I’m David. When I was 13, my parents decided that I should go to England to improve my English. I had never been to other countries before, so I felt a little worried. My parents prepared everything for my journey. My plane was due (预期) to leave at 9:30 a.m. and arrive in two hours. I phoned the English family who I would stay with and they told me they would wait for me at the airport (机场).
Unluckily my plane to London was delayed (延误). I tried to phone the English family again but I couldn’t speak to them because they had already left home for the airport.
When I arrived in London, it was already 1:30 p.m. I went to get my luggage (行李) but I couldn’t find it. I became very worried. Luckily, the airport staff (工作人员) was very helpful and efficient. I didn’t wait long — they found it 10 minutes later.
My English family were still waiting for me! I was so happy! Then my new life in London began. My English family were quite kind. I learned a lot of English because I spent most of the day talking in English. I played computer games with the little boy in my English family. I also taught him how to play chess. Sometimes I told him stories I learned from my family.
I missed my family during my stay in London, but I also felt sad when my stay there came to an end. My English family held a party for me. I enjoyed it very much. I’ll never forget that summer in London! It is one of the most wonderful experiences I’ve ever had.
