This fall, EF gave three students a trip of a lifetime! Philip, David, and James from Jinan went to Brighton, England for two weeks of traveling, studying, and fun! The boys were the grand prize winners of the 2005 EF English First Taxi Competition.
今秋,EF送給中國三個朋友旅游! Philip, David, 和 James 去英國布菜頓動兩個星期學(xué)習(xí),旅游,玩一玩. 男孩是EF全球抽獎活動的勝利者.
Listening to my mp3s, I noticed our plane had already landed at London Heathrow Airport. Stepping onto the earth of the Great Britain, breathing the cool and fresh air, I felt comfortable even after a 13-hour-long flight. As soon as we left the airport, we were on our way to Eltham College, where we would have our course. I watched the night scenes outside the window. Shortly after arriving at our destination, my friend James and I met our host family for the first time. I was really exhausted, so I followed them straight home for a big sleep.
聽著MP3，我發(fā)現(xiàn)飛機已經(jīng)在倫敦希斯路機場降落了。踏上大不列顛的土地，呼吸著涼爽、新鮮的空氣，即使在13個小時的長途飛行后，我還是覺得很舒服。一離開機場，我們就前往艾森學(xué)院，在那里我們將開始課程。我欣賞著窗外的夜景。達(dá)到目的地沒多久，我和我的朋友詹姆士就第見到了接待我們的人家。我實在太累了，跟著他們回到家就倒頭大睡。
Soon I fell into our daily routine. From Monday to Friday, we spent our mornings having lessons at Eltham College with Freddie and Ali, our teachers during the course. With their humor and excellent teaching, their lessons were filled with both knowledge and fun. I enjoyed their lessons so much that I’d be sure to give them 100% in any evaluation.
過了不久我就適應(yīng)了我們的日常生活。周一至周五，我們早上與弗雷迪和艾麗老師一起上課。他們幽默、精彩的教授使課程既有知識性又不失趣味。我非常喜歡他們的課，肯定會給他們滿分的評價。
The activities in the afternoons and weekends were as wonderful as the morning lessons. I was most excited to see Big Ben and the Parliament House with my own eyes because they’d always been the symbols of London in my mind. Besides them, there was a cruise on the Thames River, a visit to the Tower of London as well as a walk through Piccadilly Circus. What I enjoyed more than anything else was Thorpe Park because of several exciting rides, like the roller coasters, which made my heart beat so fast. What we saw on London Eye was also really worth seeing. This was the only place where people could look over the whole city.
下午和周末的活動同早上的課程一樣精彩。能親眼目睹大本鐘和國會大樓的風(fēng)采讓我尤其興奮，因為在我的心目中它們一直是倫敦的象征。除了這兩處景點，還有我們還乘船在泰晤士河上航行、參觀倫敦塔、漫步皮卡迪利廣場。我喜歡的是索普公園，因為像云霄飛車之類的刺激項目使我心跳飛快。從倫敦眼看到的景象的確值得一見。這是一處人們可以俯瞰整座城市的地方。
One weekend, we took a trip to Brighton. That was an absolutely fun day, too. We sat on the beach, watching waves coming over and over again, enjoying pure fish and chips as well! And I have to admit that I would have really regretted it if I hadn’t visit Madame Tussaud’s. There were a great many waxworks of actors, singers, and politicians etc. They were all so lifelike that I just couldn’t believe they were made out of wax!
周末我們來到布萊頓。那也絕對是美好的一天。我們坐在沙灘上，看著海浪一波接一波地滾滾而來，同時享受著純正的軟炸魚和炸土豆條！另外我必須承認(rèn)如果我沒有參觀杜莎夫人蠟像館，我肯定會后悔。那里有許多演員、歌手和政壇人物的蠟像，栩栩如生，我簡直不能相信它們都是用蠟作成的！
Twenty-one days later, I left London. I loved it there. As our plane take off, I told myself that I would absolutely return someday.
二十一天后，我離開了倫敦。我喜歡這里。飛機起飛時，我告訴自己將來有一天我一定會回到這里的。
