Dickens in Cambridge [August Edition]: 8th August

Good morning everyone!

As you can see in the title, our students had a quite talkative day. Do you want to know why? Keep reading!

In the morning, as usual, they updated their blogs, wrote their diaries and the magazine groups continued with their hard work! This is a great practice for them to improve their writing skills, and they are learning a lot of new vocabulary as well!

After lunch, students had some free time, and then we went for the first time to the English Speaking Practice, at Harry's. Everyone worked in groups led by some native speakers. This was a very nice opportunity for them to practice their oral and listening skills, and they had a great time!

After that, we went to a park in order to carry on with the following activity: British Cuisine.

During this activity, our students could learn a bit more about British food traditions and, at the same time, we could relax for a while in one of Cambridge numerous parks.

Later on, our students could put their new knowledge about British food into practice, because we were going to a typical English pub for having dinner: "The Regal". There, some of our students ordered fish and chips and some others roast pork! Yummy...

Even though we were really full, we wanted some dessert, so we went to Andy's International Café because they had pancake night!!!! Our students socialized, in English of course, with people from Germany, Egypt, Japan, France, Colombia, Italy, Australia, Ireland... That was a wonderful mixture of cultures!!!!!! And they could also enjoy together a table tennis match!
