Hi my name is Isabella J
We live in South Africa, a beautiful country with nine dry,
very warm and beautiful provinces. The Western Cape has many different and
amazing cities including our home town Cape Town. I am sure you know that Cape
Town is an amazing city but most people don’t know its special qualities
(they are hidden in the shadows). Cape Town has many
different vineyards where lots of people get married and have big celebrations,
we have lovely and hot days, when we can go to the beach- I usually go to
Fish Hoek. We go to Fish Hoek because it has a shark net; over the past few years there
has been numerous sharks swimming in our water, and that’s when the shark
net comes in handy! We also have a beautiful mountain called Table Mountain, it
sits right in the middle of the city. I am fortunate enough, that I wake up
every morning and can look out my window and there it is! I play lots of tennis and I
look up to my favourite players Raphael Nadel and David Ferrer, they are
amazing and incredible tennis players. I enjoy drawing and sketching in art at school and
in my spare time and during break. I have been to Italy and I saw amazing and
beautiful things like the Sunday Markets. I also ate Gelato. My family and I went to Laskala in Milan and I could not believe I fell asleep during one of the
amazing performances, we had a busy day shopping at the fashion district in
Milan.
I go to Micklefield School, a lovely school in Rondebosch. We have many different activities during the day and we enjoy it. We have art, drama and cooking (where we learn to make Gelato and croissants).
ESTER and LAURA say hello!
ReplyDeleteHi Isabella, my name is Ester. I live in Italy, in Sant Agnello. It's a small town but I've many friends here. I have seen the photos of your school, it's very cool! I really liked it. My school is smaller than yours and I don't like it!
I like music. My idols are One Direction. On 29th June I'm going to go to Milan to their concert. Do you like them? I've never been to South Africa but I would like to visit it.
I'm 13, my Birthday is on 24 September. I've got long, blond hair and brown eyes. I'm quite tall and I have small ears. I'm friendly, fun, crazy..
Do you want to learn something in Italian? It's quite difficult...
Now I must go
Ciao! ( "ciao" is 'goodbye; bye or hello! )
Hi!
I'm Laura and I'm 12.
I live in Sant Agnello in Italy. The people of Sant Agnello are friendly, kind and fun. The name of my school is Agostino Gemelli and I'm in the third year of Middle School.
Our town is a tourist destination and there are a lot of shops. My town is very beautiful!
I have long brown hair and brown eyes. I'm not very tall and my favourite group is One Direction. My favourite song is "Story of my Life". What's your favourite song?
I hope I will see you one day
bye Laura
Hi Ester and Laura you both sound very nice and friendly, I do like 1D's music. My favourite song by 1D is also the "story of my life". I hope one day you will both come to cape town and I can meet you. I have been to Millan and a little town north of Millan, and I enjoyed it. The parks were amazing the town was beautiful and the people were polite and friendly. I used to live in America when I was 1. It was not as beautiful as Italy but it was interesting and fun. I am 12 on the 19th of April ( which means I am 11 now ) I am a little younger than you but we still get along and thats all that matters. I have 2 dogs Chicka and Koda, I had three but one recently past away on the 24 of January. My faourite show on T.V is Topgear. I am a huge fan I enjoy watching because I am very interested in motor engineering and car design, on the 20th of June I am going to the Topgear show. I will ask my teacher if I can send some pictures if possible. My mother and father are planning to go to Poolia in June and July, and i will take more Pictures there too. I hope to meet you one day.

