Mark's notebook entry: Feb 12, 2011 So this is my first notebook entry in English. I joined italki, because I want to learn Swedish. I think my level of English is quite good, although it can be improved. I do bilingual education, which means that in the first year, you have to take a lot of English classes and also most other subjects are in English. I'm now in year 4 of 6 and we've started writing essays this year. In the coming test week, we've to write an essay about MacBeth, which we're now reading. I, and a lot of classmates, don't understand anything of it, because we're reading the play (which is not meant to be read, so that's difficult already) in Old-English. That makes it really difficult and because we don't understand the play, we find it boring. It's a circle and we will be stuck in it till we die. Oh god.
