I wasn’t good at German. ( Ayse, 15 ) What was your former school like? Well, I was at an academic secondary school for four years. e subjects were interesting. I found school easy and my marks were very good. But I’m a practical person, and so my parents and I looked for a school that also teaches you practical skills. I like the workshop lessons very much. ey’re fun! ( Jessica, 14 ) What was your old school like? It was great! It was an old-fashioned secondary school, but with extra sports lessons.
