Dear Diary,
Today was a normal day as usual but there were lots of joy.
In the morning, I went to Sawston College to have classes and I learnt poetry in the Drama class. The poetry introduced six new words that I have never seen before. Some of them turned out to be a meaning which I have known! Probably I should improve my vocabulary! There were two new old words that I learnt today which were 'dost' and 'thou'. They turned out to be 'do' and 'you'! I was surprised!
In the afternoon, everyone enjoyed so much. Finally it was the time for me to wear my suit. There was an EvenSong activity that I needed to pray and sing.
Also, my group and other groups played ninja. Ninja is a game that I needed to touch others' hand before other's hand was moved away. No one won because the game stopped for outdoor sports.
Overall for today, it was a fun day. No one was worrying about homework or things to do. Such a pleasant day!
Cheers,
Lachlan Lai

From Jason Chan:
What can I write?
After breakfast (the exact thing for a whole week) we had history, science and poetry. In science, we had to do a presentation and make a model about an animal and its habitat. I did quite good so I earned a point for my group!
After lunch, we went to the Fitzwilliam College Chapel. There was some sort of an event where we sang and prayed to God. Although I couldn't speak the whole time, it was a new experience.
Then, we had some activities with our mentors and that's my day.
Seven more days...

From Tom Kwok:
Today, we had to do a project on animals in the science class, learnt some poetry in the drama class and acted like a historian in the history class.
We had classic English food for lunch and dinner: "Toad in a hole" and "English roast". They were both really good.
We also participated in the Evensong ceremony. It was a very fancy ceremony and we listened to the choir singing beautiful songs. The wonderful tune is still echoing in my ears now...
