All members of Polish eTwinning group study in Gimnazjum number 3 in Pabianice. Our group consists of

12 people. We are ready to meet new friends. We want to have fun with learning English and to

communicate with other people from many countries. We are very sociable and sometimes crazy.

Our group has existed for a few months but we are a very harmonious team. We should learn English

through nice communication and exchanging ideas with each other.

Our teacher : miss Milena Kokot

My name is Milena and I’m an

English teacher. I love cooperation

with teenagers therefore I've

chosen to work with gimnazjum

learners. My students are very

eager to face new challenges so

we’ve decided to work on this

project. What I love most is

spending my holidays at the

seaside, walking along the coastline

and observing the sunsets :-)
