STUDENTS’ VIEWS ABOUT MOBILITIES
I WILL NEVER FORGET
Torres Novas – Portugal – 6th- 12th May 2018
The Erasmus week was a great experience for me:I went abroad fort he first time, met with totaly different
culture(tasting their dishes,their music,their dance)and met with some new people with using my English (this is
important because it was the first time that i must use my English).
When i heard the project first time,it was very exiting for me because it’s about theatre and i love theatre. Then
my friends and I started to read some theatre paly to find the best one to play fort he contest in our school to choose
the best performance for Portugal.We found “THREE MAN IN A BOAT” but we decided to change it with our words
because we could make it better and we made it better.
When I met my host family I couldn’t speak cause I
felt a bit shy and i slept.Then first day ,we visited the
school They presented a lot of activities about their
literature background.They showed us the history of
the city through “PEDDY PAPER” activity which is tiring
but we leart a lot of things about the city Torres Novas.
In the theatre day,my friends were looking a little
stresfull but I was calm because I knew that we were
ready.But I was very curious about other nation’s
performances.Theatres were great each partner
schools tried to do their best.The viewers enjoyed a lot
since our play is comedy. I felt as if I’m on the Nirvana of my English.
In European day,I was very suprised because they prepared a
interesting game for us.I played and lost(but I learnt something
new that is the real point).It is a great memory for me.
We visited various historical places in Portugal but best
place is center of Lisbon of course.I saw a lot of
statues,colorful buildings,operas and more things.I don’t
know how to explain it was really wonderful city.
At the end of the week it was really hard to say goodbye
for me to my host family.They did their best for me .I will
ever forget their warm welcoming of us.
I believe I improved myself a lot during the activity week in Portugal.This is a big opportunity for me and
for my friends to learn about different cultures, traditions, history literature and their schools,educations.
