【一起闲话英语】乡间旅行-Field Trip

Tim / United States

speaker My school didn't have field trips that we would go to, but there were events that we would have. A big event was homecoming, which is the first major sports game of the year, so people would celebrate that a lot and go and see that game, usually football.

 

Adria / United States 

speaker The only school field trip I really remember is going to a farm when I was in second grade. Many of the other school field trips got canceled because of the budget and the school kind of declined¹ after my sister graduated. So, because of that, we just went to this farm, but it was a lot of fun and we got to pet a lot of animals, which I liked.

 

Isma / Indonesia

speaker School field trip? Well, I think once I went to a museum in Indonesia. I don't really understand anything about it, because it was my first time. And we actually went to like a park, which is pretty cool, because I got to hang out with my friends, and yeah, I had a lot of fun.

 

Shifani / New Zealand 

speaker My very first school field trip I remember was to a park in India. That was when I was in primary school, and this was when I was back in India. I remember we went by bus for about two and a half hours, and then, we ended up in a beautiful park, which was also a graveyard².

 

Antoinette / United States

speaker I don't remember taking a school field trip in high school. I do remember taking a school field trip in junior high. We went to the Statue of Liberty³ and climbed all the way to the top.

 

Alex / Australia

speaker My favorite school trip was one where we actually ... when I was living in Colorado, we went to a Nobel prize winner's laboratory⁴, and he demonstrated⁵ the experiment that got him the Nobel Prize, which was he recreated the coldest place in the universe, which is a sort of three centimeter by three centimeter tube, which is the coldest known place in the universe. I was in the same room as this, and it was really fantastic to be there, to know that I was part of, you know, the history of science, as well.

 

Dani / England 

speaker My favorite school trip--I guess, I didn't really go on that many--would have to be when I went to Alton Towers, when I went to a large theme park with my school, because it was like a celebration of the end of being at that school, and it was a lot of fun, especially getting to go on all the rides, and it's just a really great day out with friends.
