Martyna

My name is Martyna Truszczyoska. I go to school number 8 in Torun. 

In our school there is a program called 'Comenius'. It involves the exchange of children from other countries. Students from Poland Spain and Turkey took part in this program. We first met in our school for the first time. Half of the Polish children hosted the Spanish and the other half hosted the Turkish. In April was the exchange in Spain. I flew with Maya, Natalia, Casper and my teachers. I was very happy that I travelled by plane to Spain on the fourth of April. We had to get up at 4.00 in the morning as we had a flight at 10.30. In the plane I sat next to Natalia and had fun together. We flew four hours to Madrid. Then we landed at the airport and immediately we drove to Zarza de Granadilla, where my friend was waiting for me with her parents. My friend called Nayary. She had an older brother Edgar who was 12 years old. Her mum and dad were very nice and took care of me. I lived in Abadii near Casper, and Maya and Natalia lived in Casas del Monte. The next day we went to school at 9:00 am for breakfast. There I met Maja, Natalia and Casper. The food was toast with a variety of fruit such as strawberries, bananas and melons. I drank a fresh squeezed orange juice. It was very good. For dinner we received paella, which is their main and traditional dish for dinner. In the following days we visited Mérida, Plasencia, and Madrid, and met four villages’ presidents. On Saturday, we had time to go shopping. There Were also organized various games and activities. I am glad that I had a chance to go there. On April 28 we left Madrid airport to Poland. I felt sad but I missed my family. My parents were waiting for me and we all said goodbye.
