You and me
I’m really lucky because I had a chance to visit another counrty. 25th of May was the
most exciting day in my life. I went to Estonia. When we were flying there I was a little bit
worried because I have never been on a trip so far away from my home, parents and friends.
I was glad when we finally managed to arrive in Polva. I felt very tired because we got
there late, so I just went home with my new friend Anneli and we went straight to bed. When
we got up the next morning we went to the kitchen. I was surprised when Anneli’s father said
to us “Good morning” in Polish. Her parent are kind and polite, they are also very tolerant.
Next we went to school. It is different than my school in Poland . It’s big and colorful. I was
surprised to see that both very young children and teenagers are at the same building. I liked
that a lot. I was surprised to hear the sound of the bell announcing the end of the lesson – it
is very nice I think students in Poland would probably enjoy it a lot.
We went for a walk around Polva . Estonia is very similar to Poland. There are similar
forests, road, towns. I like my friends from Estonia and Turkey, they are funny and cool. They
laugh a lot just like my friends in Poland. Even though I just met my new friends I could talk
to them as if we knew each other for a long time. We had a lot in common, we like the same
music, we have similar traditions and we enjoy doing similar things in our free time. It made
me realize that even though we sometimes have problems with expressing our thoughts in
English if we really want it , we can find a way to communicate.
Being in Polva gave me a chance to have a closer look at the things we have
in common and the ones that separate us. People from Estonia and Turkey seem to be
cheerful , hospitable and open-minded. They like spending their free time in the open air
just like Polish teenagers. Staying with my Estonian family gave me a chance to participate
in everyday activities. It showed me that if we tolerate each other it’s easeier to understand
other people’s behaviour even if we don’t speak their language or know their traditions.
