Today’s activities:

I would like to write about all the important events that deserve to be mentioned.

Firstly, as every weekday, most of us woke up at 7:00 to have breakfast at 8:00. Breakfast was really good, different from other times because we ate a hash brown (a kind of omelet made of potatoes and onions) accompanied by some baked beans. As always, we didn’t have juice. We think that British people aren’t used to drink it, instead they prefer to drink water. After breakfast we had classes with Steven, we practiced with dependent prepositions for a full hour, and later we did some listening exercises. To sum up we had a great time and it went by really fast.

Today’s plan was to visit the Imperial War Museum, but first we had lunch, which was a small cheese sandwich with some salad (Brits don’t eat so much for lunch). They prefer to have their largest meal at dinnertime.

Later in the afternoon we took the Tube to Lambert North. The museum was near the station, so we did not have to walk much to get to it. This museum was simply extraordinary and unforgettable, for most of us it was the best of all we have visited so far. I really enjoyed it. I have learnt lots of things which I had never heard about, for example, the Jewish conditions of life in the Second World War or the devastating effect of the missiles developed during that same war. We liked the fact that every single event is recorded in the museum, although I may say that I would have needed more time to look at it in detail. I would like to go back there and read carefully every note and text in that museum. We stayed there for 3 hours and a half, from 2:30pm to 6:00pm. After returning to Netherhall we had a delicious dinner in which we prepared for a really important event, the match between Ecuador and Mexico. I am writing this before the match ends. At this moment Ecuador is winning 1-0, and we are all hoping that Ecuador will win the match, we believe in our team!!!

In conclusion, we had a good day, as always. We all enjoyed it together. Furthermore, we recovered from the allergies and other small problems. I hope you like the pictures and this report.
