Hi, I’m Fabiënne, I’m fourteen years old. I live in Gorinchem together with my father, mother, little sister and cat. I also go to school in Gorinchem (which is situated in the middle of the Netherlands), called the Lyceum Oudehoven. I cycle to school in approximately 15 minutes. I’m doing TTO, which is a special program where you almost get all of your lessons in English, because I want to improve my English. That’s why I went to this school. My favourite subject is Geography. My hobbies are playing hockey and tennis and watching films. I don’t know exactly what kind of job I want to get, but I do want to work in a Dutch international business. But before that I want to study at the University of Utrecht.

Hey! Nice to meet you! I’m Maike. I’m fourteen years old. I live in Arkel in a detached house together with my father, mother and two brothers. I also have a cat, called Nightstar. He has three paws, because he had an accident. I cycle seven minutes from my home to school. At school we have this section called TTO, which stands for Twee Talig Onderijs (Two Language Education). This means we almost get all of our lessons in English, we have to speak English, write in English and we also get out tests in English. I chose this, because I really liked the language and later in life I want to work abroad. I can't pinpoint my favourite subject, however I like Chemistry and Biology. In my free time I like to watch series and anime. I love music, so I sometimes play on my piano and just listen and sing songs. I also love editing video's, which I made myself.
On this picture you see us. On the left is Maike and on the right is Fabiënne.
