Thank you very much. Here are some more questions I need you to check.
Choose the topics on the basis of your own preferences and then interview your American twinned students. Write their answers on the sheet provided by your teacher.
Be prepared to be tested on their answers.
1) Have you ever done any part-time job to improve your pocket money (I don't know if this happens in America)? Have you ever harvested grapes or hazelnuts to get extra money?
2) Which foreign languages are taught at your school? Do teachers teach both scientific and literary (???) subjects?
3) What do you call students who play truant in American?
4) What books have you read recently? What courses have you taken in your school that you like best? Can you say “Do you prefer listening to music on CDs, iPod or flash drive?
5) I teach both English and German to students between the ages of 14 and 18 years old. (How can I express it better). Though I was supposed to test two students orally today I have decided to let my students interview you. You just have to answer briefly and slowly to my students' questions. They will then be asked to report your answers to the whole class.
6) This is a question to their teachers: Are the teachers selected through a (?) competitive state examination or is the principal of their school entitled to choose his teaching staff himself?

Can you say “Do you prefer listening to music on CDs, iPod or flash drive? <~~yes
5) I teach both English and German to students between the ages of 14 and 18 years old. <~~This is phrased well. Though I was supposed to test two students orally today, I have decided to let my students interview you. Please answer them briefly and slowly. My students will then be asked to report your answers to the whole class.
6) This is a question to their teachers: Are teachers selected through competitive state examinations, or is the principal of a school able to choose his teaching staff himself?
1) To find out if American students have ever done any part-time jobs or worked in agriculture to earn extra money, you can interview your American twinned students. Ask them directly if they have ever done any part-time jobs or if they have worked in agriculture, such as harvesting grapes or hazelnuts, to earn extra money. Write down their answers on the sheet provided by your teacher.
2) To gather information about foreign languages taught at their school and whether teachers teach both scientific and literary subjects, ask your American twinned students these questions. They will be able to provide you with the information you need. Write down their answers on the sheet provided by your teacher.
3) To find out what American students call students who play truant, you can ask your American twinned students directly. They will be able to tell you the term used in America for students who play truant. Write down their answer on the sheet provided by your teacher.
4) Ask your American twinned students about the books they have recently read and the courses they like best in their school. Additionally, you can ask them if they prefer listening to music on CDs, iPods, or flash drives. Write down their answers on the sheet provided by your teacher.
5) To express that you teach both English and German to students between the ages of 14 and 18 years old, you can say "I teach English and German to students aged 14 to 18." This provides a clear and concise description of the age range and subjects you teach. You can inform your students that instead of testing two students orally, you have decided to let them interview your American twinned students. Advise them to ask brief and slow questions, and have them report the answers to the whole class.
6) To inquire about the selection process for teachers in American schools, ask the teachers themselves. You can ask if teachers are selected through a competitive state examination or if the principal of the school is entitled to choose the teaching staff. This will provide you with information about the specific process in their school.
