My favourite things

Moje ulubione rzeczy

Do you have a favourite subject? If you do, do you know how to describe it to your friend? There are four students talking about what they like and what they dislike doing at school…

My favourite subject? Well, it’s PE (Physical Education) for sure.
I love sport and I can’t keep still for more then half an hour. I also like Biology very much although I’m not good at it. I don’t mind History classes as long as I’m interested in the subject. I’d like to be an archaeologist in the future so maybe that’s why I find those subjects the most interesting. It’s a pity there’s no Archaeology at school.

I’m interested in many different things but my favourite school subject is Chemistry. I have some problems from time to time with remembering all the formulas but my teacher is a fantastic person and he understands that you don’t have to be an expert to like something. Last year I joined the Chemistry club. I’m so mad about it because every time we meet we do lots of experiments and I feel like a scientist.

I definitely have a scientific mind. I’ve always had problems with writing essays. A Polish, History or English, even a Biology essay was a challenge for me.
I can hear very often ”maybe you know a lot but you can’t write”. Yes, I know! Anyway, I just don’t like reading books about people who didn’t exist and then writing about them. Some people are shocked when I tell them that my hobby is Maths, but it really is.
I love it and I’m the best in the class.

I hate Physics! I don’t like Chemistry, I can hardly stand Biology and I prefer anything to Maths. I know I’m better at Polish and History so maybe that’s why I like those two. But my favourite subjects of all are English and German – without a doubt. I’m interested in different cultures and I’d like to speak many languages. Now I have an opportunity to learn some of them. Two of them actually…
