On Monday we had classes in the morning as usual; we played some games to improve our English and we talked about sports and fashion.
At 11 we had a surprise: a woman who works for a newspaper of Polk County came to interview us about what we do here in the States and what's this program like. It was very interesting because we could tell her about all the amazing things we do here and it was a very good exercise to improve our speech skills. We can't wait to see the final article in the newspaper!!! After that we kept playing some more games until it was lunch time.
Right after class we had lunch at a very cool restaurant, Patio 850. They gave us pizza, salad and some chocolates. Everything was delicious!!!
Our first afternoon activity didn't go well at all, because we were supposed to go to Hollis Gardens but they were closed. Instead we stopped by one of the different lakes of Lakeland to feed some birds that were close to us.
Our last activity was going to a small mall where there were two outlets, and it was fantastic because we had the chance to buy clothes of expensive brands for less than $30!!!! At 4pm we all met in the parking lot as it was time to go home with our families.
Although we didn't go to Hollis Gardens, it was a great day and we had so much fun!!!
Carmen.
