CHEATING

Cheating has been popular in bilingual class. In exams people used to use some cheating methods to make sure that the teacher won't see you.

At the end of the second schoool year, we did a final exam in which you could improved your mark or just pass it to pass the subject, like in my situation.

We would do it in the biggest room in the school. This was an advantage for teachers (all the groups would do the same exam together), and also for us (cheating was much easier!).

So that we started the exam. I was sat at the back with Valls, Bufa and Gabri, and our intention was to cheat everything we could.

We had some cheating methods to use. We chose the "swappin method". It consisted in passing our exams to each others. It was so fast and easy, but also a little noisy. So finally we did it and we went out of the exam so happy, because we believed that Fernando, the teacher in te exam, didn't realised anything.

Next week, Fernando gave the corrected exams to everybody unless us, Valls, Bufa, Gabri and me. We asked Fernando why he didn't gave us the exams, and he explained us that he realised that we had cheated. So he failed us the exam, and Valls and Bufa couldn't improve their note and Gabri and me failed the subject.

To conclude, i can say that sometimes, cheating methods can succes, but others not, so that i sugest you to not to do it.

CLASSMATES AND FRIENDS

"Classmates and friends" is a fact very important in relations at school. You met knew people and make friends, but sometimes you can get separated from other people. So i'm going to speak about one partner we had at bilingual class that went away at second year. She was Carmen Morano.

I knew Carmen before being classmates in the biligual class, because we came from the same primary school and we were also neighbours.
I didn't use to speak a lot with her, because we had differents friends and we were not usually together.

She was very nice and friendly, and also a little shy. Besides, she had very good level of english because she used to study a lot and she was in an academy out of school.

Our relationship wasn't very close. Nevertheless, we were gradually taking more confidence, and an example was the first trip with the class, to Wales. This trip brought all of us together, and later my relationship with her became more friendly.

To swam up, i can say that these trip was the las time for Carmen in our bilingual class, because next year she had to go away to another school.
