    I'm Susan, a student from China. I decided to study English for two weeks in the summer vacation, so I chose a language school in the UK.

    It was a wonderful experience! The school was beautiful and the teachers were very nice and friendly. When I studied in the school, I stayed with an English family. The family didn't speak Chinese, so I had to try hard to talk with them in English. But it was a good way to practice my English. They lived in a beautiful house, only 20 minutes away from the school by bus. I loved staying with them, because they were very friendly and they had two daughters who were at my age: Jane and Melissa. Every morning, after breakfast, we took the bus to school.

    Lessons started at 9:00 a. m. and finished at 1:00 p. m. I was free almost the whole after- noon, so I had lots of time to read English books after school. In the evening, I never went out. I liked watching TV for some time, and then went to bed early. On the weekend, Jane and Melissa took me to watch some sports games and visit some famous places.

    This was my best summer vacation. My English got much better and I made a lot of new friends. Now I'm back at school in China and I'm sure my English grades will be much better!
