Lessons here are quite different from what
we are used home in Norway. Things like calling your teacher by surname, and
walking around like penguins in suits makes our days interesting. In Norway,
this is how we would imagine our great-grand parents going to school! Even
though pupils and teachers here are a lot more polite than in Norway, we are
used to standing until our teacher makes us sit. Here, however, there have been
some awkward moments when the Norwegians have been standing up for several minutes
after the English students have sat down.
It can be a bit hard to keep up with both Norwegian and
English schoolwork, but if you stay focused and do what you are supposed to do you’ll be fine. At least our English has improved a lot during the last weeks.

Further we remark that girls in the school dress a bit inappropriately,
compared to the boys. The teachers at Beechen Cliff are well educated and very nice. They are
inspirational, and are helpful when we sometimes find translations difficult.
