Living in Norway

Living in Norway

I have never won money in a lottery before, however the chance of being born in Norway is about the same as winning in a lottery. So, maybe I have won the most important lottery. I feel very lucky to be living in Norway. It is for good reasons Norway has been elected to be the best country in the world to live in many times. I, and most other people in Norway get everything we need of food and clothes. The economy in Norway is really stable compared to for instance China and other countries in the world. The people in Norway are lucky to live here.

To continue with, everyone in Norway has the right to go to school, and it is free. We have good and educated teachers. Moreover we have tons of school subjects to choose between, so that everyone can find something that suits them.

Project Lesotho.

Project Lesotho.

My English teacher has a good friend from Lesotho. This friend is a teacher as well, in her country, Lesotho. Lesotho is a very poor country, therefore the school she works in does not have so much resources as for instance computers, internet etc. In the school they only have to or three computers all together. Moreover they do not have electricity in the school, therefore the teacher must take the computers home and charge them there and bring them to school the next day. Unfortunately they do not have internet either. Therefore our class decided that we wanted to raise money for this school. The money we raise is going to pay for internet to the school. It is a really exciting project, because if we succeed with raising all the money we need, we might get to for instance skype with the students in Lesotho. The cultural difference between Norway and Lesotho is huge; therefore we have much to learn from each other. Moreover three students from “international English, Sadvika vgs” get the chance to travel to Lesotho in approximately April 2012. I am of course going to apply to be one of the tree students, because I can’t miss out on this one time opportunity. I am sure it is going to be an amazing trip for the lucky three students who get to go!
