Howdy!
So, I have among others asked Anja and Hanne to post an entry on this english blog of ours. I think they most have forgotten, but Anita has been so kind posting a interesting text about the foreign students and what they have to go through.
Since the activity more or less has been ..quite bad, I just have to demand people to post an entry - just to take the activity on this blog to an higher level.
Basically, this is just an random selection of students in class 1STA - B and 1IFA.
Malene - Write about your plans for the holidays
Brede - Write about your favourite footballteam
Eli - Subject optional
Maria L - Subject optional
Ingrid - Subject optional
You do not have to write a long and serious entry where you use a couple of hours just checking for gramatical erras. And you are free to use all picture with a creative common license. Also, feel free to give each other tasks to write about, that of coure is optional.
Btw, the one that post the most entries will be "The Writer of April" and will get a special suprise from me.

Foreign student
What is a foreign student? That is a student that chooses to live abroad for a year, or more, to study. Often is this when they are going to collage or the second year of the upper secondary school. I am sure that every one of us have been visiting the current foreign students’ blogs, that are abroad this year: Åshild and Lene. Next year it is our turn: our class can, if they want to, experience to go to another school in another country, meet a new culture, get to know other people and have the time of their life. There are actually six of us that are going to do this, and these are: Bård, Elise, Tobias, Anders, Anja and I.
Bård is most likely going to an international school. This is a program that lasts for two years. He still doesn’t know in which country it will be: maybe Canada, the US, Hong Kong or Swaziland.
Elise, Tobias and Anders are going to the US for one year. They travel with an organisation that is called AFS. They are today, as most of you know, having meetings with other students that are in the same organisation to talk about their year to come.
Anja and I are travelling with Explorius. This is an organisation that mainly sends students to the US for one year, like we are going to. We haven’t had any meeting yet, but in June we are going to Drammen to meet all the other students.
Follow our lives in the big foreign country on our blogs next year: anitasomething.blogg.no, andersrykke.blogg.no, tobiasusa.blogspot.com, anjaiusa.blogspot.com.
Wish us luck!
(hope you are pleased Britt Mari =))

The heart is beating again
- Last Thursday I used my minitalk to talk about our English blog, since the subject was optional. As I told my class, Lisa had made me one of the administrators on the blog - which gives me the "power" to change anything from design to comments. Why? Because I want to bring this blog back to life, owing the fact that I think bloging is extremly fun.
In my minitalk, I asked my class what we could do to improve our blog, and I was impressed and pleased that so many was interested to make an effort.
Some of the students ideas was to give certain people tasks to write about. For an example, I could write a post about my holiday, and then I would tell someone else to write about their lunchbreak. Since writing and posting on this blog has become a duty, we want to remove the feeling that we have to write something long and serious that our teachers may judge our skills on. The good news is, from now on we can write about irrelevant subjects, and it doesn't need to be 2000 words. We can choose to write about something that engange us, something we care about, persons or whatever we want, and of course - something serious.
We need interesting topics, which the stundent themselves shoud engange in. The teachers are now not obligated to give us tasks to write about, but they are free to post whatever they like.
Some of the studenst in 1STA, or was it Tone (?) - I'm not quite sure. But however, they came up with the idea that we could have a monthly award for the best writer/most active writer here on the blog. What do you think about that?
I hope everyone of you are positive to bring our blog back to life, I sure am!
- Just one last question - what do you think about the design? Is it good enough?

A change we need?
The last six months we’ve heard the same lines over and over; “I’m going to change the United States”, “Together we can change the world”. Barack Obama has a simple, yet enormous slogan. Many skeptics have pointed at this constant repeating as “cheap”: “People won’t buy this, they’re to smart.”
As we all have heard recently, Obama has gotten huge attention in television, in newspaper at the internet etc. Especially young people all over the world have gotten interested. This 2008 election has been followed by the whole world. Why has this election become such a huge happening? Is the US’ position in the world the only reason? Sometimes I think; this is not the election of the US president. This is the election of the president of the world.
If Barack Obama gets the power to change the world; what causes and consequences will his presidential period have? How will the world change? What should Barack Obama do? What will Obama do? What kind of action is Obama capable of? What areas will he focus on? Which areas should he focus on? Will he focus on reducing pollution, reducing poverty or improve cooperation between the world countries? Or will the life of the US citizen be the center of his attention? What changes do you think the world needs? What’s the most important action Obama could do?
