Escola Básica e Secundária da Calheta was opened in 1982.

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!

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.

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!

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.

City or countryside

2009-06-05T18:33:00.004+01:00

Eduardo prefers living in the countryside.
photo copyright

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Vitor prefers the city because of shopping and the noise.

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.

Hi, my name is Ricardo and now I'm going to talk about my last weekend.

On Friday night I went to the scouts, where I sing. After I went to explain my football coach why I missed training. Next I went home to sleep, because Saturday is my favourite day.

On Saturday I woke up at 9:30 am, because my cousin arrived and I went with him to play computer. I stayed with my cousin for a lot of time, but at twelve o'clock I went to play football with him.

Calvin watched movies last weekend.

Hi there!

I didn’t do anything special this weekend.

Saturday morning, I woke up, got dressed, made my bed, had breakfast and cleaned my room.

After 10:00 a.m., I started doing my homework and study. I had lunch and continued studying.

Just before 17:00 p.m., I got dressed and went to catechism. I came home, had a shower and saw some films. A bit later, I had dinner and went to bed.

On Sunday, I got dressed and went to church. After church my family and I had a long and quiet lunch. While my parents were cleaning the house, I started to practise my clarinet. Then we went for a drive and had dinner in a little restaurant.

We came home and I had a shower. I packed my bag for Monday and watched TV until bedtime and went to bed.

I enjoyed telling what I did this weekend and I hope everyone’s weekend was great!

Living in the city or in the countryside?

2009-03-01T23:26:00.002Z

Calvin loves both the city and the countryside for different reasons.

Both the city and the countryside have their advantages and their disvantages.

When I lived in the city I liked living there as there are more people, cinamas, big shopping centres…

But when I moved here to Madeira, I started to love the Nature of the countryside: the fresh air, sociable people and the scenic views. I love this calm and pleasant life.

I still like everything the city has to offer; the crowded and busy streets, lots of constructions and most important are the chances of getting a good and a stable job.

I will grow up here in the countryside because it is safe but later when I go study I would like to live in the city, maybe in London or Lisbon.

Only time will tell!

My favourite room

2009-03-01T23:07:00.003Z

Calvin's room is all blue.

Hi, there!

I’m going to describe my favorite room, my bedroom. My bedroom isn’t very big nor small; it is a medium sized room. It is between the kitchen and the staircase. I don’t have a lot of privacy because I share it with my two cousins. But we have a great time together.

My bedroom is all blue; there is my bed in the right corner of the room, beside it there is my bedside table and on it there is a lamp. Above my bed there is a big poster of my favorite music band. On the opposite side of it there is my chest of drawers. Next to my bed there is a bunk bed, which is where my cousins sleep in. Between the bunk bed and my wardrobe there is a long blue rug.

I love my bedroom, it's very comfortable.

Hope your favorite room is as good and comfortable as mine.

From your friend…

Hi! My name is Ricardo, and now I'm goingo to describe my school.

My school is a public school and has got six buildings. One is for the sports, four are for classes and one is for the teachers and the others important people.

In the first building, there is the library, the conference room, the teachers' coffee room, the director's office and more sevices.

In the second building we have the canteen and rooms for classes. In the third and fourth buildings there are more classrooms. In the fifth building we have rooms for classes, the pupils' bar and the radio station. The name of the radio is “Radio Horizonte”.

I like my school because I lean, of course, and speak with my friends and it is fun to me.

I like my school!

City or countryside

2009-02-20T18:24:00.007Z

Ricardo prefers living in the countryside. Read on to find out his reasons.
photo copyright

Hi, my name is Ricardo and I'm going to talk about life in the countryside and the city.

In my opinion I prefer living in the countryside because is more calm, it doesn't have too much people (it is not crowded) and there is no pollution.

I feel it is more important to live in the city, but there is too much stress, it's noisy, it is not quiet, just too many people.

I think it is easier to live in the countryside, because there aren't many streets or cars. Shopping, going to the doctor or to the airport are the reasons I go to the city.

I like the countryside because it is more beautiful than the city.

My favourite game

2009-02-19T14:54:00.005Z

Ricardo's favourite game is FIFA Soccer 2009.

Hi, my name is Ricardo and my favourite game is FIFA 09 or FIFA Soccer 09.

I like this game because I like football. Also because it has my favourite clubs. My favourite clubs are SL Benfica, Man.United FC, FC Barcelona and FC Internazionale Milano (Inter de Mião). The best of this clubs is Man.United.

In the game we create players, with our names, and we create one club. The name of my new club is “Estrela da Calheta”, because it is the club where I play at this moment.

For me the best player is the incredible Cristiano Ronaldo.

This is my favourite game.

My favourite game

2009-02-14T19:38:00.006Z

Adriana loves playing SIMS 2, but she does not forget her school tasks.
photo copyright

Hi! How are you?
I’m fine, I guess...

In this text I will tell you some things about my favourite game… Well, it is a computer game. Guess What! It’s SIMS 2!

I just have one version, but I have an older friend that has installed some other versions of this game in my PC.

No, I’m not addicted to this game. My godmother gave me this game last year, in my birthday. I just play it on holidays, and I rarelly do remember to play it.

I think that this game is fun because even if you’re a child, you have to take care of parents and children and manage all their money. There are responsibilities, but they make us laugh and have a great time.

When I play it, I just play it for one and a half hour, because you can’t “be in front of PC all the day”!

I think that it’s OK to play games, but you can’t take time from school to just play them!

