Well, a few months of English have past, and in this task I’m going to do some reflections about how the English has been so far.
First I have to say that I think it’s kinda stupid that we just have English once a week. I actually like the English subject, but I wish we could have it another time than the last two hours on Tuesday. This is a really long and exhausting day, and I don’t think I’m the only one to be a bit tired and not so focused at the end of that thay! But enough about that.
As I said, I like the English subject, and I know that it is very important to learn English! It is important to be able to understand and speak English, especially when you are travelling to other countries. It is also a good thing to know some English when to watch movies and listen to music.
I think the English so far has been good, and we have done a lot of different things. We have been reading, writing, watched a movie, had group work and learn some grammar. We have also been blogging, something I was a bit uncertain about at first. But I actually think it has been a good way to work with English! But when I look true my blog now, I can see that some off my tasks are been a bit short..
After Christmas I’m hoping to improve both my writing skills and my oral skills. Especially my oral skills! I always get nervous when we have presentations in front of the class, and this is something I have to work with. I also have to get better at speaking English, and pronouncing the words right. When it comes to writing I have to improve the grammar, and I have to get better at writing stories and things like that.

TASK 3: CANADA
Canada is on the continent of South America, and is the second largest country in the world (9 984 670 square km). The country has two official languages, English and French.
Over 33 million people live in Canada, and the capital city is Ottawa.
Canada became a country in 1867, and the first people who lived there were the Aborigines. The native people did invent one of the biggest sports in Canada, Lacrosse. The sports play an important part in the lives of Canadians, and Ice Hockey is very popular, and has been called “more of a religion than a sport”.
They have a lot of different animals in Canada, over 209 species. Many of them are very uncommon, like polar bears, caribou, bison, walruses and skunks. Canada’s national animal is the beaver.
The reason I chose to write about Canada, is because I didn’t know much about it and it sounded like an interesting country.

DAY OFF FROM SCHOOL
Today we have the day off from school, and it couldn’t be better! I slept until half past ten, because I had an appointment with the dentist half past twelve. I didn’t take very long, and my teeth looked good!
After I got home I have just been relaxing, and watching Desperate Housewives and One Tree Hill. My absolute favourite TV-series!
Yesterday I attended an hour at Elixia with Amina, Maiken, Marie and Fia. We attended something called yogalates, which is a type of body and mind training. It was very good training, but since there were a lot of movements I’m not used to, my muscles are very stiff today!

WORKOUT AND SHOPPING
School today was okey, and we could go home about half past one. I went strait to Elixia with Amina, and we worked out for about an hour. Then I went home to take a shower, before we went to Fredrikstad to do some shopping! We went to Torvbyen, a big shopping mall. It has just been reopened, and they have a lot of new stores. They have also finally gotten Gina Tricot, which is my favorite store! I bought a Christmas gift for my mom, and some more calendar gifts for my sister. Amina bought herself a nice sweater from Gina!

OSLO TRIP AND LUCIA CELEBRATIONS
I didn’t have time for any blogging yesterday, because we got home very late. But we had a really nice trip to Oslo, and I bought a sweater, a jacket, a pair of shoes and a scarf. We also went to look at the Christmas Marked, and ate on Peppes.
Today was my sister’s turn to get a calendar gift, and she got a toilet map. :-) I got a pair of earrings yesterday btw!
School was actually kinda nice today. We did some tasks at the beginning of the day, and after that we baked and made cacao! We did it as an early Lucia celebration, because we are learning about Santa Lucia and traditions.
Now I’m just sitting in the sofa with my computer, and watching some Desperate Housewives episodes. I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do later today, but I might work out with Karola and Amina.
This is some of my favorite christmas songs at the moment:
All i want for christmas is you - Mariah Carey
Santa Baby - Britney Spears
My only wish - Britney Spears

1. DECEMBER
Anette got the first calendar gift today! It was a sweet Hello Kitty lipgloss. Tomorrow is my turn, and I wonder what she has bought for me.
Now I’m sitting at school writing some tasks about dance and movement for children. Later today I’m going to workout at Elixia with Amina, and do some homework. We have a lot of homework these days, and I’m really looking forward to the holiday!
I’m also going to watch the Christmas calendar on TV :- )
Tomorrow I’m taking the train to Oslo with my mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and cousins. We are going to visit one of my cousins who go to school there, and of course do some shopping. I will write more about that tomorrow when I get home.
