¿QUÉ APRENDÍ? (EVALUATION)

Read the text and underline the verbs in past tense

Last summer, Joel and Sara travelled to England for two weeks. They travelled in August and stayed in a college with other students in Brighton, the south of England. It was really fantastic because they talked to a lot of students of different nationalities and learned a lot about other cultures and customs. Of course, they learned a lot of English too because they practiced it every day. In the morning, they studied a little, they asked the teacher to speak slowly when necessary and answered their questions. In the afternoon, they visited different places or played different sports at the college. It was so much fun. They often walked down to the beach with their new friends and played or chatted. In the evening, they were tired, so they sometimes watched videos or played board games.

The best day were Saturday and Sunday because they travelled to London. The city is very big, and they visited all the monuments like The Big Ben, The London Eye, and Buckingham Palace. They wanted to see the King but they didn´t see him, only his guards!

They liked everything in the city, but their favorite thing was the museums, especially Madame Tussauds.There were a lot of realistic figures of famous people there.

At the end of the two weeks, they were sad to return home. The holidays were fun and different from usual. They cried a little when they waved goodbye to their new friends and promised to write or send emails when they arrived to home.

Write TRUE or False. Correct false ones.
