Welcome to our BLOG GUESTS from FRANCE!

Dear students,
this is our fabulous opportunity to meet Mrs. Elizabeth Anne and her students from Grenoble, France. You will be able to exchange information about what it is to be a student in France and Romania as well.

Welcome to our blog, dear Elizabeth and students!



Monday 14th March
Thank you so much for all of your questions. I hope my students will answer them when I see them next week. Please don't hesitate to add more !

I have made a slide show to show you our campus. You can see it (and listen to me) by clicking on the link here.
Keep up the good work :-)
Elizabeth

  1. Hello students in Mures,
    I've been reading your comments on this blog, and it seems to me that you are working well in English. I'm looking forward adding a post here as soon as I see my students on Thursday. Is there anything you would like me to ask them already ?

  16. Hello Kozbella,

    I'm SIKORA Alexandre, to find easily a job in your field, you must go in the site of ANPE and to put your CV. Or you search a site which correspond that you want to go to work and you search to meet a person with who speak.

  18. Dear Physics students from Grenoble,
    Alexandre, Mathieu, Benjamin, Dorian, Giraud, Moulaye, Celeste, Quentin,

    Thank you for taking your time to answer my students’ questions. Please feel free to ask your own questions as well. In this way we hope you will be able to enrich your cultural knowledge and of course your English.

    I have learnt that both you and my students have only two hours of English a week, but your English is very good. Congratulations!

    Do you have other opportunities to listen to or practise English, such as watching movies on TV? Or are movies dubbed? Do you have newspapers in English? Do you have Erasmus echanges or summer courses that help you improve your foreign language?

    Wishing you success with your studies,
    Anisoara Pop

  19. Hi iulia_2015;

    A day in the university usually starts around quarter to ten. We go to class, then we eat in one of the cafeterias of the campus. Food is neither good nor bad, but it's a quick and cheap way to eat.
    Afterwards we play card games (tarot or 'barbu', you can translate it to long beard).
    Then we go on with the afternoon lessons with a 15 minutes break at 3 and 4:45. Some of us drink some cofee or a hot chocolate during the second break.
    Then we go back home, when we dont have class we play card games or try to get some work done (try because the temptation to get the cards out is strong)

    how about a day in your university?

  20. Hi anna-maria;

    are you asking how much time we spend in the university or for how long are we going to study in the university o.O?

    Um, well monday to wednesday we spend about 8 and a half hours in the university (although we only have 6-7 and a half hours of courses). Thursday or Friday we only have 2 hours of english, (if you have english on friday you get a 3 day weekend) unless you have lab practice sessions that last 5 hours (you only get 4-5 of these in the semester)

    If we were to stay in Grenoble until we finished the university, then we still have at least 5 more years to go. Although i don't know if many of us are going to remain here for our phd.

  23. Hello Mathieu.Jourdain and Bernard Armand.Your days are demanding, but exciting at the same time.I would like to be at least one day in your place to see how it is.

  24. Hellow Quentin Aubourg, Moulaye!!

    Thank you for the answer.What you do in the week-end, is different from what we do.And I say that because, studets of here usually in the evenigs go out with their friends, or go to the cinema.
    In summer we can go swiming in the river(the river crosses our town) or there is a very famous salty lake, the Bear lake in Sovata wich is about 40 km away from Targu Mures. Another place to visit is Cheile Bicazului(Gorges) , I live in the area, and it's a very beutiful place for the turist and I recomended it to you. During the university, in the week-end I go to Toplita where my grandparents live ,to spend the time with them.

  27. Hello I'm Petruta... I want to know if you go to all of your classes or do you sometimes skip them and go for a coffee? if so are there any good places to have coffee in?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hello mrs. Elizabeth, I want to know if your students make different project like us and how much has get involved?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hello Petruta,
    I'm Pania. YES :), attending all the classes is mandatory, specially there are some professors that check the students presence regularly; but you can skip them sometimes :) but it's better to tell the professor that you will be absent for the next session, in this case, there would be no problem.
    For your second question, I would say YES too! :) As being in France that is famous for its cafés, you can find a café quite easily to drink a cup of coffee, sit and talk with your friends for hours!!!. In our Campus as well, there are many café restaurants. One of the famous one is "café no name".
    If you have a habit of going to cafés, I really suggest you to visit a France :)
    ciao

  30. Hi Capot,
    I'm afraid we don't really have enough time to do projects :-(
    The students have English lessons only during one term so that's 24 hours of English and they have so much work to do for their Physics that most of the work for English is done in class.

    Last week we recorded a talk show, where one of the students was a well known Physicist and their partner was the host of the talk show - then they watched the video to see what they need to improve in their English :-)

    Everything we do is done in just one class, that's why I have to say no - we don't really do projects.

  32. Hello ERIKA,
    My name is Pania. I am not French and as a foreigner, I had to pay about 400 Euros that 200 Euros of that was for student's insurance.
    In the current semester, for example, our classes take about 25 hours per week.
    What about you? I'd like to know about the annnual fee of your university too.
    Thank you

  43. Hello!I am just curious if any of the French students is willing to leave France to work in another country and why. Because Romanian students often quit their school and go abroad in quest for another life, an easier one, for money and so on.
