Vi ska tala inför klassen i engelska C. Här är det tal jag knåpade ihop, döm och beröm tills torsdag!

 When we first got this assignment I thought of it as a very fun thing to do. As the days passed and this day was coming up, I got more and more stressed about it. One question remained, shining bright in my mind; What am I going to talk about? When I am given, as we in Sweden say fria händer ”free hands”, I think I over do the fact that I have to come up with something splendid. I kept thinking of one theme, the future. I am, as most in this class are, graduating this summer. What am I going to do after these twelve years in school? It has become some sort of habit to get up in the morning and go to school.

Right after the graduation ceremony I’m going to celebrate. Celebrate that I, Lena Håkansson, actually managed to graduate. It has been a bumpy road from time to time, but all along has it actually been an enjoyable trip. After the great stir about being graduated I’m going to find an apartment, hopefully in Gothenburg but if not, in my dear hometown Linköping. I’m going to work, I don’t know where yet, but somewhere…

I have six months of working and live the life like a student before I go on military duty. I have always enjoyed challenges, this is a big one. I got the idea when I overheard a guy say that a girl don’t fit in on a military duty. I don’t know why I wan’t to prove him wrong, but suddenly this has become so exciting that I’m longing for these ten intensive months of hard training in bad conditions. It’s just one of those things I like to do. I like to prove people wrong.

I believe that most students are confused about the future. It’s like a big door has opened to a great new mall. Which store am I going to visit first? In what order? Will I have time to visit them all? Questions without any real answers, we have to find out by ourselves, life has no key…

I remember the very first day in school and I believe that I will remember the very last as well.
