Answering
to our own questions, we can say that we don't know what to become yet. Dörthe
likes maths, biology and chemistry. Andrea and Wiebke like languages and history.
In Germany there exist a few different school-forms, and we are on the highest
school form, the gymnasium. After 13 years of school you can make your Abitur.
That's the only way to be able to go to university. Now, if you want to know
more or if you want to answer our questions, please do it!
Andrea, Dörthe and Wiebke, your countryeggs! 11b Jever
Hey
Andrea, Dörthe and Wiebke!
I
think I don’t have to tell you, what kind of school- forms is usual in
Germany! So I will answer your other questions!
Unfortunately
I don’t know what I will become after my time in school. I would like to do
something medical, but I don’t know if my school grades will be good enough.
And if I have the strength to study for a few years. My favourite job would be
pathologist. But the education lasts 10 years! You first have to study medicine
for 6 years (if you don’t have to repeat a term!!) and after that you have to
learn for another 4 years to become a specialist doctor. In my opinion 10 years
is a really long time! I don’t exactly know what to do after school but
fortunately I have a few years left before I have to make a decision. Perhaps I
will even make e free social year to get a little more time!
Ok,
enough of the future. Let’s come to my free time! For me it’s really
difficult to combine school and free time. I spend four days a week in the horse
stable and ride my horse and care for it. Beside this I have to learn for school
and in the times of examinations it’s really hard. The weekend I mostly spend
with my friend/s (and the horse…and homework etc..). My strongest wish is that
my days would have 48 hours! Then I could go to school, to the horse, spend time
with my friend/s and for a change, I would get enough sleep! But I think that
wish will never come true!

Hello
Dörthe, Andrea and Wiebke!
We go to the same class so I think I can’t give you new information about our
school-system. After school I want to study at university to become a German
Teacher. I want to show the students that it could be very interesting to read a
book and to feel what the persons in the book feel. But most I want to show the
younger students, that learning Grammar can be sometimes nearly kind of funny.
Before I can study I’ll have to make my Abitur and sometimes it’s very hard
to combine school, homework and free time. (The longer you go to school the more
you have to work for it.) Sometimes it’s hard work to find an hour for your
friends or free time activities – like sports, art or music. School often
doesn’t finish before three o’clock in the afternoon, and until you’re at
home it’s nearly four o’clock. After that you have to eat something and to
do your homework, which could take one to two hours sometimes. If it’s a very
hard day you also have to learn for the test your teacher wants to write the
next day – also one to two hours lost. After such a hard day you aren’t
interested any more in meeting friends or doing sport. The only thing you are
interested in is your couch and your TV. But I have to say that not all our
schooldays work like this. Sometimes school can be very funny – and I do not
only mean the time between the lessons. There are lessons you nearly had to cry
about a funny face the person next to you made or about a stupid sentence
someone in class tells about the way your teacher moves in front of the board
while he or she is writing something down. Maybe it sounds kind of crazy but if
you see school lessons in this way it could be sometimes more interesting to
look into the classroom than to look at the teacher. After all you shouldn’t
forget learning. Believe me it’s better for your grades!
So, hold your eyes open
Laura from Flirting-line, 11b, Jever
Hey Laura,
thanks for your mail! I was surprised: you want to become a German teacher? I
hadn't know that yet! Isn't that funny, we have been friends for more than 2
years now and still don't know everything about each other. I don't know what to
become, but as you know, my favourite subjects are English, history and French
and perhaps a bit of biology but as you know I couldn't answer one whole
question in the last exam and I'm really not good in this subject. It sounds
funny that you want to teach to the children that school can be funny, there are
too few teachers who really achieve this. Most of the teachers are boring or too
difficult. (Don't want to say any name, but you probably know who I mean!) I
agree when you say that school can be funny! But I'm always happy when the
vacations begin!
Bye, Wiebke, 11b, Jever
Hi!!!
At
the moment I could say that I have understood the educational system in Germany J
However, I have always known I want to study onat a university, because I mostly
enjoy my time in school. So studying gives me the possibility of doing it for
about the next 5 years too, besides on a university I will be able to learn
stuff that really excites me. The problem is – I still don’t know exactly,
what I want to become and what kind of job do I want to do. But don’t think I
am hopeless J,
I just haven’t decided yet.
