Last summer, Joel and Sara were in England for two weeks.
They travelled in August and were in a school with other
students.

It was fantastic because they talked to students of

different countries and learned about other cultures.

In the morning, they studied. In the

afternoon, they visited different places
or played different sports at the school.

It was so much fun. They walked at the

beach with their new friends and played or chatted.

In the evening, they were tired so they sometimes

watched videos or played board games.

The best days were Saturday and Sunday because

they travelled to London.

At the end of the two weeks, they were sad to return home. The holidays
were fun and different from usual. They cried a little when they said goodbye
to their new friends.
