Our last trip was to #Caerphilly #Castle
followed by a trip to the #cinema. I (Tereza) was the group leader from
Peartree Languages, and as many of you will know, I spend a lot of time
in the cinema, so I was able to recommend a good film for everyone to
watch.
We
met in the morning by the Central Station. Even though
the sun was shining and I thought that it would be nice and warm, it
wasn’t like
that at all. It was cold and windy, so some of our students were a bit
chilly because they bit had underestimated the weather in Cardiff!

| Warming up |
After
a short
journey by train we arrived in Caerphilly in the early morning and
decided that the
best thing to do was to have a cup of coffee or hot chocolate and wait
when it wias be bit
warmer. By the time we had talked through a couple of interesting
topics such as work, what everybody had been doing back in their
countries, what they
are doing here in Cardiff, their hobbies and families. And then we
started on Top Gear and the question of why Jeremy Clarkson had to leave
the TV Show. After a long, interesting and at some points very intense
conversation (not everybody
knew who Jeremy Clarkson or what Top Gear was) we decided to carry on
(by
now our student should know what 'carry on' means J)
with the trip and move to the visit of the castle.

We walked around for a couple
of hours as I explained some aspects of the history and love stories
about the people who used to live there. We watched a short video about
the history of the castle and took plenty of pictures. By the end
of the tour we had learned a number of new words and were more than
ready for our
lunch – fish and chips! For some of us it was the first ever portion of
fish and
chips, while others didn't even try it, but decided to go for
something else. With our full bellies we headed back to Cardiff and got
ready for the cinema.
After
a very long discussion we decided to watch Fast and Furious 7 (a love
of cars was shared by two students). With some explanation (though some
of us were a bit lost in the translation) everyone was able to enjoy the
film.
All
in all I think that everybody had a good time, me included. The students learned some new
things and had fun with their classmates.
We can't wait for the next trip!!
