Summer in Britain
Chiaki Suzuki
November 2022
This year, I spent two weeks studying English. I chose to stay in a beautiful
city, called Punton, and had a wonderful time there. There were many things
to do, which was exciting. I was never bored. It can get expensive, but I liked
getting student discounts when I showed my student card. Also, I liked
window-shopping and using the local library I ate a variety of food from
around the world, too, as there were many people from different cultural
backgrounds living there. Most of the friends I made were from my English
school, so I did not practice speaking English with the locals as much as I had
expected. On the other hand, I came to have friends from many different
countries/ Lastly, I took public transport/which I found convenient and easy
to use as it came frequently.
If I had stayed in the countryside, however, I would have seen a different
side of life in Britain. My friend who stayed there had a lovely,/relaxing
experience. She said farmers sell their produce directly. Also, there are local
theatres bands, art and craft shows restaurants, and some unusual activities
like stream-jumping. However, getting around is not as easy, so it's harder to
keep busy. You need to walk some distance to catch buses or trains, which do
not come as often. In fact, she had to keep a copy of the timetables. If I had
been in the countryside, I probably would have walked around and chatted with
the local people.
I had a rich cultural experience and I want to go back to Britain. However,
next time I want to connect more with British people and eat more traditional
British food.
