F4022- Cindy
On July 21st. I arrived in the Philippines. It was dark because it is 1:00am in the Philippines. The air feels hot and humid. I went to the hotel by 1:30am and slept at 2:00am. I was so sleepy that night. Next day was my first day in CIA. It was very fast. I think it was because it’s my first day and I am nervous a little bit. Also. I cannot adjust to Filipino food because it’s salty. My mom went in supermarket for her activities. She bought mango. banana. milk. some snacks. pineapple. mangosten. papaya and coconut. Mango is very sweet and juicy. I like banana and pineapple too. But papaya is not good. it smells bad.
I joined CIA camp because my mom’s friends said that “CIA camp is good to study English”. and my family can come together. It would be my last time to travel to another country. because I have to go to middle school and I have to concentrate in my studies. So. I can go to a good high school. On my second day in CIA. I made my first friends. Rachel is my first friend and James. Gerald. Jonathan. Sally. Mike. Flora. Jessica and Alice became my fiends too. The Japanese students are also my fiends. They are Momo. Hina. Gaku. Sumire. Sakura. Akane. Yuhi and Miyano.
I like many activities here in CIA and I have many memorable experiences in CIA. First. Balloon making. It was very nice but I got scared about busting balloon because sometimes balloon bursts. Then. I took my balloon in my room to give it to my brother and I made a puppy and poodles. it was a very fun activity. Second. Plantation Bay was a great activity too. We have been there two times and it was great. I like Plantation Bay because inside there I can do many activities like kayak. wall climbing. horse riding. banana boat. snorkeling. water-sliding. archery and swimming. They have a very big swimming pool and diving area. Be careful in diving area!! It’s so deep and you might lose things in there. I lose my eye glasses there. I rode a banana boat with my friends. On our second time in Plantation Bay. parents are riding banana boat too. It’s cool but it’s not that fun because it was not fast.
I learned many things in CIA English camp. I learned speech the most. because it was the hardest thing to learn. It’s the hardest part because we always have to practice our speech. I learned English of course. I learned many things about English. I learned reading English. listening English. grammar discussion with English. vocabulary and sports. I learned many things in CIA camp; we have many different and fun activities. So. I want to join CIA camp again. to learn many things and join more activities.
