My work placement in England

First of all, I came into England one Monday the 26th of May. I landed in East Midland Airport during the morning. I came to England to complete a work placement in Victory Design, a supplier of my Dad's factory. The principal target was to improved my English.

When I arrived at the Airport, an employee of Victory Design were waiting for me at the exit. This person was Lee. When we were on the road I spoke with Lee and I found him very nice and welcoming. He is fond of the football Leed's team. So, fifty minutes after we arrived in Clowne where Victory is situated, we came to were I was staying in Michael's home. Michael is the son of Carole the Victory's financial Manager. Lee went back to his home, and I met Michael and his mother. Michael was very nice with me and welcoming like Lee and Carole.
So the next day, I started to work in Victory. At nine o'clock Carole picked me up to show me the way. ( Victory is very near to Michael's home) I found the company and the staff very welcoming and nice.

So, I met the diferent people quickly. The first hour I was with Justin the Manager and he showed me the diferent department in the factory. He was very nice with me, this person is very smiling. And after, I started to work in production with Alan who is great friend with Lee and I worked also with Kerry, Steve and Neil. This persons are very funny. I found the work not really hard and stressful. Otherwise, every evening, I used to work my English on Internet, I watched television, I spoke to my girlfriend by MSN and I played Pro Evolution Soccer with Michael.

The first friday night, I went in a pub with Lee Alan and Victory's staff for a drink. After I went with Lee and Alan to a big mall for shopping near Sheffield called Meadowhall. It was very nice and big place. The next day, Lee picked me up earlier and with Alan we went to do shopping and drink another glass. This day, was very nice because for once the weather was very good.
The second week I continued to work in production, the friday night with Alan and the people of Victory we went to Chesterfield for a pub-crawl. After this day, the European Cup begun in Austria and Switzerland. So, I could watch the matches every day.

Then, I started my third week in England, I watched the tie match of the French team and Romania. As well as the match loosing against Holland. Moreover, Michael was with his parents in Spain for a week on holiday. The Wednesday night, Justin invited me to go to a restaurant with his wife and his sons. I found this moment very welcoming and very good because Justin and his family were very nice with me, the weather and the meal were very nice.

The next week, I worked in the Marketing department, the work was not the same, it was interesting even if the language was more technical. Nonetheless, persons in Marketing Department was very nice. Moreover, the French team lost against the rival italian team and I was mad about it the Tuesday night.

For now, I found English life and culture very different to french culture because I think it is more friendly at work, in fact people go to pub every friday night moreover the stress is maybe less present. However, the weather was bad the landscape, the background were dark and people were less joyful than french people I think because from my point of view it is the weather. Moreover, if you like football the English culture is very good for that.
