For beginners, my lesson topics were limited to: my family, my interests, the weather, German cities, holidays and animals. It should be noted that these are not exactly the areas that eighth graders are interested in. It was in English class that we realized that their "floor" was a discussion on the topic: Was there ever life on Mars? How big is the Sun? How many stars?
