Unfortunately, we reached the end of the Comenius project - A good
education equals a good job. I had a pleasure to take part in a wonderful trip to Germany involved in this project. Together with my friends from school we visited a wonderful and eauliful German cities ! "sterwegen, #amurg and $remen. %f those cities I have most liked #amurg ecause it astonished me with its eauty, tradition and culture. #ere, in #amurg we spent only two days ut we visited a lot of interesting places. I really enjoyed the oat ride and a visit in The &iniatur 'underland &useum. I was also impressed y the contrast in the architecture ecause for e(ample on the right side, there were old , prewar uildings and on the left side, there were modern factories. $ut the most memorale time I spent in a small town that was our goal ! "sterwegen. )uring five days I have met many new friends from Germany, Italy, "stonia and $ulgaria. I really liked the German school ecause it is different than polish school. The German teachers are very nice and congenial. I really liked the trip with friends from partner schools over the sea to $remerhaven. )uring this trip we made friends with pupils from German school. %n the last day of the trip we could taste traditional German dishes. German cuisine is very similar to *olish cuisine, and maye that+s why it was really tasty to me. )uring our stay in Germany, it surprised me very much that the Germans are eating a lot of fast food and they are drinking large ,uantities of fi--y drinks. The trip which was organi-ed with the Comenius project I really liked ecause I got to know the culture and traditions of Germany and also I learned many German phrases. )uring this project I took part in the visit of students from partner schools. I had the opportunity to host at my home a friend from Germany- .erstin. It was an ama-ing feeling to host a foreigner in your home. In this way, I trained my "nglish through daily conversation with a new friend. &y roommate was very nice, chatty and friendly. /ll the students from foreign lands were very friendly and nice. I got along the most with our peers from Germany and "stonia. I am also pleased that I met friends who I met in Germany. I really enjoyed the trip to the 0wi1tokr-yskie &ountains. The most interesting attraction for all was the /musement *ark and &iniature near .ielce.2tudents from partner schools were very satisfied with spending time together. I rememer with pleasure the common onfire in .lew when we sang, played games and talked. I am very happy that I could take part in the Comenius project through which I could e(plore Germany. Thanks to this project, I corrected my "nglish and German and I got in touch with new friends from different countries. I think, this project allowed me the contact with foreigners that have helped us to develop our language skills . Wiktoria Korecka
