My language is…

Script:

My Language is…

Nara: Hi. My name is Nara. I am a Grade 5 student at the Anton Bruckner International School in Linz. Did you
know that there is an international primary school in Linz? Well, there is. The Anton Bruckner International
School is located in the Bruckner Tower, the highest skyscraper in Linz.
Blake: Hold on a minute… Why do we need an international school in Linz. After all, Austrian schools are pretty
cool.
Nara: That’s true. But in our school, we learn in English. Our parents come to Linz from many different
countries throughout the world and may need to work in another country in the future. So we need to learn
within a curriculum that is available across the whole world.
Blake: The children within our school speak …. different languages. …! But we all have a common language.
Nara: Our language is gratitude…. Being grateful.
Blake: Gratitude?
Nara: Our language is gratitude.

Maggie: Hmmm… let me think about that one… hmmm…. yeah. Me too.
