==Example Text==
Till lektionerna behöver ni ta mer er pennor, sudd, anteckningsböcker samt
era bärbara datorer. Mobiltelefonerna får vara påslagna, men jag vill inte
höra några ringsignaler och heller inte att ni sitter och pratar i era telefoner under lektionstimmarna.
Om någon bryter mot detta kommer vederbörande få svåra extrauppgifter som måste lösas för att få godkänt i mina ämnen.

To the lessons you need to bring pencils, erasers, note books and your lap tops. Cellular phones may be turned on but I don't
want to hear any signals and neither that you talk in your phones during the lessons. If somebody violates this, that person
will receive difficult extra tasks which needs to be solved in order to graduate in my subjects.
