I won 1st place in German and 2nd place in English school contest at the same day. If it wasn't for the grammar, I would be first!
And, if the winner would be sick on the district contest day, I would replace him.
Hmmm, should I add smashed school chalks into his drink?
... Just kidding...

Well done dude! Is that a contest *in your school* or a contest *between schools*?

Well... it was in my school. The district contest is the one between schools in the city district. I will be on the German one, after xmas holidays (8. January I believe)

Second place again (sorry for a late reply), but all these contests did really paid off. I was accepted in gymnasium without making entrance interviews
(and I had a big luck though, my girlfriend had a slightly better "note average" on the report cards!)

Isn't it average mark ?

No, by "note average" I meant the sum of all notes divided by their amount.

Huh? A note is a sign in music.
I think that what you mean is a mark (or grade).

Note, mark, grade... My translator shows all

In German the word "Note" means mark(or grade), but also note(the sign). Maybe this is the same in Slovak? Wierd

Well, the Slovak word známka has following meanings: mark, grade, note, stamp, sign, symptom, trademark,... gah these ambiguous English words

Hi,
Have a look at
this link. I was going to try and list all the meanings of note for you, but wouldn't have thought of half of these myself!
Cheers,

Reviving an old thread... but just for the sake of curiousity how do you pronounce "free", "three" and "tree"?
I can't say "three" properly, because it sounds like "tree"... or like "free".

Hi,
There's a pronunciation guide and audio clip
here which is probably correct although I am without sound at the moment! Quite a few people learning English as a foriegn language seem to go with "tree". If you live in London, "free" seems to be quite an acceptable pronunciation
I think the "th" sound is quite popular with the Spanish - at least it sounds that way when a Spaniard is talking, not that I understand any of it!
Cheers,
Adam

Three sounds nothing like tree or free, if it does... you're saying it wrong.
