Galway experience

We went to Galway, Ireland. It was incredible, I really enjoyed the experience and also I enjoyed the experience of traveling with my friends. At first we were so nervous because we were going to meet our host family, that were so kind and very well coming.
I really enjoy all the walking tour, Galway is a very lovely city. I really liked the center with all its Christmas lights, also I really liked the landscapes of Galway, everithing was very green and very beautiful.
Irish people were so nice and frendly, and we met some people there. The bus experience was funny and we met some people there too.
I recomend this trip because it´s worth a lot and everything is beautiful.
I would love to repeat this trip, it has been an unforgettable experience, in which I have also learned a lot of English and many things of Galway.

Galway experience

We went to Galway 3 weeks ago; It was fantastic! I was so nervous when we travelled by plane because It was my first time that I did it. Also we were nervous when we met our host family, they were very friendly.

I will never forget the walking tour, Galway is a dream city, with Christmas decoration and songs. Also I’ll never forget the landscapes like the lakes, Connemara, Kylemore and the Cliffs of Moher.

I will never forget the bus experience too, we met some people there and we were noiser than Irish people.

I think the bowling was very fun.

Almost Irish people were friendly and nice and Galway is beautiful.

I recommend this trip because it is a good opportunity to interact, learn English, learn about other cultures and It is a very fun and very beautiful experience.

I have learnt a lot of things and I really enjoyed this trip.

Sunday: Connemara and Kylemore abbey

After a whole day travelling, we got some rest and got ready for our first day in Ireland: Connemara and Kylemore abbey tour.

Here are some pictures...

Saturday: all day travelling

I'd dare to say that our trip really started on Friday evening when the travel agency called me to announce me a complete change of flights, but we got everything under control relatively soon, However, it took me a lot of my time to get the students' families informed, to make the necessary arrangements to change the buses and to get in contact with the Irish school to let them know about the last minute alteration. Basically, we would reach Dublin instead of Shannon through a two hours scale in Birmingham.

We first met at our school, IES GENERALIFE, at 11 o'clock. Five minutes later we were on our way to Malaga. I already thanked the families when we all said goodbye, but I'd like to do it again because parents are giving their sons and daughters a really good opportunity to improve their English and cultural awareness. I am sure they will never forget such an experience. It was the first time travelling abroad for many of the students, so they were very excited but at the same time a bit scared: first time on a plane, first time using English in a real context, new architecture, new families to live with, new teachers, new food, etc. JUST NOVELTY!

Once in Birmingham, we had some unexpected problems that we'd rather forget, but let me share a few thoughts on this. First, I realised how important it is to bear one company when facing problems, particularly when you are in charge a big group of students. Second, we knew needed to show quietness if we wanted our students to be calm too, so we really tried to simply solve the little issues the best that we could.Well, we literally jumped into the airplane at the very last minute but right on time! We had to run but that was a good exercise! :)

After we landed in Dublin and everyone got their suitcases, we easily found the bus driver who would take us to Galway, where we would finally meet our host families. It took us three more hours to reach Galway, but the whole day travelling was definitely worthy as students will spend a whole week of immersion in a totally different country with a new culture for most of them. Yeah! Bus drivers seats are on the right side of the bus, they drive on the left, they take roundabouts on the left, they pass other cars on the right... First cultural shock for some of the students :)

Finally, at 11,20 students started to get off the bus and meet their host families. They were all excited and enthusiastic even if we were all exhausted too.

How I feel about the trip to Galway, by Mauricio Luque

Hello everyone.

My name is Mauricio, and tomorrow morning I take a bus to Málaga to then take two planes: the first one to Birmingham and the second one to Dublin, and finally take another bus to Galway.
Sometimes, when I have seen other people very exicetd about the trip I have felt strange, because I'm not so excited about the trip. Obviously I want to go to Galway, of course but t
his maybe can be possible because I have already traveled abroad twice, but with my parents. This trip is special because it's the first time that I travel abroad alone, without my parents, and it's also the first time that I'm going to must speak English everytime. This trip remember me another trip that I did at school, but it's different.

Finally, although i'm not as excited as other, I'm sure that I will enjoy it a lot and I won't forgot this trip.

Trip to Galway

I am very excited yet scared because of the trip. On one hand I am thrilled because I have always wanted to visit the UK, and I finally get the chance to make my dream come true. Also, I think that what we are going to learn about Irish culture is very interesting and useful. But, on the other, I am indeed scared because of my height fobia and also because I hope that Ireland will achieve my expectations of what it is.

Travel to Galway, Ireland.

Tomorrow we're going to travel To Galway. I really want to go, and I can't wait for tomorrow. I'm not really nervous, because it isn't the first time that I travel abroad, but it's the first time that I travel with friends. 
I hope the travel will be amazing, and I hope to come back to Spain with a better english level. I know this travel will be unfotgotable, and all of us will have a great time there. 
See you tomorrow!
