This week was wonderful and very interesting. I learned

something about another culture and I met new friends.

I’d like to return to Bulgaria.

Scuola Media Poggi Carducci, Sarzana

I’m very happy to have had this great opportunity

because it helped me to grow, to widen my horizons,

to manage the relationship with my teacher out of the

classroom (I appreciated so much her family

confidence!) and, finally, I understood that

establishing new relationships with a common interest

is an invaluable resource.
