My
last summer
Hi my
name is Jordi and now I'm going to explane my last summer.
First I
went to a campus in Tiana with my friends: Adrià, Eloi and Quim.
There, I was very scared first because I saw the rooms. The rooms
were very big and in my room there were about 15 beds. There I met a
lot of friends like Oriol Soldevilla, Enric, Roger, Pau, Oliver, Marc
etc. I also met an other friends like Ignasi Vilarrasa, Marc, Núria,
Violeta, Roser...They were from Barcelona and Tortosa a town in the
south of Catalonia.
In the
campus I learned a lot of English and I had fun too.
In
August, I went to Venice, Florence, Genova and Pisa. First I went to
Genova by car. There I stead at the hotel for 1 night to rest. I also
went to the beach near there but I don't swam a lot.
In the
second day we went to Venice. It was fantastic. First I went to Sant
Marco's square. I had a coffee there and it was very expensive. On
the other day I went by gondola and it was very expensive too but it
was very interesting and exciting.
I was
very happy in Venice.
Three
nights before I went to “La Firenze”. There I visited a lot of
churches and the “ponte Veccio”. I also ate a lot of pizza and
pasta.
The last
day I went to the tower of Pisa.
I had a
great holidays!
In the
lasts days of the summer I stayed in Banyoles. I went to the lake and
the swimming pool with my friends. It was fantastic.
