Monday May 12th At 2 pm we met the other children to went to the airport together. We arrived at the airport in good condition when I wanted check in my bag the girl said to me : I can t take the plane if I don t have a certificate ; I needed a certificate because I had broken my arm 2 week before. So I called my father who had driven me at the airport but he didn t do anything so he phoned my mother because she was the only person who could tell a doctor. During this time I went to the nursery with the English teacher but unfortunately she was absent. At this time I thought I couldn t go to Britain. When I came back close to my Dad the situation was desperate but at this moment my mother phoned me and she said a doctor sent me a fax. The English teacher and I ran in the airport to take the certificate. At the end we could join the other teenagers. The travel in plane was beautiful. We landed at the airport of Liverpool and we went to Chester in a blue bus. When we arrived all families were present just a family was missing, this was our family! Thirty minutes later a car arrived this was friend of the mother of our family, she said the mother had a problem so she drove us in our family. When we arrived we had lunch with her two sons tom and Ben and after that I was tired because the day was very long and stressing. So we went to bed. The day wasn t great for me but I thought I was lucky because without my English teacher and luck I will be remained in France 1