I
suppose, it’s quite complicated to plan free time activities, when you’re at
school until 15.00 o’clock and later have to do homework and so every day...
At the end you just spend your time with some kind of soap operas... I always
plan my activities for the evenings and they definitely include lots of sports,
music, reading and of course – TV.
At
the beginning the educational system in Germany was completely different for me.
I was surprised about the relationship between students and teachers and about
their rights to influence the lesson – I mean, the opportunity to express your
own opinion. I have grown up in a system, in which you must stand up, when you
see the teacher coming into the classroom and in which your obligation is to
write down everything, what he or she says (but it’s not that bad as it might
look to youJ
) we just get the most important notes for written tests.
Evija,
11b, Jever
Hey
Evija,
thanks for your mail! I'd really like to know more about your country! It sounds
interesting that your school is very different to ours. I don't think that it's
hard! When someone is grown up in that way, it's normal for him. And look at you:
it must be a good system, you're really good in school! What are your favourite
subjects? I have a question: You said that you aren't allowed to say you're
opinion in the lessons. Aren't you allowed to say a word? Or did I understand it
wrongly and you only give answers and work with texts without saying your
opinion? I'd like to hear from you!
Wiebke, 11b, Jever
Hi
Evija,
At
first thanks for your mail. There were lots of interesting points of the
educational system in Lettland. E.g. the thought of standing up when you see the
teacher is really impressive because we don’t have to act by these rules.
Furthermore it’s hard work to write down everything that your schoolmates say
although I think the basic idea is sensible.
The
decision of what to become is not so easy. It has to be well-thought-out because
the decision influences your whole future. In my opinion it’s really important
to gain experiences after taking one’s school-leaving exam. You have got to
decide one way or the other. I
think I will do something else than continuing education at a university because
I’m interested in picking up experiences. So it could be that I'll do a
voluntary social year.
You’re
right when you say that it’s difficult to combine school time and free time.
When you do any sport activities in the evening you feel better because you have
the chance to compensate for school time. I need some time after school to
relax. After that I do my homework. In the evening I watch TV, I read something
or I listen to music.
Andrea, 11b, Jever
Hey
Andrea, Dörthe and Wiebke!
It’s
definitely a little bit strange to write an e-mail to you, my classmates while
you sit next to me, because it would be absolutely easier to talk to you. But
the fact that I really like your topic school
and free time makes me write to you nevertheless.
In
my opinion, school education is one of the most important things in your whole
life although it definitely contains a lot of work to do, for example learning
for special exams and doing a lot of homework. It’s true that the combination
of school and free time is frequently very difficult. But nevertheless your
school time has in my opinion, like your childhood or your adolescence, an
important significance in your life because it’s the period when you get
educated. In school, you acquire a more or less good knowledge in English and
French, in maths, natural sciences and history, and everything you learn in
school is the foundation of your further life. Furthermore, you mustn’t forget
that school does not only teach you something about geography, chemistry or
history, school also teaches you to work in a team, to behave in fair way and to
improve your self-confidence. Everything you learn in school is the basis of
your further choice of occupation because you get to know your great abilities
and your weaknesses. In my view, school is an institution that helps you to find
your way towards your further occupation. By showing up your abilities, school
makes your decision what you are going to do, whether you are going to study at
university or whether you are going to make a vocational education, a lot easier.
That’s why I think that a very good school education is definitely a great
advantage no matter what you are going to do.
I
myself am going to study at university because I think it’s the only way to
get a good job nowadays. I really would like to study graphics in order to
become a graphic designer in a publicity agency. Unfortunately, there is a
hopeless outlook for that kind of job and that fact makes me feel a little bit
sad because it is absolutely my favourite job since I’m pretty good at drawing.
But nevertheless I keep on holding onto my aims, because what would life,
whether in school or in an occupation, look like if we didn’t hold onto our
aims..?
Well,
I hope you enjoy reading my opinion to your topic, at least a little bit…
Caro,
11b, Jever
Hey
you
I want to write something to your topic because it sounds interesting.
