To me the English language is really important as I can communicate with people all around the world.

If you can understand or speak English you have more opportunities in your later working life, also in foreign countries, since English is the language used in business, science and technology et cetera.

Learning English at the EHG is fun because most things you learn can be used in real life right after you learned them.

I really like the English language itself because it makes you able to connect with so many more people from all over the world. When you speak English, you can make friends from Poland, the USA or even Australia (obviously the Internet helps a lot with that too) and I think that’s awesome!

I also like the English lessons at the EHG, because we always have such a huge variety of ways, we can learn for Example Quizlet, Quizlet live, Kahoot, learning videos and more. That way the lessons are actually fun and not as boring as they would be if we just did tasks in the textbooks the whole time.

In Verona, Italy there has been a family feud going on between the Montagues and the Capulets for years. Juliet, daughter of the Capulets and Romeo, son of the Montague, fall in love when they meet on accident. Both families don´t approve this to the point where they would probably kill both if they found out. Still, they get married in secret. The Capulets, unknowing of Juliet´s and Romeo´s marriage, want to marry Juliet to a noble man. Trying to get out of the situation, she creates a plan: she will take a drug, which will make her appear dead, while she actually is simply unconscious. She then sends a message to Romeo telling him this and that he should carry her body out of the tomb, so that they could live somewhere else. Unfortunately, this message doesn´t reach Romeo, so he thinks that Juliet is actually dead. With Juliet being the only reason for him to live, he commits suicide. When Juliet awakens, she sees Juliet´s dead body and commits suicide too. Both families reunite in moaning.

I picked this story out of the five, mainly because it´s a classic, so I wanted to look at it a little bit closer. Personally, I don´t really like the story that much, because it seems like a bit exaggerated. Like, she pretends to kill herself, Romeo kills himself, she kills herself. Overall, if you just get into the story, it is pretty interesting, but if you look at it critically, I don´t think the plot doesn´t make much sense. For example, why shouldn´t she simply sneak out of the house and run away with Romeo? She did manage to sneak out to meet Friar Lawrence, so she could probably just stay out. Same with Romeo: he did get to the party earlier, so it shouldn´t be a problem. To pretend suicide right away seems a little… drastic. Also, I can´t quite imagine the two families reuniting that easily after they literally killed each other in the streets. I would imagine that they would blame the other family for the deaths.

To sum it up, the plot is good, but does contain a lot of plot holes.

Prospero, who was the ruler of Milan in Italy, got betrayed by his brother, who took control over the city and ordered some of his soldiers to murder Prospero and his family. He (Prospero) however managed to escape to an island with his daughter Miranda and a spell book. He also found a half-human called Caliban, who he made his slave. They all lived on the Island for twelve years and Prospero’s brother Antonio, who now ruled Milan, had to attend a wedding in Tunisia. On his way back to Italy, he came past the Island and since Prospero still wanted revenge and has gotten rather decent at magic, he caused a big Thunderstorm, with the intention of killing his brother. That didn’t work and the passengers of the ship all landed safely on the Island. However, they got separated into two groups, without knowing, that the other group was still alive. One of the passengers was Ferdinand, a young man who got separated from his father. And (surprise, surprise) he met Miranda and they fell in love at first sight. Prospero didn’t like him at the beginning, but after he forced Ferdinand to work for him by using magic, he trusted the young man and aloud him and Miranda to marry each other, which they naturally immediately did. The half-human Caliban also met two passengers, got drunk with them and plotted to kill his master. When they arrived at his hut though, Prospero distracted them by leaving rich, colorful clothes there. The three drunk men decided to steal them instead of murdering the magician (probably a wise choice). They didn’t get that far though because a group of dogs decided to attack them. When Antonio finally arrived at the hut as well, Prospero told his story to everyone, forgave his brother and the three drunk men, united the separated passengers and they all sailed back to Milan, so that the rightful heir could rule again.

I chose this story mainly, because it has a happy ending and there isn’t such a big bloodbath, like in almost all the other stories. I mean I don’t have a problem with bloodbaths in general (in Stories!!!) but a happy ending like that is just different from the other Shakespeare stories I’ve read so far. Of course there is a happy ending in “Much Ado about nothing” too, but as its title already promises, there is much ado about nothing, a lot of unnecessary drama, which is probably funny for some people, but isn’t really my taste. “The Tempest” also had a bit more magical stuff in it and that is a plus for me, since I’m definitely into the fantasy or sci-fi genre. But that play still wasn’t really my “cup of tea”, not because it isn’t in that genre (I do read other things than fantasy and science fiction), but rather because the plot was really cliché. It probably wasn’t that case back in 1611, when Shakespeare wrote it, but now it is. Especially the falling-in-love-at-first-sight-thing.

Though I have to admit, it still is really refreshing to read or listen to a funny thing with a happy ending and not a lot of unnecessary drama, which could have been avoided by simply talking to each other after stuff like “Hamlet”, “Romeo and Juliet”, “Macbeth” and “Much Ado about nothing”.

What I like about learning English is, that it offers so many possibilities today in society. For example, the most famous movies are filmed in Hollywood so they are in English, and if you want to hear the actors in an original way, it is an advantage to speak English. I personally also think, that English is a very beautiful language. It doesn’t sound harsh or something like that, it is smooth and fun to speak. English is also a big advantage for your business life later. For many jobs, you need to speak that language. But the most important fact is, if you want to learn English, you need to have fun while learning it.
