Off to Swinging London
Today was our second day here in Oxford. We left the families' houses in themorning and started our trip to London. I’d never been to this city before, soI was exited.
We arrived after two hours and the weather was great. At first we visited the“0-Meridian” in Greenwich and each of us took photos there. At noon westarted the boat trip on the river Thames. We could see lots of sights and Ithink it was nice.
After the boat trip we walked through the city all together in one big group.We passed lots of sights such as Big Ben and Westminster Abbey.
At last we saw Buckingham Palace. The flag was on the roof, so we knewthat the Queen was there.
In the afternoon we could walk through London on our own. But we had toform groups of at least three people. We walked to Oxford Street to goshopping and to have something nice to eat. Our meeting point in theevening was Cleopatra’s Needle at the river and we had to be there at aquarter to six. So we bought some tickets and took the Underground. Wepassed three stations and I was really happy that we chose the right line. Atthe end of the day I was very tired. But it was a great day and I thinkLondon is a nice city. But a little bit too crowded. And after such a longday in a busy place like London I was glad to get back to the cosy town ofOxford.

A First Day in Oxford
After the first night at our host families we met at 8 o‘clock and went to
Oxford city.
First, we visited Christ Church College. There’s also a very nice, huge
Cathedral in it. I really enjoyed that there were so many connections with
“Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” in the cathedral and Dining Hall.
“Alice’s” author, Lewis Carroll was a mathematics tutor at Christ Church.
After that we had some free time to walk around Oxford city on our own.
In the afternoon we visited Pitt River’s museum where we learned much about
history, animals and nature. Unlike many other museums it was really
interesting for me.
Before we went back to Headington we had another two hours to go on our own.
Many girls spent their time at PRIMARK which is a huge shop with many
cheap clothes, shoes, bags and much jewellery.

Meeting Shakespeare – Seeing Stratford – Exploring WarwickCastle
Today we went to the house of Anne Heathaway, William Shakespeare’s wife.
The journey to the big, old cottage took 1 ½ hours. There we went inside thecottage in small groups to look, how Anne Heathaway lived. After that we went inthe beautiful garden
with lots of apple trees. On the grass stood a little house, made of willows, withdifferent audio-tasks inside. Mr. Olberding started a competition: He’ll buy anOxford t-shirt for those, who will write one of the sonnets without any mistakes.While 6 people tried to win the competition, the others went to different sculpturesand to a maze.
At lunch time we went to the city of Stratford to see where Shakespeare was born.From there we could walk again in little groups to visit the city and to eatsomething.
After that we drove to “Warwick Castle”, the house of Henry II.. There were a lot ofrooms with the old furniture and wax figures from Mme Tussauds. There was alsoa little show where the castle team showed us how the knights fired deadly shots atthe castle.
In the evening we drove home with lots of new impressions and knowledge and
it was a really great day- like all the days before!
Jenny
William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Today was our last day in Oxford.We met at the meeting point at 8.30.We went to the BMW mini company by bus. 25 people of us visited thefactory and saw how the cars are produce.The others went into the city by bus and made a city quiz. I took part
in the quiz.It was very interesting, because we saw a lot of new places, met nice
people and got to know Oxford better.Some question like the question :” When was Oxford college founded?”
were difficult, because everybody said something different. But sometasks like: “Ask somebody to sing the national anthem” were reallygood.At lunchtime we had a little break and could buy something to eat or goshopping.In the early afternoon we formed 3 groups and visited the oxford
museum to get to know the Oxford history.Then we went with the groups to the Malmaison hotel, which was aprison for criminals who did really bad things. You can still see, that itwas a prison, but it is also a nice hotel.After that we could go shopping and enjoyed our last hours at Oxford.

Cars, A City Quiz And Beautiful Old Oxford AgainVisiting the BMW-Mini Plant in Oxford
Marie S. reports
During our trip to Oxford I became a little bit nervous. I didn't know if the family wouldbe OK and I was really afraid that they would be somehow strange or unfriendly. Butwhen we finally arrived and I got to know 'Mrs Mathieus' I realized that my worries hadbeen absolutely senseless though it was very different from the relationship you havewith a host family when you do an exchange, for example. The people here are nice andpolite but you don't have so much to do with them. It's more like staying in a small hotel.
At the beginning of the week we visited the city of Oxford and had a guided tour at first.It is very interesting but also very nice and great for shopping. And the British people arecooperative and kind which I also noticed when we needed help for our city quiz or whenwe wanted to buy tickets for the Underground in London. However, London is greatanyway. There are so many sights you can visit and there are so many different peoplein the streets and though it is a huge city it is still very pretty and has got beautifulbuildings something thtat really suprised me in the beginning.
But in my opinion the most beautiful place we went to see was definitely 'WarwickCastle' which we visited after our trip to Stratford.
Warwick Castle is just gorgeous and when you are there and go into all the rooms youfeel like being in an other century.
Stratford is a nice, small city and it's very interesting to see where Shakespeare wasborn and where he lived.
All in all I can say that the trip to Oxford was a great experience and if I had the chanceto go there again I would certainly do just that.
