One day I got a call. It said I won a competition and I could take a trip to Guadeloupe with a group for free. The next day, on my way home from school, I borrowed (借) a book on Guadeloupe from the library and then I bought a map of Guadeloupe in the bookstore.
I left for the airport (机场) at about 3:00 a.m. It was too early to take a bus, so my dad drove me. When I arrived at Pointe-à-Pitre, a city in Guadeloupe, I took a taxi to the hotel. It was rainy and cloudy when I left London but it was sunny in Pointe-à-Pitre.
The others in the group were Chinese and Japanese. French (法语) is the language of Guadeloupe but we couldn't speak it. So for the next five days, we had language classes before lunch. After lunch, we visited different places and in the evening we played cards.
Then we went to a small island (岛). For the next two weeks, we stayed with the Dinart family in their house. They were very friendly. I often helped Mrs. Dinart clean the house.
I really enjoyed the trip. I met many interesting people and tried lots of new things.
