Everything has the beginning and the end. And one year of the existence of Socrates is almost finishing.

Dominik Juskani

My name is Dominik and I was asked to make a conclusion of our work on this project.

People often say: "Time is money". Socrates took us a lot of time. But time spent by preparing things on project was, in fact, acquisition for us. And what’s more, we’ve improved our English, have tried out new ways of communication, got new friends. It has given us a lot of new experience and knowledge about life in Spain or Ireland. I could open web site and read about it anytime I want, but information written in Socrates were made by people who want to communicate and make new friendship. That’s the important thing in it. I think, it’ll be wonderful if we get some money for it next year. We will definitely continue in it. We will look for new ideas of themes or other possibilities of presentation of our town, school, and country.

And now opinions of my classmates:

The worst thing of this project was the time because for example the school in Dublin ends in May. The best thing was that we have found new friends and have tried out new ways of communication.

It took us a lot of time, pens and papers. But it was funny to know some interesting people and their cultures, traditions and school systems. The most interesting thing was their free time. We hope that we will go to Spain or Ireland.

This project gave me a lot of new knowledge about Ireland and Spain. I know a lot about their habits, a style of living and of course I’ve improved my English. I have a lot of new friends and it will be very good, if it continues.

In this project I could write stories in English I got acquainted with many foreigners, their lifestyles, system of studying. Our lessons have become more interesting than before by doing this project.

Thanks to this project we found a lot of new friends. We practised and improved our English. We are very interested in the way of your life and culture.

Jana Andruchová : In my opinion it is an easy way, to learn about cultural differences in all involved countries. We found many new penfriends. Experience in communication with other people. It made us learn and improve our English

This project gives me an opportunity to practise my English. I’ve found out more information about your country, habits and culture. I’ve found new and very nice penfriends. If I go to your country I'll go to see you.

This project is one of the best way how to learn English ant it has given me a lot of information about the way of life in Ireland and Spain. I think it will be perfect if it continues to future. We’ve had a lot of new friends.

I have never thought it would be so exciting. The project let us know many interesting things and made us think about the differences between the countries.
