WORKING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE
Last year, when I left school and before I
went to university, I got a summer job in
Bournemouth with young people from
different countries. The young people
came to England to study English. They
studied every morning from 8.30 to
12.30. In the afternoons we visited
interesting places with them. There were
six other students like me by the end of
the summer we were best friends!

Every two weeks we went to London
Airport to meet new students and
welcome them to England. The coach
journey from Bournemouth is two hours,
so we spent the time on the way back
telling them about the course and the
activities.
Three times a week we did sports with
the students and twice a week we visited
the local area. At weekends we travelled
to different parts of the country. We went
to Bath, London, Edinburgh and Cardiff.
In London we all stayed in a small hotel
near Victoria Station and on the first day
we went on the London Eye. The
students loved it. Then we did the bus
sightseeing tour. On Sunday we went to
Camden Market and the British Museum
the museum was my favourite part of
the visit. Some students thought it was
boring, but I loved it. Most of the students
preferred the market it was their
favourite part of the visit. We really
needed much more time to see
everything!
