The exchange: Escuela 2 - College de Grazailles.
9 of march, we did an exchange with a school of Carcassone. The students of France, went to Valencia for the exchange, and ech one student of the class had a correspondant, that he or she slept in house of each one.
my correspondant is called Valentin, he has 14 years old, and he is simpatic, friendly, funny, helpufull, etc. and a little bit crazyy! no, it's a joke :P
They stay for a week, and was fantastic!
We went to the "Oceanografic", to "L'exposició del ninot", to "la Albufera", and Valencia, and two days stay at the school doing activities.
The exchanges are very good, because you meet people, the costumes, the food, the country, etc. more things... I think, to speak in a lenguage that you study is very good, you practice the oral, and know the accent and the pronunciation.
And the 18 of april, we go to Casrcassone to the house of their correspomdant, and, if when the french went to Spain was fantastic, when we go to France it will be perfect!!
