If you are a beach lover, San Diego is the perfect choice for you to learn English in the USA. In San Diego, we have several great beaches for fun, such as Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, Coronado Beach, and others as well. However, one of the most popular sites is probably “Mission Beach.” Mission Beach offers beautiful golden sands, clear waters, and a warm beach climate. This place offers fun for everyone with a variety of attractions, including surfing, swimming, beachcombing, and biking along the boardwalk. Among these activities, CEL offers students an exciting Bonfire Night at Mission Beach.

Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Night, is an annual traditional festival held in the United Kingdom on November 5th. This festival commemorates the historic event of thwarting a plot to blow up the British Parliament in 1605, for which Guy Fawkes was arrested after hiding explosives. On this day, Britons create bonfires filled with flames and enjoy fireworks displays to commemorate the occasion. Bonfire Night is an opportunity for people to gather with friends and family, enjoy the fire, and revel in fireworks and sparklers.

On the day of this picture, we had a Bonfire Night activity at Mission Beach with all the students from CEL San Diego. Bonfire Night is a time for communities to come together, celebrate history, and enjoy the spectacle of fireworks and bonfires lighting up the night sky. In general, we eat s’mores, a dessert usually enjoyed during camping, which combines elements of English and American culture. Students, teachers, and staff had a great time sitting by the bonfire, chatting, and enjoying s’mores together. You can make many international friends and create lasting memories here at CEL with diverse and enriching activities.

CEL not only offers fun activities but also provides a great experience for learning English in the USA with wonderful memories.
