Summary

We are exchange students from Norway. Emma wants to learn more about culture.

Oxford is one of the fastest growing cities in the world, and it is filled with many different cultures and people, who makes so much more fun to live, learn and study in Oxford.

The school is different from Norway. You have to wear a School uniform, and the have afternoon tea. That is a nice tradition that Emma enjoyed together with her fellow students.  

"for your best, son" ia a novel that Aus M.J talkes about on the blog.

It is about a boy called Leo who change from a state school to a public school. Leos father went to Baverstock public school and he wants his son to go there to.  He also wanted his son to go to a public school just so he could be part of an upper class.

Sonia is 19 years old, exchange student from Norway. She had an amazing experience at a football game that reminded her of a poem she had read at school. The poem was called Hooliganism, which actually described the behavior of street gangs in London back in the 1890s. Now, the word hooligan is described as a violent young troublemaker often associated with sports fans, particularly football supporters.

Aus tells us that Stereotypes often make the first impression of a person or a country.

People all over the world have stereotyped people and the Britons are no exceptions

Typical for the British are that they are old fashioned. They drink afternoon tea and are acting snobbish

Lucy is 19 years old and an exchange student from Norway. On the blog she tells us about her visit to Buckingham palace. She didn’t get but She got new friends there, and they learned her about the Palace.

It is very big, and is decorated with priceless art. It is the official residence of the Queen. She has many guest visiting the palace every year.

The palace is most famous for the ceremony “Changing the guards” that has been a tradition since 1660 when Charles II ruled. The change takes place in front of the castle and is precisely choreographed.

Emmas secong bloggspot  is about class consciousness in England. She think that a lot of them are very aware of their social status. Probably more than many in most countries. A huge survey was done in Britain, and it reveals that there are seven social classes in the UK today.

Aus has a BlogSpot about the British system.

It is complicated.

The British people will always remember the Magna Carta and Emily because they helped define the modern British democrats.

To understand the British government you have to understand the British parliament. In the British parliament there are two houses. There is the upper house (House of Lords), And the Lower house (House of Commons). While the upper part isn’t that important to know how the government work. The lower part however is a lot more important because that’s where all the power is. There are 650 members of the House of Commons (also called for MP) and the British people elect them.

Winston Churchill , Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair are 3 great Prime Ministers that will be remembered throughout history.

Emma tells us bout English music.

England is filled with all different types of music, and for a very long time, England has been a big exporter of music, and has had a huge impact on several genres over time.
Names like The Beatles, The Spice Girls, Pink Floyd and One Direction have been or still are extremely popular, and it is what most people think when they are supposed to describe English music.

British dress code by Sonia.

the British costume that is most known and common for British people are the school uniforms that most schools in England require children to wear. Require children to wear school uniforms have been a highly debated topic for people in Britain and many other countries,

The children liked wearing uniforms. It made their daily life easier.
