Another wet night in South London. The rain poured but the spirit was there as Answer English took another 4 points in the battle for promotion. Hughnel starred in the first game, scoring a couple and making another as Answer English marched to victory. Oli and Ivor also getting on the score sheet.

Having swept aside The Dynosaurs, 4 - 1, we faced Kaiser Clowns who we had drawn against the week before. They went ahead due to some goalkeeping Coco the clown would have been proud of. However AEFC were soon back into it with one goal to go level and another to take the lead. AEFC were now shooting at will with Ivor going close and Paul going closer. However with minutes to go it was the same old story as the Kaisers scored, to level the score 2-2.

This leaves AEFC in third place with 11, behind Kaiser Clowns with 12 and the team to beat Pilgrims with 16. There are two weeks to go and anything could happen but anything short of the maximum points against Sporting Shanks and The Chad and midtable mediocrity beckons.

Jiajun joins the Language Coach and heads to Bath:

Before I went Bath city, I heard so many positive feedbacks about Bath that I decided to go with English learners last Saturday.

14 students and 2 English teachers went together toward Bath last Saturday. This trip started at Baker Street at 8:00 in the morning. During the first hour of our trip, James and Phil who are the English teachers of this trip handed out sheets which provide us all the information about the places where we are going to visit. Some students just wanted to sleep, but some students are very interested in reading all the information including me!

After two and half hour interesting journey, we were finally there – Roman Bath. Before we entered Roman Bath, we were given some small phones that we could hear all the information that help us to get to know the Roman Bath! At the same time, we did some interesting listening exercises which made this trip a real English learning! The Great Bath is the centre piece of the Roman Bathing buildings and is fed directly from the Sacred springs which provides a luxurious warm swim!

The spring overflow at which hot water flowed from the spring into the Great Roman drain can reach at a temperature of 46°C! We could see the steam come out of this spring! The great Roman drain carries water from the spring and the Great Bath to River Avon. It was lined originally with wooden boards and they are still there today which is a big surprise for me! We finally went to the Pump Room which is the place we tried hot spa water! I suggest you do not breathe when you drink this spa water! This is only my personal experience!

After lunch, we visited the city separately! I went together with four other students to a beautiful park, a nice river and the famous bridge – I forgot the name!
