in the city where the university is located. I would also like to have information about the tuition costs, accommodation and the cost of living in the city.

# Would you liketo be an elementary school teacher? Why? / Why not?
I think that I would like to be an elementary school teacher. There are several reasons why I find this job attractive. First of all, it is a very rewarding job. Besides that, it is a job that is challenging and doesn't lead to boredom easily. last but not least, teachers have long holidays which give them time to get away from their every day routine and recharge their batteries.
# Which of your teachers really inspired and motivated you? In what way?
My French teacher Mrs Slattery was an inspirational teacher and motivated her students to learn French because she tried to teach the language in a fun and enjoyable way. She didn't stick to the coursebook, but would devise various interesting group activities which required us to work together.

إجابات مقترحة
# What kind of extracurricular events does your school/ college organise?
My school organises various extracurricular events. We have debating contests and field trips throughout the year, and writing contests, sports competitions and art
exhibitions at the end of the school year.
# Have you ever participated in any of them?
Yes, of course. I've participated in almost all of them.
last year, I even won first prize in the writing contest.
2. CHOOSING BETWEEN OPTIONS
إجابات مُقترحة
# What are the options?
Well, the first option is to have an art exhibition, using technology and the second option is to have a sports competition.
# What are the advantages/disadvantages of each option?
The art exhibition is indoors, so we won't have to worry about the weather conditions. In the other hand, this
event may be more expensive to organise because of the material which will need to be bought. Also, the
students will have to submit their work ahead of time so that everything can be ready on the day of the event.
The sports competition can help raise money for the school by selling refreshments.
This way, more events can be held in the future.
Nevertheless, the sports competition is outdoors, so if
the weather is bad, the event will have to be cancelled.
Lastly, I think that both events are popular with
students. The art exhibition will appeal to students who
are into art, and the sports competition will appeal to
students who are into sports.
# Which activity have you chosen? Why?
I've chosen the sports competition because I believe that
more students will be interested in it. Also, it is cheaper
to organise and the school will even be able to raise
money for future events. Of course, due to the fact that
it will have to be held outdoors, the day it will take place
on will have to be chosen very carefully so as to avoid
bad weather. The art exhibition sounds very interesting,
but it will be more expensive to organise. Also, perhaps
students won't be able to submit their work in time and
that may create various problems.
3. FURTHER DISCUSSION
إجابات مُقترحة
# Do you think that extracurricular activities are important? Why / Why not?
I believe that extracurricular activities are very important. Students can choose an activity which they
are interested in. This way they can develop a talent or acquire further knowledge on a specific topic. Each
activity may offer something different to students. Some activities can help encourage creativity, while others can cultivate cultural awareness and broaden a student's horizons.
# In your opinion, which extracurricular activities are most interesting? Why?
In my opinion, sports activities are the most interesting. Students can work out while enjoying themselves. They
may play a team sport and learn about the importance of teamwork, or play individual sports and learn how
to cope by themselves. In both types of sports they also learn how to follow rules while having fun.

# What kind of events does your school/university organise?
My school organises events on special occasions. For example, when students graduate, there is a special graduation ceremony. My school also organises various competitions, such as writing competitions.
# Which is your favourite? Why?
Although I haven't graduated yet, I think the graduation ceremony is my favourite. Everyone is very happy when they graduate; students feel like they have achieved one of their goals in life and look forward to future accomplishments. At the same time, students are also sad to be leaving friends and teachers behind. After the ceremony, students celebrate with their friends and family and everyone enjoys themselves.

Dear Martin,
Hi there! We have many important school events, but the
one that I always look forward to is Earth Day. It is held
on 22 April and all the schools in my area participate
in this important day. The point of the event is to
learn about the city's environmental problems and do
something to help.
During this day various activities take place and our
school usually does something different every year. For
example, our school may organise a clean-up day and
get together with another school to clean up an area in
the city. This way everyone collects all the litter from
the parks and lakes. Something else our school may do
is plant trees in different places where they are needed,
so we can make our city greener. Apart from the main
celebration on the 22, our teachers include lessons about
the environment in the curriculum throughout April in
an effort to make us more knowledgeable about it.
I like this day a lot. Anyone who has participated in Earth
Day will tell you that it is a unique experience. It gives
you the chance to learn about the environment, as well as
to do something to help it while having fun!
Well, I hope I have been of some help to you. If there is
anything else you need, just let me know.
Best wishes,
Ryan