I have a little plan what I want to do after school. At first I want to go to
Spain for one year to work there. I’m not sure if I should work as an host for
kids ( I think it’s a hard job, but surely it’s interesting and funny) or
I’ll make a practical course in a big hotel as a travel purchase woman. I want
to go to Spain because I want to learn the language and I think it’s a good
experience. I hope that I can go this way. When I come back to Germany I’m not
sure what I’ll do. Either I’ll make an apprenticeship as a travel purchase
woman or I’ll study tourism. But I prefer the apprenticeship, because I
finally want to make my own money. I don’t want to be dependent on my parents
anymore. Okay, after my apprenticeship I’ll move together with my best friends
Ina and Svenja. We want to live in a big city like Hamburg, Bremen or Köln. I
hope that it will be a funny time. I’ve got many dreams but I don’t think
that all of them will come true but I hope it. Maybe I want to work in a foreign
country, because I like the sun and I like to meet new people and a new culture.
Okay, now I want to write to your next point – combining school and free time.
At this time it’s very hard to combine school and free time, because I’ve to
learn much for my exams because I don’t want to repeat this grade. But at the
week-ends most of the time I can do what I want. Mostly time I meet friends, go
in discos or chill alone and watch tv: Week-ends and holidays are very relaxed.
I love these days. I think today it’s very important to have a good school
education, but that’s not everything. You have to be friendly and
self-conscious to be something in this world. Sometimes you need just luck to
get a good job, sometimes you need a very hard education to get it. That’s the
unfairness in our world, but we have to accept it. I don’t need to describe a
normal school day to you because you’re in my class ;)
I hope you can understand what I wrote because it’s hard to translate the own
future ;)
Nice wishes from your classmate Verena, 11b, Jever
Hey Verena,
thanks for your mail! It sounded very interesting what you want to do after
school. It's a good opportunity to go to a different country, I like this
thought! I heard you want to go to the Hauswirtschaftsgymnasium after this year,
is that true? It would be good for you because you could learn some Spanish!
Even though the Abitur is the same for them and for us. Some people think that
it's easier for them now but when they make their Abitur they'll get many
difficulties. I don't know if that's true. I think it's good that you know what
you want to do after school, as I don't know it yet. And it really could be that
your wishes come true because tourism is very important. Why didn't you go to
Spain (or a different country) this year like Jonas or Hanna? Now I think I
should have done it! Hope to hear from you
Wiebke, 11b, Jever
Hi Wiebke
I'm
not sure if I should go to the Hauswirtschaftsgymnasium after this year. My
grades aren't so good and I think I have to replay this school year on this
school too. I didn't go to Spain or a different country this year because I
think I'm not mature enough yet to go alone in a different country. I need my
friends because they're very important to me and when I'm alone I'm often very
shy. I think I have to learn much to go to another country, but it's my dream to
do it some time.
When
I could take my best friend I would go to another country immediately, but alone?
That's very difficult. But I think it must be a very good experience. I am
excited to see how Hanna, Gerrit and Jonas will have changed when they come
back.
Okay
nice wishes Verena, 11b, Jever
Free
time and fun are more important than school!?
I
want to write something about school and free time. You often ask “Should I do
my homework or should I meet my friends?” Naturally school is very important
to have a safe future. You can only survive when you learn reading and writing.
But particularly in your childhood it’s very important to play with your
friends, your sister or brother. When you are three years old you have to go to
the kindergarten. The children can play and
they also learn something. The parents bring up their children teaching. If you
are in school for six hours you can’t do your homework after school. You have
to do something else before you do it. But it’s important to learn for school,
because it’s easier to get better grades. Everybody has a subject he or she
likes very much. Many pupils like languages and others like something like math
or sciences. It’s very difficult to go to school and meet your friends and to
have a hobby. If someone asks “ Fun or school?” In school you have lots of
fun, because you are together with your friends. A few lessons are really funny
and sometimes you make a tour with your class. The teachers have to make the
lessons interesting. Only if pupils want to learn something they have fun and
like school.
In
my opinion you can be good in school if you have enough free time. Fun is
everywhere. But you have to know how to combine school and free time. When I
come home at first I eat something warm and then I listen to music or something
like that, because I can’t do my homework in the afternoon, but in the evening
it’s sometimes too late and I’m too tired.
Dörthe,
11b, Jever
Hi
Andrea, Dörthe and Wiebke,
Our normal school days are not so interesting. Every day we are at school from
7:20 to 2:30. Our school is located in ancient city of Rey, 7 kms south
of Tehran, but most of the students live in Tehran. So we to school come by
school bus. We have two breaks and lunchtime each day. During the lunchtime that
takes 30 minutes we both eat lunch and say prayers. We have four sessions per
day. Each session lasts 90 minutes. Most days we have tests, exams or have to do
so much homework. That's why we have little free time.
