Ma passion, c’est la Formule Un. J’adore les voitures. Dimanche, je regarde la Formule Un à la télé. Mon conducteur préféré, c’est Lewis Hamilton. Lewis est cool, intelligent et sportif. Il habite en Suisse. Lewis est Champion du Monde de la Formule Un. C’est très très très très bien!

Uniforms at Bernstein High ???!!!


-On Thursday the 24th of September we wore a uniform (black and white) because we wanted to see how it is when we are British pupils. And it was very funny!

Meet Marina...

Hello !

My first name’s Marina and my family name’s HILS. I was born on the twenty-second of February, nineteen ninety-five. So, I’m fourteen.

I’ve got a five-year-old brother and a twenty-year-old sister. I’ve also got two dogs and a rabbit. I study at Bernstein High School.

I’m tall and I’m of medium build. I have green eyes and long straight blond hair. I’m extremely optimistic, a little bit nosy, very outgoing, quite flexible but impatient and all my friends say I’m caring.

Every Tuesday and Friday, I play basketball from six pm to eight pm. Every day except Wednesday and Sunday, I get up at half past seven.

I’m fond of basketball. I enjoy going to parties, listening to music and surfing to the Internet. On Saturday, I like rushing out to the latest movie or concert. I dislike intolerance, irresponsibility, dishonesty and impoliteness. I hate vegetables.

I can’t live whithout my music because I play bass and guitar. Later, I would like to have a job in music or in cinema.

Now, tell me about your life !

About our European Section

In the European Section, we learn lots of interesting things. It’s not a subject like another because we help each other and we work together.

Last year, first we spoke about the British Isles and every group had to do a presentation about a British Isles country. Then we made a little session about the Royal Family. After that, Christmas came and we started to speak about Australia: Did you know that in Australia, Father Christmas is in a swimsuit? This session was very funny. We talked about Australia's discovery (James Cook, 19th April 1770). And then we came to a very good subject: the aboriginals and their traditions.

Some of us did a dreamtime story, that's an aboriginal story about how the world was created. And the others had to do a travel brochure about Australian's different states.

On the one hand, the travel brochure presentations was very interesting and we wanted to go to Australia; and on the other hand the dreamtime stories were super too! You can read them on the blog.

Conclusion the European section is a great subject

I’m shy, but curious. I’m hardworking, and easygoing. I’m impatient, and I’m quiet honest.

Every Wednesday, I go to the swimming-pool. I swim approximately one hour. Every Saturday, I go to Strasbourg with my family, to see my sister; she’s 18 and she lives there. Often, on Saturdays evenings, I see my friends. We go to parties, or we go camping, and we eat together.. I have loads of fun with them !

I like to ride my bike, I like going shopping, travelling, listening to music, and reading. I enjoy cooking too. I like to play on my computer.. I couldn’t live without my techy stuff, and my books.
During my summer holidays, I went to the South of France. My holidays were great, because I saw old friends. I swam in the sea, I went snorkelling, I went shopping.. But I didn’t fall in love ! I wanted to go watterskiing, but I didn’t.

Later, I would like to be a teacher, or a nurse.
