We have learnt a lot of things about Europe, where is Austria and a lot about Linz we didn’t know

We realized that other teenagers in Europe speak very well English

We now know that we can do mistakes, the most important is to be understood

We were able to communicate in English

We were happy and proud to introduce the city where we study

We learnt a lot about Versailles