These days we are so busy both at home and at school. At home we are getting
ready for our New Year Celebration. At school we are holding our annual
exhibition.
Every year "A Science and Computer Exhibition", showcasing of students'
projects in literature, art, theology, social studies, biology, chemistry,
physics, mathematics and computers is held in our school. The exhibition is open
to the public and gives the students a good chance to present their work to
their schoolmates, families, students and teachers from other schools, local
officials and the community at large. Students work in teams throughout the year
to carry out their projects. We have attached the international projects poster
and some photos we took the day before the exhibition when we were getting ready.
Do you have such exhibition in your school?
Bye, Nasim, Lida & Ghazaleh, Tehran
Hi
Nasim, Lida and Ghazaleh
Thank
you for your mail. I find it's very interesting to get to know something about
your life. Making exhibitions is super. We make sometimes a week with lots of
projects. All the teachers lead a different project. And the pupils can pick
what they like. You can do some kinds of sports, learn something about other
countries, build and design. On the last day of this week all projects are
presented. Parents, grandparents, sisters and brothers and so on have the chance
to look at what we did. I like these weeks very much.
Do
you know what you want to do after school? I don't know. I like math, natural
sciences and I often design something. We had a practical training last autumn.
I was in a kindergarten and it was a fantastical experience. I know I want do
something with children after school. Can you do practical trainings, too? I'm
very interested in that.
Dörthe
Wilken, 11b, Jever
Hi
Nasim, Lida and Ghazaleh,
Thanks
very much for your mail, it was interesting to get to know what your school is
like. Our school day is a bit different. We have six to eight lessons a day and
every lesson is 45 minutes long, so sometimes we are in school till 3 o'clock.
But that changes from day to day, it matters what lessons we have and how many.
We are in grade 11 now and that's why we often have eight hours. My brother
attends the same school, he is in grade 8 and he has only six lessons and for
him school's out at 1 o'clock. We don't have a special lunch break but some
other breaks in which we can eat what we buy at a kiosk or what we brought from
home. And we don't say prayers either. Our school is situated in the middle of a
little city called Jever but a lot of the students come from the surroundings,
like me and some of my friends. So we have to go by bus about 45 minutes every
day, and that's very long.
We
don't have those exhibitions, but I like the idea to show my parents and friends
from other schools what we have done in our school. We are writing exams and
tests, too, so we also have only little free time when we finish school in the
afternoon because we have to learn and we have a lot of homework. So there's
only little time for free time activities like sports, only in the evenings and
I think that's very sad because when we sit in school half the day we can't move
and we don't have any compensation even though we have two lessons of sport
every week, but that's not enough for me.
Nice
wishes, greetings
Wiebke from Jever
Hi
Wiebke,
Thanks so much for your mail. I think you spend much time in school like us.
Sometimes it’s boring. But if you work on different projects, it will be
pleasure.
One of our subjects is programming with computer, and we program some different
games. It’s so interesting. Also 4 hours in the week, we have English and in
this time we work on international projects. It is amusement.
Most of my classmates want to be engineer. And I want to be an electric engineer.
Because I love working on electrical projects, and it s one of my hobbies.
Best wishes Lida
:smile: :eek: :pbpt, Tehran
School. What is it? Is at a building parents send their children to to be alone?
No, I don’t think so. School is very important for our future because in our
era the humans are very intelligent and you need to be so too if you want to
live a luxurious life. Whoever doesn’t want to live without thinking about
financial problems? I guess everyone and for that you need to work hard to get a
good education and then a job that you dream about.
In all of that I personally like school. I know when I’m ill and I have to
stay at home for some days, I don’t know what to do. After watching TV for
half an hour it becomes boring and I wish I could be at school. It is normal if
you don’t like some lessons. E.g. me, I don’t like art, because it doesn’t
interest me and I will never need it for anything. But I love math, physics and
English, because first I understand nearly everything and I need it for my job.
I want to do something with the computer, so I spend most of my time on this and
if you learn some subjects, you understand that stuff and it starts being fun.
