- Hi Maiju, how was your day?

- Hi Jay, I've been looking for you. Where have you been?

- I just had an interesting experience. I spent the whole morning at the primary school down the street.

- That sounds exhausting! Kids have so much energy.

- It sure was. But a lot of fun as well.

- What did you teach them?

- I taught them some simple phrases in English. I gave them some sentences to practice. We also played some games together. They were very eager to learn. I was quite impressed.

- Well, I never! Listen to this, Jack!

- Mmmm...

- There is a piece of news in the paper about a female student who sprayed toxic gas into a classroom.

- Why on earth did she do that?

- Well, apparently she wanted to avoid having to take a test. At least that's what the police spokesperson says.

- Did they still have the test?

- No, it was cancelled and the student along with the teacher and five other people were taken to hospital. Luckily no one was hurt and they were all discharged shortly afterwards.

- Have you heard that Stacey got an A for her presentation?

- Do you mean the one she gave in History Three?

- Yes, that's the one. And I thought she explained the facts rather poorly.

- Well, I would've expected her to back up her statements but she didn't.

- And the visual presentation was rather bland.

- How come she got an A for that?

- It must be her previous good work or...

- Ian, hello! Nice to see you. How are you and your new classmate, Jay, getting along?

- Oh, hi, Terry. Not very well. We're supposed to help each other out with the maths exercises but I am always the one who does the sums for him.

- I know how you feel. I used to have a physics partner like that. He never did any of the difficult experiments.

- I'm really fed up with his freeloading, but I just don't know how to tell him that he should get his act together and start working hard.

- Sam! What's up with you and Bianca? Have you guys had a row or something?

- Hi, Dexter! Bianca? I can't stand her anymore. She has such a short fuse that even a little piece of friendly advice makes her fume.

- A-ha... And what exactly did you say to her?

- I told her that if she could be more tolerant and try not to lose her temper so easily, she would be better liked and more popular.

- No wonder she threw a fit. For her popularity is really essential.

- OK, class. You are supposed to hand in your essays on racism tomorrow. I'll give you the rest of the lesson to work on your papers and share your opinions with your classmates. Now get to work!

- Psst, Peter! What essay is he talking about? Racism? Where? What? How?

- Shhh! The assignment we got last week. Mandatory coursework. You remember?

- Damn, it slipped my mind! I've had so much on these past few weeks. I'll have to stay up all night to finish it on time. Oh, poor me!

- Guess who I met at the hallway.

- I can't imagine. The principal?

- Do you remember Mr. Stuart-Forbes?

- That name does ring a bell, but I can't place him.

- He used to teach us history in junior high.

- Oh yes, now I remember. He had dark hair and wore glasses and taught us the most interesting facts about European history.

- I wonder if he is going to stand in for Mrs. Kennedy-Hatchinson who had a nasty fall and will be absent for weeks.

Alem would like to 7.earn his living as an architect when he grows up and he spends his day imagining what he'd build and where. After 8.sharing a pleasant meal, the two holidaymakers return to the hotel for some much-needed rest.

Gab
enjoys being in the woods
was surprised how people opened up
little sister doesn’t speak English
isn’t very motivated to learn Finnish

Laura
interested in artistic things
was concerned about how to cope with lessons at schools
host father is British
likes languages

Miguel
likes water sports
was worried about how to make friends in Finland
somewhat motivated to learn Finnish.

Laura: My name is Laura. I’m from Italy, to be specific, from Sicily. I have been in Finland since August, which is six months, or five. I’m really interested in theater and singing and all the artistic things in general.

Gab: My name is Gab. I’m from Canada, specifically the French part of Canada, so Quebec. I’m eighteen, and I would say my interest would be mostly camping, going out indoors, pretty much anything in the forest I really really like.

Miguel: Hey, I’m Miguel, I’m from Portugal, from Lisbon. I’m seventeen and have been in Finland for six months and I like sports – like especially in the sea – traveling and meeting new people also, and music also. I like music a lot.

Coming to Finland

Laura: I was really anxious, like I was always dreaming about leaving, always, and at least one week before, or two weeks before coming here. Then when I came here it was easier than I expected it to be. I was like “Now, what can I do? How can I do this? How can I make friends? How can I start school?” I was so surprised about these English courses, like I was “How can I follow the lessons, they are in Finnish? Like, I don’t understand a word. Am I going to study it? Am I going to learn it just by listening to it?” Lots of doubts. And now it feels, I feel really comfortable here. We have been adapting after all this time, I guess.

Miguel: I was also really nervous, because I heard that Finnish people are really closed and don’t talk too much. Not that that is a bad thing, but I heard that, and was kind of nervous, that it would be difficult to make friends or that I wouldn’t get along with people that well. But I think, after a while, I got used to it and I think it is a good thing.

Gab: Yeah, me too. I think at first I really thought that they’re gonna leave me totally alone and nobody is ever gonna talk to me and I was like “that’s alright,” at first, but I want to make friends of course. I was surprised that people actually opened up more than I thought. And that’s quite nice.

Communication

Miguel: When I arrived in Finland, I spoke mostly English with my family, especially with my parents and my older brother, because they spoke English. But I have two little brothers who don’t speak English at all so it was more difficult to communicate with them, so I tried to communicate by gestures or by something. But I think with time I got to learn the language better and use it to communicate with them.

Gab: At first, I spoke mostly English with my family because I met them a little bit later, because I had to change my host family. Right now I still do, I do speak a lot of English with them, because it’s quite comfortable and they like to speak English with me. But when I can, and I try, I speak Finnish with them so they can understand me a little bit more. And my little sister doesn’t speak English either, so I have to communicate in Finnish with her. And they know they can speak a bit of Finnish to me, but they have to know that I might not understand, and they need to be able to translate what they have to say to me. But yeah, I’m getting there.

Laura: For me the situation is a little bit different because my host father is from England, so my little sister speaks English so it’s easy to speak English at home with all the members of the family. So, we practically never speak Finnish, even though sometimes I want to speak a little bit Finnish because I want to improve it, just a little bit. But usually it’s mostly English, and with my friends, I could say that I never speak Finnish, like practically never.

Finnish language

Gab: Personally, I think it’s- well I want to learn Finnish of course, but there’s not a lot of motivation there because it’s almost useless as a language, because there’s only this country here who speaks it. And I know that pretty much nobody in Canada who speaks Finnish. Unless I come to university here or something, I’m not really gonna speak Finnish. But I really want to learn it, anyways.

Miguel: I think, because at the beginning, Finnish is such a different language from other languages, like it sounded so different to me. I was curious to learn and to understand that language because it was so different, so I think I got kind of motivated. I think it’s like a super power to know Finnish, because not many people speak it. So in final, for example, Portuguese and Finnish. There are not too many people that speak those two languages together so I think it’s really good. Maybe one day I can use it. I don’t know how the future goes, but yeah.

Gab: I think that applies to most of us, because, well, who speaks Italian and Finnish?

Laura: Yeah but I don’t know, how could I ever use it if I don’t come here after finishing high school. But still, I always like languages, and just for personal culture I would really like to learn Finnish and to be able to speak it or to understand it just a little bit.
