Hi Mum and Dad,

1 How are you? I’m soooo happy here at this school. The teachers are great, and the system is fantastic. We get up at 7 a.m. every
day and have breakfast in the canteen. Classes start at 8:30 and end at 4 in the afternoon. Of course, there’s lunch at 12:30.
2 In the afternoon, after school, we usually go to the town. It’s very nice. I love the baker’s at the end of the Union St. That’s the
school street. We turn left and then there are some other shops. My favourite is the shopping centre. There’s a big bookstore where
you can buy lots of nice books. You know I love books so my favourite room at school is the library.
3 I’m at the shopping centre now. I’ve got my laptop and I’m writing to you. My friend Clementina is watching a film at the cinema. Ron
and Brad are in the games area. They’re playing video games. Brooke is at the shopping centre too, but she isn’t here with me. She’s
buying some clothes. And Giorgio is ordering tea. We’re all happy! Here’s a selfie of us at school in Science class.
4 How’s Zala? I love my baby sister! And how’s Kofi? Is he doing his homework? He always does his homework after school.
Write to me!
Love you! 
Nyala