After the eleventh grade we can choose on our own what we want to learn, so in
twelfth grade you can only have ten subjects. In all there are thirteen classes.
I would like to learn as well geography and biology, but when I spend a lot of
time for this I won’t have the time for the subjects which are more important
to me so I decided not to do those subjects in twelfth grade and after twelfth
grade I will have only six subjects plus sport.
My expectation in school is just that the teachers are kind and can explain the
theme we do well. But teachers are only the one thing, the other are the
students. They need to be kind too, so that everyone can have fun in school and
needn’t say ‘Oh good tomorrow is again a horrible day in school’. But I
can proudly say that in our school the students are very kind and if you want to
you can become good friends with everyone.
My life after school? I often thought about it. First I wanted to quit school
after the eleventh grade and to start a development, because in my opinion I’m
too old for school, in this summer I’ll become 19 years old and so I’m the
oldest one of my class so it’s sometimes embarrassing when I think that I’m
two years older than some others from my class. When I think about some old
friends of mine, they had children and family at my age and I have just to do
school till I’m 21 and it means without a lot of money. I work in my free
time, but the money isn’t enough for a car or some other serious things. So I
have to wait till I finish school. But when I finish 13th grade I’ll have a
very good education and good chances for my dream job so you should reflect very
well before quitting school.
Free time and school, what’s more important? When I was younger, at age of
fourteen to sixteen, free time was more important to me than school and it
reflected on my grades. But now I understood that school is more important for
my future. Just if I don’t have very much time to my friends, I recognize that
my grades started becoming better. So I try to learn as much as I need and on
the weekends I can spend time with my friends and sometimes during the week if I
finish learning earlier. In all of that you can say that you maybe won’t have
very much free time now but you will have a good life later so think very good
about what to do with school! A very good example of my life is: I have a friend,
he’s one of my best friends, who didn’t do anything in school, but he has
all the free time in the world. He didn’t get a graduation. Now he’ll become
22 years old and he is still living with his parents without a job, without
earning any money, without a car and just spending every day alone at home
because all the others are attending school and learn or some are already
working.
So he just has something to do when we have time. I think that I don’t want to
live in that way. So now I’ll better learn and will earn my own money later,
not having to live with my parents without any money!
Alex, 11b, Jever
School
When you enter school you are eager to study but gradually the amount of
subjects is enlarged and you even dop not have time to sigh!!! You HAVE TO learn
the subjects you are NOT interested in -it's bad,I think!Better to choose the
subjects you like.As for me:physics,maths,history,English.(Bahtiyor)
As for me school is a boring although necessary thing-I go there just because
it's better than to stay at home alone.And anyhow I manage to get 5 at my
lessons easily not doing anything special for it (I mean constant reading and
writing).Here our education is free of charge and maybe that's why we do NOT
appreciate it and even sometimes our teachers had to forca us to visit school
and stay at all lessons-it maybe also happens because we have no possibility to
choose subjects we need and like+.What about you?Do you have such a possibility
and do you have BAD"students at your schools and why they behave them
badly?How long each lesson last and isn't it difficult for you to stay calm
during it?In our lyceum -it's 80 minutes .By the way,do you get scholarship at
schools or sth like this?In Uzbekistan students got money for their studying in
the Universities and Institutes.We also have the syastem of grants(our
state pays for us )and education on contracts(those who got small points on
entering exams but has got money-they make a contract and study,although the
payment is rather expensive for many people here.) What about you?Do you
have an opportunity to study free of charge or education must be payed by all
means?
Lena, Namangan
Hi Lena!
Thank
you for your interesting mail. You only told about your school, what do you do
in your free time? Our lessons are 45 minutes long. On a day we have between 4
and 8 lessons. I find it's really hard. Sometimes I'm home at 16 o'clock and
that's late, because I have to do lot of homework and I have hobbies, too. I'm
in the 11th grade and we
have to do subjects, which we like and don't like. I like maths and natural
sciences like biology and chemistry. In the 12th
grade you can choose your subjects, but you must have a certain number of
lessons. This system is kind of complicated. We have old and young teachers, but
I can't say who is better. We often have free lessons, because the teachers are
ill and we don’t havet enough. Do you want to study at university? I don't
know. Probably I’ll doe at first a training for a job. Perhaps I’ll study
after it. These days you don't know what is better for your future!!!

