This is my host family. They’re very nice. Helen’s English and Alex is Scottish, and their children are named Jenny and Jacob. Jenny’s fourteen and Jacob’s twelve. Sometimes I play soccer in the park with Jenny and Jacob, and sometimes we all go for a walk in the center of London. It’s a really interesting city. My favorite places are Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and Tower Bridge.
This is my language school. There are lots of students from different countries, and we all speak English together. My classmates are really friendly. I always sit with Hitoshi. He’s Japanese. Our English lessons are fun! Our teacher’s name is Kerry, and she’s from Australia.
We’re the champions! I’m happy, but I’m also sad because it’s the end of my month here. Goodbye, London! Until next time!
I’m at the soccer tournament now. The teams are from Spain, Brazil, Portugal, Poland, Russia, England, Scotland, and Japan. We train every morning. I think we’re a good team because we’re very fast. The games are in the evening. They’re really exciting!
