Welcome To International Summer School

An enjoyable English language learning experience——together with organized sports, activities and excursion (外出游学) program.

International Summer School runs 3 different summer school centers for boys and girls aged from 8-21 years in the South of England. Our schools are chosen for their location, accommodation and excellent sporting and art facilities.

International Summer School has grown increasingly popular and attracts high student numbers each summer. We have many students and staff who return each year. Our courses are personal and of high quality. Students can surely have an exciting and enjoyable experience while improving their English at the same time.

Bethany Centre is situated in the heart of Kent in the beautiful countryside, very close to the village of Goudhurst, with its old fashioned shops and cafes, and Marden with its direct train route to central London. The historic large town of Tunbridge Wells is only 15 minutes away. Gatwick and Heathrow airports are easily accessible, as are Eurostar International Stations at Ashford and Ebbsfleet.

Moira House is based in Eastbourne on the south coast of England in the much favored Meads area of the town, within walking distance of the seafront and town centre. Gatwick Airport is about half an hour’s drive away and Heathrow around 40 minutes.

Eastbourne Centre is situated directly on the seafront and only a few minutes walk away from the main town centre, with its theatres, museums, art galleries, nightclubs, cafes, restaurants and good selection of indoor and outdoor shopping. Gatwick Airport is about half an hour’s drive away and Heathrow around 20 minutes.

The aim of International Summer School is to create a lively and happy atmosphere that makes learning and international communication enjoyable. Young people can have fun, but also gain considerable skills in English. A full day in London is always included, as well as other places of cultural interest.

Students of all cultures are welcomed as our aim is to create a summer school which can truly be described as International.

When we return your child to you at the end of their stay, we hope they will feel enriched by their experience with us and will look forward to returning to meet friends made at International Summer School the following year, as so many do.

This summer, I, along with several other international students, traveled to the region of Berounka and found a lovely camping place beside the river. At night, I shared a tent with three girls from Brazil, the United States, and Belgium. 1. I didn’t know what to bring, just my sleeping bag and some warm clothes. And with the light of the campfire burning all night, I was unable to sleep until 1 o’clock.

Later that morning, when we were all on the raft and ready to leave, I was told to sit in the middle because I’d never used a paddle (桨)before. 2. Once we set off, my US friend showed me how to use a paddle. I found it wasn’t so hard---it just made my arms really tired. I listened carefully to what my friends were saying at the same time looking around at the beautiful scenery. 3.

Suddenly, the raft turned over and we all fell into the water. My friends managed to reach the other side of the river quickly, but they couldn’t catch me. I felt panicked but wanted to get out of the water as soon as I could. 4.

At last, I finally made it to a rock near the riverbank. I was so delighted and asked my friends to take a photo of me. 5.From then on, I tried rafting almost every summer. My experience taught me that we should try new things and get to know new people, even if it means facing danger.

A.I’d never camped outside before.

B.I heard my friends cheering me up loudly.

C.I shared what I brought with my three roommates.

D.So I grasped my paddle and swam stoutly(勇敢地，坚决地).

E.I held on tightly to my paddle, not daring to move one bit.

F.I had fallen into the river, but I fell in love with this sport too.

G.Tree-filled mountains, the clear blue sky, and wooden cottages surrounded me.

Here are four tips to enjoy a Swedish summer.

Stay in a cottage

There are nearly 600,000 summer houses in Sweden. And more than 50% of the Swedes have access to them through family or friends. A few of the most popular summer house destinations for Swedes can be found in the provinces of Smaland, Skane and Oland. If you want to spend your summer like a Swede, make sure to spend a few nights in a cottage.

Follow the trail to Gotland

The island of Gotland is where half of Stockholmers go during the summer. In the medieval (中世纪)city of Visby, ancient streets and city walls meet modern restaurants, cafes and shops. A short ferry ride northeast of Gotland lies the smaller island of Faro, where director Ingmar Bergman used to live. Both Faro and Gotland are famous for their many flea markets.

Check out a music festival

Swedish summer is a festival season. Way Out West, or WOW, is the most popular music festival with about 30,000 visitors. It is usually held in Gothenburg park of Slottsskogen in August. It has been prized as the Most Innovative Festival by MTV and, since 2012, WOW has only served vegetarian food(素食). The decision, praised by Jamie Oliver, has reduced the festival’s carbon footprint by 20%. WOW is also Europe’s biggest combined music and film festival.

Pick blueberries in Dalarna

Dalarna is perhaps the most Swedish province, with its red wooden cottages, deep green forests and Dala horses. This region is perfect for making yourself involved in traditional Midsummer celebrations or listening to Swedish folk music. When you need a break from all of this loud Swedishness, head into the woods for some quiet blueberry picking.

1.What should you do if you want to spend your summer vacation like a Swede?

A. Spend a few nights in a cottage

B. Pick blueberries in Dalarna

C. Follow the trail to Gotland

D. Attend a music festival

2.Where did the director Ingmar Bergman use to live?

A. The island of Gotland

B. The Gothenburg park

C. The island of Faro

D. The city of Visby

3.What is special about the music festival WOW?

A. It only serves vegetarian food now

B. It is held in honor of Jamie Oliver

C. It is the biggest festival in the world

D. It attracts about 30,000 Swedes every year

4.Which of the following provinces is a typical Swedish area?

A. Stockholm　　 B. Skane

C. Oland　　 D. Dalarna
