A Typical Day
So, how's the typical day if you're an STS student in Brighton. This is an example:
8.00 You have breakfast. Milk, cereal, juice, tea, toast and jam are common components.
8.30 You catch the bus and greet the driver, as one usually do in Britain.
9.00 School starts. One class could be about phonetics/pronunciation or in other words "how to speak like an Englishman", another could be role playing games where you practise a lot of speaking and one could be about British culture and everyday life. In some cases you'll have activities before noon and school in the afternoon. You'll get a schedule in Brighton telling when and where you'll be doing what.
12.30 You eat your packed lunch together with your classmates. For lunch you usually get sandwiches with, for instance, lettuce, sliced tomato and cheese, and with that also a drink, a bag of crisps and a fruit or a chocolate bar. Very unlike a Swedish school lunch, but this is what British youngsters get and one aspect of a language trip is experiencing everyday life of the country you visit.
14.00 Your afternoon activity might be a visit to a museum, crazy games or why not a game of rounders (brännboll in Swedish) or football in Preston Park. If you had activities in the morning you'll have school now.
16.30 You might wanna do some shopping at Primark or just relax on the beach before going home to your host family.
18.00 You get supper at your host family's.
19.00 You meet up with the group for your evening activity. That might be some kind of games, a barbeque, going to the cinema or to the STS Disco. Everything will be in the schedule you get in Brighton, so you'll know in advance what kind of activity you'll have. If you have an idea of a good activity, that's not in your schedule, suggest it to your leader. It might be possible to squeeze in. The most important thing is that we have fun together with the group.
21.00 You might wanna go home to have some rest or maybe you prefer going to the funfair at the pier before that? STS leaders will be in town as long as you are there, so you always have us to turn to.
22.30 You might already be in bed or, if you've chosen to be out late, you now catch the last bus from Churchill Square to be home in time. You have to be home with your host family at 23.00 at the latest.
Sweet dreams and a good night's sleep before tomorrow's adventures!