My favourite room

2009-02-14T19:26:00.004Z

Adriana likes her bedroom because there are all her things in there, and that’s the room where she can dream without being disturbed by others.

Here I am, once again.

Now I’m going to talk about my favourite room... And guess what? It’s my bedroom... or my and my sister’s bedroom!

Yes, I share my bedroom with her. Sometimes it’s difficult, but we know that there’s isn’t other chance.

My bedroom is upstairs, and it is between my parents' bedroom and my mom’s study. It’s also in front of the living room.

To me and to my sister, our bedroom is small. It’s rectangular and there are tapestries on the walls, a computer and a desk. There’s a big window and just one door.

I like my bedroom because there are all my things in there, and that’s the room where I can dream without being disturbed by others, and where I can write my diary.

It’s very cool, and I love it!

Adriana is right: more than a (big) house you need a home.

Hi! My house is at Arco da Calheta. I have a detached house, in Rua dos Palheiros, and it’s very simple: it’s not a big house.

Downstairs there is the garage, where my parents’ cars stay. Upstairs there is a kitchen, a study, two bedrooms and a living room. On top there is the attic, where my old toys are.

My kitchen has three colours: orange, white and yellow. All the other rooms are white. I share my bedroom with my sister, but sometimes it’s not easy, because each one of us needs her space. But my favourite room is my bedroom.

I don’t have a big garden and I don’t have a swimming pool. I think you don’t need to have a big house to feel good… you just have to like your home. And I like mine!:D

Jimmy Carr's favourite room

2009-02-11T18:53:00.004Z

Rosanna Greenstreet interviews the comedian Jimmy Carr about his bedroom.

My favourite room is my bedroom. I enjoy sleep, as all comedians do. We work about 20minutes of the day, we've got to do something with the rest of the time and sleep eats up a good proportion.

The brilliant thing about my bedroom is the fact that it's my office as well. When I had a proper job, my commute used to be an hour and a half each way; now I've got it down to less than three seconds. And that includes putting a dressing gown on.

There's a bookshelf full of distractions. I tend not to read fiction, but I've got a lot of reference books. If you are sitting in front of a blank page, you can always go and look up some fact and write a joke around that. I also have biographies of comics.

The walls in my bedroom are terracotta, which makes the room look a bit Spanish, and I've got sea grass on the floor, so I've now got very hard feet. I have a big pine monstrosity of a bed, which I inherited from my mother. That sounds vaguely oedipal; I assure you it isn't - it's just a nice, comfy bed. I also have a big desk. I mistakenly bought a computer from a friend who knows something about computers. So I've got an enormous thing that could probably bring down Western civilisation, but I only use it to word-process on. I've got Surround Sound for the computer - when I switch on, it has been known to genuinely scare me.

The most exciting thing about my bedroom is that I first made love to my girlfriend here, and it's where I fell in love. Her name is Karoline with a K - she's Canadian. The spelling held me back from falling in love for a while.

The worst thing that's ever happened in my bedroom is insomnia. I went through a patch of not being able to get to sleep and I had a TV in the room at the time. There's a huge temptation to stay up and say 'I'd better watch some wrestling until four.' So now I refuse to have a telly in my room. I am hugely fond of my battered old Roberts radio, though. I think I'm hitting middle age - I'm keen on Five Live and listen to an awful lot of Radio Four.

NOTE:
Christine's favourite room HERE (with pictures).

My favourite room [example]

2009-02-11T18:49:00.002Z

You can read & listen to the text HERE.

My house is quite large. It has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen, a study, a living room, a dining room, a special games room and a big front and back garden.

My favourite room is my bedroom. I love it because it is the only room in my house where I can lock myself away from the rest of the world. After a long hard day, all I want to do is go up to my cosy bedroom and either listen to some mellow music, or lie down, unwind and watch a bit of T.V or maybe even a relaxing film. This room is very special to me because I have inhabited it for over fifteen years. It is a part of me. It is full of my personal possessions and it has been decorated with my fair hands.

So what does this special room look like? Well, it's quite big, but not huge. It's big enough to hold a double bed, which leans against the back wall of the room. There is a sofa bed, which leans against the left wall in the room. In front of the bed there is a dressing table with a large mirror. This is the place where I sit every morning and dry my hair and put on my make-up. Either side of the dressing table there are two wardrobes.

The wardrobe on the right is the one I use daily, the one on the left is full of disused toys, games, clothes and books. A bit messy! My television and video recorder are on a shelf above the dressing table. Also on this shelf, there is a selection of my favourite videos: Pretty Woman, Dirty Dancing, and Austin Powers. On the left hand side of my bed, to the left of the door, there is a chest of draws and on top of the chest I have my stereo. Scattered around the room. I have photos of my friends and family. These photos bring back memories of happy times spent.

My best friend

Adriana shows how important is friendship.

Hello!
I’m going to talk about my best friend, Sónia.

We met in the 1st year, and since that year, we are best friends. We love each other. She is very cool and understanding.

She can make me laugh when I'm sad, and she is always by my side. Sometimes, we talk about what we like, like music, fashion, languages, and about school.

We are good students. We have the same second name, Cristina. She calls me Adri, and I call her Kitty, or Chris.

We have good times together and we know that our secrets, with our connection, will never leave our souls, because we respect very much each other.

Sometimes, even though we are not neighbours, I go to her house or she comes to my place, and we have a good time together, after school.

We like to do the (home)work together, or study.
We know that we’ll be best friends 4 ever!
