ENGLISH EUROPEAN CLASS at Bernstein High

The Australian billet

I had a billet from Australia. His name is Alex. He came to France for 3 weeks ( 13 July/7 August 2007 ).

At 10.30 a.m he arrived at Bernstein High. When we were at home we had lunch, and he went to sleep because he travelled for 21 hours. The first week we went to school and he thought that the school was boring. In the evening he went a bit on the computer and we watched T.V.
Sometimes, it was difficult with him because he was shy. The 2 other weeks we didn’t visit lots of things because it was rainy all the time. We did lots of things with Léonie and her billet Kristina. We went to the cinema, to Strasburg to see the new T.G.V railway station and the cathedral. We visited some villages like Obernai, Barr, Valff…
We went to eat at the restaurant. We did sports like tennis and football. For the meals my mother prepared Alsatian specialities.

Alex was nice but VERY shy. These 3 weeks were an interesting experience.
