Before I start on this blog
for real, I would like to write a short resume of me and my... life.
My name is Mathilde
Bjørnseth. I'm a Norwegian girl, born in Scotland (Aberdeen) the 9th of October
1997. The year after, I moved to Stavanger in Norway with my parents.
I have lived in Trondheim
for four years, but now I live in Stavanger again. I like to spend my
spare time being with friends, playing the guitar, singing, dancing and so on.
And I must not forget to tell you that I love traveling. To see new places is
just so inspiring. Meeting people with other cultures, languages and often a
total different way of living.
I go to school at
Bjergsted, which is a Norwegian upper secondary school or high school.
Bjergsted is a school of music, dance and theatre. My main subject
is music. I sing, and I hope to get better, to develope and
learn a lot more about using my voice. We are not just learning about music
in this school (unfortunately). We also study mathematics, English, Spanish,
Norwegian and science.
In the English classes we
currently study learning strategies, which is kind of interesting actually,
believe it or not. We've been learning about cognitive strategies (when you use
repetition, take notes and do exercises), metacognitive strategies (when you
discussing tasks and assessing your own level and what you are good at), social
strategies (when you work together with others “teamwork”, if you talk to
native speakers of English, you use the social strategy) and even more. I find
it quite hard to understand which strategy is the best for me to use, but I
know I do learn a lot talking with other people, and writing essays. The social
strategy does often work for me.
