Who am I?

I am a 17 year old girl, attending Sandvika High School in Bærum, Norway. The school focuses a lot on the use of digital implement while studying, so therefore a big part of our day is spent in front of a computer. Even so, a teacher is present at every lecture. The school has organized the days in so called “Lecture- Days” which basically means that each day contains one subject. This forces both the teachers and the students to be creative in their working habits, and how they plan their day. Personally, I think this model is working extraordinary. It gives each subject a better chance to deepen, and finish at the given task in class.

I think that this year of English would be a lot of hard work. Last year, I felt that my vocabulary widened, and I hope this development continues. What could possibly be more important in any language than a rich vocabulary? I also hope that we are able to widen our gazes and learn more about English speaking countries outside the European and North-American continent. America and Britain are both very interesting, don’t get me wrong! I just want to learn about countries like India, Australia, and New Zealand, just to mention a few. A thing I also look forward to is to get some new impulses in literature, and to read books by authors outside the Anglo-American area. Another thing that I would love to do, is to use the blog frequently. To summarize it all up, I expect a year of learning the English language, as well as learning about foreign cultures.
