The May of this year presented the students of the 7a, b and c classes with a wonderful opportunity to improve our English and test it in the field. Even though the hope for a language course faded after the cancellation of the trip to Ireland, Prof. Steinmayr managed to find a way for us to get the experience at last, though rather than Ireland, we were to set out to Cambridge, England. Accompanied by Prof. Steinmayr, Prof. Hohenwarter and Prof. Kos, we set off on Saturday, 7th May. After the bus trip to Vienna, flying to London and then finally taking the bus to Cambridge, we finally reached our destination. Tired, though happy, we met our host families and went to sleep, contently waiting for the awaiting adventures. The first place to visit, of course, was London. Even though it was not the place of our stay, the capital could not have been left out of the journey. Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and the famous London Eye are only a few of the plenty places the students got to see and experience in the metropolis. The day included a lot of free time, allowing the students to seek out the places they desired to see the most. Having spent a whole day in the capital, the group returned to Cambridge. Every day of the remaining week started out in the same way: get up, eat breakfast with the host family and set out to school. The students were divided into four groups on the first day of classes which were then rotated between the four different teachers. During the lessons, we learned about the history and culture of Cambridge and the United Kingdom as a whole. It gave us a lot of opportunities to simply take part in conversations with native speakers as well who were happy with our levels of English for the most part. The afternoon programme, however, varied heavily from day to day and included a plethora of different activities for the students and teachers to enjoy. On Monday, the group took the train to Ely right after school. After a short walk, the astonishing cathedral presented itself to us, towering over all the town’s other structures. Tuesday was the time to visit the Museum of Earth Sciences. The next two days were spent with a photo challenge, where the students had to take pictures of famous and important locations all around Cambridge, and with punting on the famous river Cam. The remaining time was mostly used for sightseeing and seeking out the well-known colleges. The journey ended with a voluntary walk to Grantchester and finally, on Saturday, the students and teachers returned to Graz, having spent a wonderful week in one of the most famous places in all of England.
