Do you think that I'm clever enough?
Do you think that I'm clever enough?
I'm 14 and I've lived in London for 4 years. I haven't been taught English in Poland at all before I moved here. I'm pretty fluent and normally when i meet new people they don't realize I'm Polish until I tell them. I'm a level 6 in English, 7 in maths and 6 in science (I'm in year 9). Is this good? I was the top student in my class in Poland as far as i remember. I also go to Polish school on saturdays and I'm the top student there. My parents think that I got a chance of getting into really good universities (which I do want to go to) but sometimes I think that when I don't get into one of them my parents are going to be really upset. My mum also always tells people how good and clever I am and I hate it because i think that I might fail which is not a good feeling. So I just want to know what other people think of this. Please can you give me an answer and any advise or if i actually have a good chance of getting into a good university. thanks :) Just To Add that the levels I got were at the end of year 8.

Just do your best, none of it really matters as much as you think it does. If you fail then its ok, try again. Live your life for yourself, not for anyone else.

i think your average or just above, i know level 5s are average, so yeah. i also dont think you can say about university judging only by sats, as sats are not even looked at at universities

you must know that your parents are pushing you because they care about you but they will not hate you if you fail. they only want the best and see great things in your future. as long as you try your best, it should be good enough for your parents. they would love you just as much if you were as dumb as a box of rocks. don't worry too much about it. you should be just clever enough.

You sound smart enough to me. Just remember that a good university isn't everything. People's lives take unexpected dips and turns...All that matters is that you are happy and living a productive life.

Do I need to reg. on Workers Registration Schem, Polish,work legally in UK since 2000,start new job in Mar 05
It is an immigration question, so are there any immigration experts out there, or maybe sb has done it before? - applied for Resident Permit? Just to claryfy: I work legally in the UK since 2000, paying taxes, with insurance nbr etc... Poland has joined EU in May 04 before that I was in student visa, working 20hrs a week and studying at the same time , 2 years at the Restaurant, and 2 years for the Chartered Accountants Office, In March 2005 I got a new job at the University, working full time. Now, Do I need to register on the Workers registration Scheme? As far as I know I worked legally for more than 12 months (6years), so I think that I dont need to do it yet I am a bit confused when reading guidelines for completing Resident Permit form EEA1 (downloaded it from the Home Office web) I says there that if you worked in the UK legally for 12 mnonths, you dont need to register I the next paragraph however, it states , that if you started a new job after May 2004 you need to reg??

It does sound confusing. The two paragraphs contradict each other.

Have them talk about themselves it seems like a great thing and everyone loves to tell stories about themselves. Shopping and sports are good ones too.

help :) i need a italian translation?
help :) i need a italian translation?
Hello :) How are you? i have not seen you in a year! I would like to write to you about the exchange student. My family and I have hosted 7 exchange students over the past 5 years. We are currently hosting a two week French student. Our other students were from Japan, France, Poland, Vietnam, Brazil, and Greece. I've had a lot of experience. A family can benefit in so many ways when they host. From our experiences, we now have an extended family that is all over the world, who speak 6 different languages. We have had many exchange students so we travel a lot now. My mother went to Europe for the first time this summer when we visited our French exchange student from 4 years ago and our Polish exchange student from 3 years ago. Having exchange students has taught me to be accepting, patient, caring and has allowed me to be more confident with people from all around the world. My love for culture and meeting new and different people has developed over the past 5 years because of exchange students and I am now working towards becoming‘English as a Second Language Teacher’, so that I can travel the world and teach English. Hosting a foreign exchange student can be a rewarding experience that creates friendships that last a lifetime. As a foreign language teacher, I can attest to the tremendous impact contact with other cultures has on my own students, sometimes a life changing impact. REAL HUMAN TRANSLATOR!!! ONLINE DONT WORK!! PLEASE. :) *****This last sentence is a bit unclear: i mean i have a lot of experience hosting students :)

Ciao :) Come stai? È un anno che non ci vediamo! Vorrei scriverti qualcosa sugli studenti in scambio. Io e la mia famiglia abbiamo ospitato 7 studenti stranieri negli ultimi 5 anni. Al momento stiamo dando alloggio a uno studente francese per due settimane. Gli altri provenivano dal Giappone, dalla Francia, dalla Polonia, dal Vietnam, dal Brasile e dalla Grecia. Ho molta esperienza. [This last sentence is a bit unclear: you mean you have a lot of experience hosting students? Or that you've had great experiences with the students you've hosted in the past?] Una famiglia può trarre molti benefici ospitando uno studente straniero. Nel nostro caso, ora abbiamo una famiglia allargata e sparsa per tutto il mondo, nella quale si parlano sei lingue diverse. Abbiamo ospitato molti studenti, così ora viaggiamo molto. Mia madre è stata in Europa per la prima volta questa estate, quando siamo stati a trovare il francese che è stato con noi quattro anni fa e il polacco di tre anni fa. Queste esperienze mi hanno insegnato a essere più ospitale, paziente, altruista, e mi ha permesso di sentirmi più a mio agio con persone provenienti da altre parti del mondo. Il mio amore per le altre culture e la voglia di conoscere persone nuove sono cresciuti in questi cinque anni grazie agli studenti in scmabio, e ora sto lavorando per diventare un insegnante di inglese come lingua straniera, in modo da poter girare il mondo e insegnare l'inglese. Ospitare uno studente straniero può essere un'esperienza preziosa dalla quale può nascere un'amicizia che durerà per tutta una vita. Come insegnante di lingue, posso testimoniare il forte impatto che il contatto con altre culture ha avuto sui miei studenti, a volte cambiando la loro vita per sempre.

Ciao:) Come stai? Non ti ho visto per un anno! Vorrei scriverti qualcosa riguardo all'intercambio studenti. Io e la mia famiglia abbiamo ospitato 7 studenti stranieri negli ultimi 5 anni. Stiamo tuttora ospitando uno studente francese per 2 settimane. I nostri sudenti venivano dal Giappone, dalla Francia, dalla Polonia, dal Vietnam, dal Brasile e dalla Grecia. Ho maturato molta esperienza. Una famiglia ospitante può avere vantaggi in molti sensi. Grazie alla nostra esperienza, adesso abbiamo una famiglia estesa in tutto il mondo che parla 6 lingue diverse. Dato che abbiamo avuto tanti studenti stranieri, abbiamo pure viaggiato molto. Mia madre è andata in Europa per la prima volta quest'estate per andare a trovare i nostri studenti d'intercambio francesi di 4 anni fa e quelli polacchi di 3 anni fa. Avere degli studenti stranieri mi ha insegnato ad essere più premuroso, paziente ed altruista, mi ha permesso di essere più a mio agio con persone provenienti da tutto il mondo. Il mio amore per le altre culture e la voglia di incontrare persone nuove e diverse si è sviluppato negli ultimi 5 anni proprio grazie agli studenti dell'intercambio e ora sto lavorando per diventare un' insegnante d'inglese come seconda lingua, in modo da poter girare il mondo insegnando l'inglese. Ospitare uno studente straniero può essere un'esperienza gratificante capace di creare amicizie che durano per tutta la vita. Come insegnante di una lingua straniera, posso verificare l'effetto significativo che la diversa cultura ha sui miei studenti. A volte ciò ha un grosso impatto sulla loro vita.