Wilken 11b, Jever
Hello Dear Friends,
In my country schools are traditional ones. There are 4 different school-forms:
public, private, model and schools for training exceptional talents. Ours is the
last one. People go to school and study without any variety. Schools don't have
enough facilities, but teachers are excellent and we can make friend with them.
Some schools have strict rules and it's difficult for students to obey them.
Physical education and art aren't important subjects at our schools.
Most of the students want to go to university after school to get a high
position in the society.
My homework doesn't let me have enough free time but I do my homework while
watching TV and it makes me happy.
At a normal school day first we have a quick program in the morning: we read
Quran and do some exercises. Sometimes our morning program is longer and we have
to listen to boring speeches. Then we go to class and study. We have two 15
minute breaks when we can g o to the yard and play. At 12:30 we eat lunch and
pray. We go to class at 1 o'clock and leave school at 2:30. We have to put on
the uniform and we can not do anything we like.
Bye! Zeynab Sadat Miraghaee; Tehran
Hey Zeynab and Shekofteh,
first
of all: thanks for your mail! I guess (and hope) that you're in the same class
so I’ll write to you both. When not, please tell me! One first question: What
is Quran? I've never heard of it! We don't have such a program in the morning,
we go to school (most of the students by bus like me) and we start to study. We
have 6 or 8 lessons a day, that takes time from 7:45 to 1 o'clock or 3 o'clock.
You see, we don't have a lot of free time either. We don't have lunch break and
we don't say prayers, we eat what we have brought from home in shorter breaks or
we have the possibility to buy something at the kiosk. It's cool that you can
make friends with your teachers; we have only some really good teachers but some
are boring and you learn nothing. We don't have to wear uniforms, and most of
the students hate the idea to wear it. I was shocked when I read that only one
tenth of all of the students can study at university in your country! What do
they do when they can't go there? Can they repeat the exam one year later? In
Germany nearly all of the students can go to university, but a lot of them break
off when they get to know how hard it is and when they think that they can't
manage it any more. I don't know yet what I want to do when I have finished
school, but I think I first go to a different country for a year and go on
learning or working then.
Bye
bye,
Wiebke

Dear friends!
I'm Shekofteh from Iran. I do not have much free time because I study my lessons
and do my homework at home. I go to school from 7:30A.M. to 2:30P.M. . I study
in one of the best schools in Iran. I like biology.
I would like to study medicine at the university. It is one of my ends in life.
In our country nearly all the students want to study at the university after
high school. So they have to take part in the most decisive competition in their
life, the university entrance exam. Every year more than 1500000 people take
part in the university entrance exam, but only less than one-tenth of them can
study at the public universities and it is very bad. There are also few private
universities, but they are not as high-quality as public ones. Furthermore the
tuition is so high.

Hello Wiebke, Dörthe and Andrea
I
do not know what I want to do after school. But I want to do some practical
things. I don't like it to sit a whole day long in some kind of offices. I think
it is too boring for me. I like it to work outside and practically.
The
question how I try to combine free time and school is easy to answer. When I
arrive at home after school I go to lunch and after that my free time begins. I
need some time in the afternoon to relax and to enjoy nice weather. Only when I
have done these things I can concentrate on school and do my homework.
In
my opinion school education is very important today, because without a good
school education it is really difficult to study at a university. And when you
want to study in the future you will have some good advantages to get a good
job, too.
In
the end I want to say that everyone can find some free time between the work and
that a lot of people are only working for get some free time.

Hi
Soenke,
At first thanks for your mail.
Your attitude is very interesting and we think about it in the same way. After
we had read the last sentence we were lost in thoughts. On the one hand people
work to earn money and not to have free time. Your point of view shows us a
better attitude to work. Free time is like a compensation next to school. In the
afternoon it’s very important to do something else than doing homework.
We don’t have any plans for the time after our graduation. Perhaps we do a
university course, we work a year abroad or we do a voluntary social year.
Furthermore we could do an apprenticeship. We look into the future which shows
us the way we have to go.
A good education is important to earn money because it’s very difficult to get
a job nowadays. 20 years ago it was no problem to earn money, because the
economy was not so bad but today lots of people are unemployed.
In our opinion you have to fight for your wishes and aims.
Bye, bye Andrea and Dörthe, 11b, Jever
