Hi ! We are students in a high school named Lycée Louise Michel. Let us introduce ourselves we are between 14 and 17 years old. We are tenth graders. In the class we are 30 pupils. We are all French but we come from diffrent origins for exemple: Algeria, West Indies, Tunisia, China, Italy... We would like to talk about us, our culture our hobits and our likes and dislikes. First, our high school is located in Bobigny, a suburb in the North of Paris. There are about 44 000 inhabitants in our town. We are very sociable people. Some of us really enjoy dancing, we often go to parties and nightclubs. We also like shopping in a shopping centre. We go to school 5 days a week. There is no class on Saturdays and Sundays. We usually start at 8 o'clock and finish at 5 or it can be 6. It's late ! We have a lot of homework, so it's very hard. We study about 8 differents subjects : French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Maths, Sports, Sciences, History & Geography. Our school's name is the name of an important in French history. Louise Michel* [1830-1905] was a revolutionary woman. She fought for the poor.
