OUR FANTASTIC JOURNEY I would like to tell you about my trip.0:17
This summer two of my best friends and I traveled through Europe by train.0:23
Our plan was to visit Germany, Italy, Greece and France.0:28
Gro Berger and me are from Norway, believe in the city of Bergen and go to the same school.0:33
We started our journey two days before.0:41
Norway was going to play an important football match against Ireland.0:43
We went to Germany with a stop in Copenhagen.0:48
When we arrived in Copenhagen, we understood that we were in time to see the football match.0:52
We found the only place in the nearby streets where they had a television.0:57
It was fairly easy to speak to people in Copenhagen.1:04
They understood us because Norwegian and their language, Danish, are not very different.1:07
When we entered the pub, we saw at once that the majority of people there were Irish football fans.1:14
In fact, we were the only boys in the place who shouted for Norway.1:20
Norway lost the match.1:25
The Irish footballers were much better.1:26
We had a quick meal in the pub and went to the railway station to catch the next train to Berlin.1:29
My friends and I don't speak German.1:34
Our foreign language at school is English.1:37
Luckily it turned out that people in Berlin could understand English.1:40
Young people and older people helped us to find the places we wanted to visit and and explained everything in English.1:44
After a wonderful week in Italy, we found a boat to take us to the Greek island of Corfu.1:51
Corfu is very popular with tourists.1:57
On the boat there were a lot of young people coming from all over the world.2:01
There we met some Norwegian girls.2:05
It was great to speak Norwegian again after a week abroad trying to understand fast speaking Italians.2:07
But English helped us in Italy and in Greece too.2:13
The time we spent on the island was really fantastic.2:17
It was about 40 degrees centigrade, but we swam a lot and had fun.2:20
Then we went through France and returned to Norway and nearly everywhere English helped us to speak to people from different countries.2:26
It is really a global language.2:35
