Introduction, members, objective and bibliography

Introduction
Good morning, we are going to present our project. This project has been prepared since the beginning of the year, in September with the reading of Trip to London, which is about a man who  goes on a trip to London and visits the most popular monuments and places in London. Then all the people in the class made projects and power points related to the food, culture, sports, history and many other aspects of London culture and way of life. We learnt a lot about all its culture and the differences between their daily life and ours.
During our trip we continued the work we had started in class. We completed the worksheet of each place that we visited. All these worksheets had been made by ourselves. We had to search information about  each place and talk to our host families. That helped us to practise and improve our English and get to know  our host family better ,too.
With this blog and album, we are gathering all the information that we took in London (from the worksheets and realia such as  underground maps,  tickets, and so on ) together with our impressions of the trip. We are also completing the tasks made in London with more information we have got from books or the internet . We have been  working hard during this week.

We hope that you like our project and if you want to go to London, visit our blog, it could help you!!

Conclusions

With this project we have learnt how to make a blog. We have learnt how to upload videos and pictures and write a bibliography too. Now we can create a new blog by ourselves about any subject.

We have learnt a lot about English lifestyle and culture. While we were with the host families in London, we could adapt to their daily lives and their timetable and we learnt a lot about their customs but now we have widened that with information from books and the internet. 

In addition, we have learnt a lot about the history of different places, monuments or museums. We had to make a lot of research about  each visit so we have learnt about these places.

And finally, we have improved our English a lot, not only during the trip, by doing the worksheets and talking to the people there,  to the extent that now we can have a normal conversation with a native English person, but also, of course, with the creation of this blog , to do this research project, we have had to read a lot, to translate , to look for information in English on the internet, to write summaries, to explain our experience, and last, but not least, to prepare this  oral presentation in English.
