Hi everybody!
Here are the 15 girls and 14 boys of class
3A, aged between 12 and 13.
We go to a secondary school, (called "Gymnasium" in
Austria).
We are 540 students and 60 teachers who share a 100-year old
schoolhouse. We have a great form teacher who teaches us Maths
and Gym
(for the boys). His name is Rudi Seltenreich and he loves to sing
and
make jokes. Our nickname for him is "Selti".
Besides all the regular subjects, we started to study Latin this
year.
Here is some information about our city: Vienna is the capital
of
Austria and has almost 2 million inhabitants. Our school is in
the 13th
district, near Schoenbrunn castle. Our most famous landmark is
St.
Stephen's Cathedral, a beautiful gothic church. We also have a
very big
"Ferris wheel" which is fun to ride because you can
see almost the whole
city from the top. The river that flows through Vienna on its
way to
Budapest, Hungary is the Rive Danube.
