These are not just any old speeches. We made our very own speeches for ‘The Junior Speaking Contest’. Every year the second and third years have to make a speech following the theme of the contest. This year the theme was ‘The Future Is Now’, as you may notice the theme is very broad which is why almost every speech is different. The speech must be three minutes long and you may be off by thirty seconds.

Not only do you have to present your speech in class, you also get to compete with pupils of other schools in your region. However not everyone gets to go. To be able to go to the competition you must win from your class. One second year student and one third year student are able to go to this competition.

For the poetry assignment we had to write two poems, one should be about the first world war, the second one is your choice between two subjects. Option 1 was writing a poem about advice to a future son or daughter, option 2 was writing a poem about an object and its life. By reading the poem would should know what object it is. Before we made the poems we had some examples and we talked about them as well.

Every year we have 12 units, you can also call them chapters.Each unit has his own little story at the start and the stories uses the grammar we are going to learn in this chapter.

A unit has more than just a story they all have their different listening exercise and writing exercises. Each unit has this kind of layout. The units are all found in the student book, that is the book we mainly use in class.

Every class has around 20 to 25 students per teacher. It depends on how many students sign up for TTO and if you are studying gymnasium or atheneum. However the classes are not too full at all, they are just fine. Then the average grade, the average is not that high it is just around a 7.

But you get a lot of grades because you have a lot of projects you are graded on, so if you get an insufficient one time it is not a big deal.

The tests are nothing special for us at least we are used to them. It mainly has to do with grammar but we also have a listening test and reading tests. Only the tests about grammar are more likely and more often used. The standard grammar test consists of some different things, mainly Mixed tenses, making questions, find the mistakes and vocabulary.

Mixed tenses are all the different tenses mixed up and you have to fill in according to the tense the sentence is in. Making questions is, you get a sentence and you have to set it to a question with the same verb and tense.

Finding mistakes is just finding the mistakes in a sentence, and vocabulary is more about learning words. For every unit you get a word list that you have to study for the test.

Most of the time a test consists multiple units.

For us homework is just a couple of questions that have to do with the subject we are learning about, sometimes it is a story, the other time it is filling in the question. We have all kinds of different exercises we can make and they aren’t too difficult.
