The first proof was not to lose
when I got off the plane. I decided to do this trip alone so I had to be
consistent with my decision. I had to buy the tickets and look for the bus and
two trains which they would bring me in Torquay train station. I have never
travelled alone and I have some problems to understand the English language when
people speak with me quickly, so it wasn’t easy for me.
When I arrived in Torquay my host
family went to the train station to welcome. They were very kind with me. They
gave me a round by car to show the city and afterwards, they introduce me other
students who live in the house as well.
I knew that I worked in The
Training Partnership, the company which managers and organises the students’
stay. However, the first day that I stepped the building wasn’t my first day at
work. The day before, I had a meeting with other newly arrived students. There
were Italian, Germany and Spanish people and all of them probed to be nice
people. After the meeting we went to drink something in a pub together and some
of them have become to my first friends here.
About my job in the company, I
have been helping to research some useful information by Internet, write some
documents and use the network Facebook to contact with other students. The work
environment is great, all the people are good with me and I’m practicing
English a lot.
What’s more, I have met a lot of
people; Italian, Germany, French and, of course, lots of Spanish. I have
visited with some of them some near cities like Brixham, Paignton or Exeter.
Also I have gone shopping and to the beach, using the good time of this week.
Although I miss my family and my
friends, really I’m spending a good time here.
