My trip to Italy!

Hi everyone! It's Núria.

So now I'm going to explain to you about my trip to Italy that we did a few weeks ago.

We all met at 5.15a.m. at school so I woke up at 4 o'clock. We took the bus to the Barcelona airport, we were a little bit late because there were so many people on the road, but we made it on time. We took the flight and we were in Milan! There, we took another bus and we went straght to Llac di Garda, Sirmione. There we had lunch, (our first pizza in Italy!) and we visited the whole city. Then we went to Verona, we left our luggage in our rooms and we visited the Arena, Romeo and Juliet's place, and we went for dinner to our restaurant.

The next day, we took the train to go to Venice. We walked through the entire city until we arrive to the Piazza di San Marco. There we entered to the Duomo (Cathedral), it was really big and beautiful! Before lunch, we went to a Burano's glass Museum. We had lunch all together, but then we made two groups. My group went shopping and also we had the chance to go to the San Marco's Campanile. You could see Venice from the air!

On Wednesday, we didn't do many things. We took our luggage because we were moving to Florence. We took two trains until we arrived. Our hotel was amazing, it was in the center of Florence, and from our room we could see the Duomo! We went lunch and we went for a walk around the city. Then we had some free time, but we were so tired that we stayed in the hotel.

The following day, we had to wake up really early because at 9a.m. we were going to visit the museum Ufizzi. We spend half of the morning there, but then we went to climb the Cúpula of Santa Maria del Fiore. After lunch, we went to the Accademia, we only went there to watch the David of Michelangelo, because it's the main sculpture. After that, we went to the Baptistery but we didn't make it to see the Duomo. The main part of our class went to climb the Campanile, it was exhausting! After, all the class went to have some ice cream, it was delicious! Then we had some free time, with my friends, we went to the hotel because we were too tired to go shopping. After dinner, some of us took a last walk around Florence because it was our last night there.

The following morning, we woke up a little bit late compared to the other days. We had breakfast and we took the bus to go the Florence's viewpoint. There we took some photos and we went to Lucca. In Lucca, we had a walk to the square, then we had some free time and Maria and I went shopping. We had lunch in Pisa, and then we visited the Duomo and the Baptistery, finally we took some photos and we went tto the airport to return to Catalonia.

MY LAST SUMMER

Hi, now I'm going to talk about my last summer. First of all, I'm talking about Lourdes; then about my days in Banyoles and finally about my journey around Europe.

Some days after finishing the school classes, I went to Lourdes for five days with my friends with Girona Hospitality. We needed to take the “sick” people around the city, talking to them and organize some activities.

In July, I stayed in Banyoles resting after we came back from Lourdes. For two weeks, my friend, Maria, and I tried to go kayaking in the lake with the Club. It was so tiring but so funny because there was people training there too. I also met some friends during that month and with my family we went to the beach.

In August my parents and I rent a little van and we went travelling around Europe for a whole week. We went through France, Liechenstein, Switzerland, Austria and Germany, and we turned back to Italy. My favourite places were Austria, Germany and North-Italy because they were peaceful and beautiful places with a lot of mountains and lakes.

The rest of the summer I stayed in Banyoles meeting my friends and my family.

In every way, it was a great summer.

My classmates:
Joan Rigau: He went to Lourdes twice, first with Girona Hospitality and the second one was with an international movement.
Elisenda: She went to an exchange program in USA for one month and she stayed there with a Mexican family. 
Joan Cagigós: He went to Hawaii in middle September. He went there by plane going from Barcelona to Frankfurt and then to Hawaii.
Núria Jaén: She went to a premonitor school in Medinyà the next Monday after school, she went there every day of the week.
Laia: In August she spent two weeks in Palamós going to the beach and walking in the afternoon with her family.
Elisabet: She went to Andorra to celebrate her birthday because she had never been there before.
Maria Serra: She went to Asturias for the Canoing Spain Championship and in September she went to Belgium to do canoing.

My Oral Presentation:

Observation:

In my Oral Presentation, I didn't look to much at the audience, I looked almost all the time to the walls to keep remembering everything. I had a little paper in the table but I didn't read in it, I just had a few looks.
I organized the few ideas I had chronologically, to match them I tried to use some markers to make my presentation more clear.
I check the grammar verbs to make sense for what I was talking about. I also check in the diccionary for new words and how to pronounse them, but it was hard to do it.
