My favourite person is my dad, Arpad.

He's 46 years old. He's 1,80 m tall, has a round face and visible cheek bones. He also has short hair and an unusual beard.

He is a great man, and when I grow up I want to be just like him.

HIPPO 2015

Three of my students in Class 7 took part in the 3rd English Language Competition on 14 March. The exam consisted of 3 parts: reading (40 multiple choice questions, 1 point each), listening (20 questions, 1.5 points each) and writing (20 questions, 10 of the same level as the test and 10 of a higher level, and the description of their future job). This time the reading test was not timed, which was a relief for everyone.

Our school hosted the preliminary round.