Nuotiamo il giorno di Natale e godersi il caldo e la stagione festiva.
ReplyDeleteCiao Isabella J
Hi Isabella J.
ReplyDeleteYou are very friendly and funny. I love One Direction and I am happy to write with you because we have got a lot of things in common. In my family there are my dad, my mum, my brother and I have one green bird. I am 12 on the 15th of February. I have long brown hair and brown eyes.
Tell me what you look like.
What did you do when you visited Milan? When were you there? It's very cold there in winter.
I hope to meet you one day.
Nuotare il giorno di Natale??? Che bello, qui fa freddo a Natale!
Ciao ciao,
Laura S.
Hi Isabella!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite 1D songs are: Little Things; Dark; I want; You and I, Change my mind, and others.
I don't watch TV very often. Sometimes I prefer reading books. My favourite books are the "Hunger Games" Trilogy, do you know it?
I haven't got any pets but I would like a dog. I have got a brother younger than me. He's 9. His name is Andrea. Do you play any sports? I go to gym twice a week.
Have you got a best friend? I have three best friends- Laura, Martina and Roberta. Roberta is older than me. I meet them in my free time or we talk by phone. Why do you usually do in your free time? I go out with my friends, I listen to music, read books and go to the A.C. R. (A Catholic youth group)
When did you go to Milan? What did you do there? You will like Puglia if you go there, it's great in summer.
Ciao! Alla prossima, anche a me farebbe piacere incontrarti.
Ester
P.S. Il Natale al caldo sarebbe bellissima!
Hi Ester and Laura
ReplyDeleteLaura: Wow everyone in your class speaks very good English. When we went to Milan we went to a 6 hour long opera ( I fell asleep ) then we shopped ( ALOT ).
We had Gelato and ate a lot of yummy food. We were there last year from the 26 to the 31 of June. Are you watching the Olympic Games, and I must say that Italy is doing VERY well. I really don't like long distance running and some sports, I play tennis, swimming, hockey. What sports do you play and which is your favorite?
We swim on Christmas because it is very hot on Christmas Day.
Ester
: I also don't really like watching T.V, I read a lot and my favorite book is also " The Hunger Games Trilogy" I have started the second one this week (I am so excited to read it). I hangout with my friends almost everyday on the weekend and I play tennis with them a lot. You are lucky you have a Phone My mom says I can have one when I stop talking a lot during class ( which isn't going to happen ) I am a chatterbox. My best friends are Tamaryn, Tahlia and Megan. When we went to Milan we went to a 6 hour long opera ( I fell asleep ) then we shopped ( ALOT ).
We had Gelato and ate a lot of yummy food. We were there last year from the 26 to the 31 of June. We enjoyed it !! Excuse my spelling my of Puglia.I hope we enjoy it talk to you soon.
Ciao Ester and Laura
Hi Isabella!
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy because also you are reading Hunger Games. I'm reading the third book.
I speak a lot in the lesson too haha, but I have a phone.
In my school there is a choir, I sing in it. We sing Giuseppe Verdi's music. It's a little boring but I spend time with my friends.
On the 9th March, with the school, I'm going to London for one week. I'm very excited. Have you got an account on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram?
Ci sentiamo :)
Ester
PS. Laura is on holiday in New York!! She will write next week.
ReplyDeleteHi Ester
ReplyDeleteWow you are going to London. The best thing about London is the Big Book Shops, The best one is Foils (it has 4 floors). I am sure they have the Hunger Games in lots of different languages. They also have a nice fashion district, and a fabric district I really hope you enjoy it. I don't have any accounts but send me yours ad I will create one.
Ciao Ester

Hi Isabella!
ReplyDeleteHow are you?
Sunday I'm going to London for 1 week. I'm so excited. I'm staying in a house with Laura and a English family. In the morning we're going to school and in the afternoon we're doing activities together. Today we have watched a video of some things about Cape Town. Can you tell me something about the Blue Rock Waterski Resort? I would like to try it! Have you ever been to the World Cup stadium?
Alla prossima settimana!! :)

Hello Laura and Laura
ReplyDeleteHow was London did you go on the London Eye?
I just wanted to say it has been such fun talking to you, all my friends saw the comment of the picture of me and the all laughed. I am sorry to say this is my last time talking to you during class time but we can still talk on e-mail. To answer your question about the topless bus I have not been on the bus but my mom and dad have planned to go on the 19th of April (my birthday) For the first time.
