Hi my name is Mumtaz.
I’m from South Africa. I really like living here. South
Africa is very beautiful. We have lions, zebras, springboks, elands, as well
as beautiful birds. We have a huge mountain called Table Mountain that
surrounds Cape Town, which is the city I live in. Table Mountain is one of the
Seven Wonders Of The World. We are also surrounded by the Atlantic and Indian Ocean. Micklefield is a very fun school. We do a lot of fun things like play with iPads, do drama plays, spend lots of time in the library and computer lab. I
have one brother and one sister who are younger than me. I have a dog called
Cody. I love playing guitar.
MANUELA says hello!
ReplyDeleteHi, Mumtaz, my name is Manuela.
I'm from Sant Agnello.I'm 13 years old.
I love playing the piano, meeting my friends and reading books. I really like living in Sant Agnello because its a very chaotic but beautiful town. We have the Festival of Sant Agnello on the 14th of December. It is to celebrate the Patron Saint of the town. People go to church and after that they buy things at the street stalls, they go for a walk around the town and eat a lot of food! On the 14th of December people don't go to school or to work.
My school, Agostino Gemelli is very big and beautiful.
I don't like sport, I prefer watching TV, going to the library and surfing the internet.
I love animals, infact I have two dogs called Kira and Fido.
Hello Manuela
ReplyDeleteI'm 11 years old. I'm the youngest in the class.
I also like meeting new friends but I can be shy sometimes. I also love reading books. I like adventure and mystery books. Sant Agnello seems like a very nice town. I'd love to visit it one day. The Festival of Sant Agnello seems like lots of fun. I'm Muslim so I don't know a lot about saints but they all sound very interesting. We don't have a lot of public holidays but one of my favourites is Heritage day. Heritage day is on the 24th September. Its a time for everybody to think about their heritage and culture and have fun with their family.
the school which I go to,Micklefield School, is a small all-girl school.I really like it here. My favourite place is the library but I also like the Computer lab.
I'm in the swimming team and hockey team. I don't watch a lot of tv but I do spend time on the internet. I also love animals and going to game parks. There are many game parks in Africa with very interesting animals.I have one Yorkshire Terrier dog called Cody. There are many beautiful birds and insects in my garden like chameleons, lizards, geckos, small hummingbirds as well as gigantic spiders. I have a tree house high up in a huge tree. I spend a lot of time in it and love being up there with my friends or by myself.
From Mumtaz
Sono musulmano quindi non festeggio il Natale. Invece io celebro Eid. Eid è molto divertente. Ogni anno ho un nuovo vestito fatto sempre in un colore luminoso e allegro. Eid è un tempo della famiglia e tutta la mia famiglia visitare il resto della mia famiglia. E 'un sacco di divertimento. Ciao Mumtaz

ReplyDeleteI'm 13 years old.
I like reading horror and mystery books and watching horror films.
One of my favourite festivals is Christmas. On this day Italian kids open their presents on Christmas morning. The presents are under a decorated tree. Some parents tell them they are from Baby Jesus, others prefer Father Christmas. Lunch on Christmas Day is very luxurious and very long. The whole family gets together. There are entreés, pasta, some kind of meat with roast potatoes and vegetables and then a traditional dessert. Most people eat panettone or Pandoro but there are other traditional sweets.
I love meeting my friends and I also enjoy just enjoying myself. I like listening to pop music and I like the boy band One Direction, do you know them? I spend lot of time with my family, my friends, on internet and watching TV.
From Manuela
Sant' Agnello é una città molto bella e costiera. I suoi abitanti sono socievoli, infatti e facile farsi degli amici. E una città che merita di essere visitata.
Ciao Manuela
Hello Manuela
ReplyDeleteI like mystery books too as well as adventure books.
Christmas seems like lots of fun. Sometimes I go to my Christian friends houses and we have a lot of fun and sometimes I get presents.
One Direction is also my favorite boy band. Who's your favorite?
I also spend a lot of time with my family. Do you have any siblings?
This weekend is my schools Inter-house Cross Country and sports day. I'm in the blue team called Swallows. We don't win a lot but we have a lot of fun. We win the Spirit Trophy a lot. I play hockey,netball and I swim. I'm not good at tennis but I know how to play it. Do you play any sports? What's your favorite sport?
Our teacher showed us a few videos of people ice skating in the Winter Olympics. Im not very good at ice skating but I'd love to do it. They all look so graceful and elegant. Can you ice skate? Do you like ice skating?
Sant' Agnello looks like a very beautiful place! I'd love to visit it some day.
I'm really enjoying talking to you. You're really nice and friendly!

