I don't know about you, but for us
it has been a busy week. Every week is busy, though. We welcomed a couple of
new students, were very happy with the FCE results of our students from Summer,
(everybody passed by the way) and unfortunately needed to say ''good bye'' to
some long-term students as well. But one thing was a bit special this week and
it was our MONDAY COFFEE TIME.

| Tristan is explaining something |
As we mentioned
before, every Monday is our 'Coffee Time with Peartree Languages'. For those
who do not know, it is from 12 pm to 1 pm in Saffron Café (2 minutes from
school) and it is a free conversation class- you only have to buy own cup of
tea or coffee!
This Monday was
very appropriate for a cup of something hot. The weather was not pleasant at
all, but, as Tristan says, Autumn should be like that.
Cold, rainy and blustery. So after the students and Tristan had settled in with
their drinks and in one case with a big piece of cake (!), the conversations
began. Obviously, the dramatic change in weather was the first topic, as the
weather so often is in Britain- whether you are queuing in the super market,
buying tickets for your bus or travelling somewhere, weather is the number one
ice-breaker. This is a feature of British culture (which was another topic of
conversation).
Because some of
our students are willing to take the FCE exam or IELTS exam, the rest of the
time was taken up with questions and exchanging information about how to pass
successfully. We were very happy that our week started with such a great number
of students (7) for our Coffee Time and we can't wait for next Monday!
Everybody is
welcome and you do not need to sign up for the free "conversation
class". If you don't know where Saffron Café is, just come to our main
office and we will show you. Next week Tristan will be hosting Coffee Time
again, but Dan has promised to pop in as well!
