I have spent lots of good times in England and of course in Brighton, in the pubs, the nightclubs, and famous places like Brighton Pier and Churchill Square and also Western Road.
But I think if I was the only French person here, I would be better in English than now. But I have improved my English a lot and the thing that I prefer is to talk with English people I met in pubs or clubs.
I think this term we had too much homework, with the English Project (questionnaire, research, writing, powerpoint...) , with the English course, and homework for France ( study of an Company in France).
Some weeks in this term I felt that I wasted my time working on hard projects and that took a lot of time, I preferred to meet and speak with English students or foreign student to discover and learn about their culture.
But anyway I really enjoy my stay here, I visited London, Oxford...
That was a very very good experience for me and I will made a travel like that in a couple of years to continue my studies.
I enjoyed this course but today I am a little bit disapointed because of my report...

!!,,,,,,,,,,,BRIGHTON,,,,,,,,,,,!!
Hello0o0o0o0o,,,,How are you every body? We are now at the end of term and I'd like to talk about Brighton and what I've learnt and everything. I've learnt a lot of vocabulary and now I feel my English is better than before. I ate in a lot of restaurants like Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Italian and Indian. I've been to the Marina many times. It's really a very very nice place. Sometimes I go to the Royal Pavilion park I like it very much. I don't usually go to Churchill SQUARE. I often go to sea front to walk when the weather is ok.
My experience in Brighton
The time I am spending in Brighton is great, and in my opinion the University is great. The English system is very good, as a result we can improve our English a lot.
Also, Brighton is a place where we can always go out at the weekends, there are a lot of clubs. Generally, at the weekends I go out in Brighton in clubs and sometimes in pubs.
I also like Brighton because there are a lot af restaurants. I have eaten in Mexican, Italian and Chinese restaurants.
I also spend a lot of time in London as my boyfriend lives in London. So we can see each other at least once a week.
My experience in Brighton has not finished because i`m going to come back after the holidays for two more months, and after in June I am going to do some work experience. I`m really happy because I`ve found it in Brighton. And I look forward to being by the beach this summer, and all the clubs along the beach.

Final thoughts
I have been in england for 3 months
Nowadays I think my behavior wasn't correct in class during the first month. Then I try to change my behavior. I know my level in english when I'm alone because two years ago I was in the USA alone and I improved my english but here I'm not the same felling.
First of all may be because we have left here with my class and I knew, I could speak french, I don't know.
Then because to make a class with seven french students was very ridiculous, we are alone here , we know nobody unless our friends, it's difficult for us I think to go in a foreign country three months for the first time and also because in our class in France there is a hugh solidarity and we are together since 27 of September and also because i wasn't very happy to go in England...
It was also a great experience because I have learnt a lot of thing about |English culture , I have lived in a host family who is great I talk about them. I visited my city (Lewes) , I visited Brighton , streets , The Royal pavilion , I have learnt a lot about history of Brighton and it's very interesting but i had ever been in Brighton.
I visited also London and Oxford.
I think also I make a progress in listening because in my host family, every suppers I understand what the family said and it's not very easy to understand and also because I talk a lot with a girl and with the father(Robin).I improve my english also with our project because i wanted to have a good mark.
I think I felt so bad because in september I left house and It was the same in December.
However I'm happy because my first experience in England was horrible and now I like England.
The culture here and in France is very different but I like this way of life.
I hope if I come here again my experience will be better!

__________________________________
When I arrived 10 weeks ago, I never imagined the English way of life like this.
I lived in a house on the campus with 4 other students. There were two Chinese students, one American and one English student.
That is the reason why I discovered Chinese culture, food, habits and customs.
I really enjoy spending time with Chinese people that's why one day, the girl cooked me some dog... At the beginning, I was so surprised, but actually it tastes like chicken...
About the English course in the University, I think it would have been better if I was without French students in my class and I could improve my English better.
Moreover, I visited London and really enjoyed discovering this pretty city, which has lots of different places, areas... such as Nothing hill, Camden, China town...
I went back to France in the middle of the course to play a Handball match with my French team despite this, my family and my friend missed me, but I tried to take advantage of the city of Brighton, which is very attractive, the English way of life, ...
I hope to come back to England very soon, and still have more experiences here, enjoy the city of London, the seafront of Brighton, and the summer weather (will it get better??)

