Hey guys! Welcome to my next entry, I hope you are doing fine!   In school we were talking about the US presidential election. Donald Trump had won the election against his biggest opponent Hillary Clinton. 47,4% voted for Trump, 47,4% of the population voted for Clinton. In my mind these are the most interesting accurate studies. They are taken from forenoon of 9 th November. In these studies you see in terms of gender, age and race. The red colour stands for Donald Trump and the blue colour is for Clinton.     The reason because why he won is that he promised very much and a lot of people believe these promises.  Trump got a lot of votes because he said a lot of things people wanted to hear. I wonder what will happen in the following years. I am pretty sure that he will not be able to build the wall, which should divide Mexico and the US. Beginning it will be one thing though, finishing another. He also would like to “remove” the more...

Hello everyone!   I have not written any blog entry for such a long time, but today I am going to tell you about my intensive English project week in my school. As, you already know, I attend the business school in Perg. Last week it had offered a five day long English course and I took part in  it. The course is called “English in Action”. During this week, we had three teachers, who were from the USA. Sue and Rory usually live in New York City. Suzanne comes from Kentucky. We were three classes and each of them had a main teacher. Ours was Suzanne, she was about 40 years old. She was a teacher for 20 years and now she has been teaching English in Action courses for two years. She told us, that she was the first time here in Austria.   Our main topic was business, of course. We made a big business plan and I think it was really interesting. I have not done this in German yet, that is why it was much more difficult to do it in the English language. Our ...

Fire Brigade   I am member of the voluntary fire brigade Hinterberg. It is one of the three fire brigades in my village Tragwein. The voluntary fire brigade Hinterberg has about 70 commitments a year. There are 195 members in my fire brigade. At the moment we are 15 teenagers in our group at the age of 11 to 16 years. Since last year we have four new coaches. We train especially in spring and summer to prepare for the following season which is during May and July. At the voluntary fire brigade Hinterberg we have three groups of adults. One of them is very successful. During a competition we have to take part at two different types of parcours. They are called attack and relay race. The time of these two competitions will count together and will convert to points. The group with the highest number of points is the winner. When you are 11 years old, you are allowed to make a knowledge test every two years. You have to study things like ranks of the fire brigade mem...

Hey everyone, in our last English lesson we were talking about AFS. For everyone who doesn’t know what AFS is and what it stands for should read my blog entry. I’ll give you some pieces of information now. A lot of students think about participating in an exchange program. But most of them aren’t sure, if it is the right thing for them. AFS means American Field Service and it offers students all over the world a year abroad. The most asked questions for students who would like to go abroad are:   Will I be able to attend classes if I do not know the language well? At first it is a little bit difficult and hard, but after a few weeks most of the exchange students feel comfortable in the new school environment. Will I get a report for my classes abroad? The exchange students will normally get a list from the host school with all the classes they have attended, which is also signed by them. Who will my host family be? How does a life look like at host fam...

Hello everyone! Welcome to my new blog entry. I’ve just studied the “Healthy Eating Guide”. It gives a lot of information about health. Now I will give you a little summary of it. The first thing for a healthy diet is that you should eat lots of kinds of starchy foods. Starchy foods are for example breads, cereals, rice, pasta and potatoes. This kind of food gives you a lot of energy, which you need for a good day. Secondly, you should eat lots of fruits and vegetables. It would be very good for your health, if you ate at least 5 kinds of that every day. You can combine this example in your breakfast. You can eat for example cereals with strawberries, a banana and an orange. It is also mentioned that you should eat more fish. It would be great, if you ate at least two portions of fish in a week. There are very good kinds of fish, for example salmon, trout, herring, tuna, sardines, cod and plaice. Basically what it says is that you should cut down...

Hello everyone! Welcome to my new blog entry. In our last english lesson we watched a video on YouTube. In the interview with Mr. Colbert Donald Trump, one of the candidates for presidency in the USA, told us about his ideas, if he really was elected president. This is what he said. They were talking about immigration. Mr. Trump's plan is to build a wall at the South of Mexico as a border, and in the border there should be a beautiful big door. Through the border and the door, there only should people legally come in. That means, they can only get in with papers. The wall should solve problems, crime and drug traffic. Mr. Trump suggest, that the Mexican should pay for the wall. The interviewers idea is to build two walls. Betweetn the walls, there should be a mart. It should be filled with fire and fireproof crocodiles. The interview gives not so much information, because American interviews are about Entertainment. In my opinion, the wall won't change anyt...
