MY LAST SUMMER

Hi class, today I'm going to talk about my last summer. First of all, I'm going to talk about my experience in Lourdes. Second I'm going to talk about the month of July at the summer school, then I'm going to talk about the days in Andorra and Begur, after I will explain some special days during August, and finally I talk about the last days of summer.

In the first week of the summer, like three years ago, I returned to Lourdes, but I think that this year was the best because come Maria, Núria and Jordi and we met other people. I also enjoyed a lot these days because this year we did more things like playing the guitar, dancing, theater, talking to old people and celebrating the Saint Joan there. Also this year we celebrated the fifty years of the peregrination with all the people. The things that I enjoyed most were the mornings because we did the animation group and we awoke the people with our animation and I also liked the day that we celebrated the 50 years because we had a big dinner.

During all the month of July, with Núria we did pre-monitors in the summer school with kids between 3 to 5 years and the topic was the circus. It was the best experience in the summer because I enjoyed a lot this month doing games, crafts, excursions..., because I remember old times. During this month I also met my friends in the afternoons and at the weekends I went some days to the beach with my parents.

During some days of August I went to Andorra with my parents, I spent one day to Caldea and the others I went shopping or to visit places... I went some days to Begur with my friends and we spent the days at the beach or to different places near there, like the White Summer and the beach of Pals or we stayed at the house of my friend playing.

Some days that I want to highlight was the day that I went with Xènia, Maria and Elisenda at the concert of Passenger in Cap Roig, it was amazing, the best was when we met Mike and he signed our CD. We spent the entire concert singing loud and shouting. Also I highlight the day in Water World with my friends that I enjoyed a lot, the summer carnival that my friends came to my flat to sleep, the birthday of my neighbor when we spend the day in her house with other friends at the pool...

During the two weeks of September I returned in mornings at the summer school and in the afternoons I met my friends, I went shopping, I went to the cinema and to the beach and I prepared the things for school to return to the routine.
