Communication Is the Key

My name is Kristaps Lauris Radelis. I am 14 years old. I participated in a project named ‘’Erasmus’’ in Poland. It lasted for 5 days. It was very interesting and educational journey. I had a lot of great time and experience. This project helped me to improve my English knowledge. It is a lot easier to brush your English knowledge in everyday circumstances.

On the first day we had a meeting and workshops at school. We had an oppurtunity to meet all the participants of the project. I met a lot of people and I started to feel comfortable in Poland’s atmosphere. The people in Poland were very responsible and friendly. I had a great opportunity to meet people from many different countries. Very responsible and friendly family was hosting me. In the family I had a chance to taste different but delicious food making recipes. I was teaching them Latvian words but they were teaching me Polish words. During the project I became more closer with my new friend Szymon. We spent a lot of time together. Our friendship will last longer. Even now we are chating and calling each other despite the fact that we don’t have an opportunity to meet again.

I had a great chance to learn about Poland's history and its beautiful nature. We had many amazing adventure like – doing lot of stuff in workshops, going deep underground, visiting beautiful places in Krakow. My favourite adventure was the coal mine. It was located more than 300 meters deep underground.
