while I'm going to school, on the bus, after lessons, at home. My favorite band

in Rybnik! I was so happy about it. The concert ticket is still hanging on my
wall and I have great memories

Definitely too often.
About my family… I haven’t got any siblings. It’s just me and my parents, with

Hi, my name is Bartek. I live in Poland in a
small village which is near the town I come from, Lodz. Last October I
celebrated my 15 birthday so now I’m in the third grade of my secondary school.
My real passion is music. I love almost everything connected with that:
listening to it, going to concerts, and playing instruments. I have been
playing the guitar for 3 years and I
must admit that playing in a band is my
greatest dream. I also like learning English ( I started at the age of 5),
reading fantasy books and just walking around in my hometown.

English. I enjoy cooking. I'm interested in computers and gadgets. I love
listening to music and doing jigsaw puzzles. I often read books too.
My name is Kuba and I live in Łódź, a city in the
center of Poland. I've been learning English since I was very little. I like sports. One of
my favourites are windsurfing, cycling or snowboarding. I don't really enjoy
football, because I'm not that good at it. Apart from sports, I am interested
in music. I've been learning to play the guitar for about two years now, and I
still want more! I've also been learning to play the harmonica recently,
however I don't have the time to handle all this. As for school, I enjoy
subjects like English, French, maths or physics, but not history, geography or
biology. I like travelling. I've already been to six European countries and I
liked each of the trips. I hope that with this project my English will improve.
My name is Miriam Kobierski, and
I’m 14 years old. I was born in America, and my favourite city there is
Chicago. I have two younger sisters, and I love to spend time with them. I love

caring person. I like to take care of kids (sometimes I babysit for them), and

My name is Gosia. I’m
fourteen. I live in Łódź, in Poland. I go to secondary school. I really like my
school, people from my class and from another classes. I'm in a bilingual
class. I speak two languages - English and Polish and I also learn
German, but I'm not good at it. When I'm at home I always listen to music . I
think music is the best thing to do in our life. By music you can
show all emotions and feelings that you have inside. My favourite bands
are Coldplay, The Killers, RHCP, Band of Horses, Muchy and Linkin Park. I don’t
like any sport. I think I’m too lazy to do something like swimming. It’s just a
waste of time, because in the same time I can listen to music ! I love
reading books and spending time with my friends. I love travelling and really
like photography too. It's time to say something about my character. It
isn't easy for me, to tell about it. I'm not confident. I'm... hmmm... shy, but
when I'm with my friends I'm really happy and I try to be honest. I'm so
sensitive. Sometimes it isn't good for me. When I'm sad, I can be annoying too. I
think that’s all that I can say about myself.
My name is Julia and I’m 14 years old. I live in
Lodz with my parents, grandmother, dog and cat. I go to a bilingual class in
secondary school. I speak two languages
– English and Polish and I also learn French. In my free time, I always listen
to music. My favourite bands are Florence and the Machine and Linkin Park. I
also read a lot of books. The most, I like books about travels and adventures. My
biggest passion is dancing. Two times a week I go to workshops. Photography and
travelling are also very important for me. I love visiting new and interesting
places, and taking pictures of them. The best way of spending free time for me
is meeting with friends, because with them I can chill out and have some fun. I
always try to be cheerful and friendly. I’m also really shy, and sometimes it
isn’t good for me, but I’m working on it to change this. I think that’s all I
can say about myself.
My name is Ola and I’m 15. I live in one of the most beautiful Polish
cities – Lodz. I live here with my mum, dad and a 10-year-old charming sister.
I go to the secondary school, where I made lots of friends that I hope will
stay my best mates forever. My favourite
subject is definitely Polish, but I also love English, French, biology and
history, so I rather prefer writing than counting. I am crazy about listening
to every kind of music excepting pop and rap. I can play the guitar and
recently I’ve taken up the percussion as well. The best place to spend time in
my city is the concert hall, which is absolutely incredible for me. I can also
say that I’m an amateur songwriter.
Finally, I have to stress that attending Comenius project will give me an
unbelievable chance to fulfil my ambition of speaking English entirely
correctly.
