The tension mounts

With just ten days to go until the grand départ some of the pupils have been putting their thoughts to paper - or rather to keyboard. Blair, who is going on the trip, sums up the two main points of the trip: fun and tiredness:

I think that the trip to France will be happy, but also very tiring! My favourite day will be the theme park (Park Asterix). Every day of the holidays, I hope that I will speak some French.

Je pense que le voyage en France sera très heureux mais très fatigant aussi ! Mon jour préféré sera le parc d’attractions (Parc Astérix). Chaque jour pendant les vacances, j’espère que je parlerai le français.

If you are going on the trip and have thoughts, or if you have a particular question about the emotions running at the moment, add them here as a comment.

Yes, I think I will enjoy the trip. The best part will probably be Park Astrix. I will probably let Mr McIntosh speak most of the French. I will say a little bit. I don't think that I'll get homesick.

Je pense que le voyage en France sera tres longe et mais tres heureaux.

Let Mr McIntosh speak most of the French for you? Are you kidding? William, you're going to be doing all the speaking for me!

Je suis sûre que vous vous amuserez bien en France. J'ai déjà visité cette région, et c'est très intéressant!

Je ne suis pas nerveux parce que j'adore manger. J'ai deja essaye le toast melba et les escargots. Je voudrais essayer la nourriture locale, et les jambes de grenouille.

I am not nervous because I love to eat. I've tried snails and French toast. I'd like to try the local cuisine, especially frogs' legs.

The last couple of posts have been by pupils from 2M, whose preparation on the monuments they are going to see can be seen on the main mgsOnline website:
