Field trip to the Capitol Building
Last week, ESL students from Stratford University went to the Capitol building. We met at the Capitol South metro station and headed towards the building. It was really amazing to see the huge beautiful building.

However, it was not easy. You have to go through a tight security screening for safety and security. We were guided by a Congressional intern from the building, he was nice and friendly. There were very beautiful paintings of American history, which was awesome.


The building is the symbol of unity as well as love for building a nation together. We also got chance to watch a short historical movie about the Capitol building. I was glad to see and learn the history of The United State of America.

Air and Space Museum

In the morning time the museum was not crowded so that we could see things clearly. We followed our teacher's instructions and got to know about the museum. We went inside the room about science, pressure, speed, water, air and vacuums. This helped us to know how airplanes are built.



As we were walking around we found one great instructor who was really nice. His name was Mark Goldberg. He took us step by step to make us understand about the creation from small to giant airplane and rockets. His English was clear with audible sound which made it easier to understand.

The creators were the Wright brothers, who were bike mechanics. Their strong will and dedication led to the invention of the airplane.

I was glad to see all the real airplanes, from the invention until today. I had lot of fun when I got inside the airplane and saw how they were built in the past.
