My teacher asked me to write a composition
about the things I did on my daily routine during the 7 days I stayed in
Germany.
7th of December
When we arrived at Evershorst we took two trains, in one we spent 20 minutes and in the other one 1 hour. We had lunch in the train all together.
When we arrived at Göttingen we were very, very excited and happy to see our host families and our exchange partners which were waiting for us in the train station. I met Aenna (my exchange partner) her mother and her sister. We took the car to go to my new home. When we arrived they showed me all the rooms of the house and where I could sleep. They’ve got a house with 3 floors and I stayed at the bottom of the house. In my room I had a very big television, my own toilette, a very big sauna and my bed. I had dinner in the living room with the family and when we finished I went to Aenna’s room where we were talking about our personal things and then I went to my room to sleep.
8th of December
I woke up at 8 o’clock in the morning to go
with Aenna’s best friend who is called Emily and with her partner, Martina, for
catching the train and going to Hannover. In the train we had much fun because
all was quiet and we were the only ones talking. Most of the people were
reading and sleeping.
When we arrived in Hannover we went to Calvin Klein shop
which I wanted to enter to see how expensive were the prices comparing them to
Barcelona’s. Then we went to Starbucks to have something hot to drink since it
was very cold there. Then we went to Innenstadt where we could buy lots of
clothes and try them on. There, Aenna and I bought the same t-shirt from Adidas
and we ate a burger at Mc Donald’s.
After that we went to different shops just
to have a look and we came back to Göttingen to have dinner. In the night,
around 7 o’clock I stayed in Aenna’s room talking and listening to English
music.
9th of December
I woke up at 10 o’clock and I had breakfast
with Aenna. When we finished we dressed up and made up ourselves for going out together.
I went to Witzenhausen with Emily, Martina, Marc Delgado, Constantin, Julius
and Marti. There, we ate fries while we were listened to a fairy tale in German
and I didn’t understand anything at all! Also there were people playing musical
instruments and we were dancing around them having fun.
We also took photos, and
around 15 o ‘clock we returned to Göttingen. I had dinner and I prepared my
things for my first day of school.
10th of December
It was my first day of school. Firstly, we
went into a room with my Spanish friends and the German people. There, we introduced ourselves by saying the
things we like, interests, hobbies… and we played different games to know more
about us. Then we divided all of us into 2 different groups with the German people
which were going to be our tour guides of all the school. After that we had 15
minutes to have breakfast because the headmaster of the school was going to
explain us how the school works.
Afterwards we had a guided city tour of Göttingen
in English and it was very interesting but we were outdoors and it was really
cold. When all this time passed we went into the Christmas Market to buy
something to eat because some of us were really hungry, and then some of us
wanted to buy little presents to our Spanish families.
In the evening, we went
back home with our partner’s and we did face time with other exchange partners.
I also helped Aenna with her Spanish homework that was about cities and towns.
While we were doing the homework we were listening to Spanish and German music,
but we didn’t spend a lot of time with the homework because later she had
handball training. When she finished her training class we went back home and
we had dinner with our family. An hour later we did a video call with Michi and
Marc, who we were planning to hang out the following day, after school. But at
22:00 we finished the video call because we were really very tired and we wanted
to sleep.
11th of December
I woke up at 5:55 like every day for going
to school, and there we divided in different groups to attend to different Spanish
classes. We had breakfast and then we started our fairy tales with our groups. My
fairy tale was about SnowWhite a very famous tale.
Later, we went to the town
hall to visit the mayor which explained us how the town works and what would
they like to improve. He received us in a room where
he normaly talks with some managers about problems that they have in Göttingen.
I liked it because they put us a video of some sports that there are typical ,
the typical food… and although it was a bit long it was very interesting, and
he gave us applejuice and coca-cola.
When we finished this talked I went to the
chrismas market with Marc and Michi to eat a nutella creppe and to make some
beautiful pictures. These two persons (Marc and Michi) have made that my trip to
Germany was more funny and that I could have lot of fun laughing with them. Perhaps
they aren’t in my class, I consider them very good friends on which I can trust
on them, especially on Michi, because I have got a good faith on him but I won’t see him until the 14th of March. Although we could not
spend a lot of time with them because we needed to go to Aenna’s dance training
class i had fun.
12th of December
We met at 7:30 in a parking station where we
took the bus to go to Bad Hersfeld. In the bus I sat with Keren and we were
listening to music all the trip. When we arrived we had the option of doing
theatre or making stop motions which they consisted of taking lots of photos of
different movements. But I chose doing theatre and i stayed in a group of
Emily, Aenna, Martina and I. I had a lot of fun when we had to try clothes on
it because they were very ridiculous. When the time finished we had lunch all
together and we went to the city looking the Markets.
13th of December
I attended to a
phisical education class and there I’ve made friends but they are one year
younger than me. I didn’t play any game because I didn’t want to, but it was
funny watching how Victor played! When the class finished all the Spanish and
German people divided into 2 groups which they did firstone different activity
but then they would change.
I first started decorating a pot, with glitter,
stickers… and talking about what things we would do when they come to
Barcelona. Then the bell rang and we had to go to the playground/cafeteria to
have breakfast. When the classes started again we changed our activity by
making cookies.
First I was decorating the cookies with chocolate and then I
was creating the cookies with different shapes. We put all this cookies into the
oven and then we put them into 3 different boxes, because there were lots of
cookies! It was the time for having lunch and we went to the cafeteria to have
some fruit.
Then we had to leave the school and returning home, but I went with
Aenna and with 17 more people to eat a waffle in a coffe shop. We only stayed 1
hour and a half because we needed to retun home, to help Aenna in her Spanish
homework because afterwards we had to return to school to present our fairy
tailes.
So we went home to make the homework and to pick all the material
needed for maiking the play and show it to the parents. We showed to the
parents all our plays, our stop motions and our theatre performanced which they
had like it a lot. As soon as we finished, we had dinner in the cafeteria with
all the things that the parents prepared for us, and all the biscuits that we
prepared.
While we finished eating we did a mini disco which we were making a
circle and there was one person in the middle that had to sing or dance and the
rest of the people were applausing him/her. I did lots of pictures with
everyone as a reminder of them.
14th of December
I woke up at 6:40
to stay at the train station at 8:30. There I was really really sad because I
wanted to spend more time with my exchange partner and with my other German
friends. I didn’t cry but most of the people were. I didn’t want to leave because
I made lots of friends and I didn’t want to start again my routine. It was very
hard to say goodbye to them but during the time that we stayed in the train and
in the plane we talked with them. Unfortunately our I was really sad but during
this weekend but I will still doing face time with them and chating with them
too!
Although I don’t
do German at school, I could improve my English and the best thing that I’ve
made new good friends that I hope to continue having a good relationship with
them when I grow up. I’m really excited for when they come to Barcelona.
