Your language is more Pascal than Java.

In Pascal a distinction is made between sections of type "const",
"type", "var" etc. Everything not fitting into the actual section can
only be a procedure declaration or definition. In Pascal also all
declarations are terminated with a semicolon, which can be used as a
recovery point after an syntactical error. Code has to be enclosed in
"begin"/"end" pairs, also useful as recovery points.
