International Summer Camp

My name is Kate and this summer, in August, I was at the International Camp in Germany, where I studied German. We lived in a small town of Stein, which is situated in Bavaria. We lived in single or double rooms in the building of the castle. Most of the day we spent outside, where the weather was always warm and sunny.

On the second day the lessons started. My teacher's name was Norbert, he lived in Bonn. The lessons were never boring — even when we studied grammar. Norbert always knew how to turn the rule into a game. Because there were people from many countries in my group, I was unable to speak Russian, and that helped my German greatly.

After school twice a week we had a special project lesson (for example: I helped to write a newspaper). The rest of the time we did fun activities. We did basketball, football, tennis, karate, learned how to do belly dancing, swam in the swimming pool, sunbathed, went to discos etc. Whatever we did, it was interesting.

We also visited the Alps and took in the fresh air. What I liked most about this trip were the cows, which I've never seen so close before.

We went to big cities twice: first to Salzburg and then to Munich. They are really beautiful. In Salzburg we visited Mozart's house, and in Munich — the German Museum, the section of space and air travel.

It was really important for me in Stein to talk to people from other countries. Because you don't often talk to young foreigners in Moscow, do you? They were from the USA, England, Wales, France, Spain, Venezuela, Hungary, Morocco, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania and so on. But Russians won — 18 of 96 were from our country. I really liked my journey; I met a lot of interesting and unforgettable people and probably became a little bit more daring1. I am sure that life in a foreign country makes people think in a different way. It makes them stronger and more understanding.
