ITALIAN PUPILS' COMMENTS ON THE MOBILITY TO SPAIN

 

SIBILLA

Hello! Let's talk about the amazing travel to Spain. Let's start saying that it was the best experience of my life. At the beginning I didn't feel completely sure to leave my country ang go to another one without my parents, but now I know that if I didn't go it would have been a big mistake. I decided to go to Spain because it seemed like a great opportunity to learn the culture of another country and to improve my English.

The place was really beautiful, and I love big cities like Madrid but it was really loud so we were lucky to stay in a smaller town, not far from Madrid, called Móstoles. The school was amazing, it was the biggest I had ever seen, but the thing I liked the most was the people. My host family was kind and funny and my classmates were awesome! I felt like a celebrity with them, they were always around me asking how life was in Italy, I loved them!

The food was great and we also did a lot of activities, I had so much fun!

I think that there was nothing that I didn't like, the only thing that I hated was leaving all the friends and the family, they are a piece of my heart now.

I chose to take part in this project because I like travelling and I think it is a nice idea to know other languages, traditions and cultures.

I liked the school because there was a big place outside to play together. I also liked it because the students were very friendly. I loved the activities and the weather because it was sunny. I had a very good time with the host family! They were friendly and kind to me. I tasted many dishes of the local cuisine and they were all very good: soups, meat, pulses and sweets. I didn't like lunch and dinner times because they were too late for me.

I loved very much this experience and I hope to return soon to Spain.

I did this project because I like learning about cultures of other countries. The Erasmus + project helps students of different nationalities to be connected and gain experience abroad.

Spain is beautiful and people helped us when we were in difficult situatiins. I liked Spain because there are a lot of monuments.

When I was there I got up at8:00 o' clock because school started at 9:00 a.m. and finished at 4:00 p.m. And I used to eat in the canteen. At school we did a lot of fun activities. In the evening we stayed with "our" family. The house was big and beautiful. I didn't like the food because I don't like some food.

I really enjoyed this school trip to Spain. I liked everything, from the friends to the places. The test I made at school was totally worth it. At first I thought England was better but I was wrong and I am glad I was. I didn't like the tortillas. I hate those 2 - 3 times and it was a bit too much for me but everything else was really good: the culture, the places, the school and, of course, the people!!

 

ALESSANDRA.

The last week in May I was a guest in a family in Spain. I chose to take part in this project because I like languages and love travelling. I was a guest in a wonderful family and the school was beautiful with a huge courtyard where to play. I had a lot of fun because every day we did different activities. On Monday there was a celebration for all the children who took part in the Erasmus programme. In the afternoon we visited Móstoles. On Tuesday morning we visited Madrid (wonderful) and in the afternoon we visited the Europa park which is a big park with all the most famous monuments in Europe but in a smaller size. On Wednesday morning we did workshops at school: we made bookmarks and pom poms. On Thursday morning we did workshops in english and in the afternoon we went to a huge shopping mall, we visited an aquarium and we did a lot of shopping. On Friday morning we played in the playground with the students from all the other classes, we had a really great time. In the afternoon we had a picnic with all the students from the other partner countries. On Saturday morning we left for the airport. It was really sad to leave Spain and the family, and I cried almost all day!

It was an unforgettable experience that I wish everyone to make, at least once in their life.
