Letter from an aupair in England

MY THOUGHTS ON MY STAY SO FAR IN THE UK

Now that this experience is coming to an end - ten days left, I must say that I am very happy to have decided to live it.

These two months I have been very happy, the family have received me as a member of their family. We have talked about everything, they have shared with me their culture, their way of life and all they have made of this experience a unique experience that I will never forget.

During these two months I have lived with two lovely children. It has been wonderful, we have played, laughed, danced, etc. For me it has been a fun time and I am going to miss them a lot.

I came with my Spanish friend Alba to this adventure and thanks to it everything has been easier. We have shared everything and we have supported in the difficult times, also I meet new friends Monica and Paula and I hope to continue the relationship in Valencia. And the opportunity to meet other cultures like France or Czech Republic thanks to friends like Adela and Mael.

My adaptation has been much easier thanks to my host family. I have told them everything and they have explained and answered all my qüestions. The most difficult and what I have not yet got used to it, the UK weather so different from Spain.

In English, I think I have learned a lot, that I have improved the oral one and I have expanded my vocabulary. I have also learned about English culture, I have lived for two months immersed in this culture, and it is not the same as coming a week on holidays.

From this trip I also take all the places that I have visited. Old and historic towns such as York, Bath... Famous cities such as Liverpool and Manchester... Edinburgh which is a beautiful city, with lots of magic and to which I hope to return to Valencia. I will spend a couple of days in London.

In conclusion, considered that I have been very lucky. I have been with a wonderful host family, with lovely and fun kids, I have enjoyed the time here a lot, I have met very good friends, I have known the English culture and cultures of other countries, I have improved my English, both oral and written, and I have visited many places in a very short time.

I wish I could live this experience again and I hope to enjoy the week and a half I have left here.
