The Day of Foreign Languages
Foreign Languages Day is a traditional manifestation, held every year in December at the Singidunum University. This event includes the competition of third- and fourth-grade students of secondary schools. They had a task to create a 10-minute presentation or a sketch on one of two topics. The team of the Railway Technical Schools consisted of two members – Angelina Avramović, class 3 2 and Tijana Mićović, class 3 1-2. Under the supervision of their mentor, English language teacher Višnja Minčev, they created a presentation titled “Serbs Through the Eyes of Foreigners”. Despite the mild stage fright, Angelina and Tijana were very confident and they presented their work to the jury and to the large audience in the best way possible. They won fourth place and a set of books both for themselves and the school library.
