I arrived at 2:00 am in the Philippines and when we reached at Crown Regency Hotel and had our orientation. Mr. Cyrus gave us instruction and the staff gave their self-introduction. I feel very sad and nervous because I can’t see my family within 56 days and I don’t have my friends at that time. My first friends here in CIA were my roommates Jay, Jae Yeon, Nichole, Jenny, Christine, Signey, and Adelle they are all active and kind. At first I don’t like my room in the hotel because it is dark and I am afraid in the dark. That is why I transferred to the Villa. My mother suggested that I will join the English Camp and also my friends said that we will go together.

During weekend we had our activities like Edge Coaster in Crown Regency Hotel, Zip line, Crocolandia were ther

e are lots of crocodiles, Plantation Bay where we do swimming and Kayaking. Next was in Tambuli, we rode on

a Jet Ski and Banana boat. We also had our SM Mission and lastly we had our City Tour at Taoist Temple, Fort

San Pedro, and Magellan’s Cross.

First I will talk about the Edge Coaster, at first I felt excited but later I felt bored. In the Zip line I had fun and it is very exciting. When we go to Crocolandia we saw many crocodiles, birds, squirrels and snakes and I took picture with the snake. We also went to Plantation Bay, we had swimming there and we do Kayaking. Kayaking is fun b

ut tiring because you need more energy when you do it. In Tambuli, we rode on a jet ski, it is very exciting and v

ery fast, I really want to do it again and we also rode the banana boat I had mixed emotions with it because I wa

s afraid that I might fell on the water, excited fun and happy after it. We also had our SM Mission;

we do many things like finding where the stores and the CR and we do also shopping. Shopping had a very shor

t time yet I enjoyed shopping. And lastly, we did our City Tour; we went to Taoist Temple, Fort San Pedro and M

agellan’s Cross. The places we went are beautiful but I felt bored because of the weather it is very hot. And the b

est experienced I had in CIA been going to Plantation Bay and Tambuli.

In CIA I learned more English and I developed my self-confidence. They help me enhance my skills in listening,

speaking, writing and reading. I also learned to live by my own self without my mom. I think I learned to be indep

endent and be strong.

I study English because I want to achieved my dream being an animal doctor or zoo keeper. And I can use Engli

sh wherever I go because English is a universal language. I can communicate with other people around the worl

d. That is why English is very important.

I want to join again English camp but with my family so that I will not miss them. And I want my family to see the

Philippines and let them experience the life here. And I enjoyed talking and playing with teachers and I had fun st

udying with them. And my stay here is great.
