Hi our friends!!!
According to me, the English project was very educative and particularly interesting because I could know the life and the habits of other Nations.
I was just disappointed because we couldn’t arrange a chat with you during the schoolyear in order to know you better; anyway, I think the project was very useful for us and we could improve the language.

Our job experience in Malta
Malta is a densely populated developed European microstate in the European Union.
The island nation comprises an archipelago of seven islands situated in the Southern European areas of the Mediterranean sea.
The country's official languages are Maltese and English, which replaced Italian in 1934.
Every year our school organizes the educational trips to Malta, first of all, to improve the student’s English language, and train them for the hotel and restaurant services, working in different hotels.
Last year we were delighted to visit this magnificient area.
We had the opportunity to attend the English course, based on the Inlingua Method with 20 lessons, and gain experience in the hotels as receptionists, waiters and chef’s assistants for 2 weeks
.
In the end we received 2 certificates : one for completion of the English Language Course and the other one for the hotel experience gained during this period.
Moreover, we had the possibility to visit some places, like Sliema, a beautiful city, where we carried out our job experience, San Julian, with several nightclubs, discos and pubs, Mdina, medieval town situated in the centre of the island, commonly called the “Silent City” by natives and visitors alike, Valletta, the capital, and Gozo, an island of the Maltese archipelago.
We visited most of these places by the typical city buses, which have become tourist attractions in their own right and appear on many Maltese advertisements to promote tourism, as well as on gifts and merchandise for tourists.

It is very luxurious.
During the day, we had some time to go for a walk, go shopping and buy some souvenirs, that represent the maltese culture.
The Festival of the artichoke
Each year in April the town of Ramacca organizes the “Festival of the Artichoke” that wants to be a moment to promote a better understanding of the organoleptic quality, and the nutritional and health value of the artichoke.
