Read the text. An unforgettable experience!
This summer, the first time in my life I traveled independently. My parents awarded the trip to me because I finished the ninth year at school with excellent marks. I was in Lija in Malta. Knight duels and myths attract tourists but I studied English and had a rest at the language camp NSTS.
To tell you the truth, I had some big and small stressful situations during the trip such as flying alone to the unknown country, going on an independent walk along the narrow streets of Valletta- the capital of Malta. Then sharing a room and staying in the campus. Moreover, people who lived with me had different lifestyles and vision of life. But the biggest stress was with the language. I have studied English since I was six. I was the finalist of some minor language competitions.
However, at the airport I realized that I could not understand what the Maltese were speaking about. I was at the point of no return, I thought I was up the whole with the language.
On my first day there it seemed to me that I was left alone in the whole world. There was a rule at the camp: "Do not speak your native language, just English". I tried to follow it. My parents supported me and said that was a temporary problem, advised me to look at the sunny side of things and soon everything would be fine.
