My last summer

Hi! My name is Claudia and I'm 13. Today I'll talk about my last summer holidays. First I'm going to talk about L'Arcada, second about Pals, third about Carcassonne, fourth about Platja d'Aro and This is us.

L'ARCADA, AN ENGLISH CAMP
 On 23rd July, I went to L'Arcada's English camp. I learnt a lot of English because all the instructors were from USA and also there were some boys and girls from there. Everyday we woke up very early, then we had breakfast and after that in groups we did different activities depending on the day. There were different activities like: Archery, climbing, basketball, cycling... When we finished the activities, we had lunch and in the afternoon we did English class. Then, we went to the swimming pool if it was hot. After that we had dinner and we did some night activities. This camp lasted for one week from 23rd to 29th July. It was an unforgettable experience!

PALS
On 6th August, I went to an apartment in Pals with my uncle and my cousin Montse. There were more people but I didn't meet them. In the mornings we went to the beach and then we had lunch. After lunch we went to the swimming pool for one hour. Then we had dinner, sometimes in a restaurant. In the evenings we went to the forest with walkie-talkies. It was fantastic!

CARCASSONNE
On 26th August, I went four days to Carcassonne, France. I went with my parents, my brother and my cousin. In the mornings we went to visit the castle. Then we had lunch and we went again to the castle to visit all the mediaeval side. And in the evenings we went to visit all the town. One day, we went to Lac de la Cavayère, is an artificial lake near Carcassonne. It was a wonderful trip!

PLATJA D'ARO
 On 29th August, my mother and I went to Platja d'Aro, to Xènia's apartment. Everyday, we went to the beach and in the afternoon we went to the shops and for a walk in the streets. One day, we went with Maria Port, Maria Serra, Xènia Tubert, Clàudia Guilana and her friends, to see "This is us",
a film from ONE DIRECTION. The best film ever!