My life in Brighton
At the beginning, it was very difficult for me, in different ways, to adapt myself in this town. The weather was bad, my family and friends missed me.
Little by little my life in Brighton became more and more exciting. During my course I learnt a lot of things like vocabulary, I met people especially people who come from foreign countries and it was very fun to speak with them. The only bad point is that in Brighton there are many French people like in London and it was difficult to talk only in English. However this town is beautiful, I visited the Royal pavillion and brighton pier, I went shopping...
Now I like Brighton but I love London and I am very happy to be in this town because there is the sea and also I am just at 50 minutes from London by train. This three months was for me an excellent experience, now I think I am capable of travelling around the world for a long period.

My experience in Brighton
First of all, I have spent three months in Brighton and I will have good memories of this town.
With my friends, we went to Brighton Pier we saw a lot of shops, a lot of pubs and also a lot of nightclubs. So,we know Brighton well to go out every weekend.
When my parents came here, we discovered traditional Fish and Chips and I am angry because in my town in France we don't have Fish and Chips!!!!!!
One night, we went to Digital and we saw David Guetta it was a really good night.
Also, we went to London several times, and in my opinion it's nicer than Paris.
After, I ate in a French restaurant and I was happy to eat French food.
Now that my experience in Brighton has finished and I can say that I have really improved my English and I have learnt to live with another family, but for me, my host family have helped me to speak more English. But, I know that my English is not perfect and I must still work at it. The course at the University was brilliant and if I could I would like to start it again.

Brighton trip
My trip in brighton was really good because I learnt
a lot. I discovered a way of life different from my country
and I also found that the temperament was not the same
in England than in France.
During this trip, I knew some periods of discouragement
because I missed my family, but I feel that I improved
my English skills.
I had not regrets concerning this term. It was a very good
experience.
I loved the way whose people were dressed and the fact
that everybody felt indifferent about it. It was really funny !
I enjoyed the town and I had the impression that I know
the town centre on the fingertips.
I had not take a bath on the sea because of the weather
but I was a little surprised to see stones on the place of sand !
It could be unpleasant even in Summer...
I have not tasted the famous "Fish and chips" yet but I will soon.
I went to London three times. I enjoyed this town because
she was huge and really nice. And it is not impossible that I returne
to London before to go back to France. In my view it is more beautiful
than Paris because it is less "grey".
Brighton Pier was a good place too, entertaining even if there were
not lot of attractions to do.
The only negative point I can quote is that I am fed up to
take the red bus to go to the town or to go shopping.
Besides, do the shopping to eat the week was really borring
because my friends and me often were not agree concerning
food. So almost everyday, we ate pasta, rice and smashed potatos,
among other things...
I spent good time with my friends in this town and, despite I really
want bring up to France, I am feel a little sad to leave Brighton...
And before to go back, I have again some things that I would like to do.

My enxperience in Brighton
I have been here for nearly 3 months and I think this experience has taught me a lot even if everyday wasn't really nice.
First of all I lived with a host family, so it's dificult to really relax. I lived far away of the campus, it took more than 1 hour to go to the university so I had to wake up very early in the morning.
On the other hand, my family was nice.
I think I improved my english during this term but if I was alone (without French people) in my class I would progress more.
About Brighton, I think it's a great city with lots of things to do but I spent all my weekends in Oxford (because the other part of our class is there) so I didn't really discover Brighton, maybe I know Oxford better than Brighton ^^
I was very pleased to discover a new culture and a new way of life even if I thought of France sometimes.
I never ate fish and chips certainly because I hate fish but I went to famous restaurants such as the Bills and Wokmania. I didn't go to lots of clubs but tonight we are going to celebrate the end of our English project (with Ray)-.
I visited a little bit of London it is a lovely city I was glad to discover it.
The weather in England is horrible even if it could be worse...
I think Brighton is a very nice place during the summer...
I have to spend 12 more days in Brighton and I hope they will be the best ...

