Each room has a three-digit number, and it’s very hard for me to remember the numbers! I have di erent teachers for every subject. I also have a locker where I can keep some of my stu , but otherwise I have to carry it around with me all day long. I leave home at 7 am and walk 20 minutes to the bus stop. It’s a school bus just for our school. e journey on the bus takes nearly an hour because the bus keeps stopping to pick up other kids that go to my school. (Jeremy from Brighton, UK) I live in a small village in Upper Austria, and I have to get up really early as school starts at 8 am. I attend a private college of business administration in a nearby town, so I have lots of business-related subjects, like accounting and business studies. My favourite subject is information and o‚ce management because I love working on the computer. What I like best of all is the breaks – I can hang out with my classmates. (Nina from Kammer, Austria) I only have to take four or…ve major subjects every year, but I get assignments every day and have to work really hard because I need excellent grades to get into a good college. My teachers are really nice and helpful, and we only have 10–12 students in one class. e only thing I don’t like about school is our school uniform, which looks really nerdy. We usually have lunch in our school cafeteria. e food is quite tasty, and there are lots of di erent things to choose from. In the a‰ernoon, we always do sport. (Sydney from Bryn Mawr, USA) My school is a co-ed school, which means that there are boys and girls. Each lesson lasts 90 minutes, and the atmosphere is really relaxed. Everybody knows each other, and pupils call their teachers by their…rst names, as usual in Finland. We have an art and music room, a computer room, a room for textile work, science and language labs, a library, a gymnasium and a swimming pool. I spend most of my a‰ernoons in the room for textile work because I want to be a designer one day. (Mati from Helsinki, Finland) something that you already knew. something that surprised you. something you think is a good idea. something you don’t like at all.
