Smaller groups; also the classroom was tiny for 13-14 people. The social activities weren´t interesting; it could be better to organise to go to the theatre or visit some interesting place near Colchester after 5:00 when the school, museums and shops are closed.

Other comments In the second week, a group of 15-20 Italian teenagers with their two English teachers was accepted. With fewer teachers than in the previous week, the school had to insert 5-7 Italians in the same class with negative consequences on the activities of the class.