New rules
While observing life at university here, it's difficult to create a new
set of rules.
set of rules.
- The emergency door can be used to access the classroom; sometimes you use time to go around the block.
- An Italian food kiosk must be built in the central part of the campus

- The people are allowed to walk and go to the lessons with their dog
- The hawks should be introduced to hunt some gulls and crows
- Buses and trains ought to be free to go to Brighton from the campus
University's new rules !
I remarked that the life on the campus was really boring and that they have no imagination.
According to the students, courses are not fun and it is difficult to concentrate on them.
That's why I decide to change the rules in the university !
According to the students, courses are not fun and it is difficult to concentrate on them.
That's why I decide to change the rules in the university !
- First of all, students are now allowed to come to the course at the time they want.

Secondly, they can have their breakfast in class because it will be served every morning. - Then, students must do their homework on the class walls so they don't forget them the next morning.
- From now, the students ought to revise their course with a friend because they are allowed to do the English tests in pairs.
- After the course, students are not allowed to go home, they have to come to the meeting house to find out about the night social programme. They shouldn't stay at home more than twice a week or they will become depressed.
- They also should propose some ideas to organize parties on the campus, and to meet other people.

the lottery
If I won the lottery, I would like to to have a company maybe in England. However, I'll have to speak English very well, so maybe I'll make others trips like to Australia or Ireland to improve my English.
Then, I'd also help my family by buying a camping car for my parents because they want one.
Also, I would like to have a house in Spain as my sister lives in Spain and together we will buy a holiday house in Ibiza!!!
Moreover, I would buy a black Audi A3 because I love this car, and for my boyfriend I would get a mercedes.
As I love to go to shopping, I would go to London and buy all the clothes that I want !
However, I think it's important to save money to help my children in the future...

Lottery dreams
What would I do?!
It depends on the quantity of the money that I won with the lottery.
However I would like to continue the studies that I am doing now.
I could spend this money on buying new instruments for my research.
I would also spend money on building a new house with a big recording room and
a grand piano.
I could install a wind turbine to produce money with clean energy
and with the gains I would help my friends with their dreams.
Of course I could travel but I think only for studying...may be...I don't like
travelling without an aim.

Of course I could travel but I think only for studying...may be...I don't like
travelling without an aim.
...If I was the lottery Winner...
...If I won the lottery, I would save my money on a bank and buy some safe shares for invest in.
After that I’ll give a part of this money to my close family (father, mother, sister), 10% for each of them.
After that I would buy an apartment in Paris and other properties for increase my inheritance for my future child, my wife and my close family if they need it.
After spending long holidays I would almost certainly be a property developer to increase my inheritance.
More of than I would probably live in a country where there is low taxes on properties and inheritance.
I’d probably spend a total of 80% of my winnings and I’d keep 20% in an secure bank where the money would stay untouched for 10 years.
For my personal pleasure I would buy sports cars and a boat and villas by the seaside, but I wouldn't use my lottery money, just use the interest of my savings and the rent from my properties. In this way that I would not lose any money, and I would probably be a millionnaire for ever !
One other thing is the problem of women. I definitely wouldn’t want a wife who loves me for my money. So at the beginning I would almost certainly hide my fortune from her and if she really loves me and me too, I’d marry her. This is important because money can offer you happiness but there are certain things you cannot buy like friendship and love.
Money can make you addicted and dependant to on it, so I think it is dangerous.
...If I won the lottery, I would definitely be careful...Jackpot dreams
If I won the lottery, I wouldn't like to be a famous person, I think that I would prefer to keep my life like before. I could do a lot of things but it depends on the quantity of money that I won. Maybe, I would buy a very beautiful house in Australia for my parents because they love this country. If I won the lottery, I could travel around the world in order to discover new cultures and landscapes.
I would like to buy a lot of nice clothes and jewels which are very expensive, and I know that my boyfriend wants to have a beautiful car so, I might buy him the car of his dreams.
I could also give money to the developing countries and to some associations such as Greenpeace or aid workers.
I would like to organise a big party with all my friends and if it's possible I may help them if they want something.To finish, I would like to put the rest of my jackpot winnings in a bank for the future if I need something.