Hi Mumtaz
ReplyDeleteAlso I like One Direction, but I'm not a 1D freak.
I don't have any siblings, I'm an only child- and you?
I hate dance but I do swimming and I play tennis - they are my favourite sports. What's your favourite sport of all?
I can't ice-skate, I think it's very difficult but I'd like to do it.
I also like talking to you, you are very kind.
bye
Manuela
Hello Manuela
ReplyDeleteI am the oldest child and have one brother and one sister. Do you get lonely being an only child?
I'm in the swimming team at my school. I mainly swim freestyle(crawl) ,butterfly and I sometimes swim backstroke. My teacher told me that in Italy you don't do a lot of school team sports. I can't believe you only write one exam at the end of each school phase. I write exams every term. We write separate ones for each different subjects. Sometimes we write more than one exam per subject. The subjects we write exams on are Maths,History, Geography,Afrikaans( a South African language) , Xhosa ( also a language) Natural Science and English. We also sometimes have surprise assessments. Each term we get a report. The report consists of English, Xhosa ,Maths, History Geography, Natural Science,Afrikaans, Drama, Music ,Art and Physical Education. We also are marked on our general skills like listening, speaking and our values. Our school values are proud,honest,respectful,considerate and friendly. We go to school for six and a half hours. From 07h55 to 14h30. How long do you got to school for?
From Mumtaz
Hi Mumtaz

The subjects we write exams on are Maths,History,Geography,English,French and italian.
We go to school for five hours.From 8:15 to 13:15 from Monday to Friday and on Saturday from 8.15 to 12.15.
Do you like going to school?What do you want to be in future?

Hi Mumtaz,
ReplyDeleteHow are you?
I have seen a DVD about Cape Town. I'd like to visit it one day..but I would like to ask you things about the University of Cape Town-what can you study there?
I'm really happy because Sunday I go to London with my school. I'll come back on the 16th March.
Bye, Manuela
Hello Manuela
ReplyDeleteHow are you?
I'm a bit tired of our busy term but I'm really excited for the holidays!
Unfortunately we only have a week holiday. Although next term there's going to be a lot of Public holidays. I feel sorry for you that you have school on Saturday. I wouldn't like that at all. Do you like going to school on Saturday?
I don't really like going to school. I don't know what I want to be in the future. Maybe a journalist. My parents are both doctors and my grandfather was a lawyer.
Cape Town is very beautiful! You should really come visit it. Maybe when you come here we can meet and be friends. I'd really like to come to Italy and meet you!
Both my parents went to the University of Cape Town. You can study many things like business, art and design, technology, medicine and law. We have many small universities in Cape Town that mainly focus on one thing like the teaching university and the technology university. We also have the University of the Western Cape (which is the province I live in) and the Stellenbosch University. But if you want to become a doctor then I suggest you go to the University of Cape Town because research shows that people who study there are better doctors.
London seems very exciting. What did you do there and where did you go?
Did you have fun in London?
You're really nice and friendly. I'm really sad that soon we're going to stop talking to each other. But maybe if you want we can e-mail each other.
From Mumtaz
Hello Manuela
ReplyDeleteI've had a lot of fun over the past few weeks talking to you and would like to keep in touch with you.
I have given my e-mail address to my teacher who will then send it to your teacher.
So if you want to write back to me and be friends then can you please ask your teacher for my e-mail address. Then we can be friends and one day we can meet each other!
