Very very funny Christian

 

On the question of options go with what you enjoy

 

At the end of the day if you don't enjoy a subject are you going to spend the rest of your life doing something with it

[ubereglu]

It's alright of you to hy-jack my thread Christian as you've really made us all laugh and I e-mailed the first bit about being british to my Sisters and brother! Thought they would find it hilarious too.

 

Back on the subject of options I think I'll do these subjects:

 

Art-It's a close call at the minute between music. But I play the keyboard outside of school and I think that grades for that make it worth taking Art.

History-I really can't stand Geography and the bits in the course you do look really good.

Graphic Design-You get to do cool stuff, like design logos and merchandise for companies!

French-I'm better at that than German and I'm definitely better at speaking it. Though I quite like German.

 

This is on top of the compulsory things which are:

 

English Language,

English Literature,

Maths,

Triple Science,

1/2 GCSE in RS.

And don't forget, learning doesn't end at school - you can always do other things later! Just for fun!

Languages are georgeous! I do French and Italian because German is disgusting, whereas the my two sound beautiful

 

Actually, German spoken properly also sounds just as beautiful as French or Italian Martin.......

 

guten tag martin!

 

quite right! my great uncle was german and a top bloke. he had a very soft voice and it sounded great.

 

german is a far easier language top learn than most aswell.

 

i work a polish lady and i am being taught a word a week in polish. week 4 is upon us and rudely she is off poorly!!!

 

auf Wiedersehen und haben Sie einen netten Tag.