If I was millionaire...
If I won the jackpot in the national lottery and I won £15.9 million, for instance, I would like to build a huge house with a big garden, a swimming pool, and lots of new technologies inside.
Secondly, I would like to travel around the world, and more particularly to
visit Thailand, China, Peru, Cuba and Australia. And why not, like Gokhan,
buy an island !
Next I would create my own company but I do not know in which sector.
And most importantly, I would like my family to be happy because I love them...
I think we could do incredible and amazing things if we won in the lottery, and maybe one day, we will be lucky !
If i won the lottery..... ; )
Heloo,,,,today I am going to speak about if I won the lottery. If I won the lottery, I'd like to do a lot of things. First of all, I'd like to give some money to my parents and my brothers and sisters. Then I'd like to have my own business like companies. Secondly, if I travelled around the world, I'd like to see all the museums and archaeological sites around the world. Finally, I'd like to buy all kinds of cars. and a big house in Los Angeles. I'd like to help poor people like in Africa and other countries too.
___IF I WON THE LOTTERY...
____________________________________________________________________
What would I do?
...A lot of things!
But one in particular.
Since my childhood, my biggest dream has always been the same.
I'd like to travel around the world with the aim of helping developing countries. But my dream could only be fulfilled if I won the lottery.
Then I'd like to tell you what I'd like to do in this case.
First of all I'd buy a private plane in which I could travel. Of course I'd employ a pilot!
Secondly I'd meet some people during my trips who would explain to me what they need to have a better life.
Then I'd been concerned about other cultures and I'd try to learn some new languages, even just a few words.
Finally I'd give some money to build new schools, to pay teatchers, to build new hospitals and pay the employees, to build new roads, new shops, to import some food...
To conclude, I think it's not too bad to work and earn our own money, every day, every month.
But two studies have arrived at very different conclusions.
Some people think that money make happiness, some people think the contrary...

millionaire
If I won the lottery, I'd buy a car. For example a Rolls Royce, an Aston Martin, and a Ferrari. I'd like to customise every car. I'd buy big wheels and some monitors. Of course it is lower than the normal car. If I drove the car, I'd be popular and stand out with the girls.
And I'd like my parents to travel. My parents work everyday except Sunday. And they are old. So if they don't travel now, they'll not be able to do it.
And I'd like my parents to travel. My parents work everyday except Sunday. And they are old. So if they don't travel now, they'll not be able to do it.
If I won the lottery ........ oh it would be fanstatic !!!!!
If I won the lottery, firstly I would like to travel around the world in order to see a lot of beautiful things like landscapes or famous monuments (palaces ... ). I wouldn't do this for a year I would like to travel every year during my holidays , I might go with my family.
Then I would buy a new car, maybe a blue or red mini.
Then I would buy a new car, maybe a blue or red mini.If one day I had a lot of money I might invest a part of this in developing houses because I think it's the best investment nowadays.
If I won the lottery, I would like to help some people in the world especially children, I could help to build hospitals for example. I would like to build a big animal reserve in order to protect them.If one day I had the luck to win the lottery, I would do all of the above, but I would continue my studies because I think that money even if it's very important in life, can't provide everything.
If I won the lottery
I would travel around the world..... What would you do? Try and write 100 words about your dreams and wishes!!

