Dear friend, Imagine waking up one day in a country that you`ve never been to and know no one there. It is an incredible experience, and something that people will remember forever. Before visiting the country we have some stereotypes about the life there, which are broken after the trip. And England isn`t an exception. People think that the British are hard-hearted and unsociable. But they aren`t. The Russians are always welcome in England. If you ever visit it, there will always be a little part of your heart. I am very interested in British culture, history and people. So, my visit provided me with a good opportunity to compare what I already know about England with the real life. I am grateful to fate, to my parents and teachers, that in July in 2009, I went to England. This was preceded by years of hard English lessons, a successful passing of international exams of different levels, exhausting trip to Moscow for processing the documents. But at last a group of like-minded people and I are in England ... It was amazing and immediately struck me. The first days were introductory, and then I could navigate in Guildford, in the city, where we lived. But let me start from the very beginning. When we arrived, we went to our families. I was inexpressibly glad to meet these people. It was my first experience of communicating with the British. I expected them to be rather cold, full of traditions, but it turned out that they are very kind-hearted and hospitable. Within 2 weeks I lived with the owners of the house (Cranstone; husband and wife) and 2 girls - from Spain (Anna) andTurkey (Oykyu). The first day I was very tired and, unfortunately, was not capable to do something. But the very next day we went on a trip to London. Arriving there, I was absorbed with the emotions! It was amazing: we were riding on the biggest Ferris wheel, and then went to the Madame Tussads` Museum that I wanted to visit. There I had the opportunity to be photographed with wax figures of celebrities and to go to the room of fear ... it was terrifying, my heart took in heels! It was very scary, but I endured, and then just laughed at the idea of the room. The museum had many interesting things to see. The next day I went to school for the first time. I had the opportunity to see the conditions in which teenagers learn English. Children at my school were from lots of different cultures, but that didn`t stop us being friends. At first I could not remember the way to school, but I my neighbor, living for 2 weeks in Guildford, helped me. It turned out that I lived near the center of our town. On Wednesday, we had another tour - to Oxford. I had a lot of emotions from it. It was just incredibly exciting to look at the famous University of Oxford, which I much heard about! Upon arrival in England it was hard to get used to the language and how to communicate it. I took a very visible difference between the Russian, speaking English and the British. But after the first few trips I used to and learnt a lot. And of course it was great to visit the famous hall, where the action of world famous movie about Harry Potter has taken place. It was just incredibly exciting to feel like the heroine of this film. My dream was realized! Except trips to other cities I was walking with my friends along the streets of the city every day after classes. They were totally different from our Russian ones. For example, the main street, often called, High Street, was lined with stone, everywhere one could see windows of various shops. It is worth noting that the local bakery was very good, clothes were much cheaper than in Russia, but the food, by contrast, was very expensive.

1 To be a good citizen anywhere you have to be a good person. That means showing respect, having a good attitude or just helping out. In the classroom, you have to show responsibility by doing your homework on time, or listening and following directions. Also, you have to help out your other classmates. Another example is in your community. Don’t just throw your trash in the street, find a trash can and use it. Make sure you are not bothering anybody while messing around or playing at the park. At home, you should always do your chores and listen to your parents. Don’t just think that if you are at home, you can break the rules, because the same rules should apply everywhere. Chad Lagana Grade 6
2 I think something I can do to be a good citizen is help an elderly person when I see one crossing the street. Another thing I could do to be a good citizen is helping out at a veteran’s home. I can cheer them up and keep their spirits high as if they were young again. I can also help in a classroom. If my teacher asks me to go run a quick errand, I would do it for her or maybe give a message to another teacher. I could help clean up supplies and help clean up the classroom after school. At home, I could be a good citizen by helping my mom around the house. If my mom is trying to lift something heavy, I could give her a helping hand. Also if my dad has been working all day with yard work, I could help him and get the job done much faster. I feel that these are a couple ways to be a good citizen and help people. Sierra B. Grade 6 3 A good citizen is some who respects others and their property. He/she is helpful and considerate, willing to put others first. He/she listens to the views of others and thinks about what they have to say. He/she helps people who are not in a position to help themselves. He/she respects the environment and does not damage it in anyway. He/she works hard. He/she is well mannered and pleasant. He/she is always willing to learn
