THE ACADEMY by Ángela Valhondo

The academy is in Strand Road, in the harbor of Bray. It is very big, it has a café where you can eat and prepare a café, there are two vending machines with chips, sweets and fizzy drinks like Coca-Cola, Fanta… the machines are in the corridor near the stairs.

The classrooms are big and light, but it’s a bit cold. In the day we have three classes and two breaks. We have the first class with one of the teachers and a break of twenty minutes, after the break we have another class with another teacher and another break of ten minutes. And finally we have another class with the same teacher.

The teachers are very nice, they teach us a lot about the culture and the traditions of Ireland. In class we talk about the differences about the Irish food and the Spanish food.

For me the classes are very good, I think it’s good that we can’t speak Spanish because I think we learn more English and we practise the language, and we improve the pronunciation.
