Hello, my name is Ricardo and now I'm going to describe my school. The name of my school is Escola Básica e Secundária da Calheta, and it is located in Estrada Simão Gonçalves Câmara. My school was opened in 1982.

My school has got six buildings and one gymnasium. In the main building there is the first aid room, the general office, the director's office, the photocopy room and the conference room.

In the second building, there is a canteen and classrooms. In the third building there are classrooms and one laboratory. In the fourth building there are two computer rooms and other classrooms. In the fifth building there are classrooms, one bar, the students' bar, and the radio station, the Radio Horizonte. We also have one swimming pool.

For me my school is good, but somethings aren't good. But for the next year, the school will be better. This is my school!

Opinion on school

Carolina really dislikes teachers who gives her lots of homework to do.

I think school is OK and I enjoy going there every day. I like school, because it is where I meet my friends.

I feel that I have to go to school, because I have to learn, so one day later on I can be someone and do something with my life.

There are subjects that I like, for example, Geography, Science, Maths, History and English and there are some I don't like, such as Music and PE.

However, there are things about school I don't like. For example, I really dislike teachers who give me lots of homework to do.

My School

Carolina says her school is getting a bit old and uncomfortable.

I'm a student in Escola Básica e Secundária da Calheta. This school is located in Sitio da Vargem.

There are five buildings in my school. The headmaster's room is in the main building.
In the second, third, fourth and fifth buildings there are normal classes. There are classrooms, laboratories and in building two there is the canteen. In the fifth building there is a bar for the students.

There is also a gymnasium. I think my school is getting a bit old and uncomfortable. I hope you enjoyed the visit to my school. Do not forget!

Opinion on school life

Ricardo likes his school, but there are things he doesn't like. Find out.

Hello, my name is Ricardo and I like my school.
Concerning the buildings, the school is very organized. The classrooms have the necessary materials like chairs and tables for the classes. I don't find any problems about this.

The homework is important but too much homework is tiring. For me the teachers are good, but sometimes they are boring. They teach us very important things.

My favourite subjects are P.E. and Arts and Crafts. My weakest subjects are... I don't know. I played in a football team.

In short, I like my school but there are some things I don't like. Sometimes the others students and the security guards annoy us.

My school is good but it isn't the best school. This is my opinion about school.

Hi, my name is Ricardo and my birthday is on the 31st of May.

That day was a Sunday. I woke up at 9:30 am. My first present was a mobile phone and the second was clothes. At 10:00 am I ate.

At eleven o'clock I went to play computer and at 12:00 pm I watched TV. Then I had lunch. From 13:00 pm till 17:00 pm I went to play computer with my friend in her house. We played GTA IV. I like this game. When I came home I went to see football, but unfortunately , my team lost the game.

At 19:00 pm the guests began to arrive. We ate, spoke, played computer, played ping-pong etc.

My gifts were a mobile phone, clothes and money. Now I am thirteen years old. Now I am thirteen!!!!!!

City or countryside

Eduardo prefers living in the countryside.

In my opinion the countryside is better than the city because it is more pure, quiet and relaxing.

The city is noisy and polluted, there’s no clean air and the city is full of people, cars, houses, flats, shopping centres, casinos, etc..

The countryside has got pure air, animals, trees, but the most important thing it's that we can be in contact with the nature.

The countryside can't have shopping centres or casinos or fast food centres but I prefer the countryside because nothing can give me the peace of the countryside.

My Easter holidays

Eduardo went to see "Slumdog Milionaire" and he liked it a lot.

In my last Easter holidays I went to the beach with my friends, we played beach soccer and we swam.

I went to the cinema and I saw "Marley and Me" and it was cool. I also went to see "Slumdog Milionaire" and I liked it a lot. This film won some oscars.

I did my homework and I went a lot to the football field of this scholl near my house. I invited my friends and we formed the teams and played.

In my Easter holidays I also went to the church, my mother is a Sunday school teacher and I had to go with her.

One of Sónia's favourite subjects is Science.

Hello, my name is Sónia C. and I will talk about school life. I go to school on the school bus because my father can not take me to school and my mother does not know how to drive.

At school we can practise sports but I do not do any sport in school. The homework is good because is a good review of the day but sometimes there is too much homework. I don't like Portuguese because I hate verbs, that are very complicated.

I like very much school because besides learning we have many friends. The teachers are helpers because when we do not understand something they explain to us again. They are very demanding. I like all the teachers. My favourite subjects are Science, History, English and Physical Education.

I think school is very cool and sometimes is fun.

Hi! My name is Ricardo and now I’m going to speak about my teachers.

Over the years I have had new teachers, but the teachers are always fine. In this school year I have thirteen teachers. These teachers are good, but sometimes, are bad. I don’t prefer one teacher because I like them all.

My class director is Sonia. She is the Portuguese teacher. She is a good teacher. My English teacher is Nélio. He is very organised because in class he always has his portable computer where he writes his notes.

And I have other teachers for the other subjects. I also like them. I like my teachers!

Hi! I loved my Easter Holidays!
I did lots of things:

I went to the beach;
I had a barbeque with my parents in Paúl da Serra;
I played with my friends;
I played computer games;
And had fun.

I also stayed at home doing nothing on the holy week. I went to church only on Good Friday and on Easter Sunday.

On Good Friday, I saw some films about Jesus’ life. I liked seeing it! On Easter Sunday morning my family and I ate “Hot Cross Buns”, they were delicious! We went to church and then we went for a walk.

