Miquel's acknowledgements

Hello!

I'm Miquel and they told me to do the last post on our blog.

It's difficult to know what to say because I want to say many things of the nice time we spent in England and all the work we did recording our programmes in Radio St. Cugat ,and how much we learnt about each other and how interesting it is to live with a family different from your own.We have in our memory many annecdotes that we will remember when we grow old.

So I am just going to say to all the people that we met,to all our teachers that helped us so much,to all the staff of Ràdio St.Cugat and to Yvonne and Sharon our teacher's in Plymouth.

Thank you very, very much for your interest ,your time, your professionality and for helping us reach our target.

At the weekends I like to meet my friends, go to Barcelona shopping, read, surf in the internet and sleep…

I'm very happy because I went to England,I think I can really understand more English now.I like doing radio programmes too.It's cool!
Working on this project has been exciting and very useful.Before we went to England,English was only something you have to learn at school.Now,I think it is very useful,and my teacher says I have a good accent.It's fantastic.
In Plymouth my family was very nice and I lived near Sara,so when Sara was ill.I took a get well card to her from all the class.English people send cards for everything.It's a nice tradition.
