On our last day in Austria, we gave a presentation in the city hall.
We presented the work that we did in the four weeks that we spent together.
When we arrived at school in the morning, we didn't know exactly what we had to do, so it was like a surprise for us. In the beginning, we were very nervous, so we spent three hours in the school rehearsing what we were going to say; we had two minutes to speak about our topic, one of our articles and about our impressions.
First of all, Ana and Nerea gave a present to the Major and to the headmistress.
Julia and me were the first ones to speak. Our topic was economy. Then, Lukas and Dani talked about terrorism, Nerea and Katrine about tourism, Marta and Marlene about the job market, Andrea and Alexandra about sports, Bea and Tanja about agriculture, Ana and Corinna about traditions, Adri and Klemens about art and culture, Charlie about the Naschmarkt, and, because Chistoph wasn't in the presentation, Bea and Charlie talked about politics. Later, Hala and Bea focused on differences between Spain and Austria. Finally, Bea and Desiree spoke about society, and Carol and Vane about youth and the presidency of Spain in the European Union.
At the end it turned out to be great! Every one did very well and the parents and other students enjoyed their time as well.
The Spanish students said: “I could speak in English in front of a lot of people including a mayor, my teachers and a lot of Austrians parents, I feel like now I can do anything!”
But the presentation hadn't finished yet, we took a photo of the whole group, and our teachers asked us about your impressions. We thanked everyone of course.
A big applause took over the city hall.
It was a touching moment, because we had to say goodbye; we left that evening.
