Last Thursday a group of 36 students , 2 English teachers and our American assistant, Nick, went on a school trip to Gibraltar. They left at 7 in the morning and arrived there about 10. On the way , they stopped to have breakfast and rest for a while.
As soon as they got to the Main square , most of the students together with Nichola, climbed up the mountains to watch the astonshing views of the Atlantic Sea and a bit of Africa and , of course , the main touristic attraction in the place: the naughty monkeys ( they are said to take your belongins away). As it was very hot , they decided to come down and start doing their English project.
They found "the little town" very akward about the language they listened to: some words in a perfect British English accent mixed with pure andalusian ones. It sounded funny.
They went, of course, shopping and bought some trainers, one of them bought a big glass for his father´s birthday , T-shirts, monkey toys, chocolate, biscuits....
Gibraltarian are very friendly as they are used to deal with lots of people . Being a strategic place and a British colony is very attractive to visit . Besides things like chocolates, perfumes, are said to be cheaper.
For the students It is very interesting because they can listen to people speaking the language they are learning at school and somehow watch the way of life of English people.
