Hi my name is Isabella.
I live in South Africa.
South Africa is an amazing
place, there are amazing people and animals in South Africa (and not all of us
live in a hut and ride a zebra to school)
Cape Town is the Mother City
of the amazing country South Africa. There are loads of beaches, mountains,
landmarks and more in Cape Town. I encourage you to come and visit this amazing
city.
One thing in Cape Town that
is very special to me is my school – Micklefield.
Micklefield is an all-girls
school from pre-primary to Grade 7. Micklefield is a wonderful school almost as
wonderful as our teachers (especially Ms Whizz)
I am in Grade 6 at
Micklefield in Cape Town, South Africa. I live with my mother, father and
sister. I play netball, tennis, hockey & swimming.
I play the piano and take
singing lessons.
So that’s me and my country!
RAFFAELA says Raffaela,
ReplyDeleteI live in Italy. I love Italy, especially for its monuments known in all the world, and for its food! I think Italian food is the best in the world. I like pizza, which was created in Italy. My favourite type is "Margherita Pizza", with tomatoes and mozzarella cheese but I also like it with chips and sausages!
But, now I want to talk about about my town, Sant Agnello. It's a little town, situated in the South of Italy. Here there are only 9000 people. It's near to the beach, so the weather is always good and in summer there's the sun. Sant Agnello hasn't got any special monuments but I think it's church is very particular for its paintings. Here in Sant Agnello there is a Catholic Association for the young people from 10 years to 18 years old. We have a group for every age. I'm 13 so I'm in the third group. Every group is guided by two or three older kids of 19 or 20. Every Saturday we have a meeting and we talk about life and relationships with people.
School in Sant Agnello is different from yours. We also have a Middle School between Primary and High School. I'm in the 3rd year and this year we do a big exam at the end of the year. I'm so nervous!
I live with my family and in my free time I dance, go to a gym and I sing.
I hope I will meet you one day.
Bye,
Raffaella
Hi Raffaela.
DeleteYour making me jealous because I would love to go to Italy but sadly have not been there yet. My favourite pizza is also the Margherita Pizza! I love Italian food like Ice Cream and pasta. What is your favourite pasta.
Your very lucky to live in such an amazing place even though it doesn't have many monuments. Have you ever been to that church?
We have a similar thing to your catholic group here in Cape Town its called Ignite - its smaller groups and you learn about Jesus and Cristian things our group is the Grade 6 & 7 group.
We don't have a middle school we just have a primary school and a high school.
You English is very good - do you take extra lessons?
What is your favourite band mine is Plain White T's.
I also like to go to gym and dance!
Singing is lots of fun and I take extra classes I also play piano - do you play any instruments.
I also hope I will meet you one day.
Love
Isabella :)
La mattina mi guardo mia calza fuori dalla mia camera da letto per i regali e poi mia sorella e io corro piano di sotto per l'albero di Natale e prendere tutti i regali per la mia camera con i genitori a scartare i regali. Abbiamo un grande pranzo in famiglia con prosciutto e insalate, tutti noi abbiamo un sacco di divertimento nuotare e giocare (il nostro Natale è in estate). Quello è il nostro Natale!
DeleteCiao Isabella
Hi Isabella!
DeleteI'm happy you would like to come to Italy! I would like to come in South Africa too. For you, what are the best places I should visit in South Africa?
My favourite pasta is with tomato sauce and basil.
yes, I have been to that Church, I go every Sunday morning with my friends.
Thanks for your compliments and yes, I take extra lessons: at school I have English three times a week and on Friday I stay at school for three hours with our teacher, Carole. In May I'm going to have an English exam: Trinity College, I'm so excited.
I don't know Plain White T's, I will find them on You Tube. I haven't a favourite band but my favourite singers are Mika, especially for his song, "Stardust" and Michele Brevi, an Italian singer, he won X factor 2013 with his song "La vita e la felicità". I don't play an instrument but I would like to play the piano. What can you play on the piano? I'm curious...:)
See you soon
Raffaella xoxo
Hi Raffaella.
DeleteSo nice to hear from you again.
If you come to South Africa I encourage you to come to Cape Town because there is so much to do like going up the mountain or playing in the sea. Another place you could go to is Hermanus it's a beautiful small town which has lots of shops but you can escape to the country.
I also love tomato and basil pasta!
Are you really excited for an exam? I'm not looking forward to my exams this year.
Mika - I love him too seems as though we have a lot in common.
Although I haven't hear of Michele Brevi. I'll check him up on YouTube.
What's your favorite youtube video?
I haven't played piano for that long but I love to play!
Love

P.S. Il tuo Natale sembra bello... Anche noi apriamo tanti regali la mattina. Però, noi mangiamo a base di pesce e giochiamo a tombola. Ci sentiamo la settimana prossima!

Hi Isabella,

My favourite pasta is spaghetti and clams. It is very good! But I also like pizza - my favourite is with chips and sausages!! Lots of young people like it!
On Sunday I go to the A.C.R. a Catholic youth group. My group is very big. In summer we have acquatic games. It's really fun!
My favourite band is "One Direction" I'm crazy for them. I love singing their songs with my friends.
Do you like sports?
I play the recorder in my school but I would like to play the guitar.

ReplyDeleteHi Vera.
DeleteI still cant believe that chips are good on a pizza but anyway.
I love barbeques but here we call it a braai where there is lovely meat and salad. What food do you eat most often?
Zayn, aren't you upset that he is getting married. I like them all but Niall is probably my favourite.
Story of my life and midnight memories are also some of my favourite songs I also like live while were young.
That's very exciting that you are going to England I would love to go to England.

ReplyDeleteHI Isabella
ReplyDeleteI watched a video about Cape Town, there are many things very beautiful.
The things which impressed me are: World of Birds, Kirstenbosch Gardens, Spier picnics and the University of Cape Town. Have you ever been to one of these places? Can you tell me about them?
On Sunday I am going with my school to England, I'm very excited... Then we will speak again after two weeks.
Ciao Ciao :)
Vera
Hi Vera.
DeleteI have only visited the world of birds once its nice but it doesn't smell so nice there.
I love the Kirstenbosch gardens it is so nice going there for a picnic or for a concerts.
I have never been the Spier Picnics where are they?
I have only been to UCT to visit my cousin she is studying there at the moment it is very beautiful.
This is the last time we can exchange emails so I gave your teacher my email address so we can contact each other that way!
Hope to speak to you soon.
Ciao
Isabella
Hi Bella!
ReplyDeleteI've got big news: On Sunday I'm going to London! But not in the centre of London, we're going to a little town situated in Kent: Broadstairs. I'm so excited because we're staying with a British family. Every day we're going into an English School and we're doing English Lessons. The Saturday after, we're going to visit London: The London Eye, the Tower Bridge, Big Ben and the Natural History Museum. I hope that Sunday will arrive early...
Bye,
Raffaella
Hi Raffaella.
DeleteThat is so cool I wish that I could go to London. It is nice that you are staying in the country side for a week and then visiting the city.
When my mother was younger she used to work for an old lady in the country side in London.
How long have you been doing English lessons for?
That's so cool that you're going to an English school I wish that I could go to an Italian school for a week.
Have lots of fun.
Ciao
