This day began again with a lot of sunshine so we started the second half of our stay in a more or less motivated mood. After the short briefing in the cafeteria at around 9 o’clock, classes commenced. With our first teacher we had to make a short presentation with a poster about a country assigned by our teacher. But we didn’t have to present them in front of the class but in front of a video camera in a separate room and tomorrow we will probably watch them. I think it will be funny but also very embarrassing to see oneself on TV. After these again special lessons of our teacher we had classes with our second teacher Helen. With her we talked about crimes and punishment and played a little game: One half of the class was officers and the other half were suspects but one of them was also the robber. So in order to find the right one the cops had to make a police questioning. But first the suspects had to talk to each other in order to have the same story, but something had to be impossible so the officers could find the right robber. Before the lesson ended the cops had to say who the robber was but unfortunately we didn’t find him and had arrested one of the innocent suspects.
After lunch at McDonald’s we had our first project work presentations about King’s College, the Student’s Life and Bridges and the River Cam. But not every student has to go to every presentation. Everyone has got to do just one and to listen to two, otherwise it would be too exhausting.

After this interesting afternoon with lot of information we had time to ourselves. And after the not very delicious dinner we met at the roundabout which is close to everyone’s home and went to the Leisure Center where you can play some videogames, billiard or bowling. We decided to play bowling and after nearly two hours we were still bowling. But when it became too late we had to go home in order to be fit for the next school day.
