only one week, because more time can be boring and the monitors would organize excursions and the travel can be more entertaining.


Javier Pérez Marín, 1º Bachillerato



If I went abroad for learning English I would like to go to a camp with foreign students, they don’t have the same language than I and therefore the single way of communication would be talking English. In this camp I would like that there were log cabin where a group of girls or boys sleep and therefore we could talk and we could establish friendship. I would like that the monitors were English and each of them was responsible for a group of boys and girls. With them, we could do many activities: games, English classes, sports, parties, hiking… I would like that this camp was done in summer and that it lasted one month. Besides I would want that the camp was very well equipped with material, installations…
Another thing that I would like to do is to travel to the house of another girl of my age, with her previously I would speak and meet. I would like that this travel was to United Kingdom. This trip would also be done in summer.
I would do this travel in summer. I would do many activities with her (go to the swimming pool, meet her friends…); I would do everything with her. In this way I would improve my English very much.

Inmaculada Ros, 3º B ESO



If I went abroad for learning English, I would like to mix with foreigners for learning their language, their habits, their culture… I would like to know what type of food they like. Especially, I would like to learn the language so I can communicate with them. I have always been good at languages. And I like travelling, too but especially outside Spain. I like travelling outside Spain, knowing the world and other people that do not speak my language I have always dreamed about meeting an English person. He teaches me his language and I teach him my language. He teaches me about his country, his house, his family and his friends. I always ask my father that we speak in another language that is not Spanish to practice some language that I study (English, French and Italian). It is a bit difficult for me to speak, but I have a big vocabulary. If I went abroad, the first thing that I would do is to improve my speech.

THIS IS WHAT I WOULD DO IF I WENT ABROAD TO LEARN FOREIGN LANGUAGES
I would like to go to a site attached to the city to know their culture and to show mine and find the differences between ours and theirs.
And when I go and learn their culture and I would like to have a guide in that country to explain me everything about the city where I stay.
Later I would like to meet people and I would give them my email to invite them to my house.
AHHH and I forgot about something else I would study the language to communicate.
Well, here is what I would do on a trip abroad to learn languages.