I'd like to talk about pollution. Pollution is such a big problem for all the world, especially nowadays. There are a lot of reasons for this problem. The main problem is finding solutions. This problem has been increasing since the industrial revolution because too many factories were built after the industrial revolution and new ones are still being built. Also people use many things that contaminate and damage the environment. Everybody needs these things because our life styles are always changing. So we our lives are much more modern because of these inventions. But people don't think about this problem. If you want everything to be good for your children, you have to do something about this pollution and you have to have solutions. For example; people are always inventing things that change our lives and also damage the environment, but people don't have solutions. Inventions are much more than solutions. Because people do things unconsciously. You don't have to do many things, but if everyone does something to help, it would be better. For example you can help about using fewer cars , travelling by plane, recycling...etc
We have the same problems in my country. People and also the government are more conscious now, but that's not enough. For example; there are a lot of recyling boxes in my city but nobody uses them, even the refuse collectors. Also there are not enough regulations in factories. Anyway we need sollutions and I think the most important solutions are legal principles, more controls and education.
Car pollution
Now everybody knows that a big part of Global Warming is from the CO2 rejected by cars.It's a serious problem because there are more and more cars, and it is a catastrophe for the environment in developing countries. There are other technologies, like the electric car or hybrid cars. But unfortunatel it is rare to see CO2 free cars.
The solution for reducing vehicle emmissions is to offer every company and people free car taxes if they buy a clean-car.
And for Police, Firebrigade, Hospital and for every bus, there should be a subvention to buy electric vehicles, and after a couple of years they would be obliged to buy it.
I think the state needs to collect taxes on petrol, and reduce the price of hybrid cars and electric cars.
I think the hybrid car is the future, and after every car will work with solar energy... I think.
# By Arthurpollution in paris
Each day on the radio you can hear what the level of pollution is like and sometimes the level increases.
I think that the main reasons are cars , buses , scooters and any kind of engine with a motor. In theoutskirts of Paris you can see a cloud of pollution. You don't see it everyday but often.
I also think that if the people continue to use too many engines with motors then one day you might become sick.
When you hear the level every morning you are afraid because it the highest level in France.
What is the solution?
it's very difficult to find a solution because everybody uses cars and one day a year there is a day without cars so people take buses.
Generally buses use biofuel because it's better for the population in Paris and so the pollution is reduced.
Pollution is responsible for global warming and also produces the greenhouse effect.
I think that in order to reduce pollution, people in Paris should change their cars or just fuel.
Why?
First of all because there are some different fuels like vegetable oil or bioethanol and to reduce pollution it's better to use this kind of fuel.
Then if the government imporves France's economy farmer will have more work.
It's important to know that if the population doesn't reduce its fuel comsumption global warming will get worse.
Saudi Arabia
hello. Today I am going to speak about global warming in my country. First of all, pollution is hihg in the capital city Riyadh because there are more than 5 million people living there. Imagine how many cars, buses, trucks there are. It makes the air dirty and we can't stop people driving.
The big problem is people don't walk because the weather is too hot and my city is very big. It's difficult to go from one place to another by foot. Maybe if the government enocurages us to use trains it will help. Secondly some people dump their bins on the streets. They aren't sensible and they don't konw what it's going to be like in the future. Finally the government is enforcing some laws for this situation.
The consequences about human activities
In the lastfew years, Planet Earth has changed a lot because of human activities.
In order to produce more and grow richer, our planet is being sacrified by countries and population.
~ More and more forests are being damaged to produce paper and furniture. The problem is that we need forests because trees emit oxygen in the air and moreover, there are lot of animals which live in this environment.
~ In addition, cars pollute and companies produce fumes which are
harmful for us and the environment. There is to much pollution emitted by companies and cars everyday...~ Next, people throw a lot of rubbish on the street or in the sea.
So the consequences of the human indifference towards Planet Earth are the global warming and all things which follow.
Because of the pollution, there is a hole in the ozone layer. This hole allows the sunrays to pass through the ozone layer ; that's why there is global warming and also the greenhouse effect.
Perhaps the next generations will understand these ecological disasters.
The catastrophes can be tornadoes, hurricanes, extreme weather, a rising sea level or again what is most likely : lot of floods.That's why we must take care of our environment for everybody's health, for the future generations and to save animal species.
I think it is not difficult to make an effort. So do it...
the cars and the pollution, can we solved this big problem ????
In our countries the biggest problem reagarding pollution is the car !!! In rich countries there is a lot of traffic, people have to take their cars or take the bus in order to go to work, to the supermarket ....more convenient for you.
A car for example, emits a lot of gas into the air and these chemicals and other substances have a harmful effect on air, water or land.
Then a car needs petrol or diesel, but nowadays fuel is in danger because it will disappear because people use too much petrol !!
Then a car needs petrol or diesel, but nowadays fuel is in danger because it will disappear because people use too much petrol !!
In our countries like France some companies especially car companies like Peugeot, Renault and other brands are working on a new concept about car which use water or air .I think it's a very good idea even if nowadays there isn't water for all the people in the world but if in the future we can use a car without pollution it will be fantastic !!!
But I think that the government is not ready to accept these concepts because with petrol they get a lot money through taxes . If one day all cars use air the government couldn't have the control !!! In my opinion because of this the government in France won't allow people to use biofuel.
Global warming
The weather is changing in Japan. It is extreme now.
The coldest temperature is -17 degrees centigrade this winter in my city. The highest is about 35 degrees centigrade last summer.
And it didn't rain much last summer. So there was a shortage of water. Sometimes we have typhoons in summer - heavy rain and wind. But we din't have many. Some people had restricted water use.
When I travel to another city, I use a car everytime in Japan.
I've come to England, I think about environment. We must think more about the Earth. Because we live on the Earth.

