On this trip we learned a lot of Eng-

much.
I liked the monitors very very much
because they taught us a lot of new
things and new words in English.
We rode a horse, we played baseball,
football and many games and we
climbed. At night, we went to the disco
and we had fun.
During our free time, we went to Car-

at night. We did theater and it was very
