Je m’appelle Lara et je suis au lycée Ste marie du Port aux Sables d’Olonne en France. Ma correspondante anglaise, Emma, est arrivée il y a 3 jours pour passer une semaine avec nous.
Ça fait plus de 10 ans que mon collège organise des échanges avec son collège à Woking, en Angleterre.
Les élèves et leurs profs sont arrivés en car vendredi soir. J’ai été hyper-contente de rencontrer Emma. Elle essaie de parler français et je m’entends bien avec elle. On a passé le premier weekend en famille et c’était super sympa.
Lundi matin, nous sommes allées au collège ensemble L’après-midi, nous avons visité une abbaye. Le lendemain, nous avons visité le musée des coquillages où Emma a acheté plein de souvenirs pour sa famille.
Demain matin, il y aura une sortie au Puy du Fou, c’est un complexe de loisirs français à thématique historique situé sur la commune des Epesses, en Vendée. Samedi, je serai très triste de dire au revoir à Emma quand elle partira. Ce fut une belle expérience.
