I decided to take an English course this autumn and now I have been studying English for some weeks. I remember I had two subjects in English when I was in a university and it have been quite long time since I graduated from the university.
I moved to Norway in 2005 and I have been living here for about 10 years now.In Norway I rarely speak English,but have to learn and speak Norwegian as my second language so that it would be easier for me to get a job here. When I don't practice my English, it is getting worse every year and finally it's time to do something about my poor English. Going to school is an only one way to improve my English.
Last week I watched a film at the school. The film " Skin " is a true story of Sandra Laing based on a black girl who was born to white Afrikaner parents during the apartheid era in the 1950s.
With her appearance she was classified as colored although her parents were white.Her father tried to fight the unfair system so that she could go back to school with other white children again.
Her story came to the media and finally she was reclassified as white and she could go back to school again.
When she was 17 years old she realized that she would not be accepted from the white community due to her feature. She met a black guy named Petrus and fell in love with him and got pregnant.
Her father knew about this and she had to choose between her family and boyfriend.She should a black guy because she loved him and he was a father of her baby.
I will not tell you a whole story here,but if you want to watch this film I'm sure you can find it somewhere like eBay :)
This movie made me think about an unfair system/ a racial segregation in South Africa and I realize that you shouldn't judge people from their races or colors.Everyone deserves the same rights and respects.
I almost cried when I saw a principal hit a little girl many times and she didn't understand why he hit her so hard.
He told her to stand in front of the whiteboard and began with multiplication table.
A girl : Seven times one equals seven.
A headmaster : louder!
A girl: 7 times 1 equals...
A headmaster: hit her one time and said "louder! "
A girl : 7 times 1 equals 7 , 7 times 2 equals 14.
A headmaster : hit her many times and said"I said louder" !!!
A girl : Why are you hitting me?

This is one of my absolutely favorite films ever and I strongly recommend this film to my family and friends. I wish everyone could watch this amazing movie.
And I would like to say that Anthony Fabian who is a director is a talent guy.He did a great job and now I'm really looking forward to watching his other films too :)
P.S. Never give up !!!
And my motto is " Practice makes perfect = Øvelse gjør mester ".