Global Warming
I'm going to speak about global warming, and I'd like to introduce to you several wildlife species affected by the pollution of environment.
For several years certain animal and floral species have stared to disappear in the world.
Nowadays, they are hundreds and thousands of fish, insects, trees, plants, birds, bacterias, mammals, which are disappearing because of global warming.
Indeed, it is not just the human race which is suffering from the pollution around the world, animal and vegetation species are also affected by the dryness, the extreme climate, floods, freezing rains, the hole in the ozone layer, dangerous sunlight, too much UV, deforestation, desertification, ... etc...
So little by little, certain races are completely killed and have disappeared forever.
For example, polar bears need icebergs to live.
However, icebergs tend to melt because of global warming.
Consequently, polar bears are disappearing slowly...
We have to pay attention to this ecological problem, even if it costs a lot of money, because if you do nothing to avoid pollution, animals, vegetation and the human race will completly disappear.
What a shame if the human race will killed by itself!
the greenhouse effect
Before the development of our countries the world was better and today we are suffering the consequences of this development. We thought that inventing new factories, new nuclear arms, new ways to develop was the most important thing to do but now we know that there are more important things to do such as save our planet !
explanation of the greenhouse effect :
Around our planet there is the ozone layer in the atmosphere which is becoming smaller.
Humans pollute the planet a lot, and so we can speak about global warming.
The hole in the ozone layer doesn't allow us to keep the UVA out and so the temperature increases each year.
Consequences :
The icebergs are melting because the temperatures is getting hotter.
So the sea-level is rising and there are lots of risks of floods, tornadoes...
Then lots of species of animals are disappearing (certainly because there is too much UVA).
The problem of deforestation, desertification and water shortage is a terrible event
Humans are suffering more from cancers than before because they receive too much UVA.
Solutions :
Usually, lots of people speak about global warming but nobody is really doing anything to save our planet and our descendants.
First of all, I think about ways of prevention and reducing the greenhouse effect.
We have to educate children at school to recycle their rubbish .
I think create a law to limit the consumption of water and electricity per person is a good solution.
There are too much cars in our country and the system of buses is not really developed beause people prefer to take their cars. So if there are more buses maybe people will take this communal transport.
The simplest thing to do is not to dump our rubbish anywhere.
So I can't save the world alone but if everybody is careful and tries to help our planet (with recycling for example) I think the "health" of our earth will be better.
Global warming
Yesterday we talked about global warming. Choose one of the topics which you talked about in your group to write about. What can we do about this situation? What is happening in your country?Thursday, 7 February 2008
The "Printemps de Bourges" festival
The "Printemps de Bourges" is a music festival which takes place every year during the April holidays. It was created by three men who had a strong link with music in 1977.The main characteristic of this festival is that there are only a few well known musicians who come because the principle is to discover new talent.
- On the day, there are 3 or 4 open air stages where bands perform for free and the music played on these stages is often quite varied.
- At night, locals bars host music groups to play and everybody goes out and thousands of peoples walk from bar to bar until the next morning to see them.
There are already concert tickets on sale. This year, the will festival host numerous artists such as Rose, Renan Luce, Sefyu, Justice...
For more information, you can visit the official web site of the festival :
