English at Saint Etienne.

Bonjour à tous!

Les correspondants anglais vont être à Cahors bien plus tôt que prévu,

ils ont sans doute dû prendre le ferry plus tôt...

Ils sont annoncés ce soir entre 19h30 et 20h.

Rendez-vous donc place Bessières à 19h30...

Faites passer ce message à vos camarades pour qu'il ne manque personne à l'appel !!!

Here are the videos of the songs we sang in class.

Happy holidays & happy singing !

My exchange partner is Cameron. He has two brothers but he lives with his mother. He is very nice. He didn't speak a lot. He had a good relationship with me and my parents. He lives in the countryside, one hour from his school. On the first week-end, on Saturday night, we have been to the bowling and on Sunday afternoon, we have seen Taken 2 at the cinema. In the week-end, we have played tennis together. On the school days, we have woken up at 6.50 am. At night, we have played tennis together. It isn't the same English which is spoken by English that the one we learn at school. It's very different. I didn't like to go to school when they were visiting the area. It was cool when they've been in class with us on Wednesday morning. He was happy when we asked him if his day was good. He had never been in France before. I think he's happy of the trip. Every night, he wrote on a copybook but I don't know what he wrote. I'm looking foward to going there because I imagine that it will be very good to go in another country for one week. So I'm looking foward to being in March and to seeing Cameron and other English friends.

Maxime.

My opinion on the exchange … so far

My guest's name is Will Sharpe, he is tall and very friendly, he has got a sister, her name is Amy, she's older than him and his father is a market gardener and her mother is a cleaner. He eats almost everithing. He was a very good friend, very funny. About him, I liked the fact than he was feeling at ease with me and my parents ; the relationships with my family was good. I think that my way of life was good for Will. He has liked all the meals that my mother or my father had cooked. I think that what he liked the best was bowling on the first weekend and I think he didn't like the morning at school on Friday. On the first weekend, on saturday Will went to watch my handball match with my father during one hour it was in the afternoon and just before the match we went and eat pizzas. At 9 O'clock we went to play bowling with all the others guests and with my friends, it was very good, and on Sunday we went to play to the « billard hollandais », in the morning and in the afternoon we went to walk my sister to her dance classes. And in the evening, we watched a film on tv in english, eating lots of sweets. I would have liked to go and play paintball but I didn't have time, it's not important because it was very good anyway. I regret that they didn't stay longer. I think my english has evolved during this exchange with the English highschool QEGS ! And for Will, I think he has learned some vocabulary, I think he has a little improved too ! Thanks to Mr. Hichard and Mrs Rigby for this wonderful exchange ! It was very good !