I hope your Easter Holidays were as great as mine!

My Easter holidays

The birth of Carolina's cousin was the most important event on her Easter holidays.

My Easter Holidays were good, because I had lot of fun and I was with my family, to celebrate this very special day.

I ate many sweets like almonds, chocolate eggs and other traditional sweets. There for I gained a bit of weight.

I had a big surprise in my Easter vacation, my cousin Soraia was born on Easter Sunday. I was very happy, she is very beautiful! I love babies!

I love being on vacation so I can relax and enjoy myself. I think these were my best Easter holidays only because of the birth of my cousin made me be so happy.

My last Easter holidays

Adriana thinks holydays are an «opportunity to forget our problems and give attention to us and to our family». She's right.
photo copyright

Hi, guys. Here I am, again.

I hope you're not tired of reading my texts, so, if you’re not, I invite you to read one more, because it means a lot to me.

I spent my holidays at home. I watched TV, played on the computer, posted on my blogs a lot and I studied just a little bit… LOL.

Holidays seem to be a cool time, a time to rest, a fantastic time for me. It's an opportunity to forget our problems and give attention to us and to our family.

I spent a lot of time with my family, and I couldn't wait more for it.
On Maundy Thursday, I went to the mass, and I thought a lot about GOD too. This day is to value what we've got.

On Good Friday, I saw many movies on TV about the lives of Mary, Jesus and Joseph. I really like to see every year these movies, because I feel like I'm giving my time to God, thinking in Jesus, and it means much to me.

On Saturday, I went to the mass and I read the Gospel. On Easter Sunday, I went to Madeira Shopping with mom, dad and my sister. It was cool, and my mom bought me a book, and I love it!

On the last day I met Rita. I really love my friends.
I made school homework with my BFF and we passed (spent) a good time together.
I really LOVE HOLIDAYS!

My last weekend

Adriana's last weekend was fun. Read on.

Hi, everyone! How was your last weekend with your family? Was it fun? Was it great? Mine was.
I went with my family to the supermarket, and we didn't go to another place because my sister, me and my mom, we had too much work to do before Monday.

We had a great day, we laughed so much! My father is a great comedian, you know?
I loved this weekend because it was simple, but so great!

Kisses…

My mom

Adriana's mother love writing.
photo copyright

Hello!
How is your mother? Is she funny? Intelligent? Cool? Mine is!

My mother is a teacher, and she teaches kids from 1st to 4th grade. She loves her work, but she tells that politicians are doing wrong things to the schools.

She loves to write texts, humm… just like me! No, I'm like her! LOL.
The only thing that I think that I'm different from her is that she’s not lazy, like me. Yeah, but nobody is perfect! And that is my fault.

I like to sing, and she loves too, but now she has got a problem on her throat, so she can't do it now.

She is very religious, and she's a very good mom. I like when she cooks our favorite food.

She's the best mother in the world, I think. She's a cool and very smiley person, and I LOVE HER.

My Easter holidays

Raquel went to Paris last Easter holidays.

My vacation was very fun because I spent Easter in France with my mother Judith, my best friend Carla and her mother Sandra.

When we arrived there we went to the a hotel. The hotel was very big and beautiful. It had an indoor pool and jacuzzi, the dining room was huge and well decorated. The room was always full of flowers and tidy. After walking around in the hotel I and Carla went to see our room. The room was beautiful and comfortable and had a beautiful view.

On the other days we went shopping in big stores, we did sightseeing tours to various historical monuments, and we only stopped on the last day. And this way we spent our Easter holidays.

We really had fun and the Saturday lunch was great. It was chicken. We bought the meat, the drinks and the bread. Then we went to “Eira” (a place in the mountain that we can see the whole Jardim do Mar), we grilled the chicken , and then we put it in the bread. It was delicious!

I liked my last weekend because I just had fun!

City or countryside

Laura likes living in the countryside.
photo copyright

My favourite place is the countryside because it is quiet, there are animals, no traffic, no streets full of people. It is also big and natural.

The city is polluted, there is much more confusion and it is very noisy, but in the city there are lots of shops.

I like living in the countryside!

On Sunday I went to my cousin's home. At night I went back to my home and went to sleep.

I liked my last weekend because I played with my friends.

Bye people.

My favourite room

Lee-Ann's favourite room has a shape of a square.
photo copyright

My favourite room is the living room. It is medium size and has a shape of a square. The colour of my living room is white.

The left hand wall haqs a window, and in front of he window there's a Sofa. On the left side of the sofa there's a flower pot, and on the right side a table. The table is located in front of the wallunit, and behind the table there is a sofa.

I like the living room because that's where I can watch my favourite programs. When it's Winter I can lie down on the sofa with a warm blanket, then I can watch my television programs.

It is fun when I have the living room just for myself, but when my brother and sister are in the living room I can't watch my television programs, because they are too noisy.

So that's how my living room looks like and why I chose the living room as my favourite room. I like my living room.

City or countryside

Vitor prefers the city because of shopping and the noise.
photo copyright

Hello.

In my opinion, I prefer the city because I like shopping, the noise, the gigant buildings and the other things.

I don't like the countryside because it's very calm. When I grew up I'm going to live in the city in a building, and have a job then.

Maybe when I retire I go live again in the countryside, but I don't know. I'm just a kid. I don't know how my opinion about the countryside is going to change (evolve). Maybe I will live here forever.
